Genesis Health Clubs - St Joseph

Usually work out at the genesis in KC on boardwalk and it’s a bit outdated, But overall would recommend it to anybody. Decided to take a buddy to the one in St. Joseph while up that way and gotta say not great. Plates don’t fit barbells well at all, and then paid 20 bucks for a buddy pass for one day…. Can’t say I’d bring someone back with me.

We came here to check out the indoor pool! Ended up taking private and group swim lessons! My child has improved so much in her swimming because of the swim instructors! My daughter looks forward to lessons! The instructors are really invested in the children and making sure they are improving every lesson! There are also fun events they have had such as movie in the pool and game days in the pool, and you don’t even have to be a gym member to attend! While we don’t need it, they also have a great baby and parent class too! We also enjoy the aquatic classes that are offered! Being able to use the pool year around has been great! If you or your child need swim lessons, I definitely recommend!

I've been working out going on 4 months. Never had an issue. Employees are very positive and friendly. It's a fun place to work out.

I got this membership down in KC and moved to STJ and kept it. I miss having the multiple locations but this is still a great gym. I wish they would add more equipment. I often find the weight room is busy and all the racks and benches are filled

Honest review is it fine just not for me. My wife loves it so shes keeping a membership and Im dropping. Ill invest that dues money into a home gym. Other people we know also enjoy it so Ill just explain why its not for me. The culture is a bit odd and me not being from around here Im not used to getting stared at by strangers. My wife also says the way people stare here is creepy, but shes better at ignoring them than I am. I enjoyed the pool, but its usually over crowded with old folks bobbing around so getting a lane is too much trouble. The place stays crowded so theres no good time of day. The employees are kind of blah, niether warm nor engaging, but not jerks either. Its often not supplied, like towels etc. And sometimes the cleanliness leaves something to be desired. Also they have some kind of deal with the local schools so theres always a ton of children around. Its like lifting weights in a high school sometimes. Anyway just not for me, seems fine for others.

I love Genesis! As an MMA fighter and professional jiu jitsu competitor, my first several visits were for the purpose of cutting weight which is a semi-miserable experience as is, but their steam room (when operable) makes the cut much easier. Moreover, I have discontinued long distance running due to a pending knee surgery, needless to say, their swimming pool saved my cardio! I shared a similar opinion with a friend who, as a result, switched his membership from Planet Fitness to Genesis the following week. Long story long, Genesis is the best quality membership for the price.

Very clean, enjoyable. Kids enjoy the club and we enjoy the gym. Best gym we've found cause of the child care.

The management mistreats employees (especially female), the Personal training department has no trainers. Front desk is always vacant. All signs point to terrible management in all departments.

Jose ponce is the best employee at genesis! He is always super helpful with any needs, always polite and most importantly always smiling! He definitely needs a raise!

I love the classes in the pool especially water aerobics and the hot tub is very relaxing. I have been a member almost 3 years and I am so glad we joined!!!
