There are many aspects to look at when reviewing this gym. I was fortunate to have been grandfathered in from my old 24 hour fitness days, so there have been no fees or changes in my rate since the switch to Genesis. I know the start up fee is sometimes waived or reduced with promotions but the thing to me that's a hard sell about Genesis is I hear it's a 3 year commitment. Regardless, there are many joining. With most if not all gyms, there are start up fees. With Planet Fitness, for example, they charge you a startup fee every year regardless of whether or not you cancel, which I've never understood.
As far as this particular Genesis location is concerned, it inherited the old Gold's Gym hours, so it is not open 24 hours a day like the Genesis on 39th Street in Independence. It's much more spaced out than what I was used to, which is a good thing. It's a very large gym with a lot of equipment. The contract/monthly payment aside, I can't see anyone not enjoying their workout here as long as they can get there before 11. I primarily go to the location in Independence because I'm a night owl.
