Genesis Health Clubs - Lawrence North

Genesis Health Clubs - Lawrence North is a comprehensive fitness facility located minutes from the University of Kansas. The gym offers a wide range of workout equipment for every muscle group, which members describe as extensive and first-class. The venue provides a pool and a hot tub. However, members have reported significant issues with the maintenance of these aquatic amenities. Multiple accounts describe the pool as having been dirty and unclean, with visible debris and grime, though recent management changes have led to improved cleaning. The hot tub has been cited for poor chemical balance, with one member reporting severe topical dermatitis attributed to it. Cleanliness in wet areas is a noted concern, with mentions of mold and mildew on shower walls and, historically, cockroaches in the locker room and pool area.

Under new management, members report positive changes, including more thorough equipment area cleaning and timely equipment repairs. The staff receives consistent praise for being helpful, professional, and friendly, with specific commendations for managers like Tyler, Mike, Brad, and Blake. The gym also offers unlimited group fitness classes, towel service, childcare, and certified personal trainers, one of whom, Kevin, is highlighted for his professional and effective training methods. The facility caters to both long-term members and visitors, offering a convenient location and a comprehensive array of services, though experiences with membership cancellation have been described as difficult.
