I was a college athlete and have enjoyed working out and training for most of my life. I have been…read moreto a variety of gyms, including other class-based places. This has been my favorite and I specifically love this location as well. I started out coming to the Lenexa location because of my sister, and I pass a couple other OTs to come here. I have stuck with a Lenexa due to the coaches and "vibe" here. I recently upped my membership and class frequency because I genuinely enjoy coming here! I get so much more out of each session and push myself harder than I would just on my own. It definitely gets my vote!

I don't know if all Orange Theories are the same, but I can tell you stay away from this one…read more First of all not only do you have to pay high monthly fees but you have to pay for a gizmo that may or may not work, You can't just take the class and workout because you have to have this heart rate monitor so you can stay in the "zone" But I was willing to deal with that so I can have the structure. My first "Trial" class was pretty good. The instructor made sure I knew what I was doing, checked in with me throughout the class, and the heart rate monitor worked as it should. That didn't make it past that class. As my monitor didn't even register my name on the monitor, the instructor walked by several times as I sat there obviously not doing anything. Did she stop and check on what was wrong? Heck no. I had to go to the front desk three times to try to get it working. Now remember you must have the monitor to work out. So i sat there missing the first ten minutes of class. And having to get up and walking out of the training room repeatedly was embarrassing. And yet this "instructor " never did a damn thing. Of course the front desk didn't come into the room to see what the issue was. They just kept telling me it was fixed.. So I had to leave. Then I got an email later on with my progress report. WTF? I obviously didn't work out so what progress were you reporting on? At least I got an email from my sales rep trying to make it right. Got a phone call two mornings later from the Head "Coach" "extending a warm welcome". Like you had no clue what happened the class before? I was just another name on a list she finally got around to calling and feeding me a pre-scripted pitch. Then i got an email from the manager. If it wasn't for that email I would have quit right then . She promised to make sure everything ran smoothly the next week. Spoiler Alert? Yeah you know it didn't. My first issue was the website. I'd log in go to schedule my class and it would try to schedule a location 400 miles away. So I had to call in to book. Frustrating. I got there early to make sure they could double check the equipment. Noone made sure my monitor was working properly. What I did get was a babysitter who tried to tell me I was holding the row machine handles too tight. Once again WTF? If I can make this stupid monitor inoperable my squeezing my hands too hard then something is wrong with your equipment No matter how hard I rowed couldn't get above 34%(58 bpm) which is below a good resting heart rate(60 bpm) And since I've only recently quit smoking my resting beart rate is 80 bpm. Which means if I just sit there my monitor should register about 46%. But my babysitter convinced me it'll get better. Lol yeah. It should work from the beginning not 50, 80, 90% of the time. At the end of class I gave the front desk back the monitor. Of course I had to wait for someone to get to the desk. And of course she tried to convince me that she saw it working. Um no you didn't. Even my babysitter saw that it didn't work properly. And now it's been a whole week and I have not received another email from the manager or call from the "Head Coach". And I have yet to see a refund, which means I need to deal with them Monday or my bank to start a back charge. Both frustrating.

Just easy going folks in for the same reason you are with coaches that are here to motivate you. Don't let the 30 minute time slots fool you. The workouts are effective and you will be feeling it later on in the day. My previous gym membership was 5 years long, but I mainly attended larger group classes. So, while I was familiar with the movements programmed here, there were times I needed to ask for clarification. The coaches are also there to make sure you're doing things with correct form, so no sweat if you get an interruption on your set. It's done with your safety in mind. I signed up for the 21 day trial thinking I could go everyday, and was mistaken. Regardless, I did my best to hit 4-5 days/week and knew part way through the trial I'd be signing up for a membership. On that point, I appreciate the level of memberships available. You can do whatever works for your budget, and if you want to knock out and commit to 6 months or a year upfront, that's an option, too. Not to mention, it ends up being slightly less/month that way. They've got the most diverse set of members, too. I find it inspiring to be working out along side people 10-20+ years older than me as it shows commitment to health and wellness of the community. Literally, all are welcome here. So don't be afraid to come take an intro class or do the 21 day trial.

Anyway, walking out of Grinders one day I saw Crossroads Boot Camp. The location is great for me, since I work in the Plaza and live just north of the river- it's right at about 18th and Holmes. The on-ramp classes are designed to get you going with Crossfit and are there to make sure your form is correct and you don't hurt yourself. All classes are extremely intense and pack a crazy good workout into a short amount of time. While difficult, they are also extremely rewarding. I walk out of there after each class feeling stronger than I did the last time. Then I'm sore for about two days. :) The trainers are knowledgable and encouraging, the gym itself is small enough that you don't feel like a small fish in a big pond, and everyone is super friendly. I haven't tried a boot camp class yet but I've heard they are a great workout as well. This place is great if you're looking for a challenge and wanting to get into shape fast. Even after just five classes, I feel stronger and can feel the shape of my body changing. Two thumbs up!

I went to a crossfit session for the first few times and they were basically the same thing. I am a girl and don't want to look like a boy. I really think most of the workouts are for men. After a couple of weeks, I started to get that giant bulging neck look, not cool! I went to a bootcamp session to check it out and I HATED it. Way too much running. I don't need to pay a ton of money to run. I can do that for free. There were not enough modifications for beginners and I hurt myself. I couldn't do anything else after that and I have not returned since. If you are not a dude and haven't been working out like crazy for a few months before you go, a pull up, ain't gonna happen! I also had a problem with it being way too crowded. It was impossible to do a lot of stuff due to spacing problems and the fact that lots of the people there were jerks and just walk right in front of you. I didn't want to hit people when I was jumping rope, so I would stop when they walked in front of me. Another issue I had was not being able to hear the instructors. This left me asking others what was going on and , and they often said they didn't hear either. Luckily I used a groupon and didn't sign up for a membership, which is over $100 a month I hear! The music is just awful. I should never be subjected to the band "Disturbed" ever again. Heard enough of that awful music from boyfriends with bad taste in music back in high school.
