I was very excited to learn that Wow Workout World was opening a Workout World La Mirada. I thought everyone could benefit from having a Workout World in La Mirada. I just want to share what a current member had to say.
Exercise was never really my thing and I was afraid I wouldn’t stick with it. I had joined a few gyms in the past and never stuck with any of them for more than a month or two at most. I grew up by the shore and always knew about Wow Workout World and one day I finally decided to join. Even going in, I thought this would likely end the way most of my past gym experiences ended, with me paying for a membership I didn’t use – but it was different at Wow Workout World, right from the start. Physically, the space was amazing, and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. I was immediately encouraged to meet with a Personal Trainer for my free “Start Smart” sessions. This was great because together we discussed my goals and were able to customize a routine that really could work for me. I still meet with this trainer sometimes just to get my program updated – he’s become a friend and an inspiration to me. My next great discovery at Wow Workout World in week 2, was Group Training. I have NEVER taken any type of Group Classes before and was afraid…afraid of feeling like the new kid in school, afraid of messing up, afraid of falling down. All I can say is that the Group Training Instructors were unbelievable. I tried all sorts of classes and in each one, the instructors always made sure to ask at the beginning of each class if there were any new people, and they always made sure I was feeling comfortable throughout the class with some friendly eye contact or an encouraging word. They are all extremely knowledgeable and all the instructors made it a point to know my name. It’s been over two years now and I never miss a week. In fact, I am usually here a few times a week, especially now that I am engaged. (In pursuit of that perfect wedding body.) There’s something different about Wow Workout World and I knew it when I first walked in. Between my Personal Trainer and my Group Training, I feel like we are all in this together and that camaraderie and connection to people really helps me to succeed.

I signed up with my wife, 18 year old son. I am very excited and even happier that we are only paying 19.99 a month

My doctor told me to exercise or die!! Diabetes high blood pressure and overeating were going to make it impossible for me to see my baby girl graduate from elementary school, never mind being around for my grandchildren. I joined L.A fitness and was doing fine until my hours were cut back at work. I asked for a more affordable plan but the best they could do was $30 per month. When I first saw the Workout World ads I thought it must be a misprint but it wasn’t. I joined and feel like my prayers were answered.
I joined for 19.99 per month and that rate will drop to 9.99 and I will have access to over 30 locations in southern California alone. Thank you for coming to California after all we are not all movie stars with unlimited money but we all still need to exercise……FOR REALZZZZZZZ

How do you know the Club is awesome if it's not even there? How is it beautiful if it is still a Rite Aid! Nothing has been built. They have been promising to Start construction since May and NOTHING has been done! So please explain to me how this place is so beautiful if it is not even built. The opening date keeps getting pushed further and further back! I went there 3 and half weeks ago and was told they would start building that following Monday! I went by tonight 08/06/09 and not one thing has been built. So how are they suppose to open at the end of this month if nothing is there. I smell a HUGE scam!

I SMELL ANOTHER LIAR ON THIS SITE!!!...After reading all this I went into the location and unless I am living on another Planet I do not understand what you are taking about. I saw construction crews, and a great friendly staff. The entire inside of this place have been demolished and you can already see a beautiful health club taking shape. I suggest you take a look for yourself and not take my word or anybody’s word for it. Bottom line is 19.99 per month!!! Wow Work Out World La Mirada is making fitness accessible to me. What a wonderful facility and in an absolutely great location. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable; the facility is going to be absolutely beautiful. This is a tough economy but with Workout World I can afford to keep myself healthy. I was paying twice as much at my old gym. Thank you very much Wow Work out World and I am telling all my friends join.

I was a WOW member for a long time, the first scam is when you change your card information and you do not change it at the Gym ABC financial charge $20 fee and if they can`t take money out of the account they keep on trying, I had to pay 120 dollars within a week in fees, The other scam happened in August 2009, I enrolled 5 members of my family in my account for the awesome 9.99 deal, the agreement with the WOW representative was that we had to pay $70 for each member $50 enrollment fee and $20 for the first and last month, since they explain everything to us they asked us to sign the contract for a year so we did, The first fiasco happened 1 month after the agreement they charged me and extra $49.99 for no reason, when I called ABC financial, their history report stated that I had insufficient funds which was not truth I had 130 dollars but I lost my statement and the bank couldn't give me any info from 2 months back, so I couldn't do anything and I always make sure I have enough money in my bank account to cover the $70 dollars a month I had to pay for me and my family, when I checked my account on October 16 2009, i had $100 dollars enough for the month, but when I checked my account the 26th I was -356 NEGATIVE, I when to the bank they told me there was nothing they could do other than changing my card information, and since I had a contract with them I would have to talk to them, so I did go to the WOW gym to talk to the supervisor, and they told me that when we signed the contract we agreed to pay $39.99 lock fee after 3 months of membership to locked the $9.99 dollars a month for each member, I TOLD THEM, " I HAVE 5 WITNESSES THAT KNOW THEY NEVER TOLD US ANYTHING ABOUT THAT CHARGE AND BEFORE WE SIGNED THE CONTRACT THEY WENT OVER THE CONTRACT WITH US " (telling us that what we were signing here was just one year contract, the 2 payments for 9.99 1st and last month and the $50 dollar membership fee). now since we did not see that hidden fee in that huge contract with really small letters and they were acting like they were going through the contract after 3 months I had to pay 249.95 Lock fee for 5 members and 175 to the bank for overdraft charges, everything is a total of $424.95 dollars. I told them to look at it from a business point of view, is not the main purpose of a business to have their costumers happy we would be members with them forever, instead they rather lose 6 costumers and ruin my credit.

This is so unfair. What would you do? you wouldn't want to have business with that kind of people and cancel the membership right!. sure we signed a contract which means each person had to pay 100 dollars on top of everything else or the are going to be taking the monthly payment for a year. Now lets say, "f... this I am not going to give them any money", that's exactly what I said and I changed my card information, well in my case imagine WOW and ABC financial trying to take money from my account for 6 people and charging extra 20 dollars every time they can't take the money, Now can you picture what would be the debt in one year.

I agree with you JAD25, WOW really pretends they care about you but they dont. I went to apply for a job and they told met that i would get a JOB IF AND ONLY if i got a gym membership.(which is ilegal) and i went to a interview and the girl who does interview she was not there..then they told me to go the same day at another time and she had just left.. I dont know why they are so unorganized and wordless. To make long story short i never got the damm job and they took away my money..I had to go cancel with them and they still bothered to show me the freaken gym.. like if that would change my mind of their HORRIBLE service..! They brainwash you to the max to get you to go in. Specially the guy ISSAC he loves to brainwash you to get ppl in. Be careful
