Woodside

Fantastic experience: Wow, words really don't do this place justice! Woodside is far more than just a gym... It is a sacred space that supports all of it's members to be the best versions of themselves. Located inside this serene, safe space is a fantastic team of staff members who always greet you with a friendly smile. Joining woodside is one of the best investments I've ever made for myself.

Fantastic experience: I joined Woodside during the pandemic and it was one of the best decisions I made. It allowed for multiple outlets for physical activity and to partake in group activities and increase my overall health and well-being. I have really enjoyed the yoga classes as well as some of the other group fitness classes and recently started taking tennis lessons and joined a Tennis League and love that I found a new hobby and community to play with. Also, they have the best spa & pool in Kansas City!

Fantastic experience: Wish every city had this! A premium experience at a great price. Wonderful facility, staff, services, and food/drinks. I love the group classes and being able to grab a glass of wine or catch up on emails in the lobby afterwards. The staff is always attentive, friendly, fast, and professional. Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: Although a member for only a few months, the impact on my health and well-being has been enormous. Prior to my memberships, I was allowing myself to be overwhelmed with stress, which caused me to neglect my mind and body. This club has given me the opportunity to address SO MANY of the areas in my life that were suffering. There are mats where I can meditate and stretch to renew my ease-of-movement, muscle training equipment to rebuild my strength, and spa experiences that reconnect my mind to my body. An especially valuable member of your staff is Katie Brown, who teaches the Yin Yoga class. The way she communicates as she teaches is spot-on; she provides helpful information when needed, but she also instinctively knows when silence is the best tool for a moment. Her reminders to be kind to my body and not push it too far past its comfort point has made this an accessible class that allows me to progress in my practice. If I could spend 10 hours a day here, I would. Job well done on cultivating a well-rounded and pleasurable experience for your members.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Woodside and it has been such a wonderful experience!! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The fitness instructors are so knowledgeable and give you THE best workouts! Plus you can’t beat being poolside and having servers come right to your chair! The prices are unbeatable. If you’re looking for a community to join, it’s Woodside!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at Woodside for over a year now and cannot recommend a better club experience that is distinctly unique to Kansas City. The facilities here are always clean and the club is regularly updated to offer the newest available equipment which is greatly appreciated! The staff and management here are always professional and friendly. Tara is especially great as she has always gone above and beyond to be welcoming and to ensuring that I was able to get plugged into the Woodside community when I first joined the club! Overall, the gym is great and Woodside is a must join if you are looking for unique club experience that allows you to get connected into the Kansas City community whether it is at the pool during the summer or through the various group classes offered here.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined Woodside and it had gone above and beyond my expectations. My favorite thing about it is all of the workout classes that are offered. I can take a cycle class one day then a barre class next, whereas other places just specialize in one thing. I love the flexibility this allows me to have for my workouts and what I’m feeling that day. The pool is also something to rave about. The adult only pool is my favorite place to lay out all afternoon. There is always a good mix of activity and relaxation! On top of these two things the food and drinks are amazing, I received the best massage from the spa, and it also provides a new space to work from home! I would recommend Woodside to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Woodside for 3 years now and have never had a bad thing to say. The staff is amazing and friendly, the amenities go above expectations and the classes/instructors are the best! Woodside is more than a fitness center because it incorporates a healthy and community based lifestyle. I’ve met a ton of people by being involved with tennis, hanging by the pool or just in some of the classes. Anytime anyone asks if I recommended Woodside I can’t say yes fast enough!

Fantastic experience: Woodside has become an integral part of my life since joining! Every week I look forward to attending a variety of classes they offer!! Outside of the classes the pool, drinks, and food are the best! I truly love belonging to woodside!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I joined Woodside last fall, and it's been an amazing experience. My favorite part of Woodside are all the workout classes that are included in your membership. I do everything from cardio tennis, Shock & Shred, Best Butt Now...the list goes on! The amazing pool and amenities are the icing on the cake!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Best gym ever. Think all the bough’ you might get in LA for a fraction of the price. Sunrises in the cardio room, all the spa amenities for recovery routines and of course the wonderful people (staff and members).

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality I have been a member at Woodside for almost 9 years. I love all the amenities and attending my favorite spin classes! You can't find a cooler place in the heat of the summer!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Woodside does so many things right it’s hard to pick one. They have excellent staff who are always ready to help, friendly atmosphere, and a tone that makes you want to stay. I’ve only been a member for a week and it’s hard to leave this place. If you’re looking for a high-quality fitness facility then look no further than woodside.

Fantastic experience: McKenzie absolutely rocks. She is amazing. I had such a great experience when I walked into the fitness center and she helped me with my questions. Outstanding customer service skills and such a friendly smile. I highly recommend Woodside and McKenzie!

Fantastic experience: Woodside is a perfect oasis and I love coming here everyday! I can work out daily in one of the two fitness areas, go down to the spa, hit the sauna or steam room, have a drink in the lounge, or hit the tennis balls a bit. Everyone raves about the bar side pool and yes I can confirm it is worth it! The possibilities are endless and the people are friendly! I’ve gotten to know friendly faces and meet new people! The one downside is there’s no guest passes due to covid. I am dying to bring everyone I know here!

Fantastic experience: Their workout classes are amazing. They're extremely challenging and you're guaranteed to burn a TON of calories. Currently though, it's extremely difficult to get into the classes and I constantly find myself on standby. The covid restrictions have drastically decreased class capacity and therefore it's very competitive to get a spot in a group workout class which is always very frustrating. Overall nice facility in the main building, the 2nd building is pretty outdated but you don't have to spend much time there. It is however, less crowded.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism I've been a member for almost 2 years. The staff is wonderful and even when I've had billing disputes, they have resolved them immediately. The club has great amenities, wonderful food and bar. During the winter, the hottub is the only place I feel warm and welcome.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I’ve been a member for several years! Not only is insanely clean the members and staff and respectful and accommodating. Best place for solid workout class and a quick dip in the adult only pool!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication I have been a member for years her 11 yrs at the club. From the clean work out equipment to the lockers rooms, this club is special to me. My family and kids now enjoy the the pool and tennis while I enjoy working out and talking to friends at the gym. It’s a community for everyone who appreciates the good vibes and great service!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for about a year now. The facilities are well maintained and clean. Great workout equipment. Food and drink here is awesome. I would highly recommend Woodside to anyone who is considering joining.

Fantastic experience: Woodside is the very best part of my day. Whether that is meeting a friend for a drink by the pool, group fitness classes, or the steam room/sauna in the winter, this place is the best! It's always clean and the staff is amazing. I joined about a year ago and wish I would have joined sooner!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality This place is perfect for finding your fit! Morning, noon, and night, I can say Woodside is the best getaway in KC! It’s the best for accomplishing goals and trying something new. I always leave happier.

Fantastic experience: We love going to woodside! Their outdoor pool space is beautiful, and I love taking advantage of the indoor pool, sauna, and hot tub in the evenings. But the best part… is the cold eucalyptus scented towels right after an intense workout! The workout equipment was just completely updated and I can’t wait to try it out. Finally, I will say the staff does a great job of keeping everything cleaned and sanitized for our safety during the pandemic.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Woodside is a great fitness community. So many classes daily, you can work out anytime! The ammenities are second to none, with a restaurant, bar and the adult pool!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at many gyms and they all have their issues just like anything, nothings perfect. Woodside is still one of the best clubs I’ve ever been a member at as far as staff, facilities, food, drink, cleanliness, and equipment. If I had anything bad to say it would be about some of the members. Gym etiquette, manners and common sense are lost on some people. I see members/ex members here complaining their phone got crushed by a weight, why would you put your phone on the floor in a gym? Or on any any floor? Weights not racked right, that’s members not the gym. Facilities are closed sometimes? Right, they need maintenance to stay functional. People.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the environment at Woodside. Front desk staff is friendly, environment is clean, essential oils are put into the air to enhance senses. Great group fitness and tennis clinics. I have met a lot of lovely people there. It feels good to invest in your health! I recommend you join if you want to improve your tennis game and/or your overall health.

Fantastic experience: Finding the balance and doing the things I enjoyed to do before becoming a mom has been challenging specially in the middle of a pandemic. Woodside has been our safe place ever since they reopened the gym. We enjoy the many awesome classes they offer, the pool, family activities and the food. Woodside it’s truly a community, we absolutely love it!

Fantastic experience: Best place ever. It gives me a similar vibe to lifetime fitness in the sense you have a million free classes, free weights, machines, hot tub, saunas, cafe, etc. BUT more chill. After going there for just a month i began to recognise faces. Everyone is friendly and you can easily make friends here. Ive been going here for a while now and i do not regret it. The price is truly worth it. The outdoor pools in the summer are heavenly. I think if I leave KC the most heart breaking part will be parting with Woodside.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in KC hands down. Wasn’t sure it’d be worth the money initially, but we’ve used our membership much more than we even originally anticipated. We love woodside!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality I’ve been a Woodside member for 7 months now and I’m very happy with it. I’ve always been impressed with how clean the staff keeps everything. The pool, smoothie bar, and number of classes offered are my favorite parts of being a woodside member. They have all the gym equipment you could ever need!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Great place to nourish the body and the mind. Great place to bring my family or just for some self care.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This place is my home away from home for tennis, workout and workspace sometimes! Everything is immaculately clean and a super professional staff. Also they actually have a chef here that prepares the food and the menu changes seasonally. Lastly the pool scene is amazing and will sometimes work from the pool as well!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I recently joined Woodside and am impressed with the friendliness of the staff and members. McKenzie, Heather, Tara, and Dave have all been helpful and extremely knowledgeable in their field. I love the energy and would highly recommend joining Woodside!

Fantastic experience: I joined Woodside last year and it was the best thing ever. Woodside made it possible for members to work out during a pandemic by adapting the gym to the CDC guidelines. My best thing about Woodside is all the different classes you can take. My favorite class right now is Modérne Barre with the instructor Seraphine. When you join Woodside you don't just get a gym-membership. You also get access to the spa as well as the pool during the summer. What's not to love?

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Truly a great gym. Coming from the fitness industry they have everything you need and then some. The average age is around 35 and appears to be a great place to network and meet like minded people. Their pool alone is worth joining in the summer.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Far and away the best gym/health club the Kansas City metro has to offer. The robust class schedule includes strength training, cardio, yoga, spin, tennis and more. Premier workout facility, pool, hot tub, steam, sauna, cold plunge. A day spa and a fully stocked bar and restaurant. What else could you ask for?

Fantastic experience: Immediately felt welcomed and at home here. Also it has every amenity you could want. Literally.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Woodside for about a little over a year now. This is the best fitness club I have been a member of. The community (Members & Woodside Employees alike) are extremely friendly. The environment is very relaxing and pleasant. I'm obsessed with their spa center which has a Sauna, Steam Room, Hot tub & my personal favorite: Cold Plunge Tub. Even though this is considered a Tennis Club, one does not have to even play tennis to enjoy all the eclectic amenities, services and numerous activities that Woodside has to offer. If you are considering joining, I would highly recommend Woodside to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Have been a member, off and on, having moved out of town on several occasions, for over 20 years...Struggled for many years with run down facilities and terrible staff...However, for the last 2 years, the facility is nicer than it has ever been, the facilities are clean, a lot of new equipment , and the food is now consistently delicious. Regardless of how nice everything may be, the most pleasing part of the facility is the staff...From the moment you walk in the door, the front desk staff is always cheerful and friendly. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't try to help, have a ready smile, and go out of their way to make the time at Woodside a great experience...I have sent numerous people over to join and all have remarked how knowledgeable, pleasant and professional Tara has been to view the club....great experience, all aspects of the facility....,

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had heard great things about Woodside for the past couple of years since we moved to the Plaza area. We decided we wanted to invest in ourselves and our health this year and we were not disappointed! Woodside is WAY more than a gym. It's a great community. We have been able to utilize all the amenities and feel it is an incredible value. The overall experience we have had with the staff has also been second to none and I feel that makes such a difference! We truly enjoy our time spent here.

Fantastic experience: Love swimming laps at the Woodside pool this week. I've been in the house since March14 and it's such a treat to be at the pool. The staff ensures our safety and the facility is very well managed. I feel totally safe using the pool, even as someone in a high-risk age group. Thank you Woodside for giving me a place to exercise and enjoy the summer.

Fantastic experience: First I would like to make it known of how amazingly professional Jacob was at the front desk. He greeted me with a smile and was courteous and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and worked well around my busy schedule. The building is lathered with an AMAZING smell from the moment you walk into the doors. The high tech key system and overall feel I got walking through on my tour was the best I have ever had anywhere in Kansas city area. The clubs where all kept clean and looking brand new. There are so many perks to becoming a resident here. I would recommend to everyone I know looking for a place to live & thank you Jacob for making me feel at home from the second we met.

Fantastic experience: One of the best parts of Woodside is the super friendly and helpful staff. One staff member that particularly stands out is Abby, who is at the front desk of the main clubhouse. She is extremely welcoming and friendly. She goes out of her way to help with any and all questions or issues I have. She makes every visit a pleasurable experience! The tennis staff is exceptional as well. Ryan and Grant are great, they are very helpful and make all the tennis classes and programs super fun! I look forward to all the classes every week!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Woodside for six years and would be hard-pressed to find a better gym in Kansas City. People complain that it isn't cheap, but my thought is that if my vice is spending money toward my health, I'm okay with it. You get what you pay for. The club has a great communal feeling, people are focused on their workouts but also very friendly. The facilities are clean. There are never 12 year olds hogging machines with no idea what they're doing. The amenities are great. There are constantly people keeping it clean. I've been to probably 50 gyms nationwide in the past five years - from mom-and-pop gyms in rural areas to premier, high-priced gyms in LA and New York - and Woodside shines among them all.

Fantastic experience: I have gone to Woodside for the past year and absolutely LOVE it. I've always searched for a full functioning gym with high caliber group fitness classes. I have been extremely into cycling and spin classes for the past 7 years (Lifetime Fitness, Soul Cycle, Mojo) and Woodside does not disappoint with their Club Cycling classes and programming. I attended a gym in prior years with pretty average cycling classes; and the programming at Woodside by Christian Noni has blown me out of the water! I try to attend Christian's and Sarah Buchanan's classes every week if I can. Recently, Woodside upgraded their cycling bikes to the luxury "Stages 3" spin bikes. This has only further elevated the club cycle experience and provided new ways to challenge cycle attendees. I feel lucky to experience programming that is the equivalent of Soul Cycle or Mojo on a regular basis at a full functioning gym.

Fantastic experience: Group Classes. Specifically Club Cycling with Christian Noni. I have always been a fan of group classes, but i had never tried spinning. I was encouraged to try Christian's Club Cycling class on Wednesday mornings at 6:00 AM. My first class was an absolutely awesome experience. His class was challenging and difficult, but it was exactly what i was looking for. Christian utilizes a combination of his own music, his life experiences, and his expertise as an instructor to create an amazing class experience. You can tell he puts a significant amount of preparation into each and every class. It has quickly become a staple weekly class that i attend, and it is one of my favorites. He is one of the best instructors i have had an opportunity to work with, and i would highly recommend trying his class if you haven't. The class is so popular that it is sold out online by 8 AM on Monday. If you have not tried this class, definitely make it a priority. If anything, you will be guaranteed a good workout and a great time. Woodside is lucky to have such a talented instructor!

Fantastic experience: We came in today for a tour and loved the place. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable and the facilities were amazing! Tara went above and beyond to make us feel like we belonged. She really understands the club and was able to highlight all the aspects that make the club a perfect fit for us as a family. For us it was a no- brainer, we signed up immediately!

Fantastic experience: This gym is clean, friendly, well run and organized. It seems like something is updated nearly every year. The adult pool is great, and now that I have a kid I’ve discovered that the kids pool is a lot of fun, too! They even have a toddler pool and were smart enough to locate it in a shady spot.

Fantastic experience: A great club featuring a gym, tennis, an adults only pool complete with bar and food service, and a separate pool for families with kids. Undergoing major renovations and it is getting even better. Looking forward to the remodeled hot tub, steam room and sauna, and a major addition with indoor lap pools next year.

Fantastic experience: Woodside is the best luxury gym in KC. They offer 30+ classes over 100 times a week. The three outdoor pools are a social hotspot in the summers and the indoor pool, sauna, and spa make for a nice escape from the cold winters of KC. What sets woodside apart from other gyms are not only the top notch amenities but the kind staff. I look forward to catching up with my good friend Tommy each day at the front desk who has worked there for over 26 years.

Fantastic experience: Greatly improved club since my last review. I throughly enjoy my membership. Clean club. Great location. Nice staff. Moderately priced membership. Men's locker room well maintained and always clean. There is a limited number of free half lockers making it difficult to find a free locker during the busy hours. The full and half locker rentals are moderately priced, paid for on a yearly bases, (may soon go to a monthly payment plan). The equipment is well maintained and always in working condition. The club is an excellent tennis club. The outdoor pools are in impeccable condition and very popular during the summer weather, (probably a major draw to the club). The food/drink possibilities are limited, but healthy (except for the alcohol drinks). The indoor pool is very small, not large enough for exercise swimming when it's winter outside. The inside pool appears to satisfy the members who use it. The workout classes I've seen appear to be well attended and professionally taught. The membership manager, Kevin is well versed about the club. He is a good asset to the club. The club has an exciting expansion future. I'm looking forward to the new additions. I'm very impressed in the changes the club has made in the last year. What things would I like improved? •Better locker, lock technology •More free lockers •Change locker fees to monthly charge (like the membership charges) I am definitely signing up for another year.
