World Gym Kitchener

Lowest price around with no compromise on equipment and cleanliness of the facility. You can't go wrong. It's a serious gym for a serious workout.

This gym is like an old baseball glove or pair of sneakers - it works and might be comfortable, but newer and better options exist. Equipment is decent and the people who work out here are serious about results. The upstairs smells right at the top of the stairs and the staff can be aloof. I have yet to have a positive experience with droping my kids off to the childcare (I'm go to Cambridge or Waterloo with them instead), but hopefully others have a better experience with it. Wish it was better since this is the closest one to my place.

Have been going here for years. The business model they have now is to get as many clients as possible at a really cheap price but the place is falling apart. Parking is impossible after 4 pm, the equipment is not in great shape and the showers are disgusting. It`s a shame because when it was Popeye`s it was a great gym.

They have incredibly poor management and untrained staff - they will give you the runaround when you try to cancel your membership. My brother has a membership with world gym with my credit card as payment. He wanted to cancel it so he showed up and the person at the front desk said he had to come in while a supervisor was working between Monday-Friday before a certain time. Which means it's impossible for him to cancel if he's only off on Sundays. He has even called and they told him that as well. So I called in to ask since I'm paying for the membership if I could come in to cancel on his behalf and how inconvenient it was for my brother to come in during supervisors only. Was told it was fine, so I bussed across town and came in only to be told that NO I can't do it, and that yes he can come in anytime to cancel WITHOUT a supervisor at anytime and that he has to be present. And for some reason I can't just prepay any remaining months on the contract to have it closed off. So not only has my brother shown up and was rejected, I have been rejected. The staff needs proper training or if they don't know something they should ask before giving out false information to two people. I'm just left with wasted time and money. Luckily I never had to workout here.

Good overall gym if your looking for the raw type off weight lifting facility, the Kitchener location is by far better then the Cambridge and Waterloo locations. It doesn't feel or look like a recreational gym for casuals and new individual's to the fitness world, as an experienced lifter I would recommend this gym for anyone seriously pursuing bodybuilding.
