I've been a member of the Golds in Oakland, CA, for going on six years now. I also have a pretty nice home gym: it's got a power rack, chin/dip unit, and PowerBlock dumbbells that go to 85 pounds each. Have been using the home gym almost exclusively this cycle because I didn't need anything fancy for the basic compounds I focused on. Keeping the membership, though--will be training at the gym a couple days a week during my next cycle.
