World Class Fitness, located at 6206 S 31st St, Fort Smith, offers a wide range of physical fitness programs. Despite being open 24/7, the gym has garnered mixed reviews regarding its facilities and overall quality. It is commended for being a locally-owned business with a long-standing history in the community. However, its performance has seen some decline over the years, with unfulfilled potential and outdated amenities.

The gym seems to retain old customers who appreciate its nostalgic charm and friendly staff, but some express dissatisfaction over deteriorating equipment and concerns about hygiene and maintenance. Despite the recent efforts to refurbish and update the gym, there are numerous concerns that persist, and they are proving to be a hindrance to the gym's overall appeal.

Pros:

  • People have praised the gym for having helpful and approachable staff
  • Gym provides 24/7 access which is convenient for different schedules
  • Has a variety of facilities - weights room, boxing room and separate women's workout area
  • Offers discounts and reasonable prices for their services
  • Positive steps towards refurbishment and updating the carpet and bathrooms

Cons:

  • The facility has outdated and faulty equipment
  • Hygiene concerns were raised - showers lacking hot water and tanning beds lacking sanitizing
  • Security concerns for female users and general gym etiquette were highlighted by some members

Absolutely horrible place. Steam room is still not fixed. Plates are rusted. Barely enough room to walk around free weight area. Weights are not put up at night. Only 1 water fountain that does produce cold water. Broken handles for pull weights.Best advice is to go with Ten Gym. Cost is way less and all amenities work. On top of that … you are never in a contract!!!

From where my childhood gym was had lost all its potential. They do a good job when it comes to cleanliness and they usually always have, but when it comes to a big gym like this the incentives are not really there they USED to have a A STEAM Sauna, a hot tub, a nice basketball court with basketballs that were INFLATED. Now it’s just a nice bathroom with a tad bit of the 90s a Odd red white and mold green flooring and nice black carpet in the actual gym. Everything is rusted outside so be aware that you may have to get a tetanus shot. Has a boxing area but it’s so old there’s rips in the punching bag and most of the equipment looks ransacked. Unless you like the short drive, old mismatching equipment, and walking in a environment that’s neglected don’t work out here as it will neglect and tarnish your time and money. I’ll be happy to change my star ratings I’m still here just show me growth for the future.

Ok, really my only complaint is that the equipment gets moved around some.I’m legally blind & though I go with my bf, it’d be kinda great if y’all would keep things in one place.. Or idk, organize the equipment better? lol (yes I’m a Virgo)I haven’t been into the women’s workout area yet. 🤷‍♀️Ehhh… maybe today.

The owner has been notifed of the bulbs being out for OVER 6 MONTHS. Owner doesn't care to replace them. But they make sure there's a BROKEN fan in there for you though. Take your business elsewhere, where you are valued as a customer.

A lot of the equipment is older but still functioning. I like that they have 24 hr access, have a separate weights room and a boxing room. The individual shower stalls in the men’s room do not have hot water thought. Only the open space shower does. Tanning beds don’t work and the steam room I guess is now defunct and just there to look at. If I remember correctly they also once had a hot whirlpool tub years ago but it’s gone. Seems like they charge quite more monthly as a locally owned gym but don’t keep up with the amenities. Might have to consider canceling and going somewhere else instead.

As a female, I felt very uncomfortable in the gym. There’s a women’s workout section but anyone can wonder in with no consequences seeing as it’s not secured and there’s no staff in the main gym to see who enters or exits. The equipment is either one of the following: torn, run down, broken, wobbles, or is absolutely disgusting. Nobody cleans equipment once finished, the staff doesn’t care abt the members and so the members don’t care about the gym orstaff. If you’re looking for any type of security while working out this isn’t the place.

I grew up coming to this gym since I was a kid and it use to be such a clean and updated gym. Now it’s just decent. Sauna is horrible and takes forever to warm up. They use to offer a hot-tub but that’s gone. The showers/ bathrooms are old and basically falling apart. They do have a lot of machines but a lot are old. It definitely needs a lot of updating to ever be close to it’s former glorify.Update: they have started to remodel and update the carpet and bathrooms so there is hope for this gym.

WCF is seriously the worse gym I have ever been to for multiple reasons. The members have no gym etiquette at all. People crowd equipment and have 15 minute conversations while not even using it, they use equipment as their personal coffee tables, they slam weights so hard the break them, yell, scream, talk about using roids in front of everyone. Every gym has these typical meatheads, but these people take it to the next level. The entire staff besides the female manager is very rude and lazy, any request is a huge inconvenience for them do not cause them to have to work because they will let you know how annoying that is. Parts of the gym go weeks without being cleaned, they will go months without refilling the sanitizer for the tanning beds so use caution before you lay down on one. Even the owners attitude is "I really dont care if you workout here, I won't go out of my way to make members happy." The worse part of this place is close to half the equipment is broken or defective is some way. I have literally seen equipment break down totally on people, I personally have almost been seriously injured more than once because of faulty equipment, and I've seen people almost injured. Working out here is actually dangerous for you health. A gym is not the place you want to be cheap and careless, if your equipment is messed up or broke it has to be fixed putting people's health at risk so you can save money is not okay. This place is old as is most of the stuff in it, it needs updated severely. I have held a membership here at two separate times and it used to be a pretty good gym, but it has significantly gone down hill in just a year. It's too bad because it has the potential to be an amazing place to workout, if someone who could put money back in to it owned it, it could easily see it's real potential. I will not miss working out here.

I have been to 6 different gym in the Fort Smith area and this one is by far my favorite. The staff is friendly and helpful, great prices (and discounts), and the hours are reasonable. It's definitely worth checking out if you aren't content with your current gym!

I work all over the world and have been to many gyms. Most of the gyms I've found that are the best are the established locally owned ones. World Class Fitness is that gym in Fort Smith! The staff is very personable and helpful. The trainers are easy to approach. They offer many options for everyone's fitness goals. They are the only gym that offers a smoothie bar that I've been to and they are awesome!
