The award was presented at the&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/world-gym/info">World Gym</a> international convention in Las Vegas, highlighting the gym’s excellence among over 225 locations, most of which are in North America.&nbsp; “I couldn’t believe my ears,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-talmadge-1b246538/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=world-gyms-healdsburg-location-named-as-north-americas-world-gym-of-the-year-2728415" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Joe Talmadge</a>, who has managed the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.worldgym.com/healdsburg/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=world-gyms-healdsburg-location-named-as-north-americas-world-gym-of-the-year-2728415" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">World Gym Healdsburg</a> location since it opened eight years ago. “Obviously, there are other gyms that probably are a little bit bigger and fancier and offer different amenities as well. But World Gym looks for ‘key performance indicators,’ the things that really matter to them: how good of a job we do serving our specific community, how good we are with our members, and of course the cleanliness of the club, the type of equipment we have and being up to date on everything that we offer.”Talmadge, who has decades of experience in the fitness industry, transformed the once-dated Healdsburg Community Health and Fitness into the thriving World Gym it is today. Inspired by the legacy of the gym’s founder, Jimmy Payne — a renowned local weightlifter and trainer — Talmadge revamped the space by removing underutilized features like racquetball and basketball courts and adding more weightlifting and fitness equipment. This redesign has allowed the gym to efficiently accommodate more members, further solidifying its community-centered approach.The gym continues to evolve, with new wellness offerings such as an ice bath, infrared treatment and massage tables being introduced this month. Despite these additions, Talmadge remains deeply committed to weight training, which he describes as the “fountain of youth.” Open 24/7, the gym aims to support its members in maintaining muscle and overall health, particularly as weight loss drugs like Ozempic gain popularity. With a monthly fee of $60, World Gym Healdsburg exemplifies a modern yet community-driven fitness facility that has earned its place as the best in the franchise.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.healdsburgtribune.com/fit-and-over-50-at-local-health-clubs/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=world-gyms-healdsburg-location-named-as-north-americas-world-gym-of-the-year-2728415" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Every great franchisee had help buying a franchise.
