I signed my 2 daughters up for swim lessons here. I took my 8 & 10 year old to their first lesson…read moreand very quickly realized these lessons were for beginners/younger kids. I called the next morning to see if they'd be willing to work with me on a refund, or even use the money I paid ($162) towards my nieces gymnastics account. Linda was beyond rude, talked to me like I was stupid, and when I said my daughters knew swimming beyond what they were teaching them, she replied "if your daughters know how to swim, why did you sign them up for swim lessons?" She was not willing to work with me AT ALL so I'm out the $162 completely. I will never recommend this place to anyone, ever again. Amy (Altis) Schmitt

I organized having my daycare kids and son up together in the same class At the same time, bc…read morethey're close Enough in age and swim levels. However, we Missed the first few days due to a holiday and construction/getting lost. That was our fault. But, When when we arrived for lessons, they placed one of the kids in a different swim group with younger kids After they were in the water for no more than 2 minutes. When I questioned if he Could move with the other boys as we had scheduled, or if any accommodation could be made, the director told me that my son was placed with the other group bc he was determined the "weakest swimmer" among 5 other kids in group with his friends he was in. I knew that was a lie. They told me based their program off how many kids and Divvy it up between the 3 instructors. But that is not what I saw to be true of skill level or ability among the kids. She said they teach the same things and all kids learn the same in each group. she's done this 45 years. And the full "this is how we do it" speech. But when you pull a kid from the rest of the group within a minute of them being in the water, and you tell the Mom/caregiver at the end of lessons that the child was "weakest of the kids, and he needed work and was not listening" (which was not true) without highlighting any of his positive growth, you need to work on your skills with customers a And customer service is in definite growth opportunity. I also felt like the instructors could have used better discipline and communication techniques with the kids. They were often rigid and pushy. They do not talk with the parent/caregiver after lessons or give any type of update on the students' progress or areas to work on. Overall, their target market is daycare kids that they carpool from daycare center(s). If you need group swim lessons for your kid or your small group of daycare kids, I don't personally recommend this group for swim lessons.

Down below is where the magic happens.. modeled off of KU Athletics. They have a turf area good for sled pushes or sprints. Also a huge cage that has TRX, bands, and bench/squat racks. They have power lifting platforms and just about everything you could possibly need. They also have classes throughout the week in different rooms, an indoor pool, and saunas in the locker rooms. I took 1 star away because they don't offer any kind of free trial. Wether that be a a day or a week like most fitness places. Also because the saunas really don't get too hot, unless I'm doing something wrong.. Overall a very nice location. Always clean, staff is friendly and never too busy.

It's never packed with people, and it's clean. This gym has seen me through 10 years of competitions, bulking phases, early morning cardio, and later nights. However, management is piss poor. There has been a handful of times in the past month where someone forgets to open their doors on time. I'll sit in the parking lot for nearly an hour until they do open. They're not consistent and unreliable. Hours for the facility have changed time and time again. It used to be a 24 hr gym, and now they close at 6p on the weekends.

I would love to see these be fixed at some point and not just left untouched. It's unfortunate you have to wait sometimes hours for these machines and sometimes don't even get the chance to use it at all:(

Other times I do have a membership at competitors facilities for days I don't want to drive. I couldn't tell you ONE time I have walked into Life Time and not been greeted and asked how I'm doing. I've gone at 1AM multiple times after a long work shift and had great conversations and great greetings. The staff is so passionate whether it be checking people in, signing up memberships, cleaning the locker rooms and even cleaning / re-racking the gym. This specific location is always so clean, you don't see dust anywhere. I've even been curious when I get higher doing chin-ups to look over the Yoga Sign and on top of TVs and even there, spotless! Amazing. Huge basketball courts, kids facility, and rock climbing. Nonetheless I appreciate being a member here more than just the facility but always feel like I'm welcome. Kinda like a nice neighbourhood I move into, except it's consistent, clear, and clean. I may not go as often now that it's busier as I work retail and get tired after work, but I won't even cancel my membership because I know after any long day if I really need to relax or let a weight off my should I'll visit. Maybe 2020 is my physique year, 2019 wasn't. 10/10 recommend to anyone in the area looking into joining.

I'd say the best medium to large size gym in Olathe is Genesis Health Club. It's located in a safe…read morepart of town and easy to access. The staff are extremely friendly and I've never had an issue while being a patron. I will go on record there will be busy times and off times, and most of my review comes from the perspective of a 5am gym rat. The experience during peak times like 5-7pm will be substantially different. That said, Gensis has a fair amount of equipment to keep everyone happy if you don't mind working in. First off, the showers are plentiful and well stocked with towels but the pathway to the indoor pool is a bit sketchy in that you pass in view of the front door. I've never had to wait on a shower, typically between 5-7am. As for swimming laps in the winter, one might need to tailer their swim routine as people like me who can swim roughly 100 laps and then there's the elderly swim classes. The point is there are limitations. When spring-fall happens it's a bit easier b/c the outdoor pool offers more lanes. Also, the outdoor pool is great for kids who are just starting to swim. Not only do they have a slide but a gradual slope into the water allows kids to wade slowly, perfect for a teaching moment. Next, I've never tried the café so I can't speak on prices, options or anything. As far as BB courts I workout really early in the morning so I can usually shoot alone but afternoons, you'll be waiting to get on the floor. I've never been to a class for things like aerobics, yoga or anything but I have had a trainer. My trainer was a former Mr Midwest champ at light heavyweight, or something along those lines but I honestly think I was bamboozled a bit. In my ignorance I was expecting 3 or 4 sessions a week, a meal plan and several different workout options based on my desired goals. What I got was a body fat measurement via a tape measure and scale along with a musclebound dude to spot me for 3 months. No meal plan, no spreadsheet with workouts that fit me. I mean he fulfilled the spirit of the contract besides not giving me a meal plan other than "eat some berries and tuna", but not what we initially discussed. Now, I will say the greatest thing I learned was foam rolling my muscles. I will admit, I wrestled in high school and college and I've always been fit therefore I know how to workout and diet. So, for many others, they may need a little more education so be sure to emphasize that in the contract. As for workout equipment, they have plenty of stair masters, nautilus machines, free weights, treadmills and so forth to accommodate a lot of people. I think out of my 4 years there I only had an issue with someone reading a newspaper on a butterfly machine and I was doing cardio line training so I didn't want my heart rate to slow down while he was reading. Other than that, it's been very good. What I really like it the indoor track upstairs. This offers a good alternative to the treadmill and good to burn off some calories, but watch out for those people doing squat thrusts in the slow lane! In summary, I never used all the amenities offered but there are a lot. I only wanted to reference what I've taken advantage of at Genesis. I was happy with my stay there and encourage anyone who wants to improve their health to drop on by and get a free trial membership. Two thumbs almost straight up!

Everything is new and improved, and the staff is friendly and helpful. They interact with members better than any of the gyms around here. They also listen and make improvements as they go, which is pretty darn intuitive. And speaking of intuition, I happen to be hearing impaired and years ago, when I was signing my contract, they were very helpful by taking it slow, which I very much appreciated. The equipment is all brand new, so it should be great for many years to come. The pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and free weight areas are all top drawer. All in all, a great gym
