Gold's Gym SoCal Blog

Have you ever walked into a gym and seen an indoor turf field and avoided it like the plague? We get it, seeing all that open space with the equipment you probably haven't used before is intimidating, and it feels much safer to bee-line towards the familiar cardio and HIIT equipment. But, how many times can you run on a treadmill or push through an elliptical workout before you get burned out? We're going to help you switch things up by giving you the rundown on indoor turf fields and why you should be utilizing them.

If you’ve hit a plateau in your fitness transformation, or you find yourself avoiding the gym at all costs then it’s time to hit the refresh on your workouts. Doing the same exercises day after day can cause you to feel like you’ve hit cruise control, so it’s time to put the pedal to the metal and take back your love for exercising. 

GGX (Gold’s Group Exercise) is not your momma’s group fitness class! Many gym junkies write off group fitness classes before trying them because they think they won't be challenging enough. At Gold’s Gym SoCal, that couldn’t be further from the truth. It may come as a surprise, but group fitness classes have come a long way to provide varied formats, intensities and RESULTS! Gold's Gym SoCal GGX features the BEST instructors, motivating music and a variety of programs - all fueled by more than 50 years of fitness innovation. 

Grab your sunscreen, because we’re taking our workouts outside! Gold’s Gym SoCal is officially open outdoors and our members, and staff have been loving the outdoor playground we’ve put together.
