They were bought out by Planet Gheyness I think, or at least the Worlds in Mobile was. Planet Gheyness is growing like crazy.
I know it is all about marketing and making money, but I just hope that enough gyms stay real, rather than selling out to the new pussy culture.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

"Real people...real fitness"
Apparently, bodybuilders aren't real people and bodybuilding isn't real fitness.

So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

There were some beautiful women at the Mobile Planet Gheyness, but they were beautiful when they signed up. I never saw any of them make any noticible changes in 6 months.
But, that is what the place is now: a social club.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

Haha...it took me a moment to decipher what "Mobile Planet Gheyness" was. I wondered why they'd want to move it around. Originally Posted by KelJu

Hehe, a lot of people make that mistake. When I am on the phone with customer service, they pronounce it mobile like mobile phones. Originally Posted by DOMS

I workout at World Gyms... I go to two different ones... A while ago in spring, they got a new paint job switching from plain white with blue and yellow trim to more warmish colors... At first I hated it, but I'm used to it now. Originally Posted by P-funk

My manager at work said that Planet Fitness bought World Gym and they plan on having two branches, Planet Fitness for the more family/friendly/pussy facilities, and the World Gym branch for more serious trainees... Whether or not that's true I don't know... Anyone I've asked at the World Gyms I go to say they don't know anything about it.
