Showers big enough so you don't accidentally rub your whole backside against the wall. Bathroom is roomy and clean. It's a gym for working out (the weights prove that).

Lots of room, some resistance bands w handles, stretching area, Stairmasters and treadmills. Plenty of machines although they are generally not very new and some are kind of slow and creaky.

It allows me to, well, actually go to the gym where my previous spot was a trek to get to. There are loads of various cardio machines, and the majority have these "course" settings that let you run or ride through cool settings like Colorado, New Zealand, France, etc. In the dead of winter in KC, it's a welcome relief instead of slogging through cardio. The weights area and machines have pretty much what you need, although another couple free weight squat racks are needed. The weights are pretty old school but not too shabby. Parking (with a purchased pass) is pretty good seeing as how this is right in the middle of campus. It's occasionally a bit of a hike when the weather is 10 degrees, but it toughens me up... at least that's what I'm telling myself! Friendly staff and convenient lockers right near the workout area too. All in all, I'm a fan.

They offer a variety of classes--anything from reformer machines to mat or cardio kettlebell and pilates on a ball--so it never gets boring. They also have several classes scheduled around lunchtime, which makes it very convenient, especially since most are only 30 minutes. Don't let the "only 30 minutes" part fool you, though--after my first Pilates on a Ball class, I could barely walk out of the place because my legs were shaking from the awesome workout! They are also super friendly and make you feel welcome. I've purchased Groupons or done trial memberships at other gyms and sometimes not a single person or employee would even acknowledge me, say hi, ask how I was liking everything, etc. Not so at Pilates 1901. Within five minutes of walking in the door the first time, Tina was introducing herself, showing me around, and answering any questions I had. As another review stated, the instructors are very friendly and truly care about you and how you're doing.

Signing the waiver and paying was very chaotic. We started 15 minutes late for our 1hr party. We were given an additional 15 minutes at the end, but it was cutting it close for a reservation we had for lunch. If there were a party or class after us I assume that might have been an issue. We were supposed to be able to use the larger room, but the AC was broke so we had to double up and take turns on the poles in the small room. We did appreciate that we got to have our class in the AC, though. The facilities were not the cleanest. Overall we did have a great time, but it was very unorganized.

It's a decent size gym, with the necessary equipment. I believe they only offer personal training and group classes which look fun. Everyone is very nice. It's a no judgment zone.
