Around here, we think of Gold’s Gym as a fitness center tucked in the corner of a shopping center like Willow Lawn or created to fit in an older building like the one in the Fan.

Free to a good home: a good home. Three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 1,900-square-foot frame rancher with vinyl siding. Hardwood floors throughout, a nearly new roof, new replacement windows and more.
