I was double charged for months before I caught it and childcare charges were randomly started up again after I hadn’t used this service in over a year. I blocked future charges and when I tried to cancel membership, I was told it wouldn’t be cancelled until I paid the last month so it would just keep building up but that was on me. Long story short, I got an acknowledgement of the money I was over charged and a promise to put a check in the mail. A few months later, I have sent a few reminder emails and received reassurance of the nonexistent check. This has been a rough two years for everyone but to steal money from a family is low. Think twice before trusting this business.

Overpriced especially for the ridiculously short hours. I have never even heard of a gym closing at 8 pm yet alone actually witness it. You condisendingly told another reviewer to find another gym with the same amenities for cheaper. Clearly you havent looked around, many of the gyms here offer more, have better hours, and are cheaper.

The new renovation of the gym is refreshing. Very clean and friendly staff. Ive been going to this gym for years. The equipment is always cleaned and maintained...also, the rates are very reasonable

I would like to sign up there, but for the cheapest plan being over 40$ a month I’m not. You guys should get the hint, (you’re overpricing a little) if you had a base plan for 25$ or 30 I would sign up

I was a member for years when it was World Gym. During COVID I had to cancel my membership. Now that I’m cleared to go back I was told that I can’t get the membership price I previously had. This was disappointing because I was a member of this gym for over 10+ years.

Nice equipment but prices are insanely high. World gym in Leonardtown has $15 a month deal, this place has membership for $40 at the cheapest I think. Way too high for a SOMD gym that has nothing special. If youre gonna pay that much just go to LA fitness in Waldorf

4 stars because I’ve had better wifi at a Cracker Barrel. Great equipment and very clean. Seriously I’ll even pay for better wifi. Can’t listen to music, watch videos while I do cardio, or even call. I have Verizon and still no service in here. Great gym though. Oh well.

This World Gym is now under NEW ownership and NEW management (as of June 2014)! The classes have been revamped entirely and are excellent - Les Mills Body Pump and Body Combat, excellent Yoga and excellent Zumba instructors! An awesome SPIN program. The gym is absolutely clean and fresh! Friendly front desk staff guide you through and welcome you. The Personal Training companies offer excellent training options for those that have special fitness needs or fitness goals! The Alloy training program is a favorite! This place has done a 360-degree turnaround and is the best gym IN TOWN!

Well polished gym with lots to offer any personal with their exercise. The privacy is fit for anyone and for those on the classic heavy side, you will feel right at home.

Customer service training is needed for their assistant manager never a great customer service experience like the rest of the staff. Never greeted just rude and wants you to yell across the desk instead of walk over and ask How can I help you I stop by to ask a few questions while Im in town. First thing she says daycare is close, I wanted to asked a simple question about classes, she hands me the calendar and then says read the back of it. I also wanted to see what offers they provide when you move out of State. But I left with no information and I closed this account last year. So that being said we moved on to another gym, Lifetime treats us with respect and has a amazing spin class. My family and I enjoy our membership here.

I will be filing a sexual harassment, discrimination as well as harassment charge on the general manager Debbie as well as Gordon (an employee) for the severe unprofessional as well as unacceptable behavior they have displayed towards me. Gordon took it upon himself to verbally curse me out in the gym for not hearing him correctly and then proceeded to “kick me out” as well as my husband. Debbie did nothing to resolve the issue but canceled my husbands membership as he was uncomfortable staying there. I stayed at the gym and returned one time to have Gordon and another employee as well as their clients make me uncomfortable and stare me down as well as tell me I couldn’t use a video recorder (when there is no documentation saying this is not allowed). Bottom line, if you want to go to a gym that is ran by individuals who make you feel so uncomfortable you wish you could shrink into the corner and not take care of your concerns then come here, but you can pay a lot less and receive better treatment as well as equipment at quite a few other establishments in the area (which I will be attending). World gym La Plata will be hearing from my attorneys and hopefully once this issue is resolved they will invest in better employee choices.

You pay the premium that great gyms demand but they wont offer a drink bar... they have one but it sits empty. Also, there is a scant amount of free weights that are never organized and always leave you searching. I blame this on management, obviously

I rarely ever use this gym since I am member at Waldorf World Gym. The times I have I had to sign a book and they will call waldorf to verify I am a member.My latest experience will be my last. I entered into the gym. There was no one behind the counter. I could of just walked into the gym but I wanted to go through the proper procedure. I waited at the desk. The young lady was on the phone talking to someone and then got off. They had some free wellness check booth; they are always doing something extra with short staff by the way. two women go to the booth to sign in. She goes over the bootg and starts to serfe the two women. Now let me remind everyone to have me signed in takes about a one minute. As opposed to the 10 minutes she decided to do this side service for these two women. I am pacing back and forth waiting. A man comes into the building through the front door and she stops with the women and asks him: do you need help with something sir?Ok so thats when I decided to leave. I came back in as soon as I left and decided to approach the lady. I had to say excuse me why havent I been serviced yet? I see you ask that man if he needed help. What makes him different from me? She just smirked and asked: Do you need help with something in a sarcastic way. I told her nevermind I am just going to my home gym. I was disgusted. She turns around and goes back to doing the wellness check. I sent a message to the owners and manager but no response yet. And from the reputation of this gym location I dont expect one. I know the reason why I wasnt helped but I be3n use to it my whole life. Even on a supposed MLK day this happened.

Poor customer service, they use a 3rd party for billing after they lie about the agreement at sign up so they dont have to deal with you after the fact. The gym is poorly equipped considering the membership cost and annual fee.

My favorite place to start the day! Staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and personable - even when I arrive at the crack of dawn, barely conscious myself… There is a wide selection of equipment, including ample cardio machines (rowers, treadmills, ellipticals, etc), weight machines, and free weights. I never have to wait for the equipment I desire (well, I might have had to wait a couple minutes ONCE, when I came during peak hours on a Saturday last year, but never since then).They also offer many types of classes - most included free with membership, though a few (such as cardio barr) require a small fee. The space is large and well laid out, leaving plenty of room to maneuver without feeling cramped and running into fellow exercisers. There are plenty of stalls in the womens locker room with three showers (sometimes I do have to wait for these, particularly if I dont finish my workout before 7am) and a sauna (which, admittedly, Ive never used, despite my desire to do so at some point), all typically clean and well stocked.All in all, a fantastic facility for an incredibly affordable price!

The gym is the best in Charels County. I live 5 mins from World Gym Waldorf and I still drove to la plata world gym.The layout out open and well organized. The staff has to be my favorite part though friendly and professional.This gym is the best hands down and puts the others to shame.

This is not one of those hip gyms that people flock to and take photos in these days. This is more the serious type, which I like. I go to this gym because I am serious about staying fit. And I have everything that I need here.

I love World Gym. The location is perfect for me, I stop by, for now, 4 days a week, on my way home. Eventually, I will bump it up to 5 or more days a week. I like the small Womens Only side of the gym, for those of us who arent perfect and cant stand the ones who think they are perfect gawking. I take 2 Zumba classes a week (Robbie is hands down, the best zumba instructor Ive ever worked with). Robbie gets the class going, Ive noticed more and more people participating in his class. He also helps with the Body Combat class, Lizzy is awesome (trust me, this girl will kick your butt in that class). I take the 2 classes simultaneously on Thursdays, when I get home, Im exhausted but feel great at the same time. Every night when I walk into the gym, the staff at the front desk always greet me with a smile, and the ones who clearly recognize me acknowledge me when I walk in. Robbie always takes time to say hello and ask if you will be in his class this week. So, all in all, yes, a few years ago, I had a membership there and cancelled, but not because of the staff or the gym itself. I cancelled because I wasnt motivated enough. Ive been going to the gym this time around since August of 2014 and couldnt be happier. Each week, I notice the results of my hard work and dedication. I sprained my ankle during a zumba class, missed the week after it happened, then came back the following week to modify my zumba moves. I still participated, thats all that matters. So, those of you that cancelled a few years ago, give it another shot, you may find that you will like the upgrades, more classes, fantastic instructors and just all around good time you will have. Thanks again, Robbie and Lizzie, for accepting me in your classes (this is your favorite I Love Lucy Episode Problem Child. You two are the best!! Oh, and I cant forget Susan, the Stability Ball instructor, she is really great too. Every week in her class, you can BYOB (bring your own ball!!!) and have a blast!! Thanks again all!

Gym sends me an email saying my Feb dues will be covered, then I check my online banking and it was indeed charged. When I call gym, associate says the email was sent to everyone but doesnt apply to me, when I ask to speak to manager, she refused to get on the phone and he again insists thats its because Im military. Why send the email then? I regret signing an agreement for this gym. Its tiny and they dont stay open late like the Waldorf world gym which is open 24 hours.
