There is nothing "Urban" or "Active" about that over glorified "Fitness Facility"

It's a chain of gyms along the I 75 corridor.
They were at one time Gold Gyms, until the owner of said gyms had a falling out with the Gold's franchise. When I saw the first signs that a Gold's was going to be in my area I thought sweet, and then the Urban Active sign went up and I said WTF!! I overheard that the name Gold's would conjur up bad images and bring "undesirables" to the area i.e. the hardcore initiated. I hear it is a great place to pick up the ladies if you are single.:D

The story I was told by an insider was the owner wanted to expand his territory under the Gold's name and was denied, so he changed the names of the gyms he owned.

The one's I've been in were nice and clean but a liitle too "flashy" for my taste.
