Pros

Pros Include: Free Gym Membership right out of the gate at most gyms A very dedicated and enthusiastic group fitness staff Well educated personal trainers

Cons

Cons include: You tend to get unhealthy yourself in an odd phenomenon: you're there all day and don't feel like being there any longer to work out at the end of the day. There's some inherent darkness is the auto draft payment system: Golds Gym tries to eek out every last cent from the customer, even if technically they should not.
