No more Gold's Gym in Vegas

[EvanL]

Last year when I was in Vegas for the Olympia I worked out at the local Golds on lake mead blvd, which I remembered from Jay Cutlers one step closer dvd. This year I'm going to the Olympia but after looking for which gym to go to i found that Golds Gym no longer has any location in Vegas, they are all changed over to something called eos fitness. Sad day when the original gym doesn't even have a location in the city the Mr. Olympia is held

All that has changed is the name, each gym is still the same inside just a re-branding. Same fee's, same staff, same gym....

All of the Golds location here in AZ are now also EOS as are many of the California locations.

From the comments section of that ^^^^ video:

"I work for Golds/EoS. The majority owner of the franchise (Phoenix, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, and Temecula) sold a big chunk to EoS. They want to open 4 new gyms a year to expand the company. Its almost $1 million per gym to use the Golds name. For this reason they chose to drop the name and use the money saved to expand."

You live in Vegas. :-)

Gold's is a franchise that kept increasing the franchise fees. This led the gym management companies to change brands. The same thing happened in northern Nevada when I lived in Reno, all Gold's switched to Fitness Connection. They were the same gyms, with the same equipment and staff, just re-named.

Stan Efferding is opening a gym there which will be hardcore. We are hitting that up when we are in Vegas for the Olympia

Talked to the owner last week when they were supposed to have the grand opening
The merger or whatever it's called is still up in the air

What do you mean by "hardcore" gym?

Something like Metroflex?

Two Gold gyms just popped up in the New Orleans area within the last 18 months, I knew something fishy was going on considering that we haven't had a Golds Gym in this location for years.
