1/5 Lauren W. 1 year ago on Google
I
have
been
a
member
of
Genesis
for
over
five
years
now
and
have
utilized
almost
all
their
facilities
in
Omaha
and
some
in
the
Kansas
City
area
as
well
(RIP
OneLife).
In
those
five
years,
I
have
watched
every
gym
they
acquired
slowly
deteriorate
to
unsanitary
and
borderline
unusable
conditions.
It's
clear
their
business
strategy
is
to
acquire
every
gym
in
the
area,
so
there
are
no
other
options,
but
then
they
do
ZERO
maintenance
on
their
properties
or
machines
and
neglect
cleaning
to
the
point
their
facilities
become
unsanitary
and
most
of
the
equipment
is
broken.
Over
the
past
two
years,
my
home
gym
has
been
the
Midtown
location.
When
they
first
acquired
this
gym,
it
was
BEAUTIFUL.
It
felt
like
a
true
health
club
with
a
great
location
and
the
amenities
were
nice.
Over
the
years,
this
gym
has
deteriorated
to
the
point
it
feels
unsanitary
to
work
out
there
because
basic
maintenance
and
cleaning
has
been
completely
ignored,
to
the
point
the
properties
are
rapidly
deteriorating.
For
example,
for
the
past
year,
at
least
1/4
sinks
in
the
women's
locker
room
have
been
broken
and
clogged,
which
eventually
turned
into
two
broken
sinks,
with
no
efforts
to
fix
for
at
least
six
months.
Most
recently
3/4
sinks
were
backed
up
with
debris
in
the
sinks
for
WEEKS.
Leaving
one
usable
sink
and
other
three
left
to
ferment
with
dark
matter,
likely
creating
the
next
viral
outbreak.
Then
there's
the
showers.
Most
days
the
showers
look
unsanitary.
There's
been
multiple
occasions
I
have
tried
to
use
the
showers
and
each
stall
has
massive
clumps
of
hair
across
the
walls
and
in
the
drains,
indicating
they
haven’t
been
cleaned
in
a
concerning
amount
of
time
for
gym
showers.
If
by
chance
they
appear
to
have
been
cleaned,
the
showers
in
the
women’s
locker
room
have
drainage
issues,
presumably
a
simple
hair
clog;
however,
if
one
shower
is
going
for
over
a
minute,
the
water
does
not
drain
and
you’re
standing
in
an
inch
of
water.
I
have
found
this
kind
of
neglect
is
common
at
all
their
facilities.
When
recently
at
the
Askarben
location,
all
the
shower
stalls,
except
one,
had
no
lights
or
was
missing
a
light
because
they
were
burnt
out.
Changing
lightbulbs
is
basic
maintenance
and
it
takes
months,
if
ever,
for
lights
to
be
changed.
In
addition,
the
showers
at
Askarben
were
incredibly
disappointing.
Once
beautiful
and
nice,
now
there
is
mold
build
up
around
the
fixtures,
indicating
poor
cleaning
standards
and
you
can
see
the
deterioration
in
what
was
once
a
beautiful
gym.
Back
to
Midtown,
let’s
talk
about
the
actual
gym.
Out
of
the
five
Stairmasters,
only
two
of
them
work
and
this
has
been
true
for
over
6+
months.
As
machines
break,
they
don’t
even
bother
to
put
a
sign
on
it.
You
just
learn
what
machines
work
and
avoid
the
ones
that
don’t.
In
addition,
there
are
several
cardio
machines
that
squeak
loudly
during
use,
to
the
point
you
can
hear
them
through
your
headphones
and
across
the
gym.
There
is
no
urgency
or
concern
to
fix
broken
equipment
and
slowly
machines
are
becoming
unusable
because
basic
maintenance
isn’t
performed.
The
final
straw
and
why
I
finally
decided
to
leave
Genesis
this
month,
was
when
the
air
conditioning
went
out
at
Midtown
multiple
times
over
the
course
of
at
least
a
week.
I
understand
this
happens,
but
due
to
the
lack
of
airflow,
the
true
nature
of
this
gym
became
apparent.
It’s
below
freezing
in
Nebraska,
but
the
smell
at
the
gym
was
so
rancid
with
the
smell
of
sweat
and
urine,
I
barely
lasted
15
minutes
before
I
had
to
end
my
workout
to
prevent
myself
from
throwing
up
from
the
smell.
I
truly
do
not
believe
the
air
quality
was
safe
at
that
point.
I’ve
never
seen
a
staff
member
clean
a
piece
of
equipment,
which
ultimately
sets
the
tone
for
members.
Barely
any
members
clean
the
equipment
after
use
and
over
time,
this
neglect
now
makes
the
gym
feel
unsafe
because
of
the
sanitation
concerns.
To
the
leadership
at
Genesis,
thank
you
for
ruining
every
good
gym
in
Omaha.
