[quote=Anonymous]I'm a longtime member of Golds and I really like it, but I've also belonged to Bally's and Washington Sports Club and liked those too.  Most of the gym chains serve a wide range of people, from a few muscleheads who stick to the weight room, to the social butterflies who take lots of classes.

I run outside 3-4 days a week, but love the gym for several reasons: 
1 - because the treadmills are better than the one I have at home on days when running outside is not desirable.  
2 - i like the cardio machines for the days I don't run (which are too expensive to buy for home).  
3 - I lift weights 3-4 times a week and they have great machines that I find easier than free weights.  
4 - I like the classes, especially yoga, and have definitely made friends through the classes I've taken over the years.  (I haven't really met other people at the gym except through the classes.)

I chose Golds because it's close to my home, but at one point I had a second gym membership which was close to work.  I find that if the gym isn't convenient, you won't go.  Good luck!  OH, and most gyms will offer you a free orientation session with a trainer, and most offer deals where you can get a few sessions for a pretty reasonable price.  I once got 4 sessions for $100 and the trainer was great.  I don't have time for a trainer all the time, but it was neat to learn new stuff.[/quote]
