Fantastic experience: (Updated 6/2/2024)
I want to share my thoughts on World Gym Stafford. I've been working out there for a while, and let me tell you, it's an impressive gym. I'd confidently rate it 5 out of 5 stars. The overall atmosphere is great, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful.
Now, let's talk about the layout. My previous feedback has been assessed and i can confirm an update has been made which is great to see- with the introduction of more cardio equipment in the upstairs areas- however would love to see the bikes, that are next to the treadmills moved elsewhere- being 6'9 it gets pretty hairy trying to navigate the space between the treadmill and bikes. whilst not accidentally bumping a treadmill that is in use.
One thing I noticed is that some of the machines are placed quite close together. It can be a bit concerning, especially for beginners or those who might not be as experienced. It would be safer if they provided more room between the machines to reduce any potential risks.
Now, here's something interesting. Occasionally, you'll spot people using the squat racks for posing instead of doing proper workouts. It's not ideal, but thankfully, it doesn't happen during peak times when the gym is busier.
Parking seems to be a common challenge across different World Gym locations, and Stafford is no exception. During peak hours, it can be frustrating to find a spot. It would be great if they could find a solution to ensure sufficient parking space for members, especially during busy times.
As a power lifter, I would still love to see more equipment focused on power lifting at World Gym Stafford. It would be awesome if they added calibrated plates in addition to the existing bumpers. That way, we can train with the gear we'll encounter in competitions.
Implementation of the one-way car park doesn't seamlessly align with the existing flow and layout, particularly as there's a heightened eagerness to secure parking spots first. Numerous instances of near side-swipes have occurred due to individuals being concerned about missing a spot. It appears this change happened abruptly, and I may not be on a mailing list, but there's been no communication about it on the gym's Instagram page. I anticipate it will settle down in a few weeks. This really falls apart when people decide to park in non existent spots. Right near the fence adjacent to the day care next door.
I appreciate that the gym actively maintains the cleanliness of the men's rooms, despite what other reviews may suggest. It shows that they take pride in their facilities and ensure a pleasant experience for members.
To sum it up, World Gym Stafford is an impressive gym overall. It has a positive atmosphere, and with some minor improvements, it could become even better. It has become a convenient stop on my way home, and I always leave feeling satisfied with my workout.
