Gold's Gym

As a weightlifter, I like what the gym has in the way of equipment. One of the great things about this gym is that it is never crowded in the cardio or weight room. However, the staff there is abysmal. Weights are constantly left on the machines and are severely out of order. Nobody ever checks or cleans the weight room and it pisses me off. A decent amount of your time is spent moving things out of the way and trying to find places for weights. The music is a bother, but just bring your iPod.

Really enjoy my experience at this gym! The staff is friendly. They have some great classes that I have yet to find at other clubs like Kukuwa (African Dance Class) and even Kickboxing en Espanol!

Why can't we get a *good* gym in downtown SS?
I would not maintain my membership at this gym if I had any alternative in downtown Silver Spring.  The machines are frequently out of order.  Management doesn't seem to monitor this. When I point out broken equipment, they may feign interest, but the equipment remains out of order.  The rest room is filthy, the lockers skimpy in size.  The TV's blare whatever rap videos and reality TV the staff cares to watch.  There is no way for members to change the channel.  The gym is very crowded in the evenings, though it's much better in the early a.m.
