Fitness Classes in Overland Park

Though most pitchers clear their mounds at the slight rumor of a thunderstorm, the ones inside Kansas City Sports Club always stay dry and padded with footprints. In addition to pitching tunnels, hitting tunnels, and a turf infield that stays safe from outdoor weather conditions, the facility features a full fitness center that protects guests from the hazards of working out on treadmills in the wilderness. The fitness center features free weights and cardio machines with flat-screen televisions and free WiFi to keep guests informed and entertained during workouts.

Learning2Fly’s founder Sumya Anani believes that all conscious movement leads one further down the path to empowerment. It is this philosophy that led Anani to become a registered yoga teacher, massage therapist, personal trainer, and four-time world boxing champion. After travelling the country to train under several top aerialists, she now strives to inspire others through her curriculum—which includes aerial yoga and trapeze—that stirs up self-awareness, discipline, and perseverance. Her trained instructors also teach floor-bound boxing and Hatha yoga classes, which boost the flexibility and strength of those who are afraid of heights or making their pet emu jealous.

After leading workout sessions in her home's spare bedroom and boot-camp routines in her garage, certified personal trainer Kelly Heaven created Burn Fitness to showcase her fitness expertise in a boutique-style setting, accented by bold colors and an ornate black chandelier. Along with expert instructors, Kelly leads small groups in nine types of classes, demonstrating modifiable moves so that guests of all experience levels can participate at their own pace. Each session sizzles off the calories on gleaming wood floors in the vibrantly colored industrial studio, whose assemblage of treadmills, BOSU balls, and Richard Simmons chia pets beckon to energized physiques. Burn Fitness's schedule fits at least two classes into every day of the week, and as parents work out, employees can supervise youngsters 2 months old and older ($2/class for each child).

At Club 7 Fitness, members cap an energizing spinning class or sprint round the indoor track with a quick soak in the whirlpool and a sweet treat from the juice bar. The 50,000 square foot club showers patrons with amenities including a spacious cardio deck, full service tanning salon, and chiropractic services. Members sharpen their swing at the racquetball courts, learn to roundhouse kick through tae kwon do classes, or stop by a SPARQ class for sports-specific training to enhance speed, power, and agility.

Though salsa dancing is her preferred method of winding down after a stressful day, Christine Zolman understands that some people desire a more traditional approach to relaxation. The massage therapist and owner of Kneading Serenity has formulated an extensive list of spa treatments that she and her multitalented team—a fellow therapist, an aesthetician, and several yoga and Pilates instructors—draw on to extinguish chronic pains and promote overall wellness.

As a certified massage therapist for more than a decade, Zolman can capably soothe muscles with Swedish, prenatal, and sports techniques. For an experience not often found on other spas’ menus, try the specialty esalan massage, which combines long strokes with acupressure, gentle rocking, and stretching to sculpt deep musculature. Licensed aesthetician Danielle Brewer focuses on superficial ailments, calling upon custom facials and microdermabrasion treatments to leave skin brighter than a disco ball dipped in radium. Yoga and Pilates classes meet five days a week and allow clients to heal their own bodies in sessions scaled to their abilities.
