Awesome gym! First time here in Fayetteville and our hotel gym was being updated so we were told that Worlds Gym gives us a discount on the day pass (normally $10 but for hotel guest at Courtyard it was $5) and decided to give it a try. The vibe was awesome and the staff was amazing! The front desk guy made us feel very welcomed and was very accommodating. The facility was great as well. The locker room had showers, a changing room and even a sauna. They also have tanning beds. The equipment was a little dated... but who cares! It functioned perfectly and hey your here to workout... not for looks! There was a exercise room, a spin room, all of the cardio equipment and free weights with machines as well. Even had a section for powerlifters! Will definitely be back! read more

PLEASE listen to the other one star reviews about contracts. The contracts are so unrealistic for being in a military town. Three years is crazy and they will gladly continue taking your money. Oh and don't bother calling their number has been out for months so if you have a question you have to physically go to the gym.Only good thing about this gym is the equipment. read more

This is one of the best gyms in Fayetteville. They have all the necessary equipment for bodybuilders and powerlifters. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is very friendly. read more

They have a lot of great equipment and the classes are cool and mostly consistent as far as the coaches showing, but management are snakes. You can do everything right and cancel your contract and they will still charge you! So many other people deal with this too. Not to mention the gym is kinda dirty compared to other gyms I've gone to since. The staff other than management are nice and helpful. Management loves to act like they don't know anything about their contracts or how cancelling works and will not be helpful in the process of leaving. read more

Service Member do not get this gym they lock you up in a contract, they assume I was military so they don't tell you what you being sign.

AVOID THIS GYM AT ALL COSTS THEY ARE SCAM ARTITS. THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MILITARY PERSONEL. They go out of their way to make sure you cant cancel your membership and will avoid paper trails, knowing full well that when you are moved somewhere else or deployed they will be able to collect from you. Even if you go in person to get it cancelled they will LIE to you and say they will take care of it or that it is taken care of. Come months later when they feel they have racked up enough from you they will hound you and send you bills. ABSOLUTE INHUMANE SCUM OF THE EARTH read more

I manage a gym in Gloucester, Ma. While visiting my son, he wanted me to see his gym. I was BLOWN AWAY.It has it all, old school equipment mixed in with new. Everything is placed by body part with lots of choices to choose from. The owner was so pleasant and the place was super clean. I would highly recommend this gym, you won't be disappointed. read more

World Gym - New and works amazing - Gyms Near Me - Fayetteville, North Carolina

See all

Keeping things professional, I am deeply disappointed in the way the place is run when it comes to operating a business. I had paid extra to cancel my membership last year, only to have them charge me over $400 before I caught it. They then avoided contacting me and instead emailed an account they made up with a gross misuse of my actual name which they sent a "pending" cancelation request. I had to call today in order to find this out after they charged me again this month. I have also seen other unprofessional acts as well but when it comes to down to it, fraud is kind of a bigger deal. I would stay away from any contracts with this gym entirely. read more

The best gym in Fayetteville hands down. Great equipment. Gives you that old school bodybuilding gym vibe. Brian also continues to order new bars and equipment making it better everyday! read more

I have been trying to stop charges on my account since fall of 2020 at the 504 N McPherson Road, Fayetteville, NC location. I filed all the appropriate paperwork, and emails to cancel my account in 2020. I have called countless times over the past 2 years, and have been told repeatedly that "a manager would call me back." I just spoke with a rude employee named Nate, who told me that he'd give me "the same song and dance, I'll leave a note for my manager to call you" and that he was "clearly the only person here." He also stated that there were no managers or districts that I could contact, as they weren't a corporate entity. I have since filed a fraudulent charge claim with my bank, and I am at the point of taking legal action for this dismissive negligence and poor treatment of a military service member. I have been fraudulently charged over $600, and am turned off to the World Gym brand. I will continue to let all service members know that this company is unethical. read more

I love this gym! I was in Fayetteville on business for a week and bought a week long pass. The staff was Very accommodating. The gym is set up very well. Kind of has a fun old school feel. Good equipment and good vibe as well. Thanks for helping me get my workouts in while traveling! read more

I called this place earlier today to ask for the day pass price and was told it was $7 for the day. Arrived to the place and was told it was $10. I informed the guy at the desk that I called earlier and was told $7. The guy was so rude, said some shit about how he was the only guy there, which obviously can't be true. I checked the number I called and it was the right place. The guy was such a jerk about it for no reason. Here's the thing: I have no issue paying $10, but take responsibility for your business and have better customer service. I left and went to another nearby gym. read more

DO NOT TRUST THIS SCAM OF A GYM. IT IS PART OF THEIR BUSINESS MODEL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SERVICE MEMBERS. I wish I could leave zero stars. When I got orders to PCS, per their policy, I dropped off a hard copy of my orders to cancel my membership. Of course they refused to give any sort of electronic receipt of this and made me drop them off in person, when they assured me it would cancel my account. 2 years and 2 duty stations later, I now have a collection charge on my account from the shadiest collection agency, grossly impacting my credit. I have filed a dispute but in the mean time it has been affecting my credit. After learning from my investigative team that this actually is part of World Gym's business model, and employees are actually told not to request orders via email so there's no paper trail, I will be pursuing legal action against them. It's disgusting how they actually plan to make fraudulent money off of traveling and busy service members. Disgusting and they deserve a special place in hell. You will be hearing from my lawyer but I will continue to shout from everywhere to everyone not to trust this place with a single cent of your money. You should be ashamed and grossly embarrassed in yourselves. I've spoken to countless other service members with the exact same experience. Please, future customers, save yourselves and go to one of the other gyms in Fayetteville who still have human decency. read more

If you are on Fort Bragg or live in Fayetteville... DO NOT GET A MEMBERSHIP HERE. On the 18th of January and the 18th of July they will charge you a maintenance fee of $25. but here's the kicker, even if you have money in your account they'll wait a few days or weeks to actually run the payment so they can tack on a $15 late fee. OHH same way with your actual payment for the membership, mine is suppose to come out on the 1st of every month, but because they're scammers... they waited until the 4th to take $186 from my account... I pay for my husbands account as well btw so they should have take $60 on the 1st and $50 on the 18th of January. HERES THE REAL GOOD PART... good luck getting a hold of management to talk to anyone because THESE LAZY PEOPLE ARE NEVER THERE. Then when you leave a message with the nice girls at the front to have management call you back, YOU'LL NEVER GET A CALL BACK. I've been up there 5 times to have payment days switched, never gets done even when you're there in person. I've made calls to ask questions, never get my questions answered or a phone call back. Don't waste your time, or your money on this place because its always over crowded and not worth $30 a month. read more

I spent 2 1/2 months at Ft. Bragg and used the gym almost every day. Fantastic gym, with most every machine and weight set you can imagine. Good cardio as well. Very friendly owners and atmosphere in among the members of World Gym. read more

Best real and overall gym in Fayetteville. Each gym in Fayetteville has their pros and cons, including the one on Ft. Bragg. I've spent time at just about all of them and while I can say World Gym isn't at all perfect, and the other gyms aren't at all bad, World is arguably the best. Like all gyms when you show interest they'll give you a tour of the place and explain how they have equipment for your whole body, that par for the course with these places. At the end of the tour what was different with them is that they didn't try 3 ways to Jesus to get me to sign a contract, they left the thinking and decision up to me. The length and price sold me almost instantly, as I had shopped around before. What gives World its edge is cost, contract length, staff, and atmosphere. As a side note I found out it's owned by a Fayetteville native, so there is hometown pride here. read more

This gym is not held liable for any injury and make the members pay for damages such as a dumbbell rolling off into the mirror. Read the contract yall read more

World Gym Fayetteville is hands down the best gym within a good 50 mile radius of the area. It even beats all the gyms on Fort Bragg (which are free for service members). World Gym is 110% military friendly and is super lenient with contracts for service members. The monthly fee is well worth it because the owner Brian is almost always in the gym and reinvesting the money back into the gym with new equipment and amenities for the members. The rest of the staff is always super helpful and friendly. The other members are respectful and everyone in there is always putting in good work and lifting away, creating a healthy hard working atmosphere that you want out of a gym. The gym also has the classic "pumping iron" feel to it making it even better. 11/10 would recommend this gym to anyone and everyone that comes to Fort Bragg and or Fayeteville. read more

Brian General Manager - please respond to my certified letter that was sent and signed for on 1/12/19 by Jocelyn. My phone number was listed on the certified letter. Action on your part was requested. read more

The gym is awesome. Plenty of room. All the equipment you need. Friendly staff. Free 7 day trial only a few downfalls that make this place a four star gym. Contract. Your membership is a two year minimum if I remember correctly. Contracts never sit well for me but I understand the business side of it. The gym is packed. Plenty of equipment but often you find the squat racks and deadlift platforms taken up. The cable systems are always taken too. And people use the single piece of equipment until they are done with all their sets. Which I also understand but I don't like waiting around until somebody hops off the machine. And that's not the gyms fault at all. It's just seems to be the overall atmosphere. So if you like to workout multiple muscles and do multiple excercises this might not be the place for you. They also have a sauna in the men's locker room (can't speak for the women's) and it doesn't work well at all. The room is too big and the heater doesn't pump out enough heat to feel like an actual sauna. read more

Very good gym for serious lifters. Laid back vibe and never too crowded. Customer service is always helpful and hospitable.

This is a hardcore gym, a true power lifters playground! The vibe can't be beat, you gotta see it for yourself!

Hands down the best gym in town! Would def recommend to any and everybody. Tons of equipment so you're never waiting and the best prices in town! read more

LOVE THIS GYM!!! Charles R I have to disagree! I came to this place and immediately felt like I was right at home. From the new owner Bryan to the staff and the awesome upgrades still to come, this is the place to be. Ive been a member since April and have only seen 2 machines not in service at any given time. I have to say this place is a hidden gym and I know many more will back this statement. THANKS WORLD GYM!!!! read more

To be clear; the one star is because of the CHILD CARE alone. I loved Michelle's PiYo class, and the rest of the gym looked good. The first time I took my kids (4 & less than 1 at the time), I walked in to find the caregiver staring out the window while the kids (all ages) ran wild around the tiny room almost trampling my youngest. The second time, my 4 yo told me that a 'big boy almost dropped' the baby. Where was the 'teacher'? Staring out the window or talking. The third and last time; my son had been crying for a long time, I had not been notified, and he had been sitting in a dirty diaper so long that his bottom was bleeding. Talking to the teacher got me no where. Trying to talk to the owner has been the same. I don't even like posting reviews on social media, but they won't respond to me at all and NO ONES child deserves to be ignored like that. read more

This gym is my second home!!! The staff is so friendly and everyone is like a big family. There are so many knowledgeable people that come to this gym and are always open to helping you out. The equipment is always getting upgraded and improved. Even during the busiest hours (around 6 pm on weekdays) i have never just stood around waiting for equipment to open up because there are so many options and the people are always willing to let you work in! I've been to every gym on post and off post and when you consider the type of equipment, range of free weights, number of racks and benches, cardio equipment, class options, and posing room..no other gym in the area compares!! read more

Stopped in to check it out today on a seven day pass. Place is not great at all. On first glance less than 20 percent of equipment is usable. Machines need some serious help. Missing pins, bent rods, very worn and outdated equipment and the smell. Wait times are long because of broken machines. Really not able to handle its customers at peak time because of it. Heat cranked up adds to the problem. Hate that there is no real area to even streach, do ab work, or cool down. If more than two people are there it is over crowded. Do not like that sweat is soaked in cushions and not cleaned. Been in a lot of gyms and this ranks as one of the worst. Funny thing is this place has a lot of younger posers that just sit and pretend to do a work out and look at the girls. Gym also has several horders that surround themselves with free weights and dont even use them but like to scream for attention. As for classes there are a lot listed on the web site and at the desk but over half are not happening because no people or instructor/ trainer. Plus side it is cheap but if your stuff don't work it has to be. Basic. Nothing more at all. Two stars because only the world's worst deserve one star. read more

Been going steady with World Gym for almost a year now. Would be a lifer if I wasn't leaving gorgeous Fayetteville. I want to bring special attention to World Gyms MVG(Most Valuable Guest) Charles R. He's one of the latest reviewers sporting a tasteful fake mustache in his Profile picture. Just saw his review on Popeyes. They screw up his order a few times, they always seem "stressed" and they get 5 stars? World Gym doesn't have a broken machine in there, the owner can't be rude to anybody(even if he wanted to)and they have a machine or weight bench for every part of your body. He gave them 2 stars....what a douche?! He gives everything but antique shops 2 or 3 stars. He is the reason Yelp is such a fucked up way for businesses to survive, because some idiotic reviewer may not like the color of the seats at a restaurant and he gives them one star. What a Jackass!!! I made it a point to call this goon out, because you can take any person's word for what it may be worth, but when the person is a complete stranger, it doesn't mean shit. That's why I read his reviews, because I wanted to see what else he reviewed. After getting to know Mr R through his Yelp, I'll say he's much better suited for a gym like Planet Fitness. There are plenty of Antique geeks that work out there. World Gym Rules!!!! Joel Out!!! read more

Decent gym with decent equipment, but had A HORRIBLE customer service experience. We were only going to be in town for 3 days.. on the first day, we paid a day fee and were charged $20. As I was preparing to leave, I bought a couple t-shirts and the folks at the counter asked if I'd be coming back. When I mentioned that I'd be back on Saturday and Sunday, I wad told that they would only charge a day fee of $5.00 a piece for us for each of those days (Done a total of $20.00 for Sat and Sun). But today, when we walked in and asked to pay the day fee and told them precisely what I was told just last night, a guy behind the counter folds his arms, looks me in the face and says "No, the day fee is $10.00 per day per person" as if I had simply made the whole thing up. He never checked with his co-workers to confirm what they'd offered, he just decided to pretend like it didn't happen. Now I could care less about a measly $5.00, but the principle is what bothers me. I choose where I spend my money and I also choose how I allow people to treat me. So no, I won't be coming back. Rotten attitudes cost you customers and you just lost us... read more

The only reason I'm giving this gym 3 stars is because of the cheap price and service. I came into town for work and of course one of the first things that I do when I travel is look for a gym. (Have to keep the gains). I chose this one based on the reviews, which IMO are misleading. The facilities at this gym are just dirty. I'm not sure if I have high standards because I'm traveling from Tampa, however I wish I would have paid more money for another gym. The equipment is old and dirty and there is no real area to stretch or do abs. They could definitely benefit from a complete renovation. read more

Customer service is the worst! Make sure you read the contract 100% before you sign it. No way of getting out of the membership unless you move to another location where there are no gyms, get deployment orders, or become disabled. Are you kidding me? If I were you, I would go to planet fitness. A lot cheaper than world's, the equipment is in much better shape, no contracts, and it's 24/7. World Gym was a joke. Equipment is completely outdated (how could it be with all the payments and late payments they receive by the people who can't cancel their membership), half the time their AC didn't work so they had to open the doors... Even in the summer. Do yourself a favor and sign up somewhere where they don't take advantage of you. That's all this place does. There's reasons why places that don't make you sign contracts are more successful. The only reason why this place has a better rating than they should is because you have a husband and wife trying to disprove another truthful comment from another 'yelper'. This company as a whole deserves very low numbers. I have never once wrote a review on any company good or bad on any website - so this goes to show that if you want to spend $25 a month for one or two years (depending on the CONTRACT you sign)- then go test the waters at another company. However, Planet Fitness can continue being the gym that no matter how busy you get or whatever life throws in your path- you can always end your membership. I'll take that kind of place any day. read more

I've had the worst customer service experience. It all started with an incorrect late charge to my account bringing my monthly charge to $60. When I asked to speak to a manager I was told he was not in but that the clerk would leave a note for him. I never got a call back and when I finally called back a couple days later brian, the owner, said he'd never gotten any note and he couldn't do anything with billing. At that point he was only presenting himself as the manager. I finally settled with him on cancelling my account with them and he said they would just pull my $50 cancellation fee from what I was overcharged. After noticing a derogatory charge for $60 from a collection agency a month later (I didn't get any phone call or charge to my account before seeing this) I called back to find out from the morning manager that Brian is actually the owner and that he never cancelled my account. To top it all off I am deployed while this is still ongoing. I will never come back here and would discourage anyone from signing up with this scam of a gym. read more

They have signs around the gym telling not to dead lift it's an embarrassment to the world gym franchise. They also have a gaurded female only lifting area with all off the ab machines so you can't work out there. Good for females but not males. Plus majority of the machines are broken. If your a serious lift you would avoid and try the other gyms first plus the staff never makes eye contact with you when taking your money for the first time to visit. Both of the girls that work the desk are more concerned about there personal lives then helping you with plans to join. I'm commission military officer on ft Bragg which have 8 better facilities then all the gyms in fayetteville. Plus I'm from California this is the worst worlds gym I've see golds Ist much better haven't tried omni but I'll right a report on that soon. read more

The worst customer service experience I have ever encountered. First, I had two female employees threaten to cancel my contract with them, (which would've been in my favor), because I did not put a weight back. I was a new customer and was not familiar with their rules during this time. She proceeded to raise her tone and was extremely unprofessional when I explained to her that I was a new customer. My second encounter is when I spoke with Brian over the phone, upset, understandably, in regards to an incorrect charge on my account. I work in customer service and the number one key to respond towards problem solving is expressing empathy, (customer service 101). Instead, I received a response stating that he "did not appreciate my attitude" and refused to assist with my current issue. I am astounded in the treatment I've received. I was clearly upset about the situation, did not down-talk Brian in any way and he did the number one 'don't' which is to take an unfortunate situation personally. Management, please train your staff properly so this doesn't happen to the next customer. read more
