All the gyms I go too not once was I ever offered a tour...I walk into gym and its like walking into the front door of my house....I know my way around....its where I'm most comfortable.
Anyway the Golds I belong too I pay $30 a month but I've been there since they opened in 1996, now members are being charged $55 a month. I'm a member at 2 other gyms and Gold's is the most expensive for new members.
Nothing beat the Worlds's Gym when Kevin L. still owned it, we worked out anytime we wanted for free...it was great. Now the WG has gone to shit!
