A Legacy of Strength
Our Gym Franchise Is Always Evolving
World Gym® is more than just a gym. We’re an iconic, globally recognized brand in the surging health and wellness category. With more than 230 locations world-wide, World Gym continues to expand within the U.S., Canada, and internationally.
Backed by over 46 years of experience, World Gym is recognized as one of the most resilient fitness brands in the world. Many of our franchise owners grew up knowing our name, and they were excited to invest in a brand with our profound history. We take pride in being able to constantly evolve with each new generation while staying true to our core values and helping our members live fit and healthy lifestyles.
World Gym offers industry-leading wellness solutions that provide a superior member experience. Members have access to a wide variety of industry-leading fitness equipment, cutting-edge training programs, world-class personal training, and innovative nutrition, recovery, and wellness amenities—all at a reasonable price.
A Giant in the Industry
We currently have over 230 locations in 17 countries and 6 continents. Our fastest growth is coming from highly motivated international gym franchise owners in Canada, Australia, and Taiwan. With over four decades of experience, one thing is clear: World Gym is here to stay. Many fitness concepts and boutique studios have come and gone, yet World Gym has remained a pillar of strength in the industry.
We were at the forefront of creating the modern gym experience, and we’ve watched as the industry has come full circle and gym-goers have returned to what’s proven to deliver results. World Gym is perfectly poised to continue our industry domination.

A Gym for Every Body
World Gym is serious about strength and serious about delivering results. We’re more than just bodybuilders and barbells. We believe we are all athletes competing in the sport of life, which is why we provide a supportive environment where people of all experiences and fitness levels can feel comfortable.
World Gym is dedicated to improving lives through fitness, and that’s reflected in the programs we offer our members. From our World Gym Athletics program, to our group fitness classes, to our personal training, we are ready to assist anyone along their fitness journey.
Top-of-the-line equipment, certified trainers, and better value for their workouts make World Gym a hit with all types of members, and we’re proud to build a sense of community where people of all backgrounds can connect and feel supported.
