Gold’s Gym at North Hills Raleigh is one of the nicest gyms I’ve ever been to in my life (not sure if this is saying much since the only other gym I’ve been to is the YMCA). It’s got great workout equipment (machines and free weights), a basketball court, room that has movies playing on a giant screen for you to watch while riding the bike, and clean locker rooms. Let me say it again–clean locker rooms!
Everyone who works there is very friendly and always willing to spot/help. However, since the gym is such a quality place to work out in Raleigh, it can get a little crowded, especially right after work around 5:30 or 6pm. But even then, it’s not too bad.
From what I’ve heard, guests of the new Renaissance hotel will have access to this gym–not sure if it will be free or paid.
My one complaint would be the quality of their basketballs. Some of them have outer covers that are peeling off, so they need to replace these basketballs. Other than that, the gym is great. If you join, make sure that you’ll be going often, since you have to sign a contract for a year (and from what I’ve read, it can be pretty tough to get out of the contract, if you decide you want to stop going).
What does everyone else think about the Gold’s Gym at North Hills?

It’s a pretty decent gym. I go there sometimes when I’m in town for a few days. Nice people and great environment to work out.
