Golds gym!

Yes! The ODU gym is finally open! It is a great place for students, faculty and alumni to go if they want a nice free gym. For those of you who do not attend ODU you may want to try Golds Gym. It's in a newly renovated building on Monticello.

Complete with a Cardio cinema, weight rooms, fitness rooms, spa, tanning, smoothie bar, basketball court, saunas and showers. It also has trainers. When you first sign up for Golds you get 3 free training sessions. One you can use when you first arrive, two for anytime after that. If a summer vacation is coming up use your training session then. Want to look good for the holidays, time to use a trainer! Golds gym is ready and equipped to meet any of your needs.

My favorite part of Golds Gyms, aside from the smoothie bar, is the cardio cinema. Its basically a theater with cardio machines set up like bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills. They place a movie in front of you that you can see from every machine, and its loud enough that you can have all the treadmills being used by serious runners and still hear what is going on in the movie. They always play pretty popular and new movies. I love it so much because you can be running on the treadmill and half the movie goes by and you've run 3-4 miles without even knowing it! What a great way to trick your mind into a healthy body!
