About us
With over 230 franchise locations on six continents, World Gym International is one of the most recognized fitness brands worldwide. Its loyal following of active members span back to the 1970s when innovative fitness legend Joe Gold opened the first World Gym in Santa Monica, CA during the glory days of “Muscle Beach.” Celebrity bodybuilders including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno and Dave Draper chose to work out at this original World Gym for its high-quality equipment, focus on strength and conditioning, and culture of improving lives through fitness. Nearly five decades later, amateur and professional athletes alike select World Gym for the same reasons.
