Review
The newly redesigned Acworth Gold's Gym, completed late last year, touts well-designed hardwood floors, huge ceilings, a loft area, multiple group exercise rooms and an overall attractive presentation.

The redesign created a lot of space, which is great considering so many gyms are packed full. Gold's has ample floor space to comfortably accommodate its clientele.

The gym's atmosphere lends itself to the serious lifter and could be intimidating to the beginner. When I arrived, the gym was packed with men with huge biceps and women wearing little more than sports bras.

The sales staff was friendly, but not at all pushy. I produced my one day "VIP" pass and was allowed to workout without the standard sales pitch and supervised tour of the facility. Once I finished my workout, I was waved down by the manager who told me I was welcome to come back to the gym again before making a decision to join.

The one gripe I have about this Gold's Gym location is that the equipment seems to have been carried over from an older location. While still functioning, most of it is out of date. However, other than the not-so-new equipment and slight air of body building elitism, the gym is a great choice for anyone looking for a middle of the road place to work out.
