“I just wanted to share how much this gym and my trainer, Aubree, have meant to me over the past few years. From day one, she has been the best accountability partner. She is always encouraging, motivating, and genuinely invested in helping us reach our full potential.
One of the things I’m most grateful for is how she helped me navigate working out during pregnancy and then supported me in finding my confidence again postpartum. That season can feel so overwhelming, and having someone so knowledgeable, positive, and supportive made such a difference for me.
Beyond the workouts themselves, the environment at this gym is truly special. It’s such a positive, welcoming place to be, and over time it has become so much more than just a gym - it feels like family. I’m incredibly thankful for the community, encouragement, and friendships I’ve found here. ❤️”
“I like this gym, especially Barri’s classes! She gives great muscle cuing and corrections. If you can’t make your class call and see if they can switch you to a later class—there is no charge.”

“I have been a member here over 4 years and love it! No 2 camps are ever the same so the workouts are never boring. The trainers are top notch and even in a class setting they will still hold you accountable even if it's a shout out from across the floor, you know they are there and have your back. The complimentary child watch and flexible class times has always been a huge incentive to keep going back. Love this place!”
“I love the individual rooms with a max of 3 people. I don't feel like I'm working out/sweating in front of tons of people. Plus the cardio options and weight area make it so versatile.”
“Better You Fitness is more than a gym that cares both for your fitness & nutritional needs. The meal plans make it so easy. Sarah & Grant keep up the good work!”

“Blush Boot Camp in Lees Summit is amazing! I love being able to walk through those doors and have a fun environment where the workout is planned for the day with awesome trainers. I can modify if needed and be comfortable making that decision. Did I mention the results! Thanks Blush team for all you do!”
“I’ve been training here for about two years, which is longer than most of my relationships and at least three Marvel timelines.
The owner is a veteran who somehow looks like Captain America got exposed to gamma radiation and decided to open a gym. Imagine a miniature Hulk with better manners and a stronger work ethic. That’s this guy.
What I appreciate most is that this isn’t one of those gyms where the owner disappears into an office and only emerges to sell protein powder. He’s present. He knows his members. He cares about the place. The equipment is maintained, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the culture is built around helping people improve themselves rather than showing off for social media.
As a veteran myself, I’ve seen plenty of leaders. The owner leads this gym the same way good leaders run a unit: by setting the example. The man works hard, treats people with respect, and expects the same from everyone else.
Unless you’re allergic to results, accountability, or seeing a Captain America/Hulk hybrid casually moving more weight than your car, you’ll probably like this place.
Two years later and I’m still glad I walked through the door.
Highly recommended.”

“My happy place. There is SO much to do here. The staff is great, members and so cool and such hard workers. The culture here is friendly and everyone is respectful. There is a ton of space, enough weights and machines for everyone, a steam room, a nice pool, and now a cold plunge!! It is a bummer when they close for holiday's, but other than that, this is my dream gym.”
“Hands down one of the best gyms I’ve been to. The staff are super welcoming, and the members create a really positive atmosphere. This isn’t a luxury gym with all the bells and whistles—no steam rooms or fancy machines—but it’s perfect if your goal is to lift and train hard. Everything is clean, well-maintained, and there’s a great selection of strongman equipment. I’d stay a member forever if I didn’t have to move for work. Couldn’t ask for a better gym.”

“Brian and the entire staff are truly top-notch. They do everything they can to make the basketball experience fun and enjoyable. The games are always competitive, which keeps all of us motivated to play our best. There are also referees on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights, which makes the games even more organized and fair.
I also appreciate the extra care that Brian and the team put into the facility—like using a humidifier so the air doesn’t get too dry and the court stays safe and non-slippery.
Thank you, Brian, and the whole team for everything you do.”

“I just started working out here in November and love it! I’m feeling stronger and more flexible, and I’ve learned so much from Molly. Thanks for accommodating my crazy travel schedule and always finding a time to train me. I love this place!”
“Absolutely love it here! It is never over crowded. People mean business here. Its not a social club where folks sit around chatting the whole time, they actually come to work. They have great up to date equipment and the sauna is the bonus! Love the 24 hr easy access and staff are all friendly and helpful!”
“Best CrossFit gym in eastern Jackson county! I’ve been a member for almost 2 years. Due to great coaching and programming, they helped me fix so many of my bad habits learned from other places as well as helped me achieve multiple goals I’ve been working on for years. They care so much about their members and it shows. Follow all the protocols for Covid to help keep everyone safe. Cannot say enough great things about this gym!”

“I've been here several time for their outdoor concerts and it is always a fun time. They do a nice job. Plenty of parking. The community building itself is modern and updated. Nice swimming pool for kids and adults. Great gym for pickleball and other sports. They also have bicycling class which is awesome. Staff is very friendly. Great value for a family membership.”
“The staff is so nice and everything is always so clean! This is my favorite planet fitness and I’ve lived in a few different states with a membership. The others are incomparable. I make the drive from Blue Springs even though we have one here.”

“(Edit: looking back on this now, I realize that I was the one who didn't fully read the contract before signing; that I didn't check my statements for a couple months; and that 30 day cancellations are not abnormal. I think that John, who signed me up originally, and Rob the trainer were very helpful and it was initially a very good experience.)
(Original 2 stars review):
I had a frustrating experience with Genesis Health Clubs. When I signed up, I was told I could do a one-month membership, but I was charged for three additional months after that. Later on, I got charged again unexpectedly, even after I canceled. The cancellation policy and billing process are not very transparent, and it ended up costing me significantly more than I expected.
That being said, John Gomez, the manager, is great. He was helpful and easy to talk to, and I appreciated his professionalism. Unfortunately, the way Genesis handles payments and customer service makes it hard to trust them. If you’re considering joining, I’d recommend getting everything in writing and well understood to avoid surprises.”
“Active Strength is amazing! My daughter trains there for track and field, and I attend for strength training. It’s a welcoming, judgment-free environment that truly feels like family. The trainers are knowledgeable, personable, and fun, while also knowing how to challenge you and help you reach the next level.
I’m stronger now than I’ve been in years, and my daughter absolutely loves it too. We’ve both had an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for supportive coaching and real results.”
