World Gym Griffintown Reviews

Context : I go to the gym at 6:30 AM monday to Friday. So my evaluation is based on that. Pros: 1- there are a lot of squat racks with safety bars 2- are some deadlift stations with smooth floor portions to absorb impacts. 3- I do a lot of calisthenics so I like doing pull ups and chin ups. Each rack has some pull/chin up bar so it is a plus. There are only 2 dips stations (although it is rare that they are used at the same time) 4- there are a lot of barbells Cons: 1- the gym is very humid. When I enter the gym, it feels like I'm in a jungle in the Pacific during tsunami season. World gym, if you are reading this, send this review to the manager/owner. It is a very big issue. I hope there is no mold inside your gym walls. 2- the gym is very small. There are a lot of people. But to be fair, i wouldn't say it is overcrowded. I very rarely use machines, I mainly use free weights and racks, so I rarely wait for these equipments. HOWEVER, THERE ARE ONLY LIKE 6-7 ADJUSTABLE BENCHES IN THE FREE WEIGHTS AREA. So 75-85% of the time, I have to wait for an adjustable bench between 6:30 - 7:30 AM. It is a big issue. The small size of the gym limits the amount of benches it can have. 3- the lockers are wierd. The locking system doesn't allow you to add your lock. Instead you have to create a code combination but the instructions are weirdly explained. 4- It is so weird and it is the first time I've ever seen this in my life, but some plates (~15% - 33% of them) don't fit on barbell. These plates have a hole with a bigger diameter than the barbell's. So I can't use these plates for stability and safety purposes. 5- there is only 1 cable machine with 8 stations/cables (8 people can be at this cable machine at the same time). So sometimes you have to wait for a cable. But there is a cable machine with 2 cables. Sometimes you also have to wait for this cable machine. Speaking of machines, there are a lot of them. I don't use them, but I think they do more than just to get the job done for a guy/girl who uses mainly machines. Conclusion: like I said, I mainly use the racks + pull ups bar, free weights. That's enough for me. But I would like to use the cable machine more often, but I have to wait for a cable. So this gym gets the job done. I've been to better gyms than this one before, so this gym barely reach my expectations. I would put a 3.5 stars, but google doesn't allow it. The big amount of racks adds the 0.5 star to my evaluation. P.S. world gym owner, please fix the jungle humidity in your gym. Check for mold inside your walls. Don't wait for the city inspector to close your gym if he finds mold. Fix this problem ASAP.

Excellent gym mais svp aménagez une garderie😩😩 !!

Great gym in the area , clean and good vibes. Sometimes little crowded but that’s every gym

The gym has been great for the past year, but there has been no Ac for the past few weeks and it’s intolerable specially in the Athletic classes!!!

Je crois que ca depends vraiment du type de gym que tu recherches.Pour beaucoup ca va faire la job. Prix dans la moyenne des gym actuellement. Beaucoup de machine pour s entraîner et de rack à squat(peu de vrai barre de 45lbs, que des 35lbs). Le deal breaker: La section de dumbell est décevante pour le ratio de personne dans le gym

AC does not work since last week

Nice gym, beautiful poeple but so pack most of time , you cant really train well

There is a big lack of A/C in this gym, way too hot. Hope you gonna fix this problem fast. Otherwise the equipments are great overall.

Just a miserable group of people with the worst customer service. Every time I have had to interact with these people they have been so rude and I'm not sure what their problem is. The facility is nice enough so that's the one star but I would avoid this place especially if you are looking for the buddy pass offer they mentioned on their website but, oh, "not honored at this location". Other than that I really can't stress enough how rude the people on the phone are here, even when I was just confirming my membership was still active. There are several free out door gyms nearby, just saying...

My gym! Like most gyms, too busy during peak hours

The gym always hot around 25 degrees and even though management aware, they do nothing about it. It's been 3 years same story. It's 15 degrees outside but the gym is at 25!

Update: Ma première impression au World gym a été très mauvaise. Après 10 min d’attente au front desk, la personne est arrivé blazé et sans s’excuser. Elle n’a fait preuve d’aucune gentillesse et de jugement. Je me suis inscrit pareil et tout le reste est vraiment parfait.

Belle salle complette. Parfois un peu d'attente pour les équipements, mais cest pas si mal

I have emailed the gym three times in the past two months to cancel my membership, and they have not only not even replied but continued to charge me for another year’s membership. Would recommend any other gym to anyone in the area over this one or any other world gym. This gym is stealing money and ignores its members, the phone number on their website isnt in service to the actual gym and emails are ignored.
