Gold's Gym
Reviews
I am so happy to have found this gym. I have been struggling with health issues that effect my weight for years. As my weight increased my self esteem seemed to disappear. I've joined several gyms in the area in the past, and after a few months gave up on each one. It wasn't because of lack of motivation, but rather at the one gym I felt ignored (no matter how much I interacted, my questions were dismissed), and at the other I felt judged (the snickers from the skinny teenage girls a the front desk as I attempted to wrestle with the machines was unbearable). On a whim I stopped by the pre-sales desk at the mall back in June and met Jean Marie. A very sweet girl who as I welled up telling her my story, as well as my hopes and goals, reached across the sales desk took my hand and whispered "we can do this together." Her genuine affect sold me, I truly felt she meant what she said. The first few weeks one the gym opened I spent shyly testing the waters. My past experiences have left me a bit traumatized, so I've been hesitant. I stuck to the machines I was familiar with and was able to lose 10 lbs so far. Last week I decided to be brave and take things to the next level. I gathered up all of my courage and boldly went to the front desk to inquire about how to specifically target my lower ab section, to my (happy) surprise the ladies greeted me with a warm and infectious smile that instantly put me at ease. Marcy took me around, showing me several machines how to use them, and encouraging me the whole time. After my workout I ran into Marcy in the locker room. She greeted me by name, and offered even more words of encouragement. I have spent this week (that typically would have been full of emotional holiday eating) exploring the moves and machines that Marcy showed me, and building my confidence with each day. 2015 is looking very promising thanks to the wonderful people I have met so far at Gold's Gym Phillipsburg. My journey is still at its beginning, however for once it actually seems obtainable. Thank you Gold's Gym Phillipsburg for making me feel hopeful again.
First I want to say that I was very worried about joining a gym! Well after the first visit everything I thought about a gym was wrong! Gold's gym is just amazing... Everyone from the girls at the front desk, young ladies that sign you up, the personal trainers and the owner are something special. Very helpful and are there to answer any and all questions you may have. I truly enjoy going to the gym and can't thank them enough for making me feel like part of the family!! Even if you are just starting out like me or already have a workout routine Gold Gym will fit your needs and more!! I freaking love it!
