This is Texas. South Texas at that. And summer time…read more This gym was apart of my blue cross blue shield fitness plan so I figured I'd slip planet and workout here for a day. Got signed up for an account, super easy. Guy was very friendly and explained everything well. The front room was a little air conditioned? Had some older cardio equipment which was nice. But still rather dated. But it worked, and that's what's important. Walked through to the actual gym, and was at first excited. Then very disappointed. It was that old school iron plate, ivanco dumbbell, smells like grit gym. Then I started to notice how badly maintained the machines are. The ones that had the padding in any sort of operational order were out of order. The ones that you could use, mostly, we're so far beat up I was a bit grossed out and didn't do a lot of the machines that I wanted to. That being said they did have sanitation bottles everywhere for you to wipe down the equipment. So it was clean. They did have two smith machines and a couple power racks, which were in good working order. And all the bars themselves had great knurling and we're pretty nice. So the Texas thing? Why say all that? It's an open air, no ac, and a few poorly placed fans gym. It's uncomfortablely hot. Most everyone smelled okay but honestly it was too hot to get in a good workout. Had the machines been in better condition it might be a little different. But unfortunately with the state of the machines and how hot it was I'm going to cancel my membership, mostly because I wouldn't be utilizing it. If they had the machines re-covered they machines wouldnt be that bad. Friendly. Absolutely. Clean? It was despite the padding on some machines Well maintained and worth coming back? For this reviewer, no.

The kids club staff also wipe down toys, activity saucers and walkers. Always plenty of parking in front of the building. The best part is that Golds is constantly renovating their building and adding better machines and fixing things that need to be fixed. Lots of work out classes to choose from which I have yet to take advantage of. Racket ball, boxing, cinema room, pool area and a steam room available. Golds also has showers with a sink and mirror area so you can freshen up after a good work out. They also have a point system called perkville that gives you 5 points at every check in. Points can add to get a free drink or various other goodies.

I told them I had an appointment for an interview already in place only to be told that they can't find my application in their profile.

Dear Daniel, You've…read morealways had a great business, you've always had great customers and friends. It's a damn shame there were so many haters in Harlingen and in McAllen with sticky fingers, five finger discounting your cash registers and your profits only because they don't own their own business. It is not easy hiring trust worthy people that are honest and know how to run an honest business and respect the owner who graciously gave them an opportunity to have a job. People think it's ok to steal from a cash register "WHEN IT'S NOT!" People need to respect the business that they work for and work as honestly as possible which means even respecting the customers time. You can do it again and I'm sure as long as you have the right people in place running the invoicing and the cashiering you will have a booming business. I've known you for a very long time and your original friends are the ones that know how much you struggled trying to find the right people just to build that "Body Building Group". Hey, man I'm sorry for all of your losses over time even with Russo's NYC Pizzeria, I actually got to manage one with Eric in Brownsville and another one in South Padre Island, TX. That is one of the most easiest businesses to run and it's a money maker. I wish I could afford to invest in one. Either way, I hope all is well with you and I hope you are able to overcome what's happening. I too am going through the bad business ordeal and am looking for employment. If you happen to want to open just a lean nutrition store in Harlingen. Let me know, just reply to this review and I'll be in touch. By the way how's Ronald in Mission, TX? God Bless you all!

Highly recommend the Perfect Body Studio!…read more I signed up for the 6 Week Challenge back in January and lost a total of 17 lbs within that period. The weekly nutrition consultations were incredibly helpful. Four weeks into my challenge, I hit a plateau, but my coach adjusted my diet, and by the next weigh-in, I had dropped body fat and gained muscle. After my 6-week challenge, I thought I could manage on my own, but I returned in March and committed for a year. I've developed better eating habits and significantly boosted my self-confidence. Unlike other gyms, the staff at The Perfect Body Studio will call you if you miss a session, reminding you why you started in the first place. I'd rather invest my money in my health now than in medication later. Love you all for making me feel like more than just a client!
