commercial gyms

Do any good weightlifters these days train at a commercial gym like Bally's or 24 Hour Fitness (apparently the official gym of USAW lol) or Gold's? I was traveling and went to a Gold's once. This particular gym only had oversized bars with NO spin that felt 1.25x the diameter of a standard 28mm bar. I'm just wondering how feasible it is to train at these places as a serious weightlifter.
