Reviews of Steel Beach Gym (Gym)

Robert Clemente

This used to be World Gym, now going by it's original, long ago but now resurrected name, Steel Beach. Original review still stands..... This is not a spa. This is not a club. What it is is an old world facility that has been here for many years. Offers numerous classes, 30 minute workout type area, treadmill/stepper aerobic area and a hardcore free weights and machines area. World Gym offers all you need for beginner to advanced, whether you want to lift weights, get in an aerobic workout or participate in the latest classes. And, the best part is everything is included for a very reasonable price. This is a place where real people can work out, sweat and not be "intimidated" by lunk alarms or sickened by a purple and yellow color scheme that makes one want to vomit. If you want to be pampered or if you don't want to be around members that push themselves, there are plenty of "health clubs" that offer you a chance to pay a fee to NOT work out. If you want a place that makes you feel like you are welcome to work hard, World may just be the gym you were searching for. Choice is yours.

Can't beat what they offer for the cost, and they're adding even more!

I have been to several gyms and World Gym is my favorite . They have plenty of machines and there is rarely a wait to use one . The place is very clean and that is important to me . Most of all the staff is very cordial and courteous . They actually talk to you using your name . PW

The facilities are OK, but they are horrible when it comes to billing. It was such a bad experience I will never join again.

Have had more gym memberships then I care to remember. Been member here now couple months so here is my take. Value for dues reasonable. Lots of equipment to use. Staff seems friendly helpful. My biggest issue with this gym is quality of air very poor air circulation. Couple of fans blowing stale hot air around. The lower level has alot of wasted space which could be better utilized which to access it cost more money and honestly it's not worth it unless you are into power lifting heavy but then it's a gym why pay more to? Staff needs to be more proactive about members not leaving plates on equipment after exercising. So basically why 3 stars.

I am here in Ct. on business. I have about 100 people that follows me through at any given area. I called this place and asked to speak to the manager on what he could work out with me in regards to my people working out. The girl who answered the phone was very polite, courteous and respectful. When the manager got on the phone, he was completely opposite. He didn't even give me a chance to talk. He just mumbled something and hung up on me. That was the most rudest, most ignorant and disrespectful thing you could do ever do to a potential paying customer. I just don't understand the people that treat customers in this way. I have customers too in my line of work and if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have a job. Maybe this guy needs to learn and understand this or get himself another job where he doesn't have to deal with the customers directly.

Don't go there between the hours of 5- 8 pm because it's a madhouse. It's not a bad place, slightly dilapidated and outdated equipment but a good bargain for what they charge. Be wary of a good majority of kidiots and douche bags who have a sense of entitlement that go during those peak hours. Other than that, it's a decent gym for getting your workouts in.

I signed up in January of this year. And started training in February under one of their personal trainers.The difference between this place and the gym with the yellow and purple logo is like night and day. The yellow and purple colored gym is not invested building fitness in its members in my opinion. It is invested in cliches and franchising.This a great place to meet your goals whether it is weight loss or muscle building, nutrition as the Black Market Kitchen nearby discounts their food ten percent off for members of the gym. Its staff take a professional and courteous interest into helping you achieve the best results. They want to sincerely help you and they support your gains and help you if you fall down from your goals. And that is key here. The gym is always busy.. but busy in the sense that you see a community growing. Three floors strong of people dedicated to improving themselves with effort and commitment. I have been to many gyms in Connecticut you can't find better than that in this area and that is saying a lot. This is Steel Beach Gym and I am very glad I am member here.

I have been a member of several gyms (the edge, planet fitness, as well as a few in the Boston area) and this gym is one of the best. The membership price is spot on with what they offer. I love going to the different classes (boot-camp, body sculpt, yoga) and the staff is always very pleasant. The amount of equipment they have is also really great. My past gyms were always missing something, they were too small or didn't offer classes or their trainers weren't that great. World Gym has a nice balance of everything.

Matt Matsil

It's a great gym. It has good programs for a reasonable price. They have decent equipment and do upgrade as needed.

Anthony Kalamas

Great real gym.

If you're looking for some upscale, shiny Globo Gym, don't bother. This place is local, clean, has an awesome staff and the rates are reasonable. The machines aren't the fanciest, and sometimes are busted, but I'd never go anywhere else. The fact that I still have a double chin is on me, not them.

Great gym, sheisty billing practices.
