Very friendly people just wish they were 24/7 and this specific area more affordable for students. Equipment is accessible and service good! Glad to have join a year ago!

If you give your phone number to this Genesis Health Club they will literally harass you forever! I have told them many times to take me off their call list and it never happens! They are “professionally trained” to call and literally ask, “Do you want to join my gym?” Just like that. Uhhh no. TAKE ME OFF YOUR CALL LIST!!!! I had a very bad experience with them and the manager in 2016 is the one who caused the problems. It’s literally 5 years later quit harassing me. I do not want to join your gym.

Great equipment, great staff, great hours. Overall great gym!

8:20 in the morning and the gym still not open.

My account was charged after I had contacted them twice about cancelling. I will have to get this months charge reversed with my bank. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GO HERE!!!

I was a member at another gym in town for some years and was very skeptical about coming to Genesis. I only switched because its closer for me. I love it! I have enjoyed the classes and the love the trainers. The staff is friendly too. I have made a lot of friends there and it is now like a second home to me. We encourage and push one another. The gym puts on challenges regularly to keep us motivated. The only complaint I have ever had is maintenance of equipment and facilities can be an issues at times. A small inconvenience to deal with when I love everything else.

Rick Fell is doing this review as Im the one that frequents the gym. There is a friendly atmosphere at the Emporia Genesis. If one has questions, the staff is very helpful. Im not active in any classes but there appears to good participation. The hours are set so that everyone should have ample time to work out. After a good work out, its off to the sauna. The sauna is great! They have several trainers that appear to be in good demand.The only con that I have is the treadmills have seen their best years. Many are having to be repaired and then there are those that sound as if theyre a rocket ready to blast off. Those of you that use the treadmills there know what Im talking about.Ive been a member here since it first opened, before Genesis bought it out. Yes ,I would recommend this gym.

Charlotte has no idea how to do her job. Management has been ran by a 21 year old with near to no experience. Be ready to get locked into a gym membership you can’t get out of. Awful and not professional.

The group fitness classes at Genesis are my favorite! Group Power and Group Active give you an amazing workout! The instructors (Cortney, Morgan, and Harlee) all do a great job! They are super friendly, encouraging, and motivating! It’s always fun taking their classes!

The classes here are Great! The staff is friendly and personable. It makes it easy to come when you have a great support system here At Genesis!

Its a fantastic place to go work out. The employees that work there are great people. Sydona and Paul are both great at answering questions that I asked about the machines.

It was good to get back to the gym. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the current situation

Im loving this gym! Its nice to be able to walk in and immediately start working out because of the great selection of equipment including treadmills which had been a problem with other gyms in the past. Ashley is an amazing personal trainer and helped give me that extra push I needed to stay motivated. The staff is always friendly and helpful and I like that I can get what supplements I like right there at the gym. Im happy that I decided on Genesis to get back on the right track!!

I really liked this gym, its close to where are staying.

This gym is the most expensive in town which lead me to believe it would be the best maintained. However their idea of fixing machines is using scotch tape around the pulley mechanisms. The staff is usually friendly however I have had issues with some of them being just kinda rude. Would recommend Emporia Fitness over Genesis.

I really enjoy coming here also enjoy the very kind service they have here. They also have very good equipment and plenty for everyone.

What a fantastic gym to do your workout at Emporia Genesis!!!I love all the friendly personnel that are willing and ready to help you in any way they can! I am thankful for Pete the manager, for Charlotte who keeps all the billing straight, for all the fantastic trainers who are always ready to lend a helping hand!!Especially to trainer Basil Kessler for his keen eye, persistent and encouraging attitude, and is always making sure his clients get what they need!!!So a Great Big Thank You to all at Emporia Genesis!!! Yeah!!!!!!

I enjoy the atmosphere of the gym. Though I have never taken one of the group courses, I enjoy the staff and trainers presence. They are all very helpful at a moments notice. The gym is always clean and friendly so I enjoy going.

Very friendly staff and helpful! Haven’t found a better gym than this one!! Highly recommend!

Dishonest sales tactics at my place of work concerning a discount they said we would get on our insurance for having a gym membership that theyd supposedly confirmed with our HR dept, which wasnt true at all. Plus, phone calls after requesting to be removed from list and repeated billing after notice of cancellation for myself, twice and a friend, once.After multiple contacts on the phone and, two face to face contacts by each of us wanting to cancel we were offered no apologies for the dishonesty or the extra billing cycles. There was no reimbursement, and no solution other than finally cancelling our memberships. They didnt even seem to care at all about what theyd done.This was after my previous membership years ago where I also had issues with being billed after requesting cancellation, having to go back again months later and request cancelling again, and receiving no reimbursement. I went back with a new membership because I thought it was a fluke... an accidental oversight rather than a standing business practice.Between those two memberships I was called regularly over a period of 4 or 5 years, after expressing that I was not at all interested and did not want any more phone calls.I ended up blocking the number they call from because shortly after the most recent cancellation someone AGAIN called to see about reinstating my membership. I was incredulous that theyd even have the audacity to call me again unless it was to offer an apology or reimbursement.I was going to contact the Better Business Bureau, but honestly it was just better for my mental health to be completely done with them.Save yourself money by going to Emporia Fitness. Theyre cheaper, they arent super aggressive or dishonest, everything is upfront, and Ive never had a problem, nor have I heard of one from anyone else I know that used to or does go there now. Their machines also arent frequently broken down like they are at Genesis.

The group fitness classes are a good way to come in, follow an instructor, and get a great workout! You dont have to worry about knowing everything and coming up with your own routine. Class participants are friendly and welcoming. Its like Cheers... were everybody knows your name!

Good workout environment, I’d be making all kinds of gains throughout my time at genesis.

I love Genesis Health clubs in Emporia Kansas Its a very comfortable environment. Quality equipment where everyone has manners to ask if taken. I like how all group classes are all free theyre lots of fun and great exercise. Genesis just started a December event where get a Bingo card and attend all classes to each one checked off and get them all checked get a prize.

The staff is very friendly! When I signed up for a membership they addressed all my concerns and helped me out! Awesome facility

This club is very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I can always count on a hello from Lexi at the front desk and Pete making his rounds making sure everything is going well. My kids also love the day care and all the staff.

Genesis staff members are very friendly! The G-Cycle and HIIT classes are amazing. You get a full body workout.

Group power is one of my favorite classes to take. I enjoy working out here.

Genesis has great equipment, its clean and they are always willing to help you.

The gym is always clean, its well maintained and the staff is also super friendly!

Awesome gym with a great staff. Thank you!

Great place to work out in Emporia. Good hours and friendly staff.

I went here with a friend last week, and the worker, Crystal was so sweet and polite. Definitely recommend coming here

Better gym in Emporia equipment wise, but hours suck, they need to be 24 hours. The new dumbbells only go to 70, the older heavier ones are falling apart. Would love to see it expand. The prices could definitely be better, the 24 Hour Fitness I went to in Las Vegas was cheaper and didnt have start up fees or contracts.

First time taking Group Power and it was a great workout! Cortney made it fun and easy to keep up!

Good place to work out at. Good hours friendly staff as well

The morning ladies Cortney and Lexi always greet you with a smile to start your day off right. They will take care of you. This morning we had snow and Cortney had it all shoveled before us 5 oclockers got there. Much appreciated.

Very clean and friendly environment. Overall great gym!

Paul and Sydona are great at their jobs!! Its a great place to workout!

Best gym in emporia. Well worth the additional cost of membership!

I love this club. Whether you prefer group classes, working with a trainer, or working out on your own, Genesis provides that. Its clean, well equipped, well staffed, and friendly. Although the Emporia location is smaller than some of the Genesis locations, it has everything I need.

Great place to workout! Staff is really friendly!

Such a great family atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend!!

Updated Review 10 August 2021Critical: Refuse to replace or repair DANDEROUSLY worn out equipment!They are perfidious liars. There is only one defense for liable or slander and that is the truth.I was schmoozed by the disingenuous Manager Billy William Erhard again.He and his staff are definitely NOT candid or sincere individuals. Do not believe anything he and his staff say. Words are cheap. Put everything in writing.As they say: The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that youve got it made.# disingenuous, fake, fickle, unreliable, untrustworthy, perfidious, impetuous, perpetual pattern of making promises they cant or wont keep, fail to fulfill commitmentsUpdated Review 29 June 2021Everything has changed for the better at Genesis Health Club in Emporia, KS under the guidance and leadership of the new Manager Billy Erhard. Billy Erhard, the new Manager, is real a leader and knows what he is doing!Nowadays, I enjoy going to the Genesis Health Club in Emporia, KS to lift weights and sometimes relax. The patrons and the employees are very kind to me now. I believe their kindness is authentic sincere and genuine!My integrity is not for sale and I would never endorse a product or service if was not telling the truth.Old, outdated, Review from 11 November 2020I do only two exercises at Genesis Health Club in Emporia, KS Mon Wed and Friday.Genesis Staff at Emporia, Dillon and Billy, have repeatedly told me *, they will spot me on the last two repetitions of the aforementioned exercises. I always ask beforehand for a time that would be most convenient for them.I have extensive experience at weight training with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Casey Viator inDeland Florida and Lake Helen Florida at the behest of Arthur Jones.I was also the Weight Lifting Coach for the Kansas University Football Team under Coach Bud Moore.Now, I am told by staff that I need an expensive trainer to help me finish two negative reps.What is going on at Genesis Health Club in Emporia, KS?This is disingenuous behavior at best. At worst it is deceit.The staff at Genesis Health Club Emporia KS demonstrate bad faith.If you really are trying to help people then you keep the promises that you make.In spite of what you folks at Genesis Health Club say or conspicuously not say I do not believe the folks at Genesis Health Club are dealing with others in good faith or care at all about my health or the health of others.Furthermore, nobody has ever proffered any positive reinforcement.Yet, on my own initiative. I have lost 30 lbs since Jan 2020 and gained back approximately 5 lbs of pure muscle.Although, the few in my personal life have noticed and mention a dramatic change in my health.Nobody, ever mentions my name or congratulates me on my success at Genesis Health Club.Bye the way, that is a wasted marketing opportunity for Genesis! You fail to see the forest for the trees. Your clients are one of your best assets.The folks at Genesis Health Club talk a good talk.Unfortunately, you folks dont walk the walk.Actions, behavior or lack thereof speak very loudly.Furthermore, the folks at Genesis Health Club in Emporia, KS have employed a known thief who is a full blown psychopath here in Emporia that is also a Undercover Police Informant. The only reason he is not in prison, is because he is a Police Informant. Yet the person in question is on your staff!Talk about an non family friendly unfriendly environment!Currently, I am severely disabled. Thank you so very much for the kindness of not helping or caring about me at all here in the Bible Belt!Today, Veterans Day, I have found another severely disabled member who would spot for me. Shame on Genesis Health Club in Emporia KS!The above demonstrates poor leadership, poor business judgement and a lack of concern for the welfare of the members of our community here in Emporia Kansas

Best gym in town!! such friendly staff and the steam room is 10/10!!! 🤩

I love genesis health club in Emporia because it has all the equipment you need to get the proper work out in and great staff. My personal favorite group class is HITT!

Environment is great and staff are always friendly and welcoming!

Friendly staff! Neat and clean workout environment! Locker room is always spotless clean! Great fitness center that is a benefit to our Emporia community!

Extremely disappointed with how the management handled an incident where a male verbally/physically harassed a female club member. When the incident was reported to management, the supervisor arrived to the meeting late, was uninterested in collecting information, disregarded filing any incident reports, and provided no concern/follow up. The female member had to file an incident report on her own, and follow up with the management on her own. Management handled the situation by stating the male member gets a break because it is his first violation. Needless to say, the Emporia Genesis Health club does not value its female members safety with the environment they are creating/condoning. Its sad a loyal customer of over a year is not valued/appreciated in incidents concerning female club members safety, very disappointed with the management decisions and outcome. Strongly caution against doing business with a facility who does not put the club members safety/business first.

I have been debating on getting a gym membership somewhere in town for a while. This place was my last stop for pricing and information. I called earlier in the day to get pricing information and instead I was transferred to someone else with an accent that was impossible to understand that wanted to play 20 questions with me before giving me the information I asked for. Due to being at work I didn’t have time for that so I stopped by in the evening to speak to someone face to face to acquire the pricing information I needed. I was told when I walked in that in order to get pricing information I HAD to go on a tour and be given a fitness assement or they couldnt release any pricing information. Uh, what?? Bottom line, if you’re looking for a gym in town don’t even waste your time with this place. There are plenty of other options that won’t waste your time.

Great facility, wide range of weights and equipment and awesome and helpful staff! 💪🏽

Great place to workout! with a friendly staff and environment.

Cleanliness of machinery and friendliness of staff is excellent!

Every time I come something else is broken ,they only have one working stair master and a ton of atypicals no one uses ,honestly seen better gym for the price. Weights wise its not bad could make sure to organize towards the back.

I felt comfortable from the moment I walked in. I was given a tour and all of my questions were answered. I also really appreciate the open hours.

Genisis is GRREAT!! Staff and patrons are friendly and the facilities are well maintained. Plus you can use their gyms in other cities. 5 Stars all the way.

I like that the hours in the weekdays are more convenient than the weekend because it gives me time to still put in a workout even with my current work schedule.

Currently the steam room is out of service. It has been down for over a week. This is the 3rd time it has been down. There was no hot water for over 4 days. Last Monday the 8th I climbed on 3 different treadmills that all showed errors and would not work. I was not getting my gperks points for several weeks. To managements credit this was fixed very quickly after I brought it to their attention. I do not like paying for a membership when so many things are constantly breaking down! This is not what I paid for!

The one suggestion that I could have is that there should be a Yoga class in the morning. There is everything else at 5:15 but that. Great place with friendly staff.

I love the atmosphere here.. and the personal trainer are amazing.. I miss working with Jenny..

Ive been happy with all of their services the staff there they go out of their way to help you I just love it!

Love this gym! The staff are fantastic!

Best place to work out in emporia!

Be aware that their business model seems to be founded on locking you into a contract with no flexibility to cancel. Hence, if a persons situation changes and he/she is no longer able or interested in continuing a gym membership, then Genesis will hound that person for a period of years through collections and court. My personal experience involved a 3-yr contract (I was clearly naive and will not repeat this mistake) that was frozen during summer and winter breaks when I was out of town and did not have access to a Genesis facility. They still charged me for the membership dues each of those months with the promise of extending my membership for the same number of months after the 3-yr period ended. In practice, this meant I was paying for a service that I could not use. After 2.5 years into the contract, I could not justify paying the monthly fees because 1) they are expensive and 2) I did not like their cardio equipment set-up and would rather just run outside for free. I asked if I could be let out of my contract since Id essentially already paid for the equivalent of the remaining months during a time that I could not use the gym. They did not even reply. Due to potential fraudulent activity, my credit card company sent me a new card with a different number than the one that had been used by Genesis to draft my account. Consequently, they could not longer receive the automatic monthly payments without me updating the information. Only then did they reach out to me to identify the issue. Their only offer to end my commitment to them was for me to find someone else who could take over my membership (like a sub-lease on an apartment). There was no mention of compensating me (or a new person) for the months when my membership was frozen, but I was paying, anyway. They then continued to hound me with phone calls, submitted my membership for collections, and eventually took me to court. I cannot emphasize enough how much I loathe Genesis Health Clubs. A member-centered gym would say, Hey, we really appreciate your membership, but understand situations change. If you ever decide you want to return to using a health club, then we hope youll come back to Genesis. Instead, I think they count on a revolving door of ESU students, faculty, and Emporia community members to sign up and over-commit so that they can siphon monthly fees and then take people to court if they cant make payments. I was shocked by how many others were also in court for Genesis, and that was just one day! After my experience, I have heard of many other similar stories. I wish I had been forewarned. Five and a half years after I signed my contract with Genesis (3 years since I asked to cancel my membership!) I am finally rid of them after paying a $150 settlement. I would have rather paid $150 for a social media campaign to warn others of their shady practices.

Great equipment! Friendly staff!

Perfect place and service to workout

Awesome staff and tons of equipment excellent prices and awesome locker room best gym Ive been to honestly

Great place to work out and trainers are goid as well.

They cant take no for an answer. Ive asked several times to be taken off their call list. Last time as recent as 2 days ago. I still get phone calls from them 2-3 times a week and have for months. Unprofessional and annoying.

Great Gym, great staff, plenty of equipment.

Class instructors learn your name and welcome you when you come to class.

LoVe the 5-5:30am workout crow!! :)

Great classes and friendly staff.

I love it great gym
