Having turned 50, and not being in a gym in over 30 years, apparently I was saved from the disappointment of other gyms. What I HAD done was live a life that let me become 100lbs overweight, with high blood pressure. I wanted to do something to change that and kept telling myself to find someone to uncomplicate the nutrition information to eat properly, and find a trainer to get a good workout designed for me. A story popped up on Facebook about Hailee, her gym and a program called the Real 30. It sounded to good to be true, learning nutrition AND a workout routine (yes, Im a bit of skeptic). But after a 20 minute phone call with Hailee about how it works, what it involves, and what she and her trainers promise to teach and guide us through, I was convinced it might work for me. I (and subsequently my wife with me) would have to be the ones to make it work. And Hailee was so confident in their program, she promised us a refund if we werent happy at the end. At the completion of the 30 day program, I had done two group H.I.I.T classes, and one 30-minute lifting session with a my trainer per week. We had learned the Paleo eating lifestyle and followed it completely. I lost 24lbs, and my blood pressure was down 12 points. Five months later, Im now down 45 lbs. I work out with my personal trainer twice a week, and do a H.I.I.T class. When a 50 year, over weight guy can walk in to a group class with a bunch of people probably half his age who have stayed in shape, and no one feels uncomfortable... Thats the atmosphere that Hailee and her team have brought to this gym. When I can work with a trainer who makes me feel comfortable enough to share the fact that Im scared Ill injure myself because its been so long, and she explains the fundamentals, helps me understand how proper form rather than trying to use brute strength will help me build muscle faster, thats what keeps me coming back three times per week. When our original Real 30 group cant make it to one of the regularly scheduled classes, they choose a night during the week when they can get together and do their own workout class. Thats the community spirit I dont think youll find elsewhere. You can get a free week pass to City Gym. I highly recommend you try it. If youre new like I was, and dont know exactly how to get started, call the Launch Coordinator. As my wife said, its not a sales tour, it helped her understand everything they offer, and what would work for her (having now lost 32 lbs and three sizes herself!) Just dont do it if youre under contract somewhere else, because youll regret you ever signed it... :)

City Gym KC has helped me overcome my fear of gyms, exercise, and the intimidating and ever-changing world of "getting healthy." After trying to walk into other gyms and immediately feeling like a loser and SO out of my element, I had given up on this world. And when Hailee Bland Walsh assured me this was a different place with a different attitude, I gave her a skeptical look and went in expecting to have the same, old experience. I am a convert! I cannot express how grateful I am to City Gym and the staff for helping educate me, working gently with me, creating small and large successes, and being my biggest cheerleaders. I recommend this place to my friends and family all the time. I drive 30 minutes each way to this gym; there are others closer but none that provide the service, care, commitment, and community that this place does. I highly recommend getting involved in one of their 30 day or 90 day programs where they help you think through food, the science of working out, and provide all the tools for success. I also find that having a personal trainer has been a BIG key to my success and continued improvement (Thank you, Hailee!).

City Gym is by far the best gym Ive been a member of in Kansas City. After previously using some of the "big" name gyms in the area I decided to give City Gym a shot, and Im glad I did. The staff is very friendly and always greets you by name, including the owner Hailee. It is more than just a gym. They are committed to helping you achieve your goals whether that be for weight loss, increasing strength, or just increasing your overall well-being. The atmosphere is intimate but not crammed, all the equipment is new, and the place is always clean. They have a wide array of classes from zumba to spin to yoga and all the classes are free with membership (as far as I know). On top of classes they frequently have programs to help you achieve weight loss goals and aid in making a healthy lifestyle change including menu guides, grocery lists, recipes, one-on-one assessments to track progress, and work-out/lifting guides. Whether you are looking for classes, health improvement programs, or just a place to work-out, City Gym is the place to go.

Having gone to City Gym since it first opened, I have to say this place really is different. Sure it helps that its in walking distance from my home, but really what keeps me going back is the people. I am not a "fitness buff" and I have been put off in the past from places because of the feeling of not fitting in, but at City Gym, the owner and the staff and the trainers welcome one and all - and dont ask me where Ive been as much as welcome me back. And of course the fact that there is no contract, the classes are included and the hours are ideal, makes it "easy" to get there. Spin classes are my favorite and the upcoming expansion of the gym, its only going to get better. I have to comment on the aesthetics of the place, its just a nice place, the look of the gym is reflective of the experience. Highly recommend.

Going to City Gym is much like going to Cheers where everybody knows your name, from the staff to the members. I look forward to going to the gym as it will not be an anonymous experience and can be very social if you want it to be. Everyone is encouraging to each other and its a positive atmosphere. The classes are great and at convenient times. My favorite are the spin classes where I know I will get a fantastic workout. The personal trainers are wonderful, will help you reach your goal, and are very knowledgeable. Ive been seeing Josh for two years and Im at a point I would never have been able to reach on my own or thought possible. He pushes me and I just get stronger and stronger. I highly recommend City Gym and should be tried before you head out to a cold, big box gym.

Ive been to a couple gyms before but I always felt intimidated and judged by the really fit people working out there. This was not the case here; I felt very welcomed by the staff along with everyone else here. Ive yet to see a stereotypical meathead type, instead I see lots of normal people of all shapes and sizes working out and getting healthy. I worked out with a trainer (Dustin) for a month who was excellent at not only showing me lifting techniques buy also explaining why he was having me do them and how to keep progressing on my own. After a month and a half Ive lost 20 lbs and am almost a quarter of the way to my goal. For the first time ever, I love going to the gym and its 100% because of the acceptance here.
