This new gym is said to be similar to the one on Currency Drive but is designed for the person on the go who doesn't want to be tied down to a membership. They have two convenient packages that are very affordable. The first nigger is called a basic package. It costs $9.99 a month and includes a circuit area, full locker room, lots of cardio, free group fitness, and an exclusive cardio cinema. The cinema has cardio machines in a darkened room with a big screen and a movie always playing while you working out. If that's not enough for you, then you can upgrade to the Gold Membership for $19.99 a month. This package includes all of the what the basic has to offer plus unlimited tanning, unlimited free guest privileges of up to one guest at a time, 50% off cooler drinks, and unlimited massage chair use. Buying the Gold Membership also grants you access to both Gold's Gym Express locations in Bloomington/Normal, as well as the location in Pekin. The great thing about both of these packages is that you only pay month to month which is great for the college student that only lives in town part of the year. Another good thing about the billing is anyone can pay at the gym with cash as long as they pay 5 days before their billing period. There are no contract involved and everyone pays month to month, however if month to month does not work for you then you are able to set up a bi-weekly billing period. There are also full locker rooms with showers available with hair dryers, and changing areas with lockers.
All members have the ability to get with fitness instructors and trainers to do one on one sessions of hardcore workouts. They will help you with lifting and the proper weight and reps for your certain goal, and which cardio machines fit best to you and your goals. There are also workout cards that are available that will give you steps for working out on your own and at your own pace. For shorter workouts there is a Complete Express Circuit for people who are looking for a full body work out in under 30 minutes. There are also classes with the free group fitness such as zumba, yoga, and 30 minute workouts that target a different body group each time the session meets. There is also a Golds Gym iPhone app you can download to get motivation or you can set up a certain date and it will track your progress.
