It's much more affordable than I thought it would be. Everyone is nice, helpful, and no one is staring at you while you're working out. The machines are pretty cool, they even offer Netflix on most of the screens! Super cool in my opinion.

I had never been to a """grown up""" gym before. I had only worked out in a hole-in- the-wall gym (best coaches though), I was pleasantly suprised with the knowledge and patience staff had with a newbie. I like the idea of having the juices, supplements, smoothies, etc available right there when you have fitness on your brain. Have professional knowledge available as well. I also appreciate the fact that they have childcare available, and it's right in the middle of the gym. I can bring my older boy to run off some of his crazies. ♡ The first day after returning to the gym, I greatly appreciated the fact that there was a ramp to get into the front door. My legs were jello. Facility is KEPT this isn't a dirty place. At all.
The only real negatives (which are easily corrected). They seem shorthanded. The workers are friendly and know their stuff, but it's obvious they are stretched thin. Especially the front desk girl. (Could be the time of day I'm going though).
On a preferance level, They don't offer any Olympic style lifting options; no wooden/nerf platforms> which means no rubber weights, for clean and jerks and snatches. Haven't seen any Womens barbells(35lb/15kilo). They may be getting this stuff, idk. Not a big deal, but to pay for the best, I was hoping for a little something for ALL fitness styles. Nonetheless, I'm very pleased. Some of the Genesis gyms offer tanning, this one does not. Not really a negative, I thought they did when I signed up. I'm still pleased !
Good Job Genesis!
