If you didn’t know before now … this building is getting a FACELIFT. Along with that, 200+ apartments will be built on top of the existing structure. theGYMkc will move to the main floor … into a brand new space. Bear with us for the next several months … as the developers prepare our new gym location. We’re excited about the future! We know you have a lot of questions … but the ONLY place to find the answers is right here. Please do not ask the desk staff. They will only tell you the same: “Check the website." We will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available [and when we are authorized to do so by the developers]. Thank you for your support, understanding, and patience.

theGYMkc: UPTOWN UPDATE
There has been an unexpected construction-related delay at Uptown. We are temporarily closed at that location. We will post when we have more information. theGYMkc: UptowntheGYMkc: Uptown 3600 Broadway Boulevard Kansas City, Missouri 64111 phone: 816.960.0502 This location is in the Westport area only a mile from the Country Club Plaza ... just north of The Uptown Theater. Our entrance is on the west side of The Uptown Shoppes building. So in other words, we are behind the building. You will have to drive down the north side or the south side of The Uptown Shoppes to find us. There is only one pair of double doors on this side of the building ... and those are ours. If there are security guards at the entrance to the parking lot, please stop for them. They will ask you what event you are attending. Tell them you are heading to theGYMkc. They will direct you to our parking lot. Thank you so much for being members of our gym. If you have questions, call our main line at 816.960.0502. * Membership includes access to all theGYMkc locations. 
CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: 12.03.19
The parking lot is back to normal! Effective immediately, the north alley from Broadway Boulevard is closed. Please use the south entrance from Valentine Street. CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: 11.18.19
I forgot to post that the heating source has been installed. Yea for the construction crew. They rock! CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: 11.05.19
For the next few days we must use the NORTH parking lot entrance. This is the entrance from Broadway Boulevard. Parking is allowed in the lot closest to the door. Overflow parking in the garage can be accessed from the north garage entrance. ABSOLUTELY no parking in the alley [this is the fire lane]. If all goes according to plan, we'll be back to normal access very soon. Thank you all for your patience and flexibility. CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: 11.01.19
The demo crew is still working on opening up the the space that is above us on the main floor. This means it has been a little more chilly than usual. A heating source is on its way ... but in the meantime, you might want to wear warmer clothing. Thanks for being flexible with the parking lot reroute. We will be adjusting the parking and walkways daily ... but we should be back to normal within the next 2 weeks. It's been exciting to see the slow transformation of the building ... and we're looking forward to what is to come. CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: 10.16.19
The WALL is coming down ... NOT our wall [part of the one on the main floor above us]. We will need to alter our parking and walking behaviors while the construction crew does their thang. YOU MUST OBEY ALL BARRIERS AND CAUTION TAPE FOR YOUR SAFETY!! On Tuesday, October 22nd, YOU MUST PARK IN THE GARAGE. We will let you know when it is safe to resume parking on the surface lot. Surface lot spaces will only be available AFTER 3pm … if safety allows. SAFE PARKING AND WALKING AREAS WILL CHANGE ON A DAILY BASIS UNTIL THE BRICK WALL IS REMOVED. CONSTRUCTION UPDATE: 08.13.19
*** Please remember: theGYMkc Uptown building is NOT being torn down. Parts of the building will be changed. The portion of the building on the far east end that used to be the bank will be the first major change. Demolition of that part of the building AND ONLY that part of the building will begin very very soon. Crews have already begun work clearing out the portion of the building that will be our new home. Effective Immediately: all access to our parking lot from Broadway is closed. You must use the parking lot entrance on Valentine. The North Alley/Driveway is closed and will remain closed through construction. You must use the South Driveway. Our parking lot and gym access will remain unaffected. *** |
