World Gym of Wantagh

Joined my son there just for the pool.
Always greeted by nice staff
Pool is clean and my son loves being able to bring a friend
Michael has always been great any time I’ve had a question

It is a dirty weight room and almost everyone that works in the weight room stands around chatting with other kids and not making effort to put weights back where they belong.
I’ve never seen someone cleaning equipment there and often see dirty napkins etc for a week solid in the weight room.
They should have towel service at their prices.
NEVER EVER saw anyone that works there doing anything cleaning wise except pushing a dirty mop around.
Seriously tihnking about leaving as it has gotten nothing but more and more dirty. The one time I saw someone complain, Manager Nancy laughed them right as they left earshot— saying «what are they kidding me?».
Lots of patrons have mentioned same feeling as of late— I’d be shocked if they are not sliding on their membership.

Excellent staff. They work great with kids!

This place is the best! Clean, modern, efficient and the staff is great! They obviously spend money to keep their equipment updated. No chain gym mentality here — they really appreciate their customers and I would never go anywhere else. I don’t even live near here but thankfully I work in the area so I can go either before or after work.

I left this gym when I moved from the area for about a year and came back. It’s clean and the staff is friendly. I’m sorry I left for that year.

I absolutely love this gym. I’m a 30 year old self conscious female who is out of shape and I wanted to join a gym for a while but was always too scared and intimidated by people who go and worried they would stare and judge. I finally decided to try a free pass to World Gym and was thoroughly impressed. It is very big, extremely clean (which I’m anal retentive about), great equipment, and most importantly, not filled with judgmental people!!! Yes, older crowd but that just means to me that they are more mature and focused on their own health and what they are doing rather than staring at someone else. The staff is super friendly and helpful which is also great! Not some meat heads trying to sell you more crap or make you feel worse. It is pricey, however, which is why I didn’t give all stars but I felt worth it to not get some fungus at some $ 10 gym and then pay more in doctor bills! Plus they have a very clean, organized day care with monitors so you can check on your kid while you are on the machines! That was another selling point!

A Mixed Bag.
This gym has excellent equipment, that;s for sure. However, there are negatives – it is pricey and I pay for things that I never use like the pool and raquetball. The locker room has been updated but the men are gross and I will leave it at that. I am disturbed by their parisi classes, which is another term for young teen fitness led by their «guru.»
Several times a week they take over the stretching/​ab area and the attitude is that it’s too bad for the rest of the clients. I know someone who was harrassed by one of the kids, and the management could care less. As a result, she quit the gym. If I could find a comparable place that was less expensive I would leave as well.

All of the good reviews are being written by there own trainers. That’s because it’s a horrible gym. Lots of hidden fees. Just be careful of what you are using to make your decision to join. I’m not saying don’t join, but demand a month trial period. Once you sign your locked in just like a cell phone contract, Huge fees to cancel.

I have been going to world gym since I moved to Wantagh in 2009. The gym has a great cardio area and good weight room upstairs. The gym regularly updates its equipment and the staff is always seen walking around and cleaning.
They have great classes with great instructors. Koga grooves is my favorite class and the instructor is most likely the best one there. There are a lot of classes to choose from at night and in the morning, but none at all during the day on weekdays.
A few years ago I used their personal training and it was great! There is a private gym room for personal training which allows you to connect with your trainer and not feel uncomfortable if you are unable to do something.
Overall great gym.

A great gym if you’re over the age of 50. The weight room is never used because all the old people are playing raquetball. The locker rooms are a geriatric nightmare. If you were born after the carter administration and want a good atmosphere, free from grunting grandpas complaining about their backs, then avoid this place.
