Genesis Health Clubs - Topeka Southwest

Best Gym to come to
Mar 28th, 2024

I want to start this post by saying that the gym experience itself was great. Loved the atmosphere. However, im giving this a one star review because management tried to rope me into a year long subscription to the gym, and even after I tried to cancel the month to month one, they still charged me for the month after. Refused to reimburse me. This gym is a scam designed to juice you for every dollar they can before you get out of the system entirely

This Genesis location is great for everyone. From the basketball court to tennis courts, to an outdoor pool and lots of options for a beginner like me to feel comfortable getting my workout in. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. If you're not sure where to start, ask for Josh. He does a great job of making someone feel comfortable to join and can even help with training and nutrition. I think my favorite feature is the locker room. You don't need a lock, they have them built in. Also the steam room is great. Couldn't recommend joining this location more.

I went today to pick up a free 7 day guest pass as it was offered online. When I showed up the first guy was quite polite to me but the second gentleman who was stocky and pushy the entire time told me I wasn't allowed to get the 7 day guest pass for people to try out the gym because I'd "tried it out" *full disclosure: my younger brother a couple years ago had a membership through Ernest Spencer so we talked about going to the gym all the time but I never actually went with him and they can check their records of visitation and would see my only 1 visit ever at the location on 37th Street in Topeka with my girlfriend a few weeks prior. With that being said, I told them I'd had a knee injury and a seizure in the last year so I was just interested in trying to gym out myself before her and I got a membership together (the pushy gent said only married couples were allowed to get a joint membership which is really strange given my brother had me and my dad on his membership several years prior...) Anyways the pushy one told me repeatedly he'd "wave the 200$ enrollment fee and all I'd have to pay today was 39.99 (a number he pulled out of nowhere just wrote it down on the sheet and told me it was a processing fee and that my membership fees... We're gonna be super discounted to 49.99 a month, I mean come the heck on, I'm a normal person who just wants to workout and not get harassed about all this whooplah when I literally signed up for the pass online without ever talking to someone about getting a membership yet. Will probably get one at the location in Leavenworth because the employees there aren't pushy thanks for trying though, I'm just not interested in ridiculously pushy like that.
