kk Williams

Nice range of equipment, wish the had more cable machines Great gym and the cheapest I've found so far

Mitch Williams

I like working out at 4am, I just can't stand the loud annoying pop music. Shoot me.

Daniel Snapp

Great location and cost of membership. Staff is great and they have some of the best trainers in town.

The Movie Show

Great low key gym. No bros or meatheads.

Tim

Best gym I've ever been a part of and it's cheaper than any comparable place. Staff is always super nice, too.

bloofloo1

Good location, dated equipment, poor lighting, kind of smells, great staff, decent pricing, not really crowded, and you can get what you need done.

Scott Cohen

My favorite workout spot

Brian

This location is very clean and well kept up. There are no hidden fees or cancellation traps. This place is great for me !

D Young

I love that the gym is 24/7 and is very clean. If you go at the right times, you’ll be able to avoid meatheads or people hogging racks for a whole hour. I see people saying in their reviews that the price is great but honestly, you could get more out of a gym for almost $50 a month. No hot tub, no sauna, limited bathroom and locker space.. The nice part about the price is that there are classes included with the membership. but they should have a cheaper option for people who don’t want the classes at all. i’ve never taken one and never will because they don’t fit my schedule or my preference but I need this gym because of how close they are to me and i can go anytime of day or night.

Sara Naatz

I love this gym. It's super affordable, and even more so if you sign up with a significant other or buddy. No annual or sneaky fees to creep up on you. Plus the cost includes classes. This particular location is especially great for people like me who want a lot of floor space to work out. The atmosphere is very laid back. The staff is great and there are very few pretentious meatheads – more "quiet hipster working out in an NPR shirt" and less "jersey shore." The only downside is the wifi at this particular location is total trash. So if you're looking to watch Netflix on the treadmill, download your episodes in advance!

Adri Luna

Great for the price. Lots of machines and classes. Want to be real? The bathrooms are adequate, the machines are good, it gets crowded but you can always find something to do or use. I really love the yoga class and biking class.

Nicholas Finzer

The people who use this gym seem to be pretty cool for the most part, and they have a good supply of equipment. Bench press can be a little hard to get during busy hours, but outside of just before/after work hours, it's usually not too busy.

J Williams

Basic in the sense that it has exactly what you need to get the job done. And then some. Loaded with equipment and machines, perhaps a bit too many, this location lends itself well to a gym as it is quite LARGE. (Inside a former strip mall lobby and shops) Spread out, it has completely seperate areas, which makes it good for several reasons - like avoiding annoying stack slammers and knucleheads. It is also kept relatively clean for such a large space. Monthly fee good and its open 24 hours which is good for when you want to avoid peak hours.

Chris Burnett

For the price and proximity, you can't beat it. Everything looks a little tired and worn out, but who cares when you're pushing "heavy" things around.

Lelon Jenkins

I really love this gym. 24hr access and location are the biggest draws for me. I also like the members here as well. The unfinished industrial space has strong character. Management is awesome and friendly. Straight forward. No fuss.

Pat Brough

Nice gym

Jarod Abel

Been a member here for a couple years. I like it.

Corey Schaadt

Super friendly staff. I don't feel nervous due to the fact that I'm not overly experienced at working out. Nobody judges and it is a judement free environment.

apresswood27

Nice, casual gym. You won't be intimidated here, but you also won't find anything too fancy or intense so if that is your thing then this is not your place. Parking can be a bit of a hassel, but service is always good and I have never experienced not being able to use a machine because of overcrowding. Also has some good rates!

Dan Johns

Try the boxing class!

Monette Chiarolanza

Gary VanRoss is an amazing trainer!!

Holly Cass

I love this gym! The friendly staff and atmosphere is a big part of why I have been going back for the last 9 months and lost 45 lbs. Great equipment, plenty of different lifting equipment and very clean!

Lilo moon

Open 24 hours that is nice for people who do not have time like me!

William Watkins

Incredible

Cullen R

Great gym! Quiet, peaceful place to come pound some iron or sweat a bad day away. Ignore that guy that gives one star because he can't read weight labels... those kinds of douchey people don't belong here.

Jon Kaleugher

Best non-meathead gym in town!

Patrick Duffey

No Meatheads.

Anna Bella

I don't expect a red carpet upon arriving or anything of that nature; just a simple hello from the staff will suffice; however, that rarely happens. I don't like the smell, it probably comes from the carpet. I don't like the lighting or lack thereof; very creepy working alone at 5:30am. I don't like that they aren't staffed 24/7. I don't like that their "gym rules" are judgmental and discriminate against women working out in a sports bra or short shorts; why does it matter what anyone wears? A woman or man should be able to wear what she/he is comfortable in; not what makes OTHERS feel comfortable. I have decided to sign up at One Life Fitness, despite the $15 increase in monthly fees because there aren't any rules discriminating against women looking hot.

Lee Spears

This location is very clean a positive workout environment and open 24 hours and I enjoy the security that you need a hand print to go in and out you want to come to a place to work out 24 hours will you don't have to worry about stress drama or any violence my gym is where it's at hope to see you there

Charlie j

not too busy most times, pretty good machine selection, 24 hours

Kyle FitzGerald

This is the best gym in KC and the best deal at half the price of the other options. I have been a member for over 7 years and the rates have never changed - there's no contract, it's month-to-month and no BS. They are all open 24 hours with handprint security. The machines are constantly being updated and they have everything you would want. The best part is the vibe: no meat heads, no idiots making a bunch of noise, low key, plenty of room and super nice staff. I could not be happier to support a local, woman owned business that sets the bar for gyms in the urban core. Oh and they have free classes!

Bryan Dorsey

Open 24 hours and typically not over crowded (in the mornings, evenings seem pretty busy)

Alton Malloy

I joined

Chris Foshee

Awesome staff, clean, plenty of equipment, good clientele and great payment options. What more could you ask from a gym?

Vincet Ryder

Best gym I've ever gone to.. Great classes and very friendly atmosphere. I usually come around when there's no one or hardly anyone. The equipment here are great and updated. The staff here is really knowledgeable and helping. I am really impressed. Will recommend this gym to anyone.

Gary Fields

It's a great place to get bun's of steel

Katie Young

I've left this gym (due to distance from my house) and come back twice because you just can't find the value and the transparency this gym offers anywhere else. While some of the equipment is outdated and a few more amenities would be nice, I have yet to find another location in KC that signs you up with consistent pricing and no contracts or hidden fees, and let's you cancel with 30 days' notice - in under 20 seconds. No proving that you've moved or begging necessary. The cardio equipment is plentiful. I never have to wait for a machine. And they really do have everything you absolutely need to get a well rounded workout in. Thanks, GymKC!

Corbin LeGrand

One of the best gym options in the KC area. Would highly recommend to others in town. Great prices and no BS fees.

Wade Burris

Love this gym.

Kirsten Overby

Gym of 6 years. I don't change for a reason.

Kam B

Love this gym!

Braniff Booker

Low key gym, good in and out workout without the pressure of it being conventional. Really dig the low lights and machine options

mike64110

24 hour accessibility

Lisa Sak

I love this place for many reasons. The first being the classes. I mean, for 40/mo or 30/month ea for a couple I can go to as many classes as I want per week. That right there is gold to me. Secondly, this isn't 24 hr fitness. And I mean that in a good way. Being inundation with meat heads does not happen at Scott. Neither does being stared at awkwardly. If you've gone to 24 you know exactly what I mean. The place doesn't get so packed that you have to take turns with anyone. I won't go anywhere else. What do you want from a machine? Because a newer one isn't going to make you look more awesome, neither is it going to build your muscle faster or do tricks. People that love Scott, they understand that concept. No, I don't feel un-safe. No there are no drive by's. That is just ridiculous.

Tricia Bushnell

Always enough equipment, even if you have to glare at the guy doing curls in the squat rack.

Grace Culler

Love this place! Month to month rates, plenty of machines available. They offer a good variety of classes.

nsbdrum

Awesome gym. I'm glad we found it. Always feel comfortable working out here.

Evan Kirsch

Nothing special but if you want a gym that's open 24/7/365... This should be your gym.

Derek Knott

Dated equipment and nobody reracks weights in the proper spots. Plates and 35's mixed in with each other, mixed up dumbells. Staff should arrange this nightly, and if they did I'd definitely rate this up another star.

Ashley Raymond

If you're looking for a mega gym with posing mirrors, this isn't the place. I'm returning to weight training after years of being a sloth and couldn't be happier with GYMkc. They have enough cardio machines that I never have to wait. Equipment and free weights are clean and we'll maintained. As a whole, people are friendly. The 24 hour access in midtown is a major perk as well. Overall, very happy with theGYMkc!

Kansas City Taxi

The only place you want to be for early morning steps, weights, or a Jog. Frequent classes to get involved with and positive trainers.
