Day 569: Shredding At Gold's Gym, South Beach

G’day Shredders,

Today was my first full day in Miami and I was determined to make the most of it by going for a morning run along South Beach (SoBe to the locals), but there was just one problem…It was raining cats and dogs!

Raining Cats & Dogs!

Thats right! About 5 minutes after I hit the beach trail I got absolutely pummeled as the heavens opened up in a big way!

Once the rain let up a little about 20 minutes later I decided to make a run for it back to the hotel. I got the gym key from the front desk and scooted over to 6-Tatami Mat Hotel Gym (Japanese for very small!) and completed my steady-state cardio workout on the treadmill.

Gold’s Gym, South Beach: RTP Review

After an awesome late lunch at a hip new salad restaurant called Giardino Gourmet Salad I made the pilgrimage to the one and only Gold’s Gym South Beach. 

I really enjoyed my upper body workout at this Gold’s Gym. While the range of free weight and machine equipment does not rival the Mecca of East Coast Bodybuilding - Strong & Shapely in New Jersey – there were still a lot more “toys” than the usual gym I see in Japan.

The gym itself has 3 floors with free weights & machines on the ground floor, cardio on the second floor and aerobics studio on the third floor. The gym really is a sight to behold and easily the best gym in SoBe.

Live Pics From Gold’s Gym, SoBe 

I would love to show you pics from inside the gym but the staff would not allow that because “there are many high profile people in the gym who do not want to be filmed”! 

However, one staff member was kind enough to take a pic of me outside the gym. Check them out below!

Until tomorrow…

Eat Clean, Shred Hard, Think BIG!
