“Exercise is good to keep your body healthy, to prolong your life, and keep you happier, and we can help you pave the way toward good health at Gold’s Gym Saipan,” Jackie Van Dam, the new general manager said.
With the largest array of cardio equipment and programs such as free and universal weights and group exercise classes, Van Dam said Gold’s Gym is the place to meet the fitness goals of each individual.
“If you want to walk, you can try the treadmill. If you want you dance, build muscles and workout, we have certified personal training programs that fit every lifestyle,” Van Dam said.
The regular group exercises at Gold’s Gym include Spin Bike where participants can spin at a more relaxed pace and get a challenging cardio workout while having fun, Tai-Chi or graceful, meditative poses to reduce stress; Pilates, Body Pump, Body Step, Dance Fusion, and Yoga.
Nutritious workout shakes
Quenching your thirst with workout shakes and munching on healthy snacks after a workout is recommended by the Gold’s Gym trainers.
Go for the Lean MR Vanilla or chocolate meal replacement with 8 ounces of skim milk is a highly satisfying, nutrient dense meal replacement with fewer calories to support weight loss. The Fit pre/post vanilla or chocolate meal with 8 ounce of skim milk contains ideal ratio of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to enhance your performance and recovery. The Max, a first string vanilla or chocolate meal replacement with 8 ounces of water is high in calories, carbohydrates and proteins and will help you pack on some serious mass.
The Shake Bar Menu right inside Gold’s Gym serves specialty smoothies for individuals who want to keep fit and lose weight.
Try the Banana Split — a heavenly concoction of Whey Smooth, milk, strawberry, banana and pineapple; or the strawberry chocolate blast. You can also try the Pina Colada, a delicious blend of Whey Smooth Vanilla, pineapple, banana, coconut, and milk; or the Coffee Mudslide which is a delightful mix of two scoops pre/post, a shot of espresso and 8 ounce milk. You can also go for the Peanut Butter Dream, Mango smoothie, and the Soy Dream.
Are you into serious muscle building? Then go for the extreme smoothies such as the No Blast which contains a scoop of NO7 Rage for those under 200 lbs., and two scoops for those over 200 lbs. Other choices are the Max Blast which contains two scoops of Whey Smooth and milk, and the Power Blast which contains two scoops of Whey Smooth, a scoop of L-Glutamine and milk. A cool glass of the work-out shakes are from $4 to $5.
The Shake Bar is an ideal place to cool down or relax after a workout, with its cool and homey ambiance, comfortable bar stools and sofa sets for those who want total relaxation.
Located next to Sugar King Park in Garapan, Gold’s Gym Saipan is open daily and caters to an average of 150 to 200 clients a day.
Van Dam said Gold’s Gym is offering a 50 percent off in its enrollment fee, discounts for individuals aged 55 and up, and two months free for yearly membership fees paid in full. Passes are also available for individuals who just want to join certain classes for a minimal fee.
