Perfect place to sweat your face off! Spacious, large variety of equipment, extremely clean!! The staff are wonderful and trainer sessions reasonably priced. (Ask for the free 1st month with 2 free trainer sessions) Within the location there is a Fresh Fit Foods for all your healthy food needs pre or post work out. There is also a women only section with an abundance of equipment. Classes are included in memberships as well. Yoga, spin, power weightlifting, zumba and others. And free child babysitting area - so bring the kids with you! You won't be disappointed! read more

I have never had a membership to World Health Club so I can't comment on any pushy salespeople but have had the opportunity to visit and try out a few of their clubs. I've been to the Glenora location a few times; once for a class and the other time to work out on the machines. The last visit was to work out on a Saturday morning. The locker area is spacious and clean. The layout works that not everyone is in one area with one row of lockers like as some gyms. There are the full body length and half size lockers which is great and you need to bring your own lock. There are benches scattered around by the lockers. There are big mirrors, hairdryers, lotions, and I think even hairspray! There's a door to separate the lockers from the toilets and the shower area. The showers are huge and private, and they provide shampoo, conditioner, and soap. I didn't even need to bring a towel as they provide that as well! I went to the cardio machines where they have rows of bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills. I hopped on an elliptical but I didn't see the antibacterial wipes, which I like to use to wipe the machine before I use it in case the person before me didn't. The machines are great with each having their own tv and lots of channels! It makes the time go be quickly. I noticed where a few people were going to get wipes so I got some to clean my machine down. The free weights and weight machine area had lots of options so it wasn't too crowded. There were benches unoccupied it's nice there's room for everyone in the area. I also think there's a Women's Only area upstairs but I didn't check it out. Closer to the front by the offices are chairs which is great if you are waiting for a friend to come out of the locker area. The shoe area is also big so shoes are on top of each other. Great gym! read more

Lovely location with ample parking (former grocery store). Lots of open space and cool air with tall ceilings. Group fitness is located upstairs - again, lots of space. There is a Fresh Fit Foods located right inside for a snack or meal on the go prepared with optimal nutrition & protein in mind! If I lived in the area, this would be my go to gym. read more

I'm on the fence about World Health. I've had a membership for almost a year and I will be cancelling it when it finishes. The things I do appreciate - the change rooms are always clean and the facility itself is large and open with many machines and available equipment. The reception staff are always friendly and welcoming. They offer fitness classes that are included with your membership which is a nice option for those looking for some variety outside of just working out on a machine. There is a Fresh Fit Foods located inside which makes it very convenient to pick up some healthy food or juice after a workout. Things I don't care for - I dislike having to purchase a minimum 1 year membership. There are so many new fitness places popping up around the city that don't require you to sign up for such an extended period of time. Unless you know you will be very committed, it's not worth it. They pressure you to sign up for personal training. They pressure you to sign up with friends and with family and basically with anyone you've ever met. I had a free nutrition consultation with their nutritionist Gwen and she never showed up for our appointment, never heard from her again about rescheduling. Occasionally they set up a giant speaker and play overly loud dance music for no reason whatsoever.. I just want want to run on the treadmill without feeling like i'm at a dance party. Not a bad gym, but I've realized it's not for me. Just do your research before you committ to a membership, in my opinion. read more

This is an EXCELLENT environment to get your fitness on! I went here last week, for my very first experience at a World Health Club. I was super impressed! It was easy to find and there were plenty of parking spaces available around the facility. Before working out, I ate a quick breakfast at Fresh Fit Foods, conveniently connected to the World Health Club. There was a wide selection of healthy breakfast options, as well as drinks. The foods were prepackaged and refrigerated. I finally opted for a farmer's skillet breakfast, which I warmed up in the microwave in the eating area. For a beverage I choose a Karma passionfruit drink. I had a chance to try out a one hour power class, held in an upstairs room at the facility. I'm so not a weight lifter but I thought YOLO! The class was a Zumba-like version of weight lifting. The instructor was super energetic, motivating and painfully fun! I had a lot of great laughs, with a couple friends, as we attempted to keep up with the instructor. As the class progressed, the weights seemed to get heavier, with each movement. I was using muscles I never used before. A pure beginner, like myself, can take this class, but I strongly suggest you start with light weights. The goal is to push yourself but not to cause injury! During the class people would add and remove additional weights. I didn't try out the exercise machines, downstairs in the main area, but I noticed that there were a wide variety of elliptical, bikes and other fancy machines used to work out. I also liked how there was a seating area just outside the locker rooms. The ladies locker rooms were clean and spacious, with plenty of lockers, toilets, showers and a sauna inside. For your added convenience, they have lotions, antiperspirant spray, hair dryers and hair straighteners to use. I was amazed at the organization behind this place! I left the World Health Club in a refreshed and happy mood. Super pumped to continue with the rest of my day. The next day, I became sore in my upper chest (pectoral) area. This was to be expected, since I worked out muscles that I hadn't before. I simply took an Advil and gently massaged the aching area. After a couple of days I was totally fine. Overall, I was impressed with my brief experience here. I would definitely consider coming back for more! read more

I will say I do love this location, however I had nothing but issues with this location. I will say that Dawn is a great person and she helped me with my membership initiation and training, she is the best thing at this location bar none. I will say that the personal training I took was a joke, I will never pay for personal training again in my life. It was awful, inexperienced and WAY over priced. If they are going to take your money at least make you lose weight, or teach you things that you can take from it. I paid for 24 sessions, so about 3 months 2-3 sessions a week and I paid about $85.00 every two weeks for a YEAR! I have opted to go to a different location, due to the fact that the personal training made me so angry. Plus, I have joined a bootcamp outside of World Health to get the results I want and NEED for far less money! I will still keep my gym membership for a while as I still workout there. My suggestion is DO NOT TAKE THEIR PERSONAL TRAINING IT IS A RIP OFF. Do something else like a bootcamp or fitness class at their gym! Hope this helps anyone as good gosh that is a ton of money!!!!! read more

The gym is not terrible in terms of cleanliness and facilities, but World Health is just another gym that try's to suck all the money they can out of you. They start by making you come in to meet with a staff member to discuss the prices of a membership. That's fine but they don't post the membership fees anywhere on the website and it's probably because they pretty much haggle with you once your are in there. I was originally told that without signing a year long contract my monthly payments would be around $100 a month with a $200 signing fee and some occasional fees of ~$30 for gym improvements. I said that was too expensive for me and attempted to leave. Then suddenly my price dropped to about $60 a month and no signing fee for month to month membership. That seemed reasonable to me so I agreed as I was in desperate need of a gym. About 6 months later I had to cancel my month to month membership. I went in with one months notice and spoke with a manager in person. He gave me a receipt saying I didn't owe anymore money that we both signed. I left happy. The next month I get an email from World Health stating that they can't withdraw money from my credit card anymore. I explained that my card had just expired but since my membership has been cancelled I don't understand why they still require payments. I don't get a response and the next day they charge my card over $100. They literally just guessed my same card number and an expiration date of four years from when I said it expired. When they finally responded they said I owed another $400 and some dollars. Pretty frustrating since I was mislead to believe that I had a month to month membership and I stated about a hundred times that I couldn't be tied to a contract, and I also when I cancelled in person I was told by a manager that I owed $0. Please learn from my mistake and read through what they make you sign like a hawk. Pretty shady of them to just charge a different card without authorization. Essentially perfectly fine gym if you will keep going there forever cause good luck trying to leave without kissing some savings goodbye. read more

The Zumba was fun but I didn't find it as challenging as I would like. It did make me break a sweat but never felt tired by the activity. I prefer a more intense cardio workout. I'm giving this experience 4 stars because of the Fresh Fit Foods. Located right inside World Health Club, they had free salads and snacks available to try. I took the Thai Chicken salad and it was delicious. Still have to try the protein box and the oat bake box. Sounds like a couple of delish breakfasts to me. read more

GYMVMT - Neon Zumba with @worldhealthyeg and @freshfitfiods - Gyms Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

Dated equipment, however they have excellent staff. One employee, Dawn L. was super helpful with my membership concerns. She has taken care of several people I have referred her way and I must say I am so glad she was helping because she really takes her job seriously. Its great staff like this, that make me willing to wait for the equipment to slowly end their life cycle and update this old club. There are a lot of local business owners at this club as well due to its close location to glenora and easy access due ot the traffic circle. But as far as gyms go, they could really use an update to the equipment. I will keep my membership and wait for a while longer for sure. read more

I have been going to this location 3-4 times a week at lunch for the last 8 months and I have yet to experience bad service. On the contrary the staff quickly learned my name and frequently check me in before I give them my card. I love the variety of equipment, the layout and the renovated showers and change rooms at this facility. I purchased a package of training sessions with Ethan and had great results. I lost 10lbs of fat and gained several pounds of muscle. Unlike other gyms I have trained at (Goodlife and Snap Fitness) World Health set me up with a trainer based on my own personal needs. At the other gyms I found the training did not suit my style and it was not something I was likely to practice outside my sessions. With World Health I learned lots of great exercises, I was given help with food choices and I was able to develop a great relationship with my trainer. The training is much more personal with World Health, the trainer contacts you instead of you going through the gym to set up appointments. Ethan also helped me work on some issues I have with my hip joints and showed me how to open them up on my own. I really feel like I got my money's worth. I am fortunate enough to qualify for a corporate rate through work which means the price is unbeatable! The free towel service is great too! read more

A nice big gym with lots of room to do your thing. Staff is friendly and the gym is clean. I haven't tried too many group classes but the spin classes are great at world Health read more

I honestly don't know why this gym has such bad reviews. I understand that sometimes it can seem that they're pushy with memberships but it's a gym. When I went in, they were not insulting, pushy, nor condescending. I ended up joining but when I let on that I was just there for the free trial, they were still just as accommodating as when I joined. Even after I joined they staff are friendly and helpful and are eager to help out of you ever have any questions. Even at more busy times there's always machines available and even if someone is using the one you need, everyone is virtuous and doesn't hog machines or weights. They have a separate women's area which is quite small but has free weights and abundant machines for the busy times or if you aren't comfortable working out in a coed environment. The gym is always clean when I go (anytime between 7am and 8pm) and I never feel uncomfortable working out here. Definitely check this gym out if you haven't and decide for yourself if this is a good fit for your fitness lifestyle! read more

They have sneaked away 3 months of payments from my account without any notice or communication on reopening of gyms even when threat of covid was very real. I do not feel confident to return so it should be at discretion of customers whether they want to return or not and have a choice to continue the account freeze. No response on their helpline, no response on contact us form, Managar Cheryl Radke replied me once or twice with a vague response on refund request but then started ignoring my emails altogether even after several follow ups. They even charged me with one additional month after my notice of cancellation. I read a news article on calgary herald saying they are doing same thing to lot of customers because they are not able to sustain due to covid! Well guess what we are all in the same boat. It is this time when we reflect on values. They have shown their business values by this petty move of charging me for services which I am not able to use because of threat from covid. I would never join any of their branch again, good luck with 3 months of payment you grabbed from me thinking it will last forever. I will be filling a consumer complaint against them.

Prices going up and now child care closes at 1215, preventing any member with kids from doing a noon class.

Love this gym.. staff are fantastic.. highly recommend Karina As a personal trainer.. the classes are great too...

Gym is barely tolerable. The clientele is not very friendly. The front desk staff suck. They do just the bare minimum for their jobs and don't really give a s___ about customers. I had a pretty good experience with a trainer though he was really verbose. The club managers are quite friendly but the staff at the club in general could use a lot of people skills training. Some of the trainers are quite nice esp the male ones. read more

Open 24 hours, Smaller cardio room, jugo juice, good changing rooms with full size lexically lots of area to workout. Not totally modern equipment but when I role around 930 to 10 pm lots OF access to everything read more

NEVER SIGN UP WITH THEM!!! MONTH TO MONTH, OR CONTRACT, THEY WILL LIE TO YOU AND TRY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY!! While the staff are friendly, they have evidently been trained to lie to you. I honestly don't blame them, as it appears simply to be an absolute lack of management throughout the company, as the lies and poor business practices are evident at any location. The sales consultants will certainly lie to you, but this will also be reiterated by all staff members for several months. Referral "Bonuses" don't actually exist (they will promise you things, but will never deliver, despite using your contacts for their benefit). Also, they will certainly mess up billing. Upon cancelling a month to month membership, they failed to properly cancel payments several times (this has happened to nearly every person I know that has ever had a world health membership). They will send collection notices regardless of whether your automatic payment already went through, and they have caused several credit cards to be cancelled as they will try to process payments several hundred times in a day if they have an error on their end (this is viewed as possible fraud by card companies and will likely cause your card to immediately get cancelled). read more

Been a member of WHC Glenora Edmonton since 2006.. Great staff great club!. Love all instructors especially spin classes... Personal trainers great to work with! Recommend anyone anytime! c3y read more

This is a review of the group fitness facility at World Health Glenora. Yelp fit club held a neon glow Zumba class here! I was pretty excited about this concept of Zumba while glowing! Not sure if it is a regular offering here, but what a fun twist! I agree with the poster below that this class wasn't as heart pumping as other Zumba classes I've tried. The selection of tunes was more fun though, from the standard Latin Zumba fare, to pop/hip hop tracks! I wish the room had been a bit darker to maximize the glowiness - the glow sticks that yelp provided lit up, but the room wasn't really dark enough for any white or neon that anybody wore to glow. Still, it was fun to see so much bright clothing in a class! In terms of the room, the instructor had a platform she stood on which was elevated half a foot or so, but sometime it was still difficult to see her foot movements unless you were at the very front. There were also 4 big pillars around the room which disrupted flow of the dancing with any travelling moves (and which I'm sure blocked the views of people standing in line with it). The locker rooms were very clean with nice amenities. And the inclusion of Fresh Fit Foods in the facility is a tasty, healthy bonus too. read more

Gym staff was welcoming and friendly. The instructor was good, not really a blasting workout but it super fun to learn some new dance moves!. awesome playlist too! Is a must try if you like dancing :D read more

I like this gym. There is great value here. All classes are included with your monthly fee and without exception the instructors are enthusiastic, well trained and care about providing you with a great safe work out. The facilities are clean (the custodian is in there to mop up the spin room practically before the class is over). The locker rooms are well appointed, though getting a little short of space. There always seems to be plenty of space on the cardio machines. Complaints? They decreased the size of the women's only gym, and it is pretty crowded now... Otherwise- this is a great gym. read more

I have been a client at Glenora World Health for 5+ years. The reception staff have on many occasions have checked me in and have my chit ready before I have taken my shoes off which is so nice! The facility is always nice and clean. The trainers, management and right to housekeeping have been so friendly and helpful. I will continue to be a client of Glenora World Health for as long as I can. read more

The gym is well equipped and offers everything from weights, to cardio, to classes and more. The clientele is full of variety and all feel welcome, whether you're just starting or a gym veteran. The staff set this club apart for the better. Shout outs to Calvin, Denisha, Andy, Alan, and many other staff that have made me feel welcome since day 1.I have formed genuine friendships there and I'm not even paying personal trainers for training. read more

I have had a membership for over 3 years. Staff are always fabulous; it's just the "beautiful smooth talking people" that get in the way. I had never had a personal trainer other than the less than useful one they gave me to try out with when I started with the gym. I liked the classes and needed these to push me with fitness. As the good classes and good instructors started to disappear, I tried their Boot Camp on a Saturday. The trainer was fabulous; catering to issues I had had with a hip/back. Then I realized one day that she also did Personal Training and I signed up with her for once a week. Unfortunately, a week after entering into that contract that I didn't read closely, she and other excellent trainers left the gym when new management came in (ie World Health Calgary took over and had different ideas). I did not want any other Personal Trainer having been at the gym as long as I had with no interest prior to this trainer...ie strictly because of her proven efforts in her ability to help with my back and hip issues. The gym however told me that they could give me someone else. As far as I'm concerned, any business/association worth their salt would have honoured my request to cancel the Personal Training contract given that I had only just signed up with only one training session utilized. (I had put over $300 down to make ongoing payments smaller). However, in spite of my request to cancel; they took that down payment out and biweekly payments). Attempts to resolve the issue in person and then via email, always got me the response, "we've sent your concerns to head office" . This was also the case when I indicated that while they might have a clause indicating that they reserved the right to provide another trainer, they didn't seem to mind breaching their own clause of client confidentiality when they sent my email and at least 50 others out to other people at the gym. Given the gym's adversity to showing some good faith and cancelling the Personal Training, (something I believe suggests a failing business), I requested to cancel my gym membership. The smooth talker indicated that I couldn't cancel my membership when I had a contract for a Personal Trainer. (I stupidly believed in the longevity of the gym and the trainer at that gym...clearly not likely for the gym given the lack of customer service.) read more

I love World Health, but I absolutely hate the Glenora location. Some of the newer and younger staff are really friendly, but the majority of the staff that work at this location are rude and unwelcoming, especially one old trainer in particular who glares at everyone and sets his clients up where people are already working out. The equipment is old and kind of crappy, and the women's only section is ridiculously small and crowded. read more

Always love coming here!!! Great trainers, great positive attitudes and they have a wicked lay out, so every piece of equipment is easy too get too:) read more

Great facility with lots of equipment in great condition. Really nice decor, beautiful changerooms with lots of amenities, and ample parking. Drawback is how salesy it is!! I tried the free week and while it's a great offer, be prepared for a half hour meeting in one of the sales guy's cubicles, asking all kinds of questions - what you look for in a gym, where you go now, how much you pay, do you have any friends you might like to bring here (ie can we get them to buy a membership too). A bit pushy and kind of a turn off. read more

This is a pretty standard gym. I like that it's large and there are always enough machines and equipment even during the busiest times. The change rooms and shower area are always clean which is great. I also really appreciate the woman's only room for when the main area gets really crowded. You do have to jump through the typical hoops that always come with a gym membership..for example the free trial they offer isn't really free - you do have to choose to sign up for a membership to utilize it. I dislike they try to pressure you into referring other people to sign up at the same time - who would really appreciate having their contact info given to a gym without their consent or knowledge? They also strongly encourage you to sign up for personal training sessions which is pretty expensive. You get two free sessions with your membership which I have declined to use since I'm not interested in feeling pressured to buy more. However if you are new to working out or need to find a program for weight loss it would likely be beneficial. Also be aware if you don't cancel before 30 days of your membership expiring, it will automatically renew. After getting all the membership details out of the way however, I am pretty happy with the gym and the facilities. read more

I have been going to world health for 5 years now and I absolutely love it ! Not only is the gym fantastic but the staff are wonderful, such a warm welcoming environment! They really go the extra mile to make sure you feel comfortable and you have everything you need to achieve your fitness goals, My day isn't complete without a visit to the gym! read more

Although the facility was very nice and the change room area was always clean, the customer service was not clear and at times would simply lie. When I went in for an information session, the recruiter tried to get me to join by promising additional benefits such as 5 personal training session instead of the regular 2 sessions that would be offered and that I would need to give two weeks notice for cancellation. However, after joining, my trainer told me that I only have three free sessions and the first consultation session was one of those three. I called the Glenora WorldHealth to cancel my membership at the beginning of July and gave all my account information to cancel. The employee lets me know that he canceled my membership and that I would be billed for another 2 weeks. However, I have been billed for the past two months. When I called in today to ask why I was still being billed, I was told that I needed to send in a request online to cancel my membership, but I was never told this on the phone call two months ago. I never felt that I was told the correct information and now I have been charged for services and facilities that I have not been accessing and believed I had canceled my membership. Check my scan tag ID to check that I haven't been going for the past two months, I thought my membership was canceled. I was not satisfied with the treatment at World Heath which is sad because it is a great facility but seems to want to only make money off its clients. read more

A beautiful facility, but make sure to check and double check your contract on signing, despite what management tells you that you're signing. I made the rookie mistake of trusting what the manager told me (that I was being signed up month to month, with no commitment, at a higher rate than a 1or 2 year contract because it was month to month) without reading every detail of what I signed. Turns out it was a 2 year contract at the high rate. My fault for trusting the World Health employee instead of reading the details of my contract. Whoops! An expensive oversight I won't make again. read more

Love this location!! Well maintained, staff who actually care about their clients and such a fun and welcoming environment! My trainer Ashley sure does know her stuff :) read more
