I've been coming to Club Pilates for a few months now, and I'm so glad I decided to!…read more Prior to coming here, I had no experience with pilates--mat or reformer. I was very intimidated coming in to try reformer, so I opted for the free 30-minute intro class to see if it was something I'd enjoy doing. As someone who's never really enjoyed working out, I was surprised how much fun I had, and I think the staff made all the difference. Each instructor and desk worker are so, so kind and attentive, and the studio is always cozy and clean. Pilates can be expensive, but it's SO worth it in my opinion! (Plus, there's a discount for healthcare workers and other ways to save based on your subscription tier). I've only been coming for a few months, but I already notice a difference in my strength, balance, and overall physique after only coming 6-8 times a month. We love Club Pilates Parkville!

This is by far my favorite workout ever and after four years of KC living, I keep coming back for…read moremore! Bar Method is a high intensity, low impact class that makes you sweat and shake during class and makes you so sore the next day. The whole concept revolves around contracting your muscle to the point of exhaustion (hello shakes!) and then stretching and lengthening your warm muscles immediately after. Bar method was designed and vetted by physical therapists - and the studio floor is the same as a gymnast floor - so it is awesome for folks with joint issues of any age! The structure of the class is always the same - warm up includes an upper body workout with weights, followed by push ups and tricep dips. Do not let the light weights fool you- the exercises and reps make 2 and 3 lb weights feel like 20's! Next comes the meat and potatoes of Bar - LEGS AND BOOTY! Calf raises, 3 grueling sets of Thigh and a next-day-waddle-worthy booty workout. Stretches at the bar and in the floor are incorporated throughout. Finally, Abs and a little back dancing (channel your inner Call On Me music video)... Oh the instructors are ALL amazing, encouraging and each have their own way of empowering you to push through your sets even though you want to stop. The classes are personalized since the instructors know your name and call out corrections and encouragements throughout the class. They are also hands on to ensure you are in the best form possible! Music sets are also awesome and are constantly changing for fun varieties! Overall, in case you can't tell, I am a fan of Bar Method and encourage everyone to at least try it out once! It might look like you are barely moving but I promise it is a HARD workout! The method strengthens your posture, creates longer leaner muscles and improves flexibility! No dance experience required by the way - I am not a graceful or flexible person but I love how strong I feel when I leave class (and how sore my body feels too)! Come on in and shake it out!!!

Going into this studio for the first time, I had no idea what to expect. I don't keep up with the…read moreseemingly endless workout styles out there, and having never been graceful, like ballet dancers, this wouldn't have even made it on my list. Over the years, I've tried pilates, Insanity, yoga, and random YouTube dance videos; and only yoga seems to stick, although the results I get with yoga are more mental than anything. With Bar Method, I started seeing quick results. Basically you are doing small movements that fine-tune specific muscles, followed by intense stretches to give you an overall leaner look. The exercises are safe for everyone. What have I got to lose? Plus they ran a birthday special the day I came, so I decided to commit to 1 month. Initially, it was challenging to follow the structured routine - I was doing the plank wrong, or I slouched too much, or a slew of other reasons. Fear not, the instructors take the time to learn your name and will instruct or come around to adjust you. In a 60-minute class, you get to target your arms, shoulders, thighs, legs, glutes, back, abs...so basically you will be sore the next day. No doubt about it! My jello-y triceps scream at me every time. Truth be told, halfway through, I want to give up and crawl into a ball. But I keep pushing, because everyone else is working hard. The instructors are well-rehearsed in the routines. They are exceptionally toned and charismatic. After taking 8 classes, I can honestly see some definition in my arms and legs. Here we get to the catch, because up until now, life's peachy! For someone like myself who just switched careers, starting out fresh, this is not something I have the budget to continue after my month is up. There are many positives though for people who can afford it, so I encourage you to seek this out for great results!

Too busy to go to the gym? Not sure what to do when you get there? Need a little accountability?…read moreWant to have fun while you get healthier and relieve stress? 9Round is the gym for you. Personally, no other gym has worked for me the way 9Round has. It's something I can find the time for, truly enjoy, and KNOW it works. Even just 3 times per week leaves me feeling so much stronger, healthier, and happier. There's nothing that relieves stress quite like kicking and punching the bags. 9Round is a 30 minute full-body, kickboxing-themed circuit workout. There are a total of 9 stations or "rounds." Each round is an exercise that lasts 3 minutes. In between each round there is a 30 second "break" during which a trainer will yell out an exercise like jumping jacks, wall sits, lunges, etc. There are typically two trainers on the floor at all times. The trainers help teach and motivate you! 9Round membership comes with hand wraps, gloves, and a heart monitor to monitor your heart rate and calories burned during your workout. With no class times, you can workout whatever time is best for you! 9Round workouts are unlike any other. And 9Round Downtown KC is unlike any other 9Round I've experienced. Family-man and Owner, Rashad and his team work tirelessly to bring us fun, energizing workouts that actually WORK! They foster an inclusive, supportive workout community. And your first workout is free! Come try it out! What do you have to lose?

I was skeptical before trying 9Round because it's been a while since I've been in the gym. However,…read morewhen I showed up for my session Rashad was extremely welcoming and encouraging throughout the rounds - he even completed some of the exercises alongside me! I tend to get bored of doing the same exercises so having something different to do (and working different parts of my body) at each station was perfect for me. And if you're worried it will be too intense, don't be. You have the freedom to go at your pace and the exercises are not too strenuous. I really loved the atmosphere and the music kept me pumped. If you're looking for a different workout experience, 9Round is the way to go. If you're ready to put in the work, it's definitely worth it.

Fantastic gym with phenomenal coaches and staff with a perfect vibe! Whether you are a gym rat, a…read morelife-long CrossFitter, an itinerate exerciser, or an absolute beginner looking to improve your fitness level, this is the perfect gym. The coaches and staff are knowledgeable and experts in their field. They are super helpful and always there to encourage and willing to go to extra lengths to work with anyone on improving their fitness, exercise proficiency, and establishing goals. More importantly, they are welcoming, friendly, and always get everyone motivated to make every workout energetic, challenging and fun. We feel like they are family and look forward to seeing them and working out with them throughout each week. The other secret ingredient to CrossFit Northland is the members themselves. They come from all types of backgrounds and ages, and their proficiency/fitness levels range from beginners to professional athletes. They are all friendly and welcoming and do their share of encouraging and motivating too. We have made many friends among the other members, and value them as family too. Everyone feels like they belong, and there is a strong sense of community. Everybody encourages each other. No intimidation or judging - everybody (coaches included) is just glad you are there and getting after it, no matter what the level of your fitness or proficiency. My wife and I have always embraced fitness as an integral part of our lifestyle. We have always belonged to gyms or worked out on our own and enjoy being active and are relatively new to CrossFit. We both feel like the atmosphere at CFN created by the coaches, staff and members has been a significantly positive improvement in our lives. It is always a great feeling to finish a workout, feel like you have challenged yourself and accomplished something, and had fun doing it among friends at the same time. Thanks CFN!
