Genesis Health Clubs - Lee's Summit West

There are many aspects to look at when reviewing this gym. I was fortunate to have been grandfathered in from my old 24 hour fitness days, so there have been no fees or changes in my rate since the switch to Genesis. I know the start up fee is sometimes waived or reduced with promotions but the thing to me that's a hard sell about Genesis is I hear it's a 3 year commitment. Regardless, there are many joining. With most if not all gyms, there are start up fees. With Planet Fitness, for example, they charge you a startup fee every year regardless of whether or not you cancel, which I've never understood.

As far as this particular Genesis location is concerned, it inherited the old Gold's Gym hours, so it is not open 24 hours a day like the Genesis on 39th Street in Independence. It's much more spaced out than what I was used to, which is a good thing. It's a very large gym with a lot of equipment. The contract/monthly payment aside, I can't see anyone not enjoying their workout here as long as they can get there before 11. I primarily go to the location in Independence because I'm a night owl.

The people at Genesis are awesome! Cory has been training me and my body has never looked better. Special shout-out to Emma the fitness advisor as well! All around awesome environment

Big open gym lots of treadmills and equipment great place to work out. The sauna is great as well.

Visiting a buddy and I’m in from out of town. Asked about a guest pass, and Bryce Golightley was able to help me out right away. Top notch facility, has 99% of machines needed, dozens of cardio options, and so much space. Wish I lived here to make it my home gym! Thanks again Bryce

Been working out here since mid-November and I love the facility. Always clean, machines always work and never overcrowded. My trainers Alex Kimble is extremely knowledgeable and do a great job tailoring the workout to his clients needs and abilities. I definitely recommend this gym and Alex to anyone looking for a good place to stay fit or build on their current fitness.

I came in after I was supposed to but Brandon Baker took pity on me and graciously helped me with my issue. I sincerely with all my heart appreciate the kindness

Absolutely excellent gym! From Bryce and whole rest of the sales team. I myself work in the fitness industry and they are all top notch and do everything they can to make the gym feel welcoming, inviting, and safe. Whether you are new to the gym, or an experienced athlete, this is the perfect gym to call home! Apart from that, the equipment is always very well maintained and the facility as a whole is very clean. Highly recommend to anyone, you will not be let down!

Great gym with lots of amazing amenities and group classes!

The Employee at the front desk helped out a lot explaining memberships, how cancellations work, and what all it is they have to offer at this Genesis Health Club location! I also really like the amount of good quality equipment offered by this location.

Staff was very polite and facility was extremely clean! Tons of weightlifting equipment, can’t wait to come back!!

Needed to find a gym to get back into working out after the pandemic and checked out Genesis near my home and joined the first day I toured. Checked out the personal training program as I need that type of accountability. Signed up for personal training after my free session and have not looked back! Best decision I made. Staff is great and five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to my trainer Kyle who sets the bar higher each time I accomplish something. Love those box jumps!!

Lees summit west genesis is a great gym with a lot of equipment. Lots of cardio and a decent amount of free weights. I wish they had more squats racks but overall great gym.

Excellent gym, great equipment with all the amenities!

This gym is one of the best investments that I've made. My kids love it (5 & 3), my husband and I enjoy walking and being able to visit without interruptions. The facilities are nice and equipment is well maintained. It's clean and easy to use. Not intimidating at all for someone new to gym exercise.

This location has a very open plan, with enough distance between weight machines to allow performing super-set exercise blocks without removing to the functional training area. The staff is friendly and helpful, the place itself is clean. The treadmills, ellipticals, and rowing machines are always in good repair. This is the place I choose for personal training even though there is a closer gym. I highly recommend it.

I come here pretty frequently. The people at the counter are always pretty friendly. It’s in a convenient spot for me and they have quite a selection for weights/machines. Only thing I wish is that there were a few more evening classes since I prefer later workouts but I still have a good experience overall

The Lees Summit West location is by far my favorite Genesis location inside of the Greater Kansas City Area. The gym is very spacious to where other members aren’t breathing down on you. Everyone can get their workout done efficiently. Dom the operations manager brings great energy and an awesome work ethic and seems to always attract new members every time I come in.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Genesis. I attend classes offered there 3-4 times a week. Christa and Angie are amazing Zumba instructors and Michelle does a great job leading Group Power.

The reason for my low review is the due to condition of the facility. The weights are literally pealing their coating, the bars are rusting, the ceiling is stained from leaks, the mats are pitted and the floor is buckling.

This facility needs a makeover in the worst way! I also attend classes at the east facility and it is awesome. (Jody is a great Zumba instructor). Now it’s time to invest in the west facility as well!

Update…
After posting this, I was pleased to see that changes are already in the works. Thanks for listening!

I am always welcomed my many smiling faces each morning I come here. I love how the staff also gets to know you over time and are super helpful with any exercise or workout you do.

Always greeted by staff upon entering. Equipment is well taken care of and plenty of space. I come here 3 days a week to lift. Genesis Lee’s Summit West is my go to gym.
