Genesis Health Clubs - Sprague

One of my perks after working out is going to the steam room and for 2 weeks now this steam room is not working the whole time when it was the light for it has been out I've expressed my thoughts on that several times and the front desk …

Genesis bought out a previous Urban fitness, L.A. fitness, then a 24 hr fitness that had horrible equipment to begin with which is why they did horribly and added squat racks and charged people more money.. the gym is awful. The leg machines put way too much pressure on your joints to the point they feel they may snap. The trainers don’t ever correct the members throwing weights around and they break every decent machine because of it. Once the machine breaks you notify the front desk and no one fixes the machine for months and then they put it back together as cheaply as possible without testing it. Everything is crooked or has parts that don’t match. This is a horrible gym. This goes for the Cass location as well. At least 24 hr fitness put their machines back together properly and tested it. Genesis doesn’t give any care in the world if the machines are crooked once they put it back together, just as long as they work.

I used to highly recommend Genesis for swimmers but it’s gone downhill in the last year. The pool is used for swimming lessons and/or classes that are not posted on their website so it’s became a regular occurrence to show up and not get to swim. I’m sure it’s great for some but no different than any other gym or the YMCA for swimmers. Not sure if management changed or what but they obviously feel swimming is not a valid workout anymore and the pool is just for fun. They’d never throw a class of small children on all the treadmills but one.

I was a member here about 5 years ago. I moved out of town and when I moved back I rejoined. Some of the "upholstery" on the workout equipment was in the same poor condition it was in when I left. A lot of it is completely worn down and cracked with the foam underneath exposed. The Lifefitness machines are not well maintained at all either. What seems like 80 pounds on one machine feels like 100 pounds on the next one. A little silicone would do wonders. And why are the same two huge holes in the driveway still there from 5 years ago? Neither the interior or the exterior of this place is given the proper attention. The place seems really run down. The one at 144th and Center was a dump too. No wonder it closed down. Makes me question how committed the owners are to this place. There's a lot of competition out there and most are in much better shape.

Genesis offers great classes and this location is the one closes to me. I enjoy all the classes but the main studio is so dirty, not sure who cleans it or how often is clean. I have complain about it. The people at the front desk are super nice and the instructors are AMAZING! That’s why I keep going back.

My daughter was wanting to work out and maybe even try a personal trainer. She signed a liability waiver and promised to pay $400 for that month. She met Sam, the personal trainer. She was given good advice. One month done. She thought that …

I’ve had great experiences at Genesis Health Clubs. We use the kids club multiple times a week and love them. All the classes are awesome. The instructors are fantastic. They offer a new Barre class and it’s a great workout! Check out this location!

I absolutely love this location. I can't speak for the rest of them. Besides Jason at the Tara plaza location. He is always a phone call, text, or email away and I am very thankful for that. This Sprague location, I tried a workout class for the very 1st time in my life (about a month ago), and absolutely loved it. I've been going 3x or more a week since. The instructors are great and assures everyone in each class that they are able to tweak the workouts to work for them and make sure everyone feels comfortable that go to them. My go-to classes are with Amber, Makayla, Beth, Stacey, and David. The daycare ladies are wonderful. My infant daughter has issues being away from me and they are so patient and kind with her and they will never know how much I appreciate that. My only complaints are the water class at 9:30 it's mainly older people who come to socialize which is very rude to the instructor and those who come to actually get a workout in. I also don't like that the smoothie bar doesn't list grams of sugar in each shake. If any of you reading this are hesitant on getting a membership, don't be. The classes alone are worth it! I wish I would've done it sooner.

The gym is always in fantastic condition and has so many machines that are state of the art. The staff is super helpful and the personal training staff is top notch. They truly tailor your workout to your body type and what results you are looking to get. This is the best gym I have ever had a membership at.

I love the all the different types of equipment that they have. I also really like the track and how much space there is. The staff is super friendly. The only thing that I can see they need is towel service and be open later. But all in all, it is a great gym and a great environment.
