World Gym opens first Thai location in Imperial World Samrong
Fitness network World Gym launched membership presales on 18 August 2026 for its first Thailand facility located inside Imperial World Samrong in Bangkok
Bangkok, August 18, 2026 - World Gym, the globally recognized fitness brand established in California's Muscle Beach in 1976, has announced its forthcoming opening of the first club in Thailand at Imperial World Samrong. This groundbreaking venture aims to introduce the brand's world-class fitness experience to Thai members, offering world-class facilities, cutting-edge technology, and affordable membership options.
With a presence in nearly 300 clubs across six continents and serving over one million members globally, World Gym has evolved from a hub for fitness icons like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Lou Ferrigno in the 1970s to a publicly listed entity in Taiwan (2762.TWSE). The company's expansion into Thailand's rapidly growing fitness sector brings an internationally recognized operator and a 50-year brand legacy to local members for the first time.
World Gym's arrival in Thailand is driven by a commitment to deliver premium, globally benchmarked fitness at an accessible price point. The brand's first Thai club will feature equipment from leading manufacturers like Matrix and Abs Company, coupled with advanced technology such as AI Posture Diagnostics, a three-minute assessment that provides personalized insights into posture, balance, and flexibility. Additionally, the MYZONE Switch wearable will enable members to engage in effort-based training.
This members-first approach is designed to seamlessly integrate high-quality fitness into daily life. Building upon Thailand's energetic and ambitious fitness culture, World Gym promises to make world-class fitness a part of everyday life. John Caraccio, Chairman and President of World Gym Corporation, elaborates, "Thailand is a strategic next step for our brand.
This market has the energy, ambition, and rising fitness culture that our brand was built on. We're not just opening a gym; we're making world-class fitness part of everyday life, and we're bringing our 50 years of legacy and the technology that defines the next generation of fitness here to achieve this."
Fostering a sense of community, World Gym has opened founding-member registrations for the Thai club. For additional details, interested individuals can visit the brand's Thailand website at https://www.worldgym.co.th/en-us/landing-page/samrong.
