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.

It reminded me of a mix of group fitness with a yoga/pilates feel and as someone who works out daily, I would rank it high challenge. Lots of use of props and weights. Definitely bring your own mat, towel, and water bottle. You will wear shoes during most classes, so you may want to pack a gym pair if you don't want to get your mat dirty-- they do also have a UV light sanitizer in the studio you can use on your mat after class. You're assigned a number spot on the floor, studio appears to hold 40-50 people. I'm not sure of their pricing, I attended using ClassPass. Housekeeping: there are two individual bathrooms and two red light infrared saunas on site too! Easy to find parking, studio is on the second level, easy to reach by middle or east set of stairs. Will definitely be going back!

I've been rocking my Mark Blanchard yoga dvds for prob about a year now, and when I found out I was…read moreheading to Overland Park for training, I jumped at the chance to try some classes here. First off, I have never taken an actual yoga class in my life. I way prefer the privacy of my own home, where I can wear my old sweats, stop and go as I please, and most importantly, there's no one there to laugh when I fall and make a huge ass out of myself ;) Anyways, I will totally admit that I have always been crazy intimidated when it comes to just walking into a yoga studio. I can never figure out what level class is best for me, I don't want to irritate anyone and be in the way of the pros, and I prefer to just disappear into the background when a move is beyond me - and def not be called out in front of everyone. Anyways, at this studio the classes are for all levels - so there was no need to play a guessing game trying to figure out which one would work for me. And Gretchen...man, she was cool. I felt totally comfortable w/ her - in fact, I told her right off the bat that I was worried my scoliosis was screwing w/ some of my poses. She even made sure during class to point out the poses that would be most affected by it, and made the necessary adjustments. During one of the classes I even had the opportunity to do some partner work, and with Gretchen's help tried some poses - like a handstand - that I doubt I would just try w/ anyone else. In the end, I got exactly what I came here for. I didn't need to worry about bringing a suitcase filled w/ props - I just came right from my hotel, grabbed a mat, and was ready to go. Everyone in the class was welcoming - I didn't feel like I was stepping on anyone's toes, and I truly felt all levels were welcome. I learned new things and gained the confidence that I was on the right path in terms of my practice - and I appreciated the positive feedback and adjustments Gretchen made to my poses. I was able to pick up a few tips and after being home for just a week, I've learned that a few minor adjustments can make a world of difference. So...I have a feeling that for the time being I'll still be a stay-at-home yogi, but next time I'm in the neighborhood I will definitely be back.

The 2 main differences from other sites is the basketball court is outdoors, so really only usable a few months a year.

Sooner Olathe, I always return to this gym, and it's easy to see why…read more It's a nice gym with an in-the-round running track that got in the way of my workout - and others. But still a fun and cool concept. The YMCA of Olathe is unlike any other I've been to. We'll start with the positives. The employees here are really friendly and they let me right in without any real fanfare or hold up. I think it only took me 30 seconds to get past the front desk and that was that. They didn't ask for ID, I didn't have to show them my YMCA card, and they most certainly didn't make any phone calls. I really like that sort of trust. Most of the equipment here feels absolutely brand new, so even though some of the machines aren't my favourite (and seem like they're for kids), they all feel like they just bought them yesterday. It's a very clean shiny new facility, and everything is in perfect working order which is unusual for a YMCA. Now on to the negative stuff. There's not enough space in the workout room for all the stuff they have. They're missing a few important machines, but those that they do have are really bunched in together. At times I have to actually climb over different equipment to get to other equipment. There is no space. And they put the running track around the perimeter of the workout room. With no barrier whatsoever. So it's really not much of a running track although I don't run so it doesn't affect me personally. But whenever you step around the edges of the room you're actually walking into the running track. I can imagine there would be a bunch of collisions over the years if they keep it this way. Another negative is that their Cybex cable machine is a little bit too wide. And that they get busy and they don't have enough benches for everybody. If there are a bunch of people waiting for benches that's not a good thing. Not much space to use them in either. And they don't have big thick padded mats like they should have. There were some really friendly people as is the way in Kansas, but one guy actually marched over and took my stuff off my bench and said that he had been using it before me and had gone to talk to his wife. That's really bad gym etiquette on so many levels. Also the weights here are hexagonal rather than circular but I have discovered in my travels that it could be so much worse. The Wi-Fi works well when it works but then randomly stops working, which meant that I had to switch to my data. They don't have the bikes I really like but the ones they have here are pretty decent. Overall I would give them four stars. Now do you want to see the naked pix of me in the shower here? Yes? OK! Now? Olathe?
