Yes, my workout partner is a trainer at Worlds Gym but like mmtman said above they have now been bought out by Planet Fitness and will be chaning their environment and company policies so get ready for some change. Im not sure of all the exact details but I know my location will be changing the name over in January. Like raijin1 said they are franchise so they will change at different times and be operated differently. Ours will be changing their name to Metro Fitness I found out. Personally I think its a sad day. The World Gym name has been around for a long long time and I dont know if it will come back, owners will have to pay more to carry the name, or what but I hope they come back or stick around in some regard. I heard that a guy got kicked out of a Planet Fitness for grunting too loud! If it gets too bad there I was planning on heading to Gold's since more are popping up in Columbus but I did hear a rumor they may be being bought out too, who knows if its a rumor or not. I may have to be going to Power Shack if my gym changes too much!
