    This Y isn't the biggest; it doesn't have an outdoor pool or an open gym or anything.

    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!

    This is one of my favorite Genesis gyms run by a one of my favorite Genesis managers, Chris. This…read morelocation used to be rundown, as they bought it from a company who bought it from Prairie Life and needless to say, they spent a lot of money and resurrected it to a level far above what it was at its former peak. 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

He also remembers that I have arthritis issues and reminds me to lean forward or relax my shoulders, etc. in order to mitigate arthritis pain. Highly recommend him!

    Genesis Health Clubs acquired Healthridge in Olathe (now Genesis Ridgeview) roughly a decade ago…read moreand has run it into the ground since. Meanwhile, they've clearly found the budget to renovate other locations nearby with new equipment, turf areas, the works. Those clubs look great. This is supposed to be their premier club in the area, and it's been left to rot. It's not just the equipment, though that's bad enough. The HVAC is a coin flip on any given day. Water fountains are hit or miss. Steam room and sauna work maybe half the time. This is a large metal building with no reliable A/C through the summer, which isn't just uncomfortable, it's unsafe. Membership is visibly declining, and staff have been telling us for over a year that new equipment is "here" but they're waiting on flooring. I was told that exact line a year ago. At this point it's not a delay, it's a pattern: pay premium dues, get told a story, watch nothing change.
