“Gina is one of the managers here and she is always so sweet and kind if I need help with anything! The location is very clean, great options for equipment. Every one is friendly and I’ve had no issues! I highly recommend joining!“

“I am writing this review for the person who just sustained an injury, and have no idea which way to go, or what to do. There is probably nothing worst than to be extremely healthy & mobile at 7:29am, to then be the complete opposite with one wrong move at 7:30am. Having that thing that is the most therapeutic, taken away, and kept away for a period of time that you have no idea for how long...might be up there with being forced fed the vegetables you hate more than anything, as a kid. So I sustained a hamstring injury while working out. The minute it happened I got that rush of "oh no" that increased my body temperature, while removing color from my face. Right at that moment you have that large question mark on your brain that has you as clueless as following Google/Apple maps when it keeps rerouting you to the exact same spot, to then reroute you again. So what do we do, we visit Dr Google. We get a timeline of 4-6 weeks, all the way to possible surgery depending on the damage, sighhhhh. So I decide this time I am not going to self diagnose, I am going to find a professional who has seen this same injury thousands of times. I search in the area and V6 shows up. V6 made me think of a car, which is movement...and damnit, I want to be able to move again, so V6 it is!!! I look at the website and like what I see. So I call, no answer...and I did not leave a voicemail because I am moving on to the next company because I need to be seen right now. No more than 10 minutes past, my phone rings and it is V6. I speak to the doctor and let him know we have a four alarm fire and I need to come in ASAP!!! Dr Gearheart speaks in a very calm & relaxing tone, then proceeds to start asking questions to try and understand the scenario. After a brief discussion, he lets me know his soonest appointment and I am booked. Show up to the office maybe 7 minutes early, and through the glass I can see his office...which is a good thing for me. I do not like closed in offices because I feel like only bad news is told in those. We talked for a bit going over the scenario again but with more detail and demonstration from myself, to give him a much better idea of what happened. During the conversation I noticed he paid attention to my level of understanding of the human body and matched it. He did not "doctor talk" me(big words, quick speaking, and rushing to get to the next client), or talk to me like I didn't know the difference between a finger and a toe. Before he started the physical part of the evaluation that requires him to move and test the injured area, he sits down and asks a question I have never been asked by any medical professional. I was asked, "where are you mentally/emotionally right now, and what can I do to help you leave here today feeling better." That question let me know I was in the right place, and gave me full confidence that I will get back to my norm in a timely manner.“

“After knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, and two torn tendons in my shoulder after getting knocked down by a drunk at a Chief's game , I was finding my mobility poor and I was becoming way too sedentary at home. Physical therapy lasts only as long as Medicare allows, which wasn't near enough for me to get back up to speed. As I'm nearing 70 years of age, the commercial gyms with the young gym rats were intimidating. I was also concerned about doing myself harm at one of those places and their strength trainers. I came across MVP fitness and learned a lot of their staff are former professional physical therapists and know what to do to strengthen you without invoking harm. I've been going during the weekday 3 times a week for about 3 months and the change in my mobility and overall strength is beyond my expectations. There are several like me there during the weekday that are dealing with injuries, medical conditions, or have just decided they need to get moving again. This is the place for that. One on one training, showing you techniques and motivating you to do it. They know what they are doing and I'm glad I got off the couch and started going to MVP. I'm seeing muscle in the mirror I haven't seen in many years!“

“I have been having trouble from a lingering running injury that wasn't getting better with PT. Finally decided to try massage therapy and I'm so glad I did. Darryl hands are magic, knowledgeable and affordable. He has great hours and the massage package is the best deal in KC. After just two sessions the pain has diminished to the point where I can exercise again and start working on my flexibility!“

“A great CrossFit gym. Everyone is friendly and the coaches are all great at walking you through exercises.“

“My son Orion is absolutely loving his football training classes at KCAT! He is learning skills and techniques that his school coaches did not have the time or expertise to teach him. Excellent facility and equipment and the coaches are top-notch! You can tell they really care about the kids and want them to do well. Go Wolverines!!!“
