Negative experience: My only complaint is that the wi-fi doesn’t work peak hours when a lot of people are at the gym ..

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, nice layout, good music at good volume.

Positive experience: Big old school gay gym

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Steel Gym is the best gym in Palm Springs for gay men. The main room is clean, not loud, plates and weights are put in place (unlike eos). I never have to wait as there is plenty for each muscle group. Most of the members are 50+, but there are some younger men and women. No pool, no spa, but segregated steam and sauna.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and equipments are well maintained (some of the equipments are old but in good working conditions)

Positive experience: 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.

Positive experience: Long-term local members. Reflective of Palm Springs with majority gay crowd, diverse and welcoming of everyone kind.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Stopped in this place fist day of a 5 day stay. They have day fee and a full week fee. Everything you need to get a good workout.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym

Fantastic experience: Love this place

Positive experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic customer service honestly so clean everyone's great and polite.

Negative experience: 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

Fantastic experience: It was great experience the gym is nice full of machines and equipment.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Palms Springs area best people, bathrooms are clean and the atmosphere is nice zumba classes are amazing, and they have this classes Monday trough Friday in the mornings equipment is good.

Fantastic experience: Everything you could possibly want in a gym in Palm Springs, INCLUDING all of the gorgeous men!!!

Negative experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, very gay. Nice feeling, very friendly people

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, clean overall, my morning visit was pleasant and enjoyable. Will absolutely come back. Thank you ~ r ~

Positive experience: Great gym with tons of equipment. A bodybuilders gym - low frills yet perfect for weightlifting and cardio.

Fantastic experience: Nice and friendly staff plus the gym is well equipped.

Fantastic experience: Greatest gym I ever trained at. Nice staff good merchandise.

Fantastic experience: 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

Fantastic experience: Nice, clean and friendly staff. All spray bottles of cleaner were filled and paper towels stocked.

Negative experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: Great gym great equipment great staff

Negative experience: After being with the gym for almost 10 months, it’s time to say goodbye. Sadly it wasn’t really a pleasant experience despite the fact that most of the staff is friendly and helpful. Occasionally you’ll see one or two unfriendly muscle bears who think they are superior to everyone. But that’s everywhere you go, right? The issues with the gym are pretty much the same as what other low rating reviews have stated: Old broken equipment, dingy facility, non functional ACs, and persistent moldy sweaty smell in the locker room. On top of those, some really rude trainers who lead group classes. Particularly this one tall bald muscle Mary, who raged out at me because I walked into a “group session” mistakenly when I was looking for a spin bike. Side note, there were none on the gym floor, they were all in the “group fitness room”. I apologized to the trainer and said sorry I didn’t know I couldn’t be there because of the class. He threw a tantrum and hissed “well it’s posted on the door”. I was like, dude chill out, I will just walk out. He could’ve been more polite but who knows, maybe he hates his job. Otherwise, it can be hard to find parking during peak hours. Oh and be careful to open your car door when it’s windy because you could easily park next to a Lamborghini or a Bentley.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with excellent machines, and super helpful staff. Very gay friendly.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: Recently visited the PS area and found my fitness needs met by World Gym. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as well as members were welcoming. Nicely sized facility with a variety of equipment. Will most definitely return!

Negative experience: Steam room out of order alot.

Fantastic experience: Great, old school gym

Fantastic experience: Clean, popular, staffed with wonderful, helpful people.

Fantastic experience: I only called so far. Very helpful on phone about getting a senior membership

Fantastic experience: I feel like I have to leave a review after seeing some of the lower star reviews recently. Gym was clean. Staff was friendly. There were a couple machines that were down, however there were other similar ones available. It’s not like every leg curl was broken. I imagine there isn’t a gym equipment company near by to fix it so it probably takes awhile to get fixed. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, they couple try to fix it themselves and someone could end up injured. The equipment is older. It’s also some of the highest desired equipment by collectors and fitness enthusiasts. It’s some of the best equipment you can find. Nautilus XPLODE row, chest and shoulder press with a lot of Icarian and Hammer Strength as well, with an Icarian standing side lateral. Decent amount of free weights and benches as well. I’m from Ohio, workout at a lot of gyms across the country and this one had some of the best old school equipment you can find.

Fantastic experience: Great so far! Love how it isn't overly packed and the sense of belonging they garner!

Fantastic experience: Great equipment!

Fantastic experience: Glad we could get in a work out while on vacay. Sexy, kind and helpful crew. Even spotted celebrities here! Nearly 50 years in PSP. Day passes available. Be sure to get a T-shirt! ️️‍ Hot Daddies abound!

Fantastic experience: i worked out in gym's allover the world ...this gym is THE BEST GYM I HAVE EVER HAD A WORKOUT AT.

Fantastic experience: You'll love it.

Negative experience: It used to well maintained and clean. Lately equipt has not been serviced half the time the showers or sauna are not working and the overall condition is really dirty.The staff is friendly and it is close so I continue but it is really disappointing to see the decline

Fantastic experience: Nice gym has anything you could need to wprkout, friendly staff.

Positive experience: This gym is a PS staple. It’s generally pretty clean. Staff is friendly and helpful, and there’s a bar with consumables for pre and post workout. Plenty of space and varied equipment. Day passes are kinda pricey. ($20.)

Fantastic experience: Great friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Good gym, friendly staff, clientele is positive and will help others if asked. Equipment is reliable but they need to start swapping out the older equipment with newer leased equipment... Definitely will get their money's worth out of newer fitness equipment.

Fantastic experience: Very nice machines

Fantastic experience: Well equipped local gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym love the protein shakes great job

Fantastic experience: Awesome place

Negative experience: The staff was always friendly and professional with me. Most of the patrons were pretty friendly. You'd run into the occasional douchebag patron who is a little pushy or who works out right in front of the dumbbell rack blocking others access to the dumbbells themselves. But that's rare and every gym seems to have those types of people. So I'm not holding that against the gym. My gripe with the gym has to do with the fact that most of the equipment is terribly outdated and it needs a thorough overhaul. Some of the machines and equipment simply aren't ergonomic. Many of the numbers on the plates for cabled weights and machines that you use a pin to hold the stacked plates in place are missing. In other words, you don't know how much weight you're lifting. It's getting to look rundown. The ceiling and walls look so dingy. A fresh coat a paint everywhere would really improve the atmosphere. I remember in my mid thirties when I didn't live here and was vacationing in the area. I trained at this gym back then during my short trip to the area. Now, twenty years later after moving here and joining the facility I clearly recall the same equipment that they had two decades ago. And even back then it was a bit dated but at least it was in better shape than it is today. The portable folding floor mats are ragged and have rips and tears in them. As as others have mentioned, sometimes a piece of equipment is out of order for quite a while. There are areas in the center of the floor where they have polished concrete floors. I guess this is supposed to be cool and sexy. But there is a lot of gym equipment in this area that is free-weight plate loaded. Having concrete floors in an area where 25lb and 45lb metal plates can come smashing down on them could pose a safety hazard. It should all be covered with rubber gym flooring. The toilets and locker room area are grimy looking. Overall it's functional but it doesn't appear to be very clean. Not one member I personally know is happy with the facility and they all complain about the very same things I've mentioned here. Yet they continue to patronize this establishment. They prices have continued to go up yet no improvements are ever made. So I chose not to stay and moved on.

Fantastic experience: Grande salle avec tous les équipements de musculation possible, grand coin cardio, piste d athlétisme au milieu de la salle, ambiance sympa, bien climatisée. Important la clim a Palm Springs!

Positive experience: Ok

Positive experience: Decent gym. Most of the equipment works most of the time. Kinda wish they had more classes in the evening, but that's pretty typical of the Palm Springs area.

Fantastic experience: A great gym for a great workput. Has everything you could possibly ever need. Staff is amazing and friendly and courteous, not too mention hunky and gorgeous

Negative experience: Disappointing. During entrance we were told you have to be 18 years to uae the gym. I did not find this on the website anywhere.

Positive experience: Overall decent gym. Nice variety of equipment. Only two complaints is lack of Air Conditioning and cardio machines seem to be from 1986.

Fantastic experience: A great gym for a great workput. Has everything you could possibly ever need. Staff is amazing and friendly and courteous, not too mention hunky and gorgeous

Fantastic experience: They have everything and then some. Multi sets of free weights, tons of cardio and weight machines!

Negative experience: I pay premium prices for a budget experience. Broken machines that stay broken. Update: still broken! I won't renew.

Positive experience: Front staff was friendly, the gym has plenty of workout choices. Bathrooms are clean. If they had a lap pool it would be a complete gym, but what they do have is serious for working out.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Day passes for out of towners and good assortment of equipment.

Negative experience: After more than 6 months at this gym and an initial review of 4 stars, I have to downgrade it to 2 stars. As others have recently noted, the gym is very run down. It increasingly looks and feels dingy; the AC barely works; things are constantly broken. For example, for most of the past few months, literally half of the private shower stalls were taped off for some kind of repair. Eventually one by one, each re-opened months later. Now the opposite side (all 3) are closed. The steam-room breaks every few days. Many of the plates on gym equipment stick or are unlabeled. It's sad. There just isn't enough competition (yet) from other gyms for the ownership to do anything about it. More and more small training studios are opening and I suspect some membership with leave for smaller more modern gyms. I really wish they'd invest some money. As I previously said, I'd gladly pay a little more each month for some improvement. ORIGINAL REVIEW APRIL 2022:Have I been to nicer, fancier gyms? Sure? But World Gym gets the job done. The equipment isn't as bad as some make it out to be: they have Nautilus, Cybex, and an assortment of free weights of course. Most function well, though, sure, a gradual upgrade would be nice. The staff are consistently very friendly and helpful, and one of the reasons for my 4-star review. I would gladly pay a little more for a few details that would make the experience that much better: replace the towels more frequently (they are often pretty worn and often run out) and please run the AC at a lower temp. Today it was 90 outside when I arrived and the front door was open with the AC off. It gets pretty hot and stuffy in there. Otherwise, it's great.

Positive experience: Busy place, equipment is kept in good condition, people and staff friendly. Great gym overall

Positive experience: Nice, large facility. Looks very clean. Big locker room with clean shower, steam, sauna. Loads of equipment, lots of space. Friendly staff and well stocked refreshments bar.

Positive experience: Decent gym for a good workout and for some eye candy although very old run down equipment and dirty locker rooms and steam/sauna/shower area. I will definitely go back since it’s a pretty friendly and social environment.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. Omg hot dudes and VPL everywhere. I might stay here all day

Positive experience: The machines are great. Dumbells go up to 150lbs. Their shop has good merchandise with the original gorilla logo. The framed pictures hanging are throwbacks to the start of the Golden age of bodybuilding. The only thing is, if you have a problem with alternative lifestyles, then avoid this gym

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, plenty of equipment and the staff are so helpful. Purchased a 10 visit pass for me and my partner for our vacation and was straight forward to use.

Fantastic experience: I really like this place. Not fancy, down to earth. Go in, get your sh%$ done and a smile on the way out.

Fantastic experience: Good gym, staff is helpful and friendly. lots of stations for sanitizing equipment before use. Felt very safe

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff with Great trainers. Smoothie bar and a great selection of machines and free weights.

Fantastic experience: World's is a fantastic gym with a great selection of free weights and machines. I wish they were open a few more hours in the evenings, especially on the weekend when they currently close at 8pm. Other than that, in over the last 35 years that I've been working out in gyms, Worlds is one of the better gyms, if not the best, in which I've had membership.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, full equipment and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Literally nobody here trains legs by the looks of things tho.

Fantastic experience: Love the staff and crowd and solid facility and health drink bar

Fantastic experience: Just recently joined and I’m happy I did. It’s more expensive then other gyms but in return it’s FAR LESS crowded and that in itself is priceless.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and plenty of space. A very friendly gym.

Fantastic experience: Very well equipped and nicely layed out, definitely a great place to get pumped!
