Genesis in Hutchinson Kansas

I just wanted to say a few things about Genesis in Hutchinson, this is my personal observation and I'm not being paid to do this. My first exposure to this facility was when Mike asked us to come tape an exercise video several months ago. Below are a couple of pics from that video, it was big, it was open and it had a warehouse feel to it.


I was shocked when we returned to tape the Boot Camp video. I couldn't believe that this was the same facility. I'll have to get better shots of the whole thing because the pictures below only touch on how nice this place is. The first thing you see when you walk in is an energy bar that usually has several people in their workout clothes sitting and re-energizing with their favorite energy drink. Off the front lobby you'll find the treadmills, stepping machines and the like...

Childcare is also available and you'll find this accessible in the front lobby/energy bar area. Next you find the weight room. This is huge!!! With about any strengthening machine available...

Behind the windows above the weight room is the spinning room with the exercise bikes.

Off the side of the weight room are the luxurious locker rooms, there's even widescreen TV in the entry room where you can sit and relax! On to the back straight from the entrance is the exercise room where most of our taping is done for Boot Camp. To the right of the entrance shown below is a sunken racquetball room.

Waaay in the back, past the weight room are tanning beds, secluded and very quiet.

Can you tell that I was REALLY impressed? This place is absolutely beautiful. If you get the chance you really should stop in and see for yourself.

I'm jealous! Even before the tornado it was a 30 mile drive one way to the nearest gym, and it's pretty tiny!

Hey, maybe you could contact Genesis about building in Greensburg. Maybe that's something that you could suggest with your new power. :)

Anita said...

LOL... maybe so... Are they environmentally friendly?? ;)

I could see that as a challenge to present to Genesis, could they build a Green facility? Sounds like something healthy to do.

Anita said...

It does, Doesn't it? The city council is so controling of any businesses that want to come in right now that it's a real hassle... They're chasing away businesses instead of tyring to be accomondating...

Moonshadow said...

Sounds like somebody needs to remind the city council that without the "city" they will have nothing to "council"!

Anita said...

They aren't listening to the people at all... They have forgotten who put them on that council... and who is taking them ALL off, next election!!

I would just like to say that GENESIS likes to take away hard earned money!!!

Moonshadow said...

Genesis can't take any money that you hadn't agreed to give them. They're a business like any other place, if you feel they have done anything illegal then you need to take it in front of a judge. Otherwise, pay your bills and make sure you understand your contract before you sign it.
