Aspen Athletic Clubs Reviews ( 198 )

  1. Genesis health club on Mill civics location has welcoming me amazing, specially I would like to share that Shelby has been an excellent fitness advisor with me, her customer skills and personality makes a huge difference between other gym, …

  2. Terrible parking experience. Mostly tennis courts inside with a grim prison-looking hallway and locker rooms. Just a weird vibe. If possible, make the trip down to Mill Civic instead.

  3. Tremendous value. I can also reserve a court to play pickleball or tennis. The gym is good and occasionally I play some basketball too. My wife and daughter, like the women’s only workout room.

  4. Won’t disclose membership online or over the phone unless you talk to membership person only. Seems like typical BS I try to get more out of each person.

  5. Great, but older facility. They have tennis courts, basketball courts, and lots of areas for working out. Memberships are just an okay price. Overall pretty nice place.

  6. only thing keeping it from 5 stars, is the older than God Cardio machines. Spacious work out club, great staff. Excellent weights, training facility and classes. .

  7. Too hot and strang smell all over.. you have to block your noise to enter locker room if you care to be clean..loud music… too too too old equipments and most either out date or not standard.. good for some people to chill not serious exercise

  8. I went in to cancel my membership, which went fine. Months later I’m still getting calls that my payment isn’t going through and when I call back or email I either can’t be helped or my email is ignored.

  9. Club management will charge you an extra month once you try and cancel because it takes 10 days to stop your payment between the next billing day. Bunch of crooks, save your money and go to a more ethical place.

  10. The staff here pressures you to sign up, runs whatever promotions they feel like from a day to day basis which can affect your price and are totally unprofessional. Not worth it. Find another gym

  11. It would be nice if the employees /trainers would slow down in the parking lot. Today one of the trainers were flying through the parking lot and almost struck my fiancé and I. Figured it was an customer until noticing it was a trainer.

  12. Prices are reasonable and a great place to lift. A few downsides: No Pool at this location. Men’s locker rooms leave a lot to be desired. However for the price it’s a great place to work out.

  13. It’s a good gym of how lot of good memories basketball camps my furry first fitness trainer was their great basketball courts they had that kids area for the Kids Daycare thing lot of memories there when I was a kid too close to a teenager I would recommend it as a gym I really would

  14. The music in the main weight room is so loud you can’t even hear your own music. The music does not have to be so loud you can’t even have a conversation. This has been an issue for a while and a number of complaints made.

  15. Was paying for two memberships, me and my boyfriend. He hadn’t gone in a while and they switched the account to his sister’s name. The card is in my name. Did not update any other information. Did not remove the billing information and …

  16. This is one of the worse places I have ever been…the way the company has treated me has been extremely horrible. I felt like because of my skin color they did what they did to me.how do you banned someone because they refuse to pay a …

  17. Tennis courts are amazing, you can always have fun their and on top of that, you can have fun lifting during the pandemic. They always have you wipe down equipment after use which helps us stay safe

  18. Scam artists. They will tell you you’re signing up for a monthly membership and then fill out paperwork for a year long contract after you leave. Then tell you there is nothing they can do to help you. Pathetic, unprofessional, and shortsighted business practices.

  19. I was member off and on for 10 years. I got a six month job out of state. It costs me more to cancel my Aspen membership then my cell phone contract. I was going to rejoin when I moved back. I will not now.

  20. Big Gym…love the exec area & womens! tend to get bothered by personal trainers only at this gym location. It makes it uncomfortable & usually pulls me out of focus! I normally go to another location for awhile after.

  21. A lot to offer. Huge weight room and cardio room. 2 basketball courts, steam room and kids club that has a basketball hoop and tunnels. My kid loves it. They also have a lot of indoor tennis courts but I think they cost extra. Very reasonably priced for a membership.

  22. Large weight room. No wait time. Friendly staff. Plenty of equipment. Lots of lockers. All equipment spaced out. Basically everything that lifetime and anytime fitness is not. And DEFINITELY better than Orange Theory Fitness. That place is a joke.

  23. I have mixed reviews about Aspen Athletic Club. for just working out it’s a good place to go it’s rather cheap and has a good amount of equipment. Our problem was with Taekwondo. Master Jack was rarely there and there were times when there …

  24. 0/5 stars….Was the worst experience I have ever had with a gym, i tried to redeem a groupon and they refused to let me use said groupon here. The reason they gave me was because you can not have previously been a member and try to redeem …

  25. I started going to the SE 14th location 14 years ago, stopped while at college and resumed once back from college and working in the area – I always loved the SE 14th location. I moved to West Des Moines and started going to the Hickman …

  26. Scam. They don’t disclose all the charges before charging you. Legally a business has to disclose all details verbally or in a written agreement. The person called Jassie signed me up for membership. When I questioned she said that she made …

  27. Large Gym facility that offers a wide variety of fitness options. Love the group fitness classes. Please note you must use the app to register for the classes as spaces are limited due to social distancing.

  28. Don’t go to this gym. People are pirates. Offer a month to month membership which is a lie because you have to pay for an extra month after you cancel.

  29. Offers a ton of options for the price. Sometimes however the gym area doesn’t seem to get cleaned well. Sometimes equipment could be serviced or replaced sooner, but recent upgrades make it pretty good. Basketball courts are a big plus.

  30. Giving 1 star because I can’t give zero. Terrible customer service from the GM Marcus. I’ve never met a GM who can’t fix a problem “because he didn’t work there when it started”. Asked to speak to his boss and he said he doesn’t answer to …

  31. Love the gym. Great facility. But come on guys, blocking off the Tae Kwon Do studio for classes only and being under surveillance is a little much. Whoever is in control of that space is a little possesive.I know people that love using that …

  32. Great variety of exercise equipment and classes. Personal trainers are very personable and ready to assist. Locker rooms, basketball and tennis courts. Kids club and a nursery with very friendly staff that my daughter loves to go see.

  33. Marques went out of his way to help me understand my new membership and I appreciate his extra care and attention to detail. Dan was great in helping me sign up too!

  34. They lock you into a contract for a year min, there is a min $150 cancellation fee. And they will never inform you of this. I highly recommend you stay as far away from this place as possible

  35. Theives and liars! I signed up for the $10/mo membership but 4 months later I was charged $51.89. I called to inquire about the charges and was told that I agreed to a $40 “maintenance fee”. The person I spoke to was very condescending and …

  36. 3 words; “Ten Dollar Membership”.
    The price is right for an expansive fitness center featuring free weights, workout equipment, basketball vourts, tennis courts (additional fees), fully equipped …

  37. Good amenities and large. It is usually very dirty in locker rooms. I heard some reports of theft from lockers some of the people working out here are idiots but I guess that is similar at all clubs. If you can pay more find something better. If not wear some ear plugs and just shut out the others.

  38. Good luck getting out of your contract here; I quit going and quit paying after they took over for Aspen and they continue calling to collect membership payment. They refuse to let me cancel my membership over the phone, claiming that I must do it in person. Sad!

  39. I moved out of state but I was still being charged even though I am thousand miles away. I was in town in April 2019 and then they made me pay from December till April ok fine I paid and left Iowa and told them to CANCEL my membership. I …

  40. I used to belong to Gold’s gym that went out of business in March. Apparently, Genesis bought them out. Without my permission, Genesis started charging me for monthly membership. I was not contacted at all. I have been calling Genesis for …

  41. I’ve been going to Aspen for about 7 years and I love it. They offer tons of classes and have a huge weight room and cardio room. Another great thing they have is a women’s gym which has a good amount of equipment. If you’re looking for a good quality, reasonably priced gym this is the place to go!

  42. I went here with a friend to try out the place. At first it seemed promising given that it’s cheaper than some work out places and upon first glance the facilities looked decent. Then, the horror struck when I went into the locker rooms and …

  43. Friendly staff, false advertising saying you have access to all gyms. I was a Aspen member before they were acquired. I tried to go to the Hickman gym from West Glenn but was told I’d have to upgrade to their more expensive package to go …

  44. I was a member of this gym for 30 years and disappointed that new membership rates were being offered for far less than what I had been paying. Received a nastygram in the mail that my credit card had expired. Personally paid them a visit 2 …

  45. They sold us two passes for 20 pickleball plays. The following week they started shutting down 3 of the 6 courts to host a beginner pickleball clinic during the busiest times. They could have done this off hours, but they chose to take away play time for paying customers.

  46. This gym is great! We are in Des Moines for a month on business and Marqus welcomed us with all the info we needed and gave us a great 1 month package. Our interactions with Marqus and the rest of the staff have been outstanding. We feel safe with the coronavirus precautions and the equipment is all top notch.

  47. It’s not fancy like Lifetime, where I switched from, but a 45lb bar is a 45lb bar no matter where you go. There’s also a lot less sales pressure, which is really nice! Because there’s less sales pressure, it feels like the people there …

  48. I was told I had a 12 month contract for 10 bucks a month.
    I paid the full 12 months without canceling. This month , the 13th month I noticed I was charged over 50 dollars. …

  49. Upon signing up, I informed them of me moving cities in a year before starting my membership. I called before I moved about cancelling had to leave a message because I had called before the person handling my membership came into the gym. …

  50. I joined January 7, 2017. I go every day except Sunday. The gum is always clean. Staff friendly. I don’t need to pay Lifetime Fitness $90 per month to lift weights and run on a treadmill. I can pay $25 per month at Aspen. …

  51. Got the good old bait and switch from Aspen on Hickman Road….signed up with the general manager and was told i can cancel at anytime with no fee…I switched to a fitness center closer to home and a week after canceling my membership and …

  52. I think you have some great employees. However, the one ice machine has been broken for months. The steam room has been broken down for weeks. The parking lot has pot holes that could swallow a Suburban. A shiny new sign doesn’t make up …

  53. The best part about this place is the opening staff Monday-Wednesday. Very friendly and welcomes everyone by name. Karen is such a sweetheart.
    The problem is that equipment is often broken for extended periods of time. They …

  54. Came back here after getting tired of the high rates at lifetime. I was skeptical to come back due to issues with the general manager Marcus and one of there trainers and seeing in the reviews that issues with the GM still existed. I was …

  55. Go to BBB.org and search for Genesis Health Clubs to see 158 complaints in the last year similar to mine. You will also find that Genesis Health Clubs “is not BBB accredited”. We purchased a block of personal training sessions this …

  56. Put my membership on hold with the understanding I would initiate when I got back into town. They started charging me again and told me I had to cancel in person when I wasnt in town for months. I got charged 2 extra months with no refund …

  57. Read the fine print before getting membership here. After signing up for a one year membership with Aspen they auto-enrolled me in an automatic renewal which I did not know about. Ended up moving not too long after that and had a change of …

  58. Love this place! Marqus made signing up for a membership so easy for us. We were able to workout that day. We enjoy the variety of the machines, and the cleanness of the club. This is a large gym, with many group classes such as yoga. I am really enjoying my experience here.

  59. I have been at the Hickman Genesis for about a year now and have loved my experience the staff has been very welcoming and inviting the Women’s Gym makes me feel safer and they connected me with my trainer Alex who has been a huge help in making me feel comfortable in the gym so that I actually use my membership.

  60. Please check the Better Business Bureau before joining. This club has hunderds of complaints. Also, note that they were sued by the Kansas State Attorney General due to their treatment of consumers. Quite possibly the worst health club …

  61. I am new to the area and am super excited that I found this gym. I couldn’t ask for better instructors. They are energetic, knowledgeable and inspiring. I love taking classes and this gym offers many choices and variety. The staff is …

  62. Apparently when Gold’s Gym closed they automatically switched over my membership to Genesis without notifying me. I’ve never stepped foot in the place and have been getting charged for the past 16 months and they refuse to give me a refund. …

  63. I love the size of the club, very user friendly and I don’t feel just like a person with a card. The front desk staff recognize people as they come in and it makes it feel like family. Honestly I also love that there are older people …

  64. Do not join this health club. Branching off of Cody’s review, their “policy” is a vague excuse as to why they continually charge their members each month without a real explanation and how they plan to make as much money as possible with no …

  65. Great Clean Club!! Marcus the manager personally made sure my membership expectations were met! Cardio Dance is a MUST with Emily! Looking forward to taking many classes this club offers!!

  66. Been a member for 4 years. Nothing new has been added and nothing has been repaired. The roof is constantly leaking water all over the gym anytime it snows or rains. You have to weave ur way around the buckets scattered in the gym …

  67. Let me start by saying this gym is big, lots of equipment and plenty of room to workout and a mostly good environment but even so equipment needs updated. I’d give it a 3.5, but a -1 when it comes to the employee side. It’s not a great …

  68. I attend the 530a Upper body strength class followed by the 6am Rock Bottom class on Tuesday and Thursday. Kit is a great instructor!! Great music, funny, keeps inspiring us to get 💪!! Excellent class! …

  69. I was a member for over a year back before they were purchased by Genesis. I canceled my membership in summer 2020, and they randomly started charging me again in summer 2021 with no explanation. They also did not return my calls or email …

  70. I called customer service to cancel membership, they stated they would pass it on, but never did. Also wasn’t told you have to go in a give a 30 day notice to cancel.

  71. Dirty. Half the place is falling apart. There is leaks all around the facility whenever it rains or snows. Staff isn’t helpful and the managers don’t tell you any information about the membership. Cancelled my membership in the facility and …

  72. My favorite part about this gym are the cardio dance & Zumba classes! Great variety of times throughout the week to attend that fits your schedule. I especially love all of Emily S.’s Cardio Dance classes-she is always full of energy, positivity, & makes working out fun. Highly recommend 😃 …

  73. I’ve been a member of Genesis on Hickman since February. I left Lifetime and couldn’t be happier. The personal training team, especially Rob, are professional, experienced and have helped me meet and exceed my personal health goals. The club has all the equipment you need and the staff is friendly.

  74. The customer service was terrible. When I came in for the first time I was not given a membership card or number. I was not even offered a tour or welcomed in any way. The attendants seemed very uncomfortable and unprepared to answer …

  75. I take Garrett’s boot camp class in the morning. He’s a great trainer committed to good form and meeting his clients where they are. Very friendly and welcoming environment. No matter your fitness level this class is for you!

  76. I’ve been training with Dakota Vaughn and the entire experience has been fantastic! His knowledge of the field and commitment to his clients have helped me stay focused on my progress both in and outside of the gym. He’s made it easy for me …

  77. This gym has all the potential to be an elite training facility. Their tennis courts seem to get the funding the rest of the building is lacking. The sauna is great, bathrooms clean enough. The gym area is a bit crowded and lacks space, you …
