Rim of the World Fitness

Positive experience: Gym stinks, dirty/ broken equipment, never any soap in the bathroom.

Fantastic experience: I went up for several days for New Year’s and was looking for a gym. Rim was great little gym that had everything I needed for a great workout. Hans was great at setting me up and it also was a friendly workout environment. I would definitely go back and recommend it to others

Fantastic experience: I was visiting Lake Gregory for Thanksgiving and looking for a gym to go to burn off those turkey calories. I stumbled upon Rim of the World Gym. The gym was great. It is small but has everything I needed to work out all body parts with heavy a** weight. If I lived close by I would go every day to lift, "Yeah buddy". Hans was very friendly and set me up with easy access to the gym. Don't listen to the bad reviews. If you are a serious lifter, you will like it.

Negative experience: The owner of this gym took money out of my account by accident 3 times and screwed up my bank account. When I ask for my money back he never showed up to meet with me. I never received the money back and quit. They don’t allow the curtains to be open so it’s very claustrophobic. I would work out around 9pm and always seem to run into a group of young men that used it for a hangout. I felt very uncomfortable being in a room with about 7 young men that just used it as a meet up place. Not recommended if you’re a woman who goes alone. Not recommended if you don’t want them taking money out of your account even though it was their fault. I gave it 2 stars because they did have good hours and for the most part the machines worked

Negative experience: Gym is terrible, waited months for a heater and we were working out without a heater. Be ready to workout in a room 45-50 degrees. Paid in full for one year and only went for 3 months, it’s that bad. The guy obviously does not care for the gym and is cheaping out his business to maximize profit

Negative experience: Is this gym still open? Nobody answers the phone, I've called over 20 times at different times on different days for 2 weeks. How do you sign up if there is no website or anybody to speak to? I can only imagine what canceling or the gym atmopshere/repairs or cleaning is like if you can t even answer a phone. I expected better for the location, this is a community, do better.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great! Hans is by far the most friendly, caring gym owner I’ve ever met! This is the place to lift if you’re in town like we were!

Negative experience: Where to even start… Pros: - rarely busy, come at a good time and it’s even empty - central location with decent parking - no weirdos, only nice people, including the main staff guy I’m sorry forget your name - has more or less all you need to work out - basically open 24/7 Cons: - if death metal is playing on the radio it will blast through your noise cancelling headphones - depressing atmosphere, no TVs, not allowed to open the blinds - roof leaking in winter (but think they fixed it) - cleanliness is concerning. gym is cleaned once a month at best, nobody wipes down equipment, and no paper towels just rags to wipe machines that don’t get washed - water machine always broken so have to buy their 3$ water - no lockers, just cubbies, but always been super safe - can’t touch the lights, second room they’re automatic so they turn off sometimes mid workout - price of essentially 80$ a month is painful for what you get. no showers and just one toilet with no paper towels - equipment is never inspected, lots are rusted (eg weights and lat pulldown), lots are broken and weren’t fixed during the many months I’ve been going. genuine safety concern - no AC just some ceiling fans so summer is super smelly, sweaty, and hard to breathe - signing up here felt like a burden cause they kept rescheduling our visit - sketchy they only take cash and second + third time I paid no receipt Only place in Crestline to workout until they open that altitude gym, so if you need exercise beyond running the lake, it definitely fits the bill and you’ll get your workout done no problem. Perhaps this is hearsay but everyone in town talks down about this place and the owner. Him, his wife, and daughter are always nice to me. Unfortunately, gotta leave an honest review

Negative experience: The old owner, Jim was very helpful and friendly. The gym was clean and not crowded. Plenty of equipment and the month to month fee is very affordable. Alot has changed.

Fantastic experience: Amazing little gym has everything you need for a great workout. I’ve been a member for months now and have had no issues. I’m not sure why so many bad reviews about cleanliness? There’s disinfectant spray on both ends of the gym. As members clean up after yourself. I have nothing but great things to say about the owners! Great customer service, available to answer any questions I may have about the equipment available. Equipment works fine and gets the job done. I love the privacy and all the extras provided. If you want a place to hang out, this is not it but if you’re a real gym goer this is perfect place for you.

Negative experience: Shady new owners came and ruined the place Edit; hello gym owners you don’t have to know me lol I have in fact been to every place I reviewed. You bought the place and took all the good equipment away and it no longer became a good place for people who wanted to work out. Insulting someone because you can’t track them in your system says a lot about your business practices.

Fantastic experience: So many stars. I tried to get a better shot.

Negative experience: Never used this place.

Negative experience: Seriously the worst gym I have ever been to. The area is not cleaned at all. Some of the equipment doesn’t work. The owner is very shady. Good luck cancelling your membership once you enroll. Took me 6 months… Edit for the reply: I was told when I was enrolling that I would be able to pause my membership for two months because I was going to be traveling. I was guaranteed that it would be possible. Well it never happened. Since the terms of our agreement was not hold by Hans when I returned I wanted to cancel my membership. I was told that it is not possible and I KEPT my membership for 6 months and wanted to terminate it when the time was up. It took two more months to be able to cancel the membership. My phones were never answered. Messages never answered. Had to put a block through my bank account. I can post the communication here because I was on the verge of going to small claims court over it.

Negative experience: Dirty gym. I tried to cancel a month after joining naturally wouldn't be let out of contract despite still being on lock down for covid. Then after being advised by a lawyer to pay out contract then sue after. I paid out contract not worth it to sue . canceled called left messages to cancel texted the owner and they won't cancel me and are now trying to go after for more money. DO NOT TRUST.

Negative experience: Seems it's closed, tried to get a membership well over a year ago, got the guy on the phone and no follow up, Too bad because they would have had a captive local group using it. Also it has no windows which made me very suspicious. Just another failed business but really, let someone know if it's closed forever via the CofC a sign on the doors. Or sell it to someone that knows how to make it work

Fantastic experience: Hans is a great guy. The gym has everything I need and the equipment is newer. Opens early and closes late. I can appreciate just having this access in Crestline.

Negative experience: I am unable to access entrance to the gym. I spoke to Hans who said he would take care of it last week. This morning I still do not have access. Please resolve this problem today!!

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve been too. I vacationed in Crestline for a couple of days and was able to get a week pass at a reasonable price for it being the only gym in the town. All the equipment is pretty new and up to date. It is well sanitized and Covid-19 precautions are in place. The owner Hans is a nice and professional guy. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in Crestline and Lake Arrowhead.

Positive experience: how am i able to get a membership at this gym ? ive tried calling and no one answers

Negative experience: The owner is completely dishonest and has THE worst business practices I have ever encountered. Completely disrespectful. He does not conduct the proper maintenance on the equipment and it very obvious from several of the machines, 2 of which were broken the entire year I used the gym. Good luck if you choose this place as your gym, you’re better off getting your own equipment at home.

Positive experience: Nice gym with nice owners. It has what you need to get your swoll on. Not a lot of people standing around socializing. Get in, get out. Hit it and quit it. Results may vary. ;)

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism . AMAZING GYM, AMAZING WORKOUTS! The owners here are incredibly friendly and the equipment is always clean! They know how to push you to the limit in the best way possible with your workouts. You will not leave disappointed! I highly recommend checking this gym out.

Fantastic experience: Excellent personal training. My trainer, Hans, really cares and goes above and beyond to help me achieve my goals. Very knowledgeable. Small and private gym that feels more personal with all the equipment of a large gym. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I am going to RTWF for about a month now. So far great experience. Especially living in the mountains, very convenient to have a gym here. The owner Hans, one of the nicest person you will meet, very sincere and genuine. He is very personable and knowledgable for any questions you will have. Place is always clean and tidy. So far every person I met there who are exercising is also so nice, everyone is friendly and talk to each other unlike in the other big chain gym companies, you feel like you are being a part of a community. And I have everything I need to work out every muscle group in my body. What else I can ask for!!!

Fantastic experience: Walked in one room and saw State of the Art Machines Pre Core Treadmills, Life Fitness Threadmills, PreCore Elipticals Spin Bikes Recumbent bikes, Multiple Machines to work out your Back,Chest,Bicep/Tricep,shoulders and Legs not to mention a second room with Free weight flat benches,dumbell Rack from 5 to 105 lbs dumbbells, Kettle bells,Smith machine,squat rack and over 2,600 lbs of weight I got everything a big box gym has in a boutique still Gym definitely 2 thumbs up

Fantastic experience: Awesome Gym ! Everyone Is very friendly.

Fantastic experience: This is an excellant gym. The owners are very nice, personable and very knowledgeable on instruction on all machines. They have given me the confidence that I can do the exercises on the machines and I can! It is clean and maintained very nicely. The big advantage is it is right here on our mountain.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great trainer, great prices.

Negative experience: DO NOT JOIN! I signed up for a 6 month membership which was to end April 2020. Since the gym has been closed due to COVID I emailed the gym to confirm my membership had been cancelled and also inquired about a credit for the months it was closed. The owner Hans informed me that I had to give a 30 day notice to cancel my 6 month membership. This made no sense and they never gave me a copy of the agreement. If you sign up for a certain time frame it should end when expected with no hidden fees. They are not upfront owners!

Positive experience: ZU,u have
