This gym is the best gym within Smyrna that has everything. When I say everything, that includes Les Mills classes! No other gyms offered it at the time so I was sold! I went for about a month out of my year contract before I found out I was leaving to go overseas for my company. I went in and ask if I could cut the contract but they stated I would have to pay the full year. I asked if they had a holding/freeze option, and they did. So I asked them to freeze my membership until I could come back. (Mind you with this option, you still pay a fee) I was gone no longer than a few weeks when I found I was pregnant. So I came back to Atlanta to prepare. I knew I had atleast three months before my holding period was up so I figured I had enough T time to get through the tough (sick parts) of pregnancy, then perhaps I would feel better and would be able to use my membership! Well that day never came. I became very ill and lost over 20 lbs due to the fact we were expecting twins. So naturally I was put on bed rest. I called the gym and explained my situation. Again, was told I could only freeze my account and then it would automatically go back to full payments after 3 months. There was zero way to cancel without being out all this money. I now have paid for a full year of a membership, and then some, for a gym I set foot in probably 10 times. Is World Gym so hard up for money that they cant make a judgement call on specific situations such as mine? Like I said, love this gym. Just wished out of all the $$ I spent I could have used it.

Absolutely love this gym! It has some many different options for working out! The new equipment in Boxing/Functional Train studio is a great addition. The Battling Ropes are 50 ft and they have an 1 1/2" as well as a 2" for those that want to go hard. There is a new Striking Bag for the Mixed Martial Artists and Maui Thay Bag also. And the new HD projector in the Cardio Movie Theatre is amazing. Great for someone like me that hates cardio because the movies are pretty new and a lot of high adrenaline flicks to make me work harder. The picture really draws you in and they have 45 different pieces of cardio in there!. There is a stand-alone Yoga studio where use Eucalyptus oils that make it smell amazing and really relaxes you even if you are just going in there just to stretch out. The best part is that I never have to wait on any Free Weight equipment no matter what time I show up! 6pm and no line waiting for a bench on Monday is more than worth the price of admission!!! I would definitely recommend this gym to my friends and family!

Very unfriendly staff (very arrogant manager), and unwilling to work with members. Ive had the worst experience with customer service, its all about money. I had my husbands car with his card on keys and even though we are on the same membership, I had my ID and my picture with all my information in front of them on the computer screen, I could not get in unless I would pay $15 for an "extra" card, later I found out that a new card only costs $5. They would rather get your membership canceled than work with you, no respect with customers at all, very rude!!! I am 2 miles from this gym, but will drive 10 to be treated with respect and be in a better atmosphere. Ive been a member with my husband for over 3 years and didnt go for 2, and was just trying to get back. A lot money lost! In conclusion, the gym is clean, convenient location, but not worth going there. You will be treated like theyre doing you a big favor having you as a member. Stay away!!!!!!

I have been a member here for almost 9 months now and it is hands better than any of the other gyms in the area! The price point is about $10 more per month but I think the amenities more than make up for the cost! There is NEVER wait to use any equipment (and no one needs another excuse to miss a workout) because there are more than enough benches and dumbbells to accommodate "International Chest Day" (Mondays)! And their dumbbells go up to 150 lbs!!! The Boxing/Functional Room is getting very popular with a new Striking Dummy Bag and New Slam/Wall Balls. They also have TWO 50 battling ropes. But the movie theatre is by far the best feature if you hate to do cardio. And they just got a new HD projector! The picture is awesome now! There are some things that need updating and fixing but compared to every other gym that I had tried before joining here, World Gym was the right choice for me.

Simply put...You get what you pay for. Membership is ~$45, but its soooo worth it! Ive been a member since April 13. I have only been in the gym at 6-7am and 8-11pm on weekdays and all times on weekends. They do get pretty busy on Saturday/Sunday around 8-10am. Even in their busy times, Ive never had to wait to use a piece of equipment. Here are the things I really love about this gym, besides the friendly staff and clean atmosphere: - Cardio Theater (stationary bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, and BIG OLE FANS!) - Plenty of dumbbells (weights as low as 2lbs and as high as 150?) - Quality equipment (Hammer Strength, Life Fitness) - Awesome classes with really motivated instructors - Machines, sometimes 2 of the same machine

Staff is friendly and there is a good balance of equipment. I do find it disappointing that the padding on equipment is ripped and not replaced. Some of it has been this way since i joined several months ago so there has been ample time to fix it. Same goes for the rubber gripping on several pieces of equipment that are torn or missing. These are small and relatively inexpensive fixes and should be addressed. I left Planet Fitness where I was only paying $15 per month and now pay $45 at World Gym but I have to tell you PF kept their equipment impeccable and Worlds Gym should do the same. Im willing to pay more but I expect better equipment maintenance and upkeep.

So far, so good! I just signed up for this gym after moving to Atlanta about a month ago and have no complaints thus far! Ive never had any issue with it being too busy in accessing whichever machines or benches I require per my daily workout and the staff is all very friendly. I also love that theres a basketball court and the movie theater helps provide a distraction when forcing myself to do cardio. Theres even a military rate for the month-to-month plan I have! The only thing that would be a little nicer was if they were open later on Fridays and Saturdays but I tend to work out in the morning usually so its not a huge deal. Two thumbs up! :)

I have to agree with everyone else with the manager, he is so rude, he doesnt talk to anyone unless you are a blond female with a pretty body, everyone hate him but I guess if you have a contract you dont have a choice, for him it is all about the money and dont want to work with you, like another person said, he feels like he is doing u a favor by letting you use the equipment, stupid jerk. I love people at the front desk and people in general, very friendly, its a shame that the owner is such a jerk, I would cancel my membership just for him,
