Gold's Gyms Stand The Test Of Time

Sometimes the tried-and-true works best for folks.

(Wednesday, May 27, 2009) - Gold's Gyms have been around longer than most and are the fitness centers of choice for numerous people across the country. The tradition started more than 40 years ago, when Joe Gold opened a modest fitness center in Venice Beach, Calif., and began a tradition of commitment, passion and dedication that now is practiced at more than 600 locations across the globe.

At a Gold's Gym near you (there are 25 Maryland locations, 37 Virginia locations and 20 D.C. locations) you"™ll find all of the latest cardio and strength training equipment along with a dynamic group exercise program that includes classes such as yoga, group cycling, mixed martial arts, muscle endurance training and Pilates.

"I used to work out with a personal trainer, but found it to be expensive and felt I wasn"™t getting as much cardio work as I think I needed,"� says Jen Atkin, who works out at the Ballston Gold's. "I joined Gold's in part because I know a lot of people who work out there, but I was also looking for a gym with a full schedule of group fitness classes.

"Group fitness works best for me because I know I"™ll push myself more than if I were working out alone. The best part is the group fitness classes at Gold's give me a total body workout""I don"™t feel like I need to add extra weights or cardio,"� adds Atkin.

Gold's at Ballston offers a popular Cardio Tone class on Monday and Wednesday mornings. "The instructor, Bill, is great at motivating people to push themselves. He definitely doesn"™t let you get by with the bare minimum. The music is fantastic and it makes the time fly by,"� says Atkin.

Gold's Gyms are everywhere in D.C. Metropolitan area.
