Gold’s Gym Review

What You Should Know

Gold’s Gym is considered the cornerstone of bodybuilding and has had celebrity following, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Morrison, and is recognized today as one of the world’s leading gyms. Along with offering the latest fitness equipment and certified trainers, they also offer fitness classes such as yoga and mixed martial arts, along with their own personal store called Gold’s Gear. Additionally, they offer personalized services such as tanning beds and childcare, but this depends on the location.

Because of its leadership in the bodybuilding community, Gold’s Gym has earned quite a reputation, but its audience isn’t strictly limited to bodybuilders and celebrities. Their membership plans are affordable also and typically cost between $50 to $60 per month. For dieters too busy to stick with an exercise program, popping into their favorite gym might be a better option instead, but it is important to evaluate if the gym is the best fit. We will evaluate how well Gold’s Gym will fit the average dieter’s lifestyle.

Product Features

Gold’s Gym features a variety of elliptical and weight machines, along with trainers who can help guide dieters on the right exercises for their body type. They do offer personalized sessions if dieters wish to take a more controlled approach, but this is expensive and is added to the monthly membership rate. Most of its other add on services, including tanning and childcare services, are also automatically charged and added to a person’s membership, upping the amount paid each month. This seems to be a complaint shared by many members.

Gold’s Gym childcare service, which varies depending on the gym (all gyms are privately owned), seems to be a plus with members. It does cost extra, but members seem to appreciate this feature, stating that it allowed them to workout without worrying who would watch over their kids. There don’t seem to be any complaints surrounding this issue. Collectively, most members emphasize how much they like the variety of machines and services available at Gold’s Gym, although they also report membership is difficult to cancel.

Advantages

  • Offers childcare services to members, which is useful for mothers who want to get into shape.
  • Offers a variety of workout programs and workout machines.

Disadvantages

  • Members report having difficulty canceling their membership.
  • They charge additional fees for different services.
  • Month to month membership costs more, and canceling it costs additional money.

Conclusion

Gold’s Gym is considered the leader in bodybuilding, but still offers a variety of services for the average dieter, including varied workout programs and simple workout machines. The hidden fees and additional prices for other services is an issue, and you may end up paying more than is advertised. If you realistically think you can commit to 2-3 gym days a week, Gold’s Gym could be the place for you, but in terms of dieting and weight loss for the average reader, it may be a bit extreme.

**Our Top Weight Loss Choice**

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
