    This Gym is the best!!!! Is always clean, there’s always space to train, they have a sauna, so many classes and they have Yoga classes that are super good, all the coaches are knowledgeable!!!! Everyone is very welcoming and they help you if you have any questions about how to use the equipment, which is amazing. The owners are always in the gym working in it, fixing stuff, making it better. Love this place!!!! And is a local business!!!!

    This is the best kept secret in Johnson county!! The new owners have done an amazing job with this facility and are continuing to do even more!! It's clean, friendly, well equipped and lots of parking! The best part for me...the group classes. There is a large variety of classes at a wide range of times. Tasha rocks! The instructors have been there forever and are awesome leaders. I have a YMCA five minutes from me but I drive 25 minutes to Shawnee three to four times a week. It's THAT great! They even have on site massages!! Please give it a try, call a friend and come join the fun while improving your health.

    EXCELLENT VALUE for the membership. I've used many gyms over the years and Element ranks as one of the best! The staff are welcoming and always helpful. The full schedule of fitness classes in their TWO studios is impressive, something there for everyone. Selection of equipment is very good. Indoor track with large infield area for stretching and "grass drills". I always look forward to my workouts. Certified personal trainers on staff. LOVE this gym!

    I was visiting the area from out of state, and purchased a day pass to attend Zumba with Ester. From the front desk, to the instructor everyone was so nice and welcoming!! Ester was one of the best Zumba instructors’ class I have ever attended and I have gone to over 4K Zumba classes! She cued so we knew the next move and had a wide range of world music, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Will definitely return during my next visit!

    I had been working out at the gym for a few months. I had some elbow issues pop up. For my birthday, I told my wife I wanted to get some training sessions to make sure I was exercising properly, using the correct amount of weight and form. Plus, I needed help on flexibility. The staff gave me a fitness assessment and assigned a trainer to me. Pam has been working with me for a couple months now. I have seen improvements in my flexibility which is the biggest surprise. Plus, I've gained strength and stamina. And no more elbow pain! The gym has everything I need to improve my health and fitness. I highly recommend their services.

    I came in the other day and I am not impressed. I found out about Element Fitness via a flyer and decided to give them a shot, oh how TRULY disappointed I am. They charged me $15 for a guest pass, and not to mention, a $250 sign-up fee! I decided to use their free towel service and spent a majority of my first impression trying to search for a towel that was not stained. The lack of care and sanitization is apparent. Never again! I'm better off working out at Planet Fitness.

    I have been going to Element Fitness for over a year and I have nothing but positive experiences with everyone down there! The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with questions and equipment. The workout areas stay clean and there's a wonderful lounge area and bar to fulfill your post workout desires! Would recommend for anyone into casual or serious workouts! Go check them out!!!

    I started going to this gym over 8 months ago. The environment is super welcoming and I have met some of my best friends here. The layout is great for people of all levels of athleticism and identities. Anytime I needed something or had questions the Managment always had their door open. If you’re sick of impersonal/intimidating gyms, I highly recommend.

    This fitness center has been in Lenexa for about 30 years. It was part of the community. It made it thru the pandemic, only closing down during the state required months. It definitely needed updating and an influx of money - a large part of the membership is seniors who take advantage of the Silver Sneakers program that reimburses the club thru Medicare. I am not familiar with that process or how ling the lag time is on reimbursement to the club, but I know some members have been with the club since it opened! The owner finally gave up and sold it, selling the pool before members were able to get a bid together to buy the whole club (as was told to me.) The pool needed significant upgrades/repairs, and it was separated from the club and leased to a dog training group. That pool was a lifeline for me for 8+ years. I took advantage of the 88° 4ft- 6ft deep water for walking as well as took water aerobics from some amazing and caring instructors who became friends. It is really unfortunate that the club couldn't remain "whole." I understand the new owners are updating equipment and the workout areas as they can. It has gone from bright lime green to bright orange with no more tv monitors over the treadmills, but that pool and its classes had become a sanctuary for many people whose health prohibited them higher impact exercise. The club is open and has changed its focus to encourage a younger clientele- very understandable - but the pool is severely missed. Maybe someday it will be folded back into the club on the other side of the wall.

    Element Fitness provides a clean, spacious, welcoming gym environment. The new owners have worked so hard making improvements, and have more planned. As a mom, I am grateful for the childcare at Element Fitness. My daughter gets excited about going to Element Fitness, and doesn't want to leave when it is time for pickup. As a matter of fact, she refers to Element Fitness as "our gym." As a fitness newbie, the set up and atmosphere of Element has been a gift. It is cool & inspiring to see the range of fitness journeys going on at the same time. As a person with a chronic illness that sometimes has to use a walker, the set up at Element is a gift! I do not struggle with navigating the gym. I am still able to get to the things I need for my workout, also the track is spacious enough for me to walk on it with my walker without impeding another's use of the track.

    This place has a great atmosphere. You feel welcome as soon as you walk in the door by the staff & motivated for your workout. They continuously keep improving the gym and keep it very clean! Definitely a great spot to workout!

    Best selection for free weights in the area for the value. You'd pay alot more going somewhere else, and wouldn't get the same training experience. They also have a machine for every muscle group and plenty of treadmills if that's more your thing. A very nice local feel to it, while maintaining professionalism and cleanliness. Lots of renovations in the works too! If you're looking for a great gym, this one won't disappoint.

    Hunter is my personal trainer & is FABULOUS!!! I have seen a major improvement in my physique, not to mention feeling stronger & healthier!! She knows the exact areas that I need work. Also my total cholesterol count has gone down, which I have been working on. She also gives me tips on nutrition & good eating habits.🤗 The gym is looking so great w all it’s improvements. The new equipment is wonderful! Look forward to coming here & working out. Can’t wait to see the new locker rooms, when they are finished.

    I’ve been coming here since I’ve moved here in February, and it’s pretty sick. I’ve tried multiple gyms before I found this one (I’d rather work out in a beehive than go to Genesis again) and this one is the best. Since I’ve signed up there have been many new renovations, and the people (both employees and customers) are super nice. I usually go mid afternoon and I never have to wait for equipment. Looking forward to new the Sauna coming soon too!

    The new equipment is top notch! Great place to hit a workout and the staff is next level! Got to get tips from Hunter and she definitely knows what she’s talking about! Was able to focus more on what I needed than some generic plan most gyms hit you with. Cannot wait to go back!

    I recently joined Element Fitness KC because of the small boutique gym feel without the cost associated with a boutique gym. Even during the peak hours, it never feels crowded. There are multiple spaces that can be utilized no matter the exercise. I normally don’t take classes at gyms but I tried out 2 classes; Werq and BodyCombat, both taught my Marissa and I love it! The energy and vibe she brings into each class is never below 110% which makes me want to try harder every time I go. By far, Element fitness is one of the best gyms I’ve joined. Plus, I love that they have this inside turf.

    This gym is great for everyone! Friendly staff and nice facility. As of today I found out our great gym is closing next month. I hope there is some way, some how this will not happen. I love this place. My trainer Cassandra has helped me so much and I can't imagine going anywhere else.

    Plenty of turf space to do what I need as an athlete. Great coaches to guide me on my program and friendly staff when entering! The protein shakes from the cafe after a workout are a great convenience.

    I love Element! 🫶🏽 The environment is welcoming and I feel like I have a place there! And if you’re looking for a dependable, kind, loving, amazing trainer to help you meet your needs, you need to contact Hunter! I have seen how much she genuinely cares for her clients and that is someone everyone needs in their fitness journey. 😘

    I love Element! They are so welcoming and relaxed there, I wasn't intimidated to start working out. They have great specials when you first join, getting free meetings with trainers and a free message! Loved the training sessions. I go during the day and it's never crowded. I've gone on some weekends and weeknights and it's great as well.

    Their pool is 88 degrees for people with arthritis. It is open for all age swimmers at noon and in the evenings.They have many different machines and weights to work out with. There is a small track that is usually busy, although the carpet should be replaced on it and throughout the rest of the building. They have several types of water exercise classes in addition to spin and yoga classes. People may make appointments for massages. There is also a staffed nurse for the little ones.

    I’ve trained with the owner for a few years and this is the best spot he has had in KC. Pretty cool place for athletes to train for their season. Great place to hang around after my workout.

  • 2/5 Qasim A. 5 years ago on Google
    The gym is cheap but in dire need of updates. The metal free weights are rusting, the pool makes the whole gym smell like chlorine, no bumper plates for deadlifts, only one squat rack which is always occupied and why have a pool if you don’t have a swimsuit dryer in the locker room?. The men’s bathroom is always disgusting, the urinals would make you puke. If you are going to this gym then you are either dedicated or new in town.

    I joined this gym about 6 months ago and absolutely love it! I like that its not a major chain and has a "family type" atmosphere. Karen is always so kind and the management has always been helpful. It's also very affordable and my 3 year old goes to the child care room often and the staff in there is amazing as well. Awesome place!

    I’ve been going to element around 3 years, the new owners have renovated since I’ve been here, and the gym looks absolutely amazing. The staff are very kind and welcoming, as well as the fellow members.

  • 2/5 Sam H. 1 year ago on Google
    Paid for a day pass ($15) to come back and try one of the current yoga classes. The yoga room was very dirty, with lots of dirt, hair, and pieces of foam on the floor. There was even a dead bug sitting in the middle of the floor. Not somewhere I wanted to put my yoga mat or walk around barefoot. Disappointed that the new ownership isn’t keeping the place clean.

    Element Fitness is in a league of its own! The leadership team clearly has a genuine passion for changing lives through health & fitness. I stopped in for a tour & the staff was greeting everyone by name. Great facility full of high quality equipment. If I lived south of the river this is where I would go!

    I am visiting Kansas City for work for two weeks from Denver and looking for a gym to work out in. The staff was super friendly and helpful and offered me an amazing deal and made me feel like home 10 out of 10 would recommend and join this gym if I lived in KC

    I’ve been here for the last three Saturdays for a massage with Carrie and she is amazing! Best massage I’ve ever had, which says a lot since I have only been able to experience the prenatal massage. Friendly staff that welcomes me every time and the cleanliness of the gym are both worth pointing out as well! I definitely recommend checking out the gym under which I hear is under new ownership!

  • 5/5 Laura C. 9 months ago on Google
    Everyone is welcoming here! No matter who you are or where you may be in you fitness journey, they make you feel welcome. The equipment is nice, it’s never too crowded, and I love the classes.

  • 5/5 Leah B. 2 years ago on Google
    I have worked out here for years and have always appreciated this gym because it was not too large, nor too small and the group fitness classes are amazing. I am so excited now with the updates and the expanded hours. The new equipment, renovations, towel service and so much more are now finally allowing the gym to shine and raise the standard of a gym that already had so much going for it.

  • 5/5 Devin A. 2 years ago on Google
    The new free weight and functional training areas are awesome! The big tv is a little unnecessary but definitely cool to have between sets! Definitely recommend people try this place out!

  • 3/5 Briana A. 9 months ago on Google
    I enjoy coming into this gym almost daily, the associates are friendly and I always feel good about the amount space available to get my workout in, but it’s been several weeks now and they have yet to clean up the mess from the ceiling leaks, yellow tape, and the sitting buckets of water that honestly gross me outt(patrons throwing their wet naps into them🤢) , it’s starting to smell moldy in areas and I’m noticing flies hanging around. please turn this around

  • 3/5 Patrick W. 10 months ago on Google
    Great gym. Owners have done a great job renovating the place. This is day 2 of no one showing up to open the gym on time.

  • 1/5 Bob K. 11 months ago on Google
    Back in December they stopped offering massage services which I had used numerous times. I have 2 massage gift certificates and 1 facial gift certificate that I paid for totaling $197. I have called numerous times to ask about a refund, the person at the desk took messages but no one has ever returned my calls. You can draw your own conclusions about doing business with these people. I would not recommend them at all. As an addendum to this review, subsequent to posting it, I received a call from the owners who were unaware that I had tried contacting them previously and apologized for the lack of communication. Although I was not happy with the final outcome, I understand their position and do appreciate getting a prompt call once they read my review and I consider this matter resolved. Overall they have really upgraded the facility and I wish them good fortune.

  • 5/5 Greg B. 5 years ago on Google
    I've belonged to this gym for almost the entire time I've lived in the KC area (a little over a year) and have loved it. I particularly enjoy working with my personal trainer, Tasha Ruble. Tasha is just the right mix of badass motivator and sympathetic to the aches and pains of my 65 year-old body. I have weekly personal training sessions with Tasha for an hour every Monday evening and she has managed to keep me fit in spite of going through hip replacement surgery recently. I would highly recommend this gym and Tasha specifically.

  • 4/5 Donna M. 3 years ago on Google
    I love my gym! Really nice people, all ages, lots of classes, a fantastic small saltwater pool with lap lanes, always equipment available. I wish they'd extend their hours again because they close at 8, but overall, I'm very happy there.

  • 5/5 Denise M. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Julie D. 6 years ago on Google
    Love this gym, especially the free classes! I mostly use give pool, it’s never too crowded to do what you need to do on machines and no waiting for lap lanes. The pool is small, but you just do more laps. Take Beth’s water class on M,W afternoons - it’s fantastic and fun!

  • 5/5 Tara S. 5 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Hair G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's nothing fancy but it's locally owned, they have a spa and pool with lots of classes, they take silver sneakers so the average age there in afternoons is 65-70...so all ages welcome!Very affordable monthly fee. Cheaper than the YMCA

  • 4/5 Jel M. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly people, wide selection of equipment, not usually a problem getting on the machine you want. Pool is very nice to work out in, and the classes are great. Ground based classes are offered too, but I haven't used any. I just know the enthusiasm some other people have for them.

  • 4/5 Elizabeth F. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been a member for many years. I love the all one level floor plan. It's a low key peaceful place for me. I love the walking track. Staff is very polite and friendly. My only complaints are the lack of a hot tub now. They chose not to replace it after it broke. The hours are shorter now. They close at 8 pm instead of 9pm or 10 pm. Only open until 5pm on weekends. Otherwise I love Element.

    Staff is wonderful, gym is clean, really like the pool and being able to take the classes even if I was the youngest by 30 plus years ;) Sad I work such crazy hours and had to move to a 24 hour gym.

  • 4/5 Jim R. 6 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Alexander 6 years ago on Google
    Nice staff, gym equipment is adequate and well Maintained, not a huge variety of strength machines, but they have a few unique ones that are very good.

  • 4/5 Michael K. 6 years ago on Google
    Friendly neighborhood gym. Reasonable prices.

  • 5/5 A. E. 5 years ago on Google
    Clean and friendly location to do your workout at. They cater to an older age base, but it is for anyone, and means that normal busy times are typically slower here than your other chains in town. The have a massive free-weight area, and machines for every muscle group. Classes are included in membership, and there are many different offerings. They also have a pool and have massage/spa services on sight. As much as I want to keep this hidden gem a secret for myself, I can't help but sing it's praises. Only downside, is that things like the carpet and walls could do with a facelift as they are starting to show their age.

  • 5/5 Mari M. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice gym, it has everything you need. Nothing fancy

  • 5/5 Sahiba A. 5 years ago on Google
    Love the yoga classes here

  • 3/5 Lakresha S. 5 years ago on Google
    Needs improvement to roof. When it rains or snows the ceiling leaks, and buckets are all over the floor. Also the inside needs to be updated in some areas. However, I like that not too many people come work out here in the evening as it leaves more machines open to jump on and use

  • 3/5 Rich M. 5 years ago on Google
    Kinda outdated

  • 4/5 Chase J. 5 years ago on Google
    Great value for those looking to duck ridiculous globo-gym (lifetime/Genesis) prices. Everything you need minus the amenities (24-7/towel service).

  • 3/5 Jo F. 5 years ago on Google
    Hours and class offerings are good. However, equipment is outdated and in poor condition (beat up). Not enough space to do floor work and no TRX. Smells bad sometimes.

  • 5/5 Tyler B. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    I've been a member since October of 2021 (before new ownership took over) and all of the changes have been substantial improvements compared to the old layout. My personal favorite has been added turf that runs the length of the gym, but even the free weight section has tripled in the time I've been here. They are communicative by providing updates while dealing with much needed construction improvements and are continually updating the equipment. I haven't found a better gym value in the OP/Olathe area in the past 10 years.

    I've just recently joined element and have been coming for about a month now and have had nothing but a great experience. The staff is always super helpful and friendly and always present for anything that you might need. The gym itself is always super clean never overly crowded and has every piece of equipment that you need to get a solid workout in. Since being there the gym continues to upgrade equipment and the facility. I drive 20 minutes to and from and it's definitely worth it. I recommend element fitness to anyone no matter what your level of fitness or experience is 💪
