Woodside

Classes fill up really quick. Just because you paid a down payment doesn’t guarantee they won’t raise your rates by 50%. Always a chance your car gets broken into as well

Woodside is amazing. The newly renovated facilities are super boujie. I end up spending all day there working, eating, exercising, and pool season is just kicking off. Katy, Tara and the whole team are so much fun! Group classes are great, equipment is great. Best health club I've ever been to.

Tara Zahner is the best! She was very helpful with getting my partner added and telling me about all the amazing things happening at the club. I am very excited for the new renovations. Also want to shout out my favorite instructor Reagan from rowing. She is always motivating and pushing us to be the best! She is a great instructor and very positive! Good vibes at Woodside

I joined Woodside in October 2022 and it looks like I will be leaving due to the 50% increase in member dues for current members on June 1. The monthly fee has jumped from $100 to $150/month for new and current members and the initial sign-on fee jumped from $350 to $450 for new members.I have been in contact with the Woodside membership and communication team and this decision from the owner, Blair Tanner, is apparently final. I hope that this decision will be reconsidered in light of the criticism being received.

Had to amend my original review sadly. They've hiked the dues up to $150/mo with essentially no notice to members. It's disappointing considering we stuck out many months of construction with closed or highly limited facilities. I'm really surprised they aren't giving members at least the time back they lost. The price increase is pre-mature to say the least.Original review: I think there's a perception that this facility is overpriced and/or snobby. That hasn't been my experience at all. The group classes are incredibly welcoming and the value of this place is UNBELIEVABLE. All of the cycling, yoga, and HIIT classes included, the sauna and hot tub zone with eucalyptus towels, and a place to work and have free wifi. I know people who pay $50-100 more per month for just their pilates or cycling studio. The initiation fee is a barrier to entry depending on when you sign up, but beyond that, the monthly membership is kind of a steal if you ask me.

Started going to woodside in February of this year, last time I had gone was March 2020 and I am obsessssed with their upgrades. They’ve created an amazing space at the South Club (group fitness and spin is almost done on top of polishing touches it sounds like) that is clean, sleek, and spacious and the entire club has so much to offer!! Also the Earth Bar smoothies are to die for. The membership price is completely worth it for me, I do not think it is expensive especially for what you’re getting. You can pay $150 for just group classes at other places that don’t have all the amenities and worse hours. Definitely the best option by far in KC!!

Construction delays and unannounced closures for the last 6 months have been a serious hinderance to my workouts and enjoyment of the gym. Had to get a Chiefs Fit membership in January bc they were so unreliable. Was originally told construction would be done by the new year and here we are with it still going. Zero concessions made from management despite being inconvenienced and half the gym being unusable. Also terrible communication and accountability. Only reason I stay is for the pool in the summer. Just do better

Absolutely the WORST billing system on the planet, and be careful they close the pool a ton of times in the summer without notice, generally due to maintenance issues or scheduling conflicts. While the food IS good (kudos to restaurant managment) :), the customer service treats you as if you're lucky to be here :(.

I am blown away by the amount of inconsistency I have seen in the last 3 days. I have been a member for a little over a year with absolutely zero issues until Saturday Jan 14th. I brought my partner in to sign up and the woman at the front desk had her fill out a form on the supplied PC. That was fine, but it took forever and we needed to upload a pic but there was no camera so there was this dance we had to do to get a picture from her email - like, really? So the signup process was literally like a 20 to 30 minute ordeal. Then when it was done, we received an email saying the sign up is complete and will be active in 1 to 2 days. The woman at the front desk said "Just show people that email and you should be set." which we did and it was fine. A little frustrating, but fine.We then come back the next day, and the woman at the front desk at the South looked confused about the email, and said we need to confirm with the people on the North side. It is becoming blatantly apparent that none of the people stationed at the front desks know the policy. So we go to the North side, they say we should be good, go back to the South side and explain they said we're good and we then go workout. More frustrating but fine.Then we come back this morning, Monday Jan 17th and walk into the South side gym only to be met with the all-too-familiar confusion from the front desk person who then requested my partner go to the North side and "Fill out a waiver" What? First we are hearing about that. So my partner goes to the North side while I begin my workout and I get a text from her "They won't let me workout." Furious I walk to the entrance to find her and she tells me the person at the North side said "We can't find you in the system so there is nothing we can do."For the amount of money they require for signup it is reasonable to expect at least some consistency. There is no process and if there is no one seems to know what that process is. I have loved this place and had no issues when signing up but this recent experience has been an absolute joke. If the policy is "You can't start here until the account has been processed" thats okay, just let us know that. If the email is enough, great - make sure everyone knows that policy so we don't have to waste time. If there is a waiver we need to sign - let us sign it. Every gym and athletic club I have been a part of has this process streamlined and easy to understand. For the way Woodside presents itself one would expect something similar - unfortunately, it is the polar opposite. Unclear policy and direction with a hefty price-tag. Very disappointed.

Wow, words really don't do this place justice! Woodside is far more than just a gym... It is a sacred space that supports all of it's members to be the best versions of themselves. Located inside this serene, safe space is a fantastic team of staff members who always greet you with a friendly smile. Joining woodside is one of the best investments I've ever made for myself.
