I thought the gym had good equipment and it was clean.  It has a good layout and plenty of room and mirrors to accommodate a crowded gym. I saw no broken equipment and most of it appeared new. I thought the lockers were big compaired to most gyms and the locker room was clean. They have a sauna and steam room which is a huge plus. 

My main complaint was the staff, if not for the front desk person I would have given it 5 stars.

I've never seen someone who obviously hated their job more than the girl at the front desk. She had a permanent frown on her face and I honestly felt like an inconvenience for interrupting her standing at the empty front desk. I arrived at around 3pm and after paying for a day pass I was informed they were closing at 5. Two hours is plenty of time to get a workout in, but I think I should have been told before paying.

Mediocre gym, terrible service. The equipment is often broken or missing. At one point one of their two bench presses broke, and it took over 7 weeks to replace it (yet upon asking every week they would say "oh, it'll be ready in a few days"). Tried cancelling my membership and got charged an extra month. Tried resolving it by calling them numerous times, and the manager was never in. They always took a message and promised that I'd get a phone call back from the manager to sort things out, which never happened. There is a surprising lack of affordable gyms in Portland, and the price of this makes it attractive, but avoid the headache.

This place has a great gym and there is a great group of people that go there, the staff are pretty friendly as well. However, on numerous occasions this place has wrongfully taken, or attempted to wrongfully take my money.

I canceled my membership because my wallet was stolen from THEIR locker room, and the staff made no efforts to help me track it down. I canceled all of my cards and the card I signed up with was one of them. However, despite me cancelling my membership, I was charged at the beginning of next month anyway. I was informed that even though I had canceled at the beginning of January, I still had to pay for the following month of February. I also paid late fees because my stolen card was declined. 

A few months later I get another call from their collection agency, Twin Oak. They tell me that I now owe World Gym $40 more dollars, on top of the $31 that I already paid for a month in which I never once stepped foot in the gym.
This $40 charge was a "maintenance fee" charged every February to annual members... mind you, I had a one month membership from December 10 or so until January 3, at which point I cancelled my membership.

So now I was being charged for an annual maintenance fee for a membership to a gym that I had cancelled not even a month after signing up, and after all was said and done I had paid for 3 months of membership, plus late charges for the last month, and a $40 dollar "maintenance charge" for annual members, just to spend 3 weeks at a gym in December, only to have my wallet stolen out of their locker room.

Moral of the story, great gym, but a great place to have money stolen from you (in various ways, they're greasy.)

Good gym.. Not great, definitely a weightlifting gym, they actually have dumbells that go over 80lbs.. Some douchey roid heads.. The trainers are mediocre and unimaginative.. Definitely better than the planet fitness down the street.

Management is terrible at this gym.  Responds poorly to feedback about the lack of cleanliness in the gym, continuously broken equipment, and cancellation of classes that members like.  They frequently get rid of good instructors and the classes they keep are outdated.  Basically, it seems as though they couldn't care less about their customers, because with their low rates they are always pretty full, with a large young crowd.  I have noticed a good many of the regular members are no longer putting up with it and have left, as have I.
