Whitemud World Health

Thus far, I am impressed with the gym. Little cramped in the machine area but unlike the other reviews, I have found the staff friendly and helpful. I started at LA Fitness and they wouldn’t even teach me about the equipment without paying for a trainer. The folks at WH even went as far as to discuss eating habits and other simple life changes.
Parking does suck but it is convenient to my work and home. No fighting traffic, just hit the Whitemud and I’m off.
I will post more as I get further into my experience.
P. S. Would be nice if towel service was free and childcare was a little less.

The nice thing about WHC is that you can go to a ton of locations across the City, which helps if you are like me and want to shed some fat and are on the go around YEG.
This location was recently renovated and has good access off the Whitemud. Parking is generally not a problem.
It also seems to not be as busy as other locations which is nice as some gyms can get packed and that hinders your workout.
The locker room is spacious, and has a bunch of free toiletries, there are also televisions.
The sauna is not the largest but it does the job.
Staff is very helpful and the front desk is always a pleasant experience, since I usually forgot to bring my card.
It’s not a giant location but has all the machines you need, a spinning room, a specialty room for those that pay for training, a class room and a separate section for ladies.
This is a good gym and will serve you well

I really wanted to like it, it’s nice inside but the customer service is terrible. Like other reviews, save yourself some time and find an honest gym where they won’t mislead you and to try to get you into vicious contracts, and disrespect you in the process. Just an all around uncomfortable experience and I will highly recommend staying far away from this place. Regular employees lying about being a manager. Sales accociates lying that there are no trials you have to do a year plan and can’t even try it to see if you like it first.

World health is a gym
It’s an awesome gym.
It’s a gorgeous gym.
It’s gymness is full of people who like going to the gym.
Here’s the biggest things you’ll want to know.
1. There’s a check in offer, so if you check in through Unilocal you get a 7 day pass!
2. They offer classes for free!
3. In the locker rooms they have soap, shower, hair gel, mouth wash, body wash conditioner. They encourage you to get sweaty, and then get clean later. I don’t know how many times I“v left the gym thinking. DanG! I smell because I left my bodywash at home
4. They have enclosed private showers. s No gym towel flicking here.
5. They have a juice bar!
Biggest con?
People who go here seem very serious about working out. I didn’t see any attitude here, but if you are new to the gym you may be intimidated. I’m 200 lbs and benchpress 300lbs. And I’m a average/​small guy here. I don’t really care, because working out with other larger guys makes me inspired. But if you have never worked out, it can be seriously intimidating if somebody huge and buff is glancing over at you.
Believe me, it’s not you, it may be just a casual glance. Gym rats look around too you know, at least until are necks are so huge that we can’t. :)
World Health is a great gym in Edmonton, and I’d say, try it!
…also I read a review below about the parking problems… and all I could think was… seriously? They have an overflow parking lot that is 1 block away. It’s free parking. Yes. It’s 1 block away. WALK over, and then do your 20 minutes of cardio!

I wish I could do a better review… Im a world health fan and love the other locations but this place is gross (even after the remodel) Front desk staff would much rather eat a full meal at the front desk or play on their phone then check people in. The showers are pretty much see through, You can very easily from the shiny metal right into the next stall it makes me a little exposed feeling. Not a fan in sight anywhere in the whole gym. Ive done half marathons and frequent 10ks and I can barely fit in a 5k on the treadmill because my body temp gets so hot. Waaaaaaa World health I just want to like you so much.

The parking at this location has become such an issue, like there is nooo parking and Ive seen so many cars bump other cars in their parking lot because of how its designed, that I decided after 2 years to cancel my membership and try someplace else.

Don’t get screwed like we did. Save yourself the trouble and find an honest gym
Me and a friend of mine were looking for a monthly (no commitment) subscription and were told that they had one with a special going on by waiving the sign up fees. As the lady went through the paperwork and mentioned the fees we asked of that was the monthly payment and she said yes. So we signed up and saw the second charge on our cards 2 weeks after.
Lesson: always read the fine print instead of taking the trainers word for it. Our mistake indeed.
Best part is that we are now told that cancellation of this «no-​commitment» monthly plan requires a 30 day written notifice during which we will continue to be charged for.

World Health Club has tons of equipment and pretty much has all the stuff offered at other gyms so it doesn’t stand out much.
The staff isn’t really helpful or friendly. If you try talking to them or asking them anything they kick major attitude. The place isn’t bad though. If you want to just work out and go about your business and don’t mind all the attitude kicking around this place you might like it. They have new equipment and the entire place is put together pretty good.

I do not like World Health Club.
It’s a great gym as far as equipment goes but the vibe is not a good one. This gym has a really stuck up feel to it. It’s as though if you aren’t a professional body builder or a pinup girl, you aren’t welcome or you are frowned upon.
The staff kind of adds to the stuck vibe too. They are focused on sales and themselves as far as I can tell.
The facility is nice though. They have newer equipment and it’s nice to work out on.
It’s really not a friendly place though. Sorry to say.
