Gym Membership Chain Question

[Wynn]

Years ago I had a membership at a Powerhouse in Manhattan. When maintenance issues came up members had the option of using the other facility on 23rd St. Since then I've been at privately owned gyms and now I'm tired of the one I go to(the membership is up in a few weeks). There's a Gold's near where I live and a World Gym about 10 miles away. If I joined Gold's does that allow me to train at any of the other in the chain that I happen to be vacationing or working near?

yes

Well i think that if you sign up for a gold gym u can go to any other golds gym in the city

I am going to a golds gym and i got to 3 differnt onse all the time

Good to hear

YOU CAN ONLY USE OTHER GOLDS GYMS FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME. LIKE IF YOU WENT ON VACATION,YOU COULD USE A GOLDS GYM SOME WHERE ELSE. YOU CANT JUST PICK AND CHOOSE.

So if I ever find time to go to Cali I could go to the one in Venice and save some cash for ...um...other things.

Most nationwide chains, World's, Golds, YMCA will let you go to any gym in the general area where you are a member for free.
Some of them will let you use the facility in another city for free and some let you use them for a small daily/weekly floor fee like $5-10.

I am in the South West and I use 24 hour fitness. They give you the option of being able to use any facility at the time of enrollment. It just costs a bit more.

Cool.

For gold's it depends on the contract you sign.
Some will let you use any in the area others will not.
Usually doesn't cost that much more.
You can use the ones over 50 miles from your home gym for 14 visits during the year with membership.

Have you contacted the Gold's Gym you want to join and ask them?

Not yet. I still have a couple weeks to shop around. Just trying to get a feel for it before diving in.
