World Gym — Local services in Bellaire

I'm giving it 3.5 stars. The good: For serious lifters, you can use chalk and the plate loaded selection is decent.

They have a lot of square footage and the place is always clean and the equipment isnt falling apart.

They have a trap bar, 2 rowers, 2 areas for dumbbells, they have fixed bars and plenty of benches, they have a safety bar.

The staff... At least the guy with the beard is nice. I haven't had any interactions with other staff.

The not so good: No platform No bar jack Only 2 flat benches 1 power rack 1 stationary bike and 2 recumbents Very small lockers in the locker room... Short ones can fit a sweater and small purse A lot of under utilized space where the rowers and power rack is They don't have enough olypic bars for the racks and for 1 person to deadlift. You'll need to steal the bars from the benches if the 3 racks are being used and someone is deadlifting, not to mention the knurling is pretty worn on all their bars. Their kettle bells only go up to 15 or 25 lbs and are the rubberized aerobics version.

Overall: For the area and lack of options, this is a 5 star gym. During the times I go, I see several serious lifters incuding myself, so is it too much to ask for a platform, a bar jack, maybe another power rack and maybe a few extra Olympic bars? I've never seen it so busy that the racks are full so it hasn't been an issue, just food for thought. There plenty of options for the cardio bunny. They have two tanning beds, a spin room and a half basketball court where you can do...

The gym itself was okay but they are total liars about the policies they hold. I have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars now on gym bills when I’m all the way in FL now. They will not let me cancel. I sent them a letter with proof of my new address, proof of my new FL drivers ID. I’m still getting billed. These guys are just stealing from me. Customer service is a joke. LA or planet is easily way better to help you customer service wise. They probably won’t...

Membership was never entered in the system properly so I keep getting calls about my payment but my account cannot be verified because none of my information other than my phone number has been entered. Called the club several times and left messages for a manager to call me because nobody at the desk can ever do anything to help. Will probably end up in collections before anyone...
