I talked…read morewith management who said they were going to take care of the issue and nothing else happened Decided to call corporate hoping that they may be able to take care of these issues. Went in to work out and had one of the front desk people come up to me mid workout and tell me that my membership has been canceled. I had little and none interaction with this person with the exception of a smug attitude. I would look for a different fitness center because they will promise you anything to get you to sign the paper and then the follow through is nothing The staff used to be good, but they have really gone downhill. Save your money and go somewhere where they actually do care about members and customer service because this is not the place.

I usually go to Doling, but I had to go to the dentist today and his office is nearby. This gym…read moredoes have a lot more to offer than my normal gym, and it seems twice the size. The area is very open, and even when the parking lot is full the building doesn't seem that way. They have a walking track, basketball court, break area, pool, aerobics, rock wall, and full weight area. The good; I love that this place is so big, and that it doesn't seem packed. Their weight room is extensive, and has plenty of free weights and machines to fit any need. A rock wall who else has that?! And a few nice places to just relax. The bad; The majority of weight machines have seen better day's. Lot's are rusted, and cracked. Some of the weights don't seem to accurate. Also the track is a bit narrow; you really can't walk with more than one other person. And if two people are slow it's hard to pass them on the straight aways. I also noticed today that some people were running full-court basketball. Sure they had enough people, but this might be an issue if you just wanted to shoot some hoops on a Saturday. I also didn't notice any side activities like there are at my regular gym; pool, table tennis, and video games. I also hate that the use gobs of paper towels to clean the machines, what a waste "IMO" All in all its a nice gym, and serves its purpose. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Maybe I just am use to my gym. ;)

I am also a Silver Sneaker member but today I came with my granddaughters who are out of school. The older ladies working the front desk acted like it was such an inconvenience to wait on us. Then proceeded to let us know that none of the amenities for children are available until after 4 so that older members can enjoy it. Even the lifeguards were grumpy! School is out and kids should be able to enjoy the facilities! Isn't that what parks are for? What a shame! I have family that retired from the park board and they are appalled too. I was also disgusted by the restrooms and changing room. They smelled of urine terribly!

I was a member for six years from the old days when the location was still managed under Ozark…read moreFitness. There are a variety of positives and negatives for Genesis that ultimately come out to a mixed bag of good and bad. The location is right off of Battlefield and National, and is very easy to access. However, the parking lot is far too small for the busy times of the day, and it may be difficult to find a spot during the afternoon prime time workout hours. The interior was completely renovated when Genesis took over the gym, and the locker rooms, cardio class areas, and upstairs treadmill and exercise bike sections were completely redesigned and are very well maintained. Honestly, the locker rooms look more like the bathrooms for a fancy hotel than a gym. The gym caters very well to the serious powerlifter or bodybuilder with a wide variety of machines and free weights, including several squat racks and a dumbbell rack ranging all the way up to the very impressive pair of 160's, although much of the equipment is rather old and was first used well over a decade ago. Because of the age of some of the machines, it's not unusual for some of them to be out of order for several weeks at a time when something breaks. The hours have gotten worse in recent years. The gym used to be open 24/7 and closed only on Christmas Day, which was fantastic for the college student with a late schedule. However, they now operate more closely to the day shift industry standard, and tend to close early on the weekends and close completely on certain holidays.They tend to close very early and open late with restricted hours the day before and after a holiday, so you have to pay close attention to their notifications. The price has also sharply increased. What was once a cheap gym membership is now a big monthly commitment that requires a significant bank account. They prefer that you sign a contact for a two year membership, although this can be automatically renewed without any input from you. When I moved out of state, management wanted me to transfer my contract to someone else, despite me not seeing any paperwork in over six years. The gym sells a variety of supplements and other fitness products, although the high prices are usually beaten by buying them somewhere else. They have a smoothie bar by the front desk, but again they tend to be overpriced. Overall, Genesis is a good gym with a few drawbacks. Expensive, and with a restrictive schedule and membership contracts, but very nice with a beautiful interior, and it's well worth the visit if you live or work nearby.

Still the restrooms are a mess, lockers always full, occasional raw sewage on the floor in the locker room, steam room NEVER works and at least the equipment is always broken. How hard is it to replace a carabiner or a simple roll of toilet paper for peak hours? There are two rolls on the fixture, can we have ONE that has TP on it and a locking stall would be nice. On the plus side, they keep the locker rooms open while the sewer backs up. Classy. Kudos. I have worked out at gyms all over the country. This one could be OK. Many Genesis clubs are nice! Just a complete lack of caring is endemic of this location. Like it's cursed.

The men's room, also, was satisfactory, and I had no problems during my time in the gym. I would gladly go there again. My thanks goes out to all associated with this business. I am grateful for, and have benefited from, your work and service.

Weight room is bigger than some, with 3 racks plus Smith, a cable machine, leg presses, etc. Only thing I didnt see was an EZ curl bar, but no big deal. They also have bumper plates and rubberized mats on the floor for deadlifts. (They also have lots of sign threatening charges for "dropping weights," not re-racking your weights, or "leaning weights against the wall.") So be warned, I suppose. I haven't had much interaction with staff here, but from what I can recall, they've been friendly. It's not the shiniest or prettiest AF I've been to, but it's got it where it counts. They've also got a vending machine with drinks. Would definitely come back.

This is it, the gym that has something for everyone!…read more Convenient location downtown, both on and off street parking, and very secure (member key fab required for entry, cameras in public areas, etc). Your first impression will be receiving a friendly greeting from their staff at the counter. When they aren't helping welcome members in, they can be seen actively cleaning so everything is spotless from workout areas to the bathrooms and locker rooms. I don't know how many square feet the facility is, but the layout is great in that workout rooms are divided out so it's not so open and intimidating as other big box gyms I've been to. Whether you want to workout on your own, work with a personal trainer, try CrossFit, powerlifting, or even body building, they have you covered. It feels like a family environment to be greeted by name by the friendly staff. I enjoy feeling welcomed and not intimidated like other places I've tried. Get down there and try out a free session. Or join them at one of their community events or competitions. We recently enjoyed their CASA fundraiser and loved seeing their small business give back to their community

This is not a gym w/ all the bells and whistles (sauna, CrossFit stuff, etc), but it also comes w/o all the expense! This franchise is relatively new to Springfield and another location is currently being built in town. There is tons of cardio equipment - treadmills, steppers, and elliptical and decent amount of weights. There is also a "circuit" type area set up off to the side. The massage bed and tanning (if you tan) are added perks. If I lived in Springfield, I would likely join.

Well, basically I will no longer be purchasing anything inside Planet Fitness if I even choose to maintain member ship status. I will bring my own water, and/or tanning supplies.

One of my room mates, a female says she cancelled and is inquiring at Club Genesis for an alternate workout place. It is quite likely I may do the same.

The Ozark Community Center, or OC for short, is a great resource for Ozark and the surrounding…read morearea. The facility is a green certified building and includes an indoor aquatic center, basketball/volleyball courts, fitness center with weights and cardio machines, fitness classes like yoga and Zumba, a massage therapist and personal trainers, and meeting rooms. It also houses the Ozark park board, so it's the place to sign up for team sports like soccer and baseball. Daily childcare is available at the OC while you work out, and they also host day camps, summer camps, and kids night out events. The OC is also a trail head for a trail that runs west along the Finley river toward the downtown area and east through a small arboretum and into the woods. My family has spent quite a bit of time at the OC doing everything from swim lessons and birthday parties to day camps and volleyball games. The facility is always very clean. The kids love the pool and have always had a great experience with the swim lessons and sports leagues that we've participated in. The day camps and summer camps are always well organized and well staffed. The only negative I can list is that they seem to be disorganized on the operations side at times. I have friends who have registered and paid for events/lessons/sports only to be told that there is no room for their kids. We had a membership, and when it expired, there was no notification or invitation to renew. As a small business owner, I contacted the gentleman in charge of team sports to see if there were sponsorship opportunities and was told that they didn't really have anything. It's not often that I call an organization to see if I can give them some money and they say, "nah. not interested." I've also noticed that the member check in is at an unmanned desk. It makes me wonder how many people just walk in and use the facility without paying, or just use their friend's membership card to make the machine go "beep". Overall, I think the OC is a great facility. I would love to see them tidy things up a bit on the back side so that it can continue to provide great services to our community.

My previous review complained about their policy of requiring a credit card to book a free class…read moreand my hesitance to do so. I decided on a workaround. I used a visa gift card to book my free class. And I really liked the class, they were actually doing 2 free classes at that point in time, so I liked both classes. After the second I signed up for their cheapest membership which was 4 classes/month at $59. Then they ran a thing called Hell Week, where you got a free t-shirt if you did X out of X workouts in a week, I think it was like 5 of 7. This required me to buy more classes, but I got sucked into the challenge. And it was hard, but it was good. So I bumped up to their next level, 8 classes/month for $100. So I was going about 2xs per week. I'm a 38 yr old guy who hasn't really consistently worked out since high school. I had to kind of ease into this and make sure it worked with my schedule. But the workouts worked for me. The coaches work for me. I like the motivation. I like just showing up and having someone tell me what to do. They always show modifications, and I've never had anyone make me feel weak for the size dumbell I pick up, or modified sit-ups because my back hurts. I've increased my stamina and endurance on the treadmills (when I tried running outside last summer I kept getting bad shin splints, the coaches helped me with how to work those out, but the short bursts on the treads mean I don't get the shin splints very often anyways.) I asked the Coach Theo a few weeks ago about signing up for a 5k, and he encouraged me to do so, said I'm running almost that far on the treads in a class, and that I could totally do it. So I signed up for the Reentry & Recovery Fresh Start 5k last weekend and I ended up finishing far before my goal, knowing I could have actually run a little faster, and I bewilderingly won a medal, 2nd place in my age/gender division. It was an amazing feeling. I'm feeling way more strong, fit, energized. I love that there is a kind of team mentality but that it's also about me and my goals and pushing myself and not about anyone else. It's a great way to clear my head and a great start to my day. I'm now signed up for the unlimited classes for the next 6 months and I'm going like 4-5 times per week. You do have to use one of their brand of heart monitors, there's an arm one, a chest strap that's a little cheaper, and I think they're coming out with one that communicates with the Apple Watch? You can borrow one for the free class, rent one if you want each class during the first month if you're checking it out, but it's more cost effective to buy one eventually. Because of the 30 day cancelation policy, basically anytime you decided you want to quit you'll still have to pay for 1 more month. And they also have like 10 class packs. They want you to come in and try the class and then they'll explain the contract stuff to you, but it's not super high pressure. The people are chill and cool. There's a transformation challenge thing coming up in January that involves photos and weigh-ins and cash prize for percentage of weight loss.

It's something to be aware of--unexpected cancellations can happen without warning. Regarding ownership, I personally did not have the best experience.
