If you want to get the straight dope on this gym, look up "Gold's Gym" at the same address...but guess what, you won't be able to find it since the owner first closed it temporarily, which made Yelp delete that listing. I'm guessing that either the national "Gold's Gym" got wind of the massive amount of complaints this place was getting which hurts their national rep, and/or the owner thinks he's being clever by evading all the nasty reviews that his lousy business got while under the GG banner.
In a nutshell: somewhat decent facility full of wannabe frat boy types hogging the squat racks but absymal service (nasty, rude, unhelpful staff) and deliberately CRIMINAL billing practices---if you are silly enough to sign up then be sure to use a Walmart refillable credit card that you can simply toss should you ever cancel your membership, or these crooks will deliberately continue to auto-charge you monthly AFTER you have gone through all the required steps to cancel. Basically you will need to pay a lawyer a hundred bucks or so to send them a "cease and desist" letter as well as cancel your credit card. (To be fair, a lot of the national chain gyms employ this shady "business practice" as well---that's why I tell my friends to just save themselves the hassle and go join a YMCA instead, which is a non-profit not a collection of evil, money-grubbing sociopaths.)
