There are a lot of different options in Wichita, Kansas. To name a few of the big ones: VASA, Genesis Health Clubs, Planet Fitness, YMCA. And then there are boutique fitness centers like Pure Barre, Orange Theory Fitness, and so forth. We also have our fair share of mom and pop or CrossFit gyms.
Personally, I’ve always been a fan of the YMCAs. Sometimes they are really busy, but I like to go in the AM’s and it is typically pretty reasonable.
After talking with friends who lived in California and other places, we are extremely spoiled living in the Midwest and having access to multiple branches of such a nice gym for one low price. From what I understand, out in LA you would pay one (higher) price for one branch, and not have access to the others.
