City Gym KC

Was traveling for work and spent four days in Kansas City. Found that City Gym KC was open early so I checked it out. They have a very friendly and helpful staff. Great selection of free weights, machines, and cardio equipment. Very reasonable daily rates. Will be my gym of choice when traveling to KC!

Edit: See response from City Gym below! Thanks for the change it’s very much appreciated! *leaving the original review just for context but changed to 5 Gym is solid, really enjoyed going there but won’t be returning as a member. Got sent out for a 6 month deployment and wanted to remain a member for when I got back, so I sent an email asking about pausing my membership while I was away. Told it was $20 a month but only up to 3 months. Membership wouldn’t end until April so really for 5 months it would be the same as repaying the enrollment fee.. but either way was told my only option is to cancel and repay the enrollment fee upon returning. Feel it’s more of a reasonable request rather than a special favor to accommodate a military member. 2 other gyms I’ve been a part of in the past had no issues doing this as long as I showed them proof of the trip.

I’m not a member but popped in to take some yoga classes from Sedona. I love the atmosphere, classes & equipment options, and if I didn’t have another gym, I’d join. I’m a swimmer too, so not in my future. But I will highly recommend it to anyone considering it. Great job!

My husband and I moved to KC in 2020 and joined this gym because it’s close to our home. We are in our 50’s and have been members at a few different gyms in our lives. This is by far the very best! Great atmosphere - bright and very clean. The employees are professional, knowledgeable and super helpful. Now on to the classes. . . WOW! Absolutely amazing workouts for all different levels. AND so much fun. The instructors are very encouraging and inclusive, offering variations for all levels of ability. Thank you Cindy B, Justine and Emily for keeping us motivated and helping us become so strong! This truly is a family atmosphere. We love CGKC!

This gym is everything you could want from a local gym. Friendly staff and trainers, plenty of equipment and turf space, as well as tons of classes. I recently trained with Ryan Bade and it has changed the way I will workout forever. I had never taken working out too seriously, but decided to take action. I worked out with Ryan 5 times a week for 3 months. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I'm more confident building my own workout routines and have proper form for the various compound lifts. If you're thinking about finally jumping in, I highly recommend Ryan!

Greatly enjoying this gym so far. Very friendly staff and communal atmosphere. It has everything you need but a seated/standing calf and back hyperextension machine would really round it off. They’ve done a fantastic job with the space they have but these could be easy/valuable additions in my opinion. Wishlist aside, I’d certainly recommend this gym to anyone in the area. Edit: Seated calf acquired.

Love this gym especially in the morning when the sun is shining through the glass. This gym has an awesome space, huge turf area, free weights, a few racks, cables and machines. The staff is friendly and open to answering questions. Great gym in the heart of Waldo.

Joined this gym during the thick of the pandemic last year - it has been a huge boost, both physically and mentally, getting through the challenges of day-to-day life while navigating through a pandemic. The staff is so friendly and welcoming when I come in the mornings before work; fellow members are always courteous and everyone has plenty of space and time to get their workouts in. I love that this place always has a positive, local vibe, and they really do appreciate their members and the community as a whole. Machines, dumbbells, and showers are top-notch as well. Keep up the great work!

This gym offers a variety of group classes as well as open gym. The cancellation policy is very reasonable, you just need to cancel 30 days prior to your last day.

City Gym is a fantastic local gym with a wide range of class offerings. The space and the equipment are well maintained and the people that work and work out there are all very friendly. There is a strong sense of community. For me, the class offerings are the best part. They provide a great workout in a short period of time. The trainers really care about the attendees' improvement and offer advice on technique and modifications. Overall just a great place to belong.
