This place is not maintained as well as one would hope from a gym with a $50/month membership. Very friendly staff and members, though.

Not the best but certainly not the worst. I like it because it's big and you don't have to wait for any machine or bench. People are generally friendly.

I love this gym, every time I come to the desert I have to work out here, everybody is do nice! I like working out here because I feel motivated by watching everybody with nice bodies and it pushes me to do more and better. I can be a bit intimidating and entertaining too though, because everybody, especially the trainers look like models! ;-) More...

I was the first person to enter world gym. They have great people behind the desk. This is a world class gym. The yoga, spin, and about classes, to name a few, are the best.

Great workout! Well equipped gym and classes. If you want a great hour long workout, try Ian's classes; includes core workout.

Nice clean place, friendly with a good variety of equipment. They could stand to replace some of the older stationary bikes, but there were newer ones as well

It may not be the most up to date, but it's the gayist gym west of the. Mississippi

It's important to keep in mind the setting: This is Palm Springs, and Palm Springs has a long and storied history of shallow physical vacuousness, cruel standards of beauty, and look-ism. We're fun that way.The pressure to look good is enormous. This is a place where people come to show off their plastic surgeries, work on their tan lines, and have sex -- we've been having sex for years here in Palm Springs, you should try it. But first, go the World Gym and maybe take a cycle class. I'm just suggesting.It must be tough to run World Gym in a town filled with oodles of rich people who have their very own full-stocked gymnasiums at home, staffed with personal trainers, dieticians and people paid just to say "you look great!" over and over -- but that might actually be why World Gym has remained so consistently terrific for all these years. It's always clean; the machines and equipment are always attended to and always work; the classes are full without being cut-throat. It's a well-run machine staff by a group of people who by now have become -- there's no other word for it, I'm sorry -- beloved by visitors and locals alike.It's important to know what to expect. If you are visiting Palm Springs, you may not be used to seeing old people who are sexy and can kick your ass; you might be laugh at that 74-year-old guy in the short-shorts until you realize he looks hotter in them than you ever could. It's generally busy from the minute they open until they close, but never so much to annoy or cause a murderous rage -- a good thing, given how many of the members are taking testosterone. There are subtleties to be discerned if you keep your eyes open: Does everyone look like Rachel Maddow? It must be Dinah Shore Weekend. I have a friend who can tell you everything about the current state of gay porn just from observing the Saturday morning Zumba class. There is a core group of trainers who work out of World Gym as independent contractors, not for the gym as employees; each has his or her own training and techniques, but they are all certified, insured and quite busy. It shouldn't need pointing out that any trainer who can swing it in an atmosphere like Palm Springs is already better than 90% of his or her peers found elsewhere: these are people who promise results and deliver.Finally, know that you can be comfortable here if you are older, female, gay, and even -- yes! -- fat. If you are the kind of person who feels inexplicably drawn to the gym when you are on vacation, you'll feel welcome. If you've just moved here and need a quick primer on being a local and feeling like you belong, mention my name because I get a free month for referring you. And remember -- keep it shallow, cupcake.

I dropped my $10 EOS membership in favor of $45 membership here and never once regretted it. No children, no teenagers, no perfume, never have to wait on equipment and I can always find parking. The members, staff and trainers are nicer. The ventilation and locker rooms need a serious overhaul, but a small price to pay not to have to deal with the attitude of EOS members and it's over crowding. More...
