I can’t say enough good things about this gym. From day one, Will and Ashley have made me feel genuinely welcome, supported, and encouraged. Not just as a member, but as a person. When I first started, I was pretty new to working out and honestly a little intimidated. They never made me feel out of place or inexperienced. Instead, they met me exactly where I was and helped me build confidence. Now, working out has become something I truly look forward to, and I can’t imagine my life without it. The environment here is positive, motivating, and inclusive, and it’s because of the people who run it. All the managers do an exceptional job making me feel welcome and I can guarantee whoever is at the front desk is going to give me a big smile and hello. I do personal training sessions with Ashley and I swear that girl has changed my life. If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll feel supported no matter your starting point, this is it.

I think it’s important to warn people about how this gym treats its members, especially women. The management at this location acts like anyone who isn’t a white man is beneath them, and they speak to you that way. From day one, it’s been constant issues. When my boyfriend and I signed up, they only created his account even though I was the one who set up the meeting. I had to come back irritated just to get my own membership added. Later, I updated my payment info twice after getting a new bank, and they still failed to update it. Their system “went down,” but no one notified me or let me know the update didn’t go through. Because of their negligence, my old account overdrafted three separate times — totaling $150. After freezing my account and thinking everything was finally fixed, I checked again and saw I’d been overdrafted again. When I confronted William — the manager I’d been dealing with — he argued with me, acted like I was asking for things I never asked for, and refused to take responsibility. When I called the situation unprofessional and blocked him, he messaged my boyfriend behind my back to “tattle” and accuse me of being verbally abusive instead of speaking to the actual member: me. Then his superior called me, and instead of asking if it was a good time to talk, he launched into a long lecture and wouldn’t let me speak at all. I don’t have time in the middle of a weekday to sit on the phone being talked down to about a gym I’m not even a member of anymore, so I hung up. I’m not going to sit there and be lectured by some random man who can’t listen. This gym’s management is blatantly misogynistic, condescending, and completely unprofessional. I would not recommend this place to any woman.

This is absolutely one of the best places to pump iron in the whole state of Kansas. Possibly possibly, the USA. From the amazing neon lights to the electricity that the atmosphere provides the staff goes above and beyond, and knows exactly how to make you feel like a VIP. The coolest place to get a pump on. Shout out to Aaron & Chanel 🙏

East Central is THE location to be! This is my go to gym. You can’t beat the retro vibes. The shake bar is amazing and as always the staff is very well educated and will help you succeed! I’ve lost 105 with Genesis and there’s no better community to be a part of!

One word, “wow!” This gym is pretty unique and includes two levels, all the amenities you could want including a protein shake bar and a ton of equipment for most people’s goals. It has a unique ambiance and the lighting actually kinda works/ shows features better for posing. The staff is super friendly and helpful and the machines and gym is in pretty good condition. This is a place for everyone, new, bodybuilders/ physique, and even powerlifting. They have a ton of trainers as well to get you started in the right place.
