Testimonials

I can't tell you how much Worlds Gym has changed my life! I have felt so empowered to be a healthier me! Physically, I feel so much better than I've felt in such a long time and I have more confidence in myself, which has given me the confidence to do new things! A lot of the gyms I've gone to had the same machines and I could never find the motivation I was seeking. World’s gym is a truly state-of-the-art gym. The staff is very friendly and always willing to help you if you are in need. But most of all the atmosphere is awesome at this gym, always smiles and friendly people. Thanks Worlds Gym!!

The gym is my playground, my safe place, where I can tune out the daily stresses of the world, all the while conditioning my mind, body and soul.
Personally, working out is a form of intense therapy, a powerful release. Over the years I have developed determination, discipline and perseverance, ultimately committing myself to exceeding personal goals and embracing a healthy lifestyle.
The gym is where I regularly gather with some of my closest friends. I have learned life skills here that have recently allowed me to escape a violent physical attack while away on vacation; I credit the physical strength I have developed under the guidance of my instructors for my survival. Some things in life never get easier; you just get stronger over time.
“You get 3 choices in life – Give up, Give in, or Give it all you got”.
The gym is my sanctuary.

Namaste!

I started with the World Gym in November 2008. I walked in at 170lbs on a 5'3" frame, this being about 40 lbs over weight. I was always tired, irritable and becoming more insecure by the day. My son, 1st child was turning 2 and becoming less demanding on my time so I felt it was my time for me to make that change, for my son, for myself, forever.
I took the opportunity and got started with a personal trainer. This to get properly educated, motivated and to be accountable to someone. I needed to be accountable to someone, other than myself. Someone to keep me on track. It was the best decision of my life. I bonded immediately with the World Gym. Their support and guidance helped me to turn that overweight body and insecure mind into a fit and determined force.
Since then I had my second child, at age 36. During pregnancy I gained all the weight back, but knew that the support and knowledge I received from the World Gym would help me to lose it all again. I did worry about my ability and strength, but I had determination and support. I used the resources provided at the World Gym, the fitness classes, personal training and their dietician. My second child is now 17 months and I am back in the drivers seat.
I could have not done it without my home base, the guidance and the friends I have made at the World Gym.
I truly love the World Gym and I know they have been my biggest supporter throughout.

I've been on a weight loss journey for a while now, many ups and downs along the way. I have worked out on my own, with personal trainer(s) and in classes at World Gym.
I have tried No Limits, Group Power, Group Kick , Ride and Butts and Guts. My first class was very scary and I felt intimidated wondering will I be able to keep up? Will I get it? I walked into No Limits and there were two ladies in there setting up and I asked them a bit about the class expressing how uncomfortable I was and they were so encouraging, the one lady said "if I can do it you can do it" and that has been my motivator ever since.
Having so many wonderful supportive people in one work out class is inspiring, and the instructors are awesome. When you are tired and want to give up they keep you going and even when I'm working out alone I can hear their voices in my head telling me to push more, do more, go faster, hang in there.
Working out in a group is great you have a support system, you have a motivator and you are always learning new things.

I am currently down 65 pounds and working on about 20 more and focus on muscle growth

Why I love World Gym?
My name is Leanne Tanner, I am 45 years old.
When I was first a member at World Gym I got a health scare. I had to take 6 months off. Coming back in October 2006 was very hard. I did not have much confidence and I was nervous. It was Cindy Shaw and Sherry Wendland that inspired me, pushed me, and made me believe in myself again.
Not long ago, in 2009, I also had reconstructive knee surgery; I firmly believe that I healed so quickly from that, because I chose to live a healthy life style.
Classes are my thing! They keep me motivated. The instructors are awesome; I am always looking forward to my next class. I love the atmosphere; we are all there for the same reason, to get a strong and healthy body and mind.
When I see results and my capability, I think WOW!
I love the World Gym because they have awesome instructors, trainers and staff. I have met some of my greatest friends at the gym. Your worst day doesn't stand a chance when you’re working out at World Gym, and surrounded by great people. You leave feeling rejuvenated and ready to face your day.

yours in health,
Leanne Tanner.

A few years ago I looked at my 3 year old son and realized that the upstairs scale said I weighed as much as I did when I was 8 months pregnant. At 5 foot 2, I should not ever weigh 170 lbs. I was done living like that and decided to get off my butt (which was rather sizable). I joined a weight loss program and got a membership at World Gym. Their punch cards gave me the flexibility to see if the gym was a good fit for me and my needs. Shortly after, I felt comfortable enough to become a full member and haven't regretted it since! I lost 37 lbs in 7 months. It's been three years and I've kept it off. Due in no small part to World Gym. Thank you for helping me change my life!
