Been working out at EIF for just over 5 months. It's been worth every penny. I was once very active…read morein the gym and between having kids, a business or two and some prior health issues I had no shortage of excuses for skipping the gym. So I searched out a trainer and fixed appointments to both keep me motivated and frankly because I knew I'd go if I was paying more than a gym membership. I looked at many options in the area and settled on EIF based on their reputation, individualized process, the others I looked at just seemed to be too cookie cutter and cared less what I wanted from my exercise. Originally I planned on getting in the swing of things and then going back to working out on my own at a monthly gym. I now look forward to working out and plan on continuing with EIF indefinitely. Not only do the trainers keep me pushing as hard as I can but they are knowledgeable and helpful on every subject from form, to diet to helping with injuries and preventing them. I've gained muscle, lost weight, and considerably lowered my body fat. My energy levels are off the charts and it's been very easy to accommodate the timing, no more excuses to skip the gym. Joe has been very easy to work with on scheduling and tweaking my program when needed. Highly recommend working with EIF whether you want to lose weight or move more weight....or both.

I attended an introductory Pilates class at the suggestion of a family member, who had been raving…read moreabout her experiences here. Recently, she invited me as her guest, so I agreed to give it a try. I was forewarned that the class was relatively intense but worth it, so I showed up mentally prepared to work hard. The studio was clean. The check-in process was simple. The class began on time. The instructor's brief overview of the class and demonstration of the moves before class helped set the tone. During class, she helped with exercise form, especially for novices like me. She also assisted with setting up the reformer, if needed. The class was moderately paced, accompanied by good music. While in session, the room had ambient yet visible lighting, creating a relaxed atmosphere. Following class, I felt the impact of every move. I experienced some soreness for about two days, but it wasn't too bad. I felt the class made a difference. I have attended many exercise classes, but with this one, I felt the impact days later. The instructor was great. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. I will try it again.

Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and settling up a membership is a snap (ha, pun intended!). As for equipment, there's everything you could need (aside from maybe a GHD). This gym has two squat racks, multiple benches, bumper plates, dumbbells up to 70ish lbs, and weight machines galore. They also have a lot of treadmills, a rowing machine, bikes, and even a ski machine. There's a large stretching area too. It's open 24/7 (but you must come during limited staffed hours to get set up). All in all, a phenomenal gym!

I went by today after work to set up a membership and there was no staff there. The gym was open…read moreand people were inside working out, but when I called the gym to see why I couldn't find any staff there, the recording lists the times that they are staffed. Every day that they're open there are several hours that there's no one attending, and on the weekends they're only there from 7 a.m. - noon. Note, I don't care about the convenience aspect of needing to go at a different time to set up a membership, but it's a very unsafe idea to have a gym with literally no staff there. I'm surprised that they can even do that, legally. I will be choosing a different local gym to join.

Golds Gym has everything you need.

The space is decent and laid out in a way that makes sense. Depending on the time of day, it can get busy, but I'm usually still able to get through my workout without too much waiting. It's a good mix of people too. You've got beginners, regulars, and people who are really serious about training, but it doesn't feel intimidating. Everybody is just focused on their own thing. The gym is kept up pretty well. Not perfect, but clean enough where it's comfortable to work out. Staff is cool. They're there if you need something, but they're not in your face, which I prefer. Only downside is peak hours can get crowded, especially around after work hours, so you might have to adjust your timing if you want a smoother workout. Overall, it's a reliable gym. Nothing over the top, but it has everything you need to stay on track and get results. Definitely a solid choice if you're in the area.

Through their workouts and talking about diet they not only helped me lose the 20 lbs. I had gained, they also got me 10 lbs. below that. The transformation from more fat to more muscle was so amazing that I started playing soccer again in my 50's! More importantly, I am no longer a client because they taught me how to eat healthy and work out. Instead of going up to a 36" waist which I didn't want to do when I joined I am down to 32". They did such a good job teaching me that I have been able to maintain my weight loss for over a year now. Oh, almost forgot to mention that I am so healthy my doctor took me off the med's over a year ago. Awesome for me! Sean and his team are terrific! Can't thank them enough!
