If you want to lose weight by exercising, Wichita offers a wide-variety of fitness centers where you can go and have fun while working out

Anytime Fitness is a private fitness club founded in 2002. In 2009, they gained their 1000th fitness club. The clubs are open 24 hours a day, unlike most of their competiton in the area.

In addition, it provides 24-hour tanning beds for members to use. Furthermore, personal trainers are on hand to assist you.

The monthly membership price, as shown on the franchise’s website, is generally less than a daily cup of coffee every day of the month, the average price of a haircut and style, or less than the price of the average monthly cell phone bill.

Anytime Fitness has two locations in Wichita – one at 215 S. Maize Rd and one at 1812 S. Seneca.

Another large fitness center is Genesis Health Club with five locations in Wichita. Genesis only operates in Kansas.

Genesis offers two kinds of memberships: basic memberships and premium memberships. In addition to memberships, Genesis provides a free three-day pass that you can use to begin working out before buying a regular membership.

Genesis also provides personal trainers to work with you on proper exercise techniques. It also has group fitness classes for people who exercise at a similar level, or do the same workout with friends, while not being limited to treadmills, elliptical and weight machines.

Probably the most popular fitness center in Wichita though is the YMCA.

The YMCA offers eight full-service branches spread throughout the city, including one branch in El Dorado and one in Andover. 

While the YMCA is not open for 24 hours, they are open for a majority of the day, seven days a week. The only two days in the year the YMCA closes is Easter and Christmas. Other than that, it is open.

Besides traditional exercise machines, each YMCA has its own running tracks on the fitness floors and a team of personal trainers, all of whom have flexible schedules and can work with you at any time, day or night.
