The best gym ever. I have been a member for over 40 years. I competed back in the day and was a gym rat going to several different gyms with day passes. This gym is by far the best. It even has a "woman's" room for females only to work out. It has 3 floors of extensive equipment for all levels of fitness goals. Yes the building is older but isn't it the equipment that is more important. Staff is very helpful and knowledgeable.

Hello everyone
I spoke with the front desk a girl by the name of Stephanie
Asking her to cancel my credit card and do not run my card -she took my name and phone number
And I asked her while she’s writing to please make sure not to run my card
I truly hope management addresses her
For being unprofessional and cannot handle a simple task

The gym is huge. Three floors, a women’s room and a very large room where they have multiple different classes per day. Tons of machines to choose from. The only downfall is it’s a very old building and could really use some updating. It’s a great gym to go and workout and not feel like everyone is judging you because they are actually working out too!

Would not take me on a tour of the facilities because I am/was not military nor first responder (I am a public high school teacher however). Was deliberately discouraged to the point I didn't press the issue, but if this truly is official policy, it needs to be explicit and prominent.

Best gym around! They have everything you could possibly need. Powerlifting, strongman, turf, and recovery rooms. Also, tons of cardio equipment, multiple locker rooms, women’s only section, classes, yoga, training, etc. Prices and memberships are very reasonable. Shoutout to my trainer Ron who continues to develop great programs and results for me. That being said, they have a plethora of great trainers to choose from depending on your goals. Don’t wait until tomorrow, sign and start reaching your goals today!

Excellent gym! Went in to get a day pass today, with the hope to use the strongman equipment. The gentleman at the front desk mentioned that the area had just been printed and was inaccessible. He gave me a free day because of this! That’s a great staff, I can thoroughly recommend this gym!!

This place is great! Three floors with everything you could possibly want in terms of strength training and cardiovascular exercise. I'd call it an "old school" gym in the very best sense -- all great content without any of the nonsense frills. The people who run the place are pleasant, the people who train there are a diverse lot, and there's plenty of room for everyone from the most serious powerlifters to casual folks just looking for basic exercise. Lots of windows in this old factory building. Three thumbs up!

Do you like gyms with old and outdated equipment that’s always broken and out of service? How about working out in a gym with no air conditioning that smells like a locker room full of teenagers who don’t shower? Or how about being bothered by the troll who has never had a girlfriend that works at their front desk? Well if that’s you then this is the place for you! Forget about the nicer, much cleaner gyms up the street with better equipment, just come here instead! And don’t worry, if you decide it’s not for you, the owner will ask you why you’re canceling your membership and then get hysterical when you tell her why…. at which point she will tell you that “you’re not canceling your membership, because she’s revoking it” …… real top notch place. 👀🤣

I pray they never try to redo this gym. I came back after ten years (military life) and it’s the same old rustic gym. This gym by far (I’ve been to so darn many gyms) had the best equipment and ‘old true lifting’ vibe. The vibe of this gym, the people, the equipment makes me want to get an apartment near here just to be able to grind daily here.
People are here to really workout- it’s not the selfie type gym where everyone is just dressed to take a gym pic. I absolutely love this gym.

I can not say enough good things about this gym, in particular the guidance that I have received from Coach Brandon Lirio. As someone who has been exercising avidly my entire adult life (with a background in the fitness industry myself) I can not possibly overstate the depth of knowledge and work ethic that he consistently displays

Steel Beach is just that, a beach full of steel. With a variety of lifting, cardio and calisthenic equipment, I can hit every single muscle in my body. I look forward to coming here every morning because it is an excellent start to my day. The staff is super welcoming and they strive to know their customers. Being able to get into the sauna after a workout is a huge deal for me and that's why I choose Steel Beach Gym!!

Worst experience I've ever had. Tried to cancel my gym membership last year, but the Owner Jamie suggested I "freeze my account" instead. I was hesitant, but she ASSURED me I would never be charged. After the year was up, she started charging my old credit card for $255 over the timeline of 6 months.... WITHOUT EVEN TELLING ME!!! After calling numerous times; I spoke to her in person, and she refused to give me a refund! Poor business practice. I would highly recommend going to an alternative gym over this one.

The process of becoming healthy and active can certainly be a difficult one. When I signed up for a gym membership at Steel Beach I definitely had no idea I would enjoy going to the gym. Investing in a personal trainer has helped me to become accountable and to motivate me to make necessary changes in my life.
Sly Manente is my personal trainer at Steel Beach gym. He has been informative and a crucial catalyst for necessary change. He understands the struggle and works with not only the physical aspect of fitness and diet, but also the mental component.
I recently attended my first group class ( Spin) on Saturday morning . The instructor was incredibly helpful and supportive. I honestly, never thought I would enjoy a class; however, I really loved it! I highly recommend Steel Beach gym to individuals of all fitness levels!

I highly recommend.

Been to a lot of gyms all over the country and in the area. This is about as good as it gets. Caters to people of all different types of fitness from yoga, dance classes, powerlifters , to MMA.
Cant go wrong with the price either.
Staff is awesome and the trainers while I dont work with them personally are great people who clearly know what they are doing.

I'm NOT a gym rat by no stretch of the imagination but this gym is similar to a gold gym environment. Nothing like what you see in the Planet Fitness commercials. Good amount of equipment. The building doesnt give off a "gym" vibe.

The reason for the two stars is the horrible billing policy and practice. When I signed up I was given the option for either month-to-month @ 29.99 or prepay for 6 months @ 19.99. I chose to the month-to-month so I wouldn't be locked in a contract and could cancel whenever I wanted. However when I went to cancel I saw an additional charge for $30 on my bank statement. I called asking what this was and they told me it was a cancellation fee even though I was month-to-month and not in any contract.

Avoid if you want to don't wanna get swindled!!!

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
