Genesis Health Clubs - Rock Road

"An overzealous but poorly trained personal trainer approached me as I was walking to the recumbent bikes and told me I was walking the wrong way. He said the directions changed alternating days. We do that so you won’t over use your hip. I just turned around and went the longer way around to the bikes. Here is my concern. Your trainer never inquired on whether i was walking the track or simply using it to get to a specific place I. The gym. As a disabled person who engages in fitness. It is best to take the route shortest to get to the exercises indicated for you. The problem with your staff is his over surveillance doesn’t take that into consideration. Then he tried to get my attention as he showed me proof of the tracks direction. It was over kill , inappropriately done and not considerate of the other personal accommodation -I had a right to take. Now this feedback will poss him off because he didn’t like that I wanted no further conversation after his over surveillance and lack of consideration. He believed I must listen to him. Although I thought what he did was without proper forethought. I do not believe Black men should be under any different scrutiny than any other race and if Genesis does - kindly refund all my costs and I happily find another venue for fitness. By the way not twenty minutes later three people walked the opposite way on THAT track while that trainer was training and he said nothing. And yes I watched- not okay. Let me recount my complaint- your trainer never asked if I were excercising - he assumed I was taking laps. I was taking the quickest route to the recumbent bikes. It was an unnecessary, unprofessional attempt to control a member of color improperly surveilled for the wrong reasons and yes it was offensive."

"I have Been dealing with several serious health challenges for an entire year that totally depleted me physically. I’ve been working out at Genesis and having personal training sessions with Sean for two weeks and I feel sooo much better. The facility is very nice, spacious and CLEAN. The staff are All very friendly and helpful. I’m confident that I will regain my strength here!"

"A lot of equipment in this space but highly chaotic. This place was obviously some huge office building renovated into a gym and expanded upon. The feng shui is horribly off and there is just too much equipment stuffed into this one building. They definitely need a professional interior gym designer. There is a mix of new equipment and old equipment that seems like it was bought wholesale out of a 50 year old gym. There is high congestion and too many different brands of machines. The upstairs is a mirror maze. It almost seems like this place was put together by a gym meathead who is also a hoarder. A great example of less is more. Maybe sell off some of the outdated equipment and put in new stuff. The ceilings are too low in spots, the spaces are stuffy, musty, and the HVAC system could use an upgrade or put in more fans. Props to them making use of the conditions they had. This is by no means a bad gym. The people and workers are great and they have some neat amenities and are continuing to renovate and expand. I'd still recommend it to others. This review is for constructive criticism purposes."

"Genesis here on Rock Road has a super above and beyond staff. Everyone is friendly, smiling, knows you by name after just a couple of weeks (which is impressive), engaging, fun and motivating. The gym is well designed and organized. The equipment is functional and unique. Although it doesn't have all the possible features it still has plentiful enough to get a great workout in. At this time, the facility is undergoing certain remodeling and upgrades which I am very excited to see as this gym has had the same layout for years. Out of all the Genesis in the Wichita area, this is one is by far my favorite for the staff and steam room. The steam room is a wonderful way to relax. The locker rooms are clean and have lockers that lock without having to bring your own lock which is a bonus in my opinion. This is a family and children friendly environment. Great for all ages and types of people. Thank you to the team for making it special."

"An awesome Gym! This gym has it all, from an indoor track, to a pool and crossfit section. If you're looking for a great gym with a little bit of everything, Genesis is what you're looking for! My brother and I come every year when we come to visit Kansas, and we always get an amazing workout! Definitely one of my favorite gyms of all time!"
