Unbelievably great gym! I'm from Portland OR so I'm bummed that it's not in Portland. The equipment is amazing and well maintained. At one point I was looking for a piece of equipment and I asked a member and they were super nice. Seems like people knew each other and were rooting each other on. motivation Is everywhere just look at the wall, awesome posters. I really think you can judge a gym by how high the dumbbells go their's goes up to 150. They have a protein shake bar! If there were more stars I'd give it more. If you're on vacation like me in palm springs you got to check this place out. It reminds me of the mecca.

Huge gym, large range of kit and equipment, some of it aging but still functional. Really friendly staff and members. Thoroughly enjoyed my daily visits and catch ups with members I got to know when working out here.

It’s true that the gym is kind of shabby but it has a lot of equipment and the people who work there as well as the patrons are a pretty nice crew.

Great community gym. Lots of friendly people as members. The staff is friendly too! One negative is age of some of the equipment. While well maintained it would be nice to see one or two new pieces here and there.

If you looking for gym to exercise DO NOT Come Here It’s not worth the $550 a year, place is dirty old matching (( like really old it’s made by welding metal )) always broken and if you talk to the front they will say the Owner don’t care we can’t help with anything, hazard cable everywhere, and fans because the AC not cooling. Watch the video and see how the machine is squeaking never been maintain , and sometimes they turn most of the light off to save on energy . so if you’re looking for a place to exercise forget about this place and find another place.Good luck ?

I recently visited World Gym to work out, and while there were some positive aspects, there were also some significant drawbacks that left me feeling quite conflicted about my experience there.Starting with the positives, I must say that the gym's air conditioning was exceptional. With the intensity of the workouts, it was a relief to have a comfortable environment to exercise in. Additionally, the presence of multiple TVs throughout the gym provided some entertainment and distraction during my workouts, which was a nice touch. Furthermore, it was heartening to see friendly and supportive people working out alongside me, creating a welcoming atmosphere for new members.However, my overall impression was dampened by several disheartening experiences. First and foremost, the rude behavior of some staff members was a significant concern. As a customer, I expect to be treated with respect and courtesy, and unfortunately, this was not consistently the case during my visit. Rude staff can create a negative atmosphere and impact one's motivation to return to the gym.Another serious concern was the gym's apparent lack of LGBTQ+ friendliness. I am deeply saddened to hear about your transgender daughter being singled out. Discrimination and intolerance have no place in any establishment, especially not in a gym, which should be an inclusive and safe space for everyone. It is crucial for gyms to foster an environment of acceptance and diversity, where all individuals can feel comfortable and free from judgment.Additionally, cleanliness is paramount in a gym setting, considering the high foot traffic and shared equipment. Unfortunately, it appears that World Gym fell short in this regard as well. A clean and well-maintained gym is not only essential for health and hygiene but also contributes to an overall positive workout experience.Despite these drawbacks, I can understand your hesitation in giving the gym a second chance. It is commendable that you are willing to consider this option, hoping that your daughter can have a more positive experience in the future. I would encourage you to share your concerns directly with the gym management so that they can be made aware of the issues and have an opportunity to address them.In conclusion, World Gym showed promise with its excellent AC, entertainment options, and friendly members. However, the negative experiences with rude staff, lack of LGBTQ+ friendliness, and cleanliness issues were deeply concerning. I hope that by expressing your concerns, the gym can take steps towards becoming a more inclusive and welcoming place for all members, including your transgender daughter.

The staff is great. Very friendly and give off nice energy. People of all sorts so there is no judgement here. More of an older gym feel (which I like) however, some machines need fixing. But overall love this gym

This gym has the potential to be a bodybuilding mecca, like Golds Venice Beach. Instead, the owners severely neglect it, leaving equipment broken for months on end (sometimes surpassing a year). They also own the testosterone clinic next door, which is their real cash cow, so they don't care to maintain nor invest in World Gym, even though the membership is $50 a month. Today a customer lost consciousness from an apparent heart issue, and when good Samaritans tried to resuscitate him, they couldn't because the gym's AED device had expired in 2017 (picture attached). Thank god he lived -- but at no help from the owners of World Gym.

My partner and I "wintered" for a month in Palm Springs and I chose to get my workout fix at World Gym and was so glad I did. The guys that work there are incredible and super friendly. I signed up for a monthly membership and they made me feel like a true local.The clientele is very friendly as well. It's not a fancy gym but I went in, did my thing, and headed back home. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Palm Springs. Thanks to Steven and all the rest of the guys at the front desk!
