The View Community Center — Attraction in Grandview

The View is fantastic. I became a member a couple of months ago & I couldn't be more satisfied. The pricing on membership is affordable, as is childcare. The staff (especially the training staff) are wonderful. I've had them come over & give me tiny gems that have made working out so much better. Going to the gym when you are overweight & out of shape can be intimidating, but the staff & patrons make it a comfortable environment right as you walk in the doors. Love the fitness area, as well as the pool & gym. I haven't tried any of the classes yet, but when I do--I'm sure they'll be great!! Love The View!

&& Anyone giving them less than 5 stars is ridiculous. Sorry to all of you 4 star-ers, but REALLY?!? This is a great facility, and it does (free) things for the community on a large scale: Boo At The View, most recently. There isn't another gym in Kansas City that is as affordable & well maintained as The View. & To the man who saw a staff member racially profiling: have you been back? I would say that The View has a fantastic mix of every color under the sun & we're all there just enjoying getting healthier together. In my two+ months there, I haven't seen or experienced anything that was inappropriate in that way. In fact, when I was getting my membership, a mother of several children was complaining about them not having the rock-climbing wall open for her children (it has specific hours) & demanding that they give her more day passes for another day. They were handling that situation much better than I would have. Bottom Line: Great gym. Great staff....

I would like to thank Ms. Dana (swim instructor and pool manager) for her lack of interest in assisting me this morning with instructions on getting my granddaughter swim lessons. I apparently was not given correct or adequate information last week on registering my granddaughter (which I’ve learned happens often due to lack of knowledge at the front desk). I could have looked passed that because things are always ever changing trying to get back to some level of normalcy. But I contacted The View to verify if I had enough time this morning to register and pay the $50 for the 8 sessions of swim lessons and what I got was a stern, rude, sharp tongue of a woman that had no interest at all in clearing up my confusion. She just kept saying “June 3 and I don’t know what you’re wanting!” So here’s what I’d like Ms. Dana-

Friendly customer service Understanding that miscommunication happens An apology for said lack of communication Clarification of swim instructions (date, time, etc.) Clarification on when registration needs to be completed. Assurance that you are fully capable of swim instruction minus the attitude and lack of care.

I will now pay more money to go outside my community because I am not convinced that my grandchild will get proper instruction with someone so unfriendly. Come on Dana we all in this together! I’m looking for some bit of normalcy for my family. How could you possibly be having a bad day? The Sun is out and you are employed! Thank you View but...

I have only gone once, but it was very clean, and the staff member, I hope I get her name right, Lauren, gave me a tour. She was very helpful and kind, as was all the other staff I met, and explained everything to a T for me! I went in for a day pass just to see if its something I would come back for. I love how they have so many options, an area for weights, and then more for cardio. They also have a full lap pool and lazy river, all the cool stuff! Along with a rock climbing wall, that's open on a schedule, which is understandable. A studio, where they have different classes. In the studio, if it's open and empty, you can do anything you want basically. They even have ballet barres, so I might have to try that next time! What I came for was the walking/running track, it tells you how many laps equals a mile, which is super helpful. Down before they have a couple basketball and volleyball courts. It was VERY nice, and CLEAN! I am super excited to go back, and will definitely recommend to family...
