1. SIGN UP FOR GROUP FITNESS

Whether you’re a yoga enthusiast, a HIIT warrior or somewhere in between, our Kansas City’s top instructors are here to elevate your health and fitness journey.

In addition to switching up your workout routine, signing up for a group fitness class can also offer motivation and help you to truly feel a part of the community. At Woodside, we offer a range of classes in our spacious and adaptable studios:

Fitness Studio: 

Try classes like SHOCK + SHRED, BEST BUTT NOW and BODYPUMP™ in our Fitness Studio. These classes are designed to build bodies, confidence, relationships and communities.

Cycle Studio: 

Experience the thrill of our Cycle Studio with heart-racing, rhythm-bumping classes that improve cardio health and muscle endurance.

Yoga Studio: 

Join over 30 yoga classes weekly, catering to all levels from beginner to advanced. Our experienced teachers guide you through sequences that enhance physical strength, flexibility and mental health.

 

2. WORK WITH A PERSONAL TRAINER

Your fitness journey should be as unique as you are. At Woodside, we offer personal training tailored to your lifestyle, schedule and budget. Our trainers create custom programs to help you get healthier, stronger, and reach your goals, with 24/7 access to your progress through the Trainerize app.

 

3. FIND NUTRITIONAL BALANCE

A balanced diet is key to a balanced life. Explore Woodside Food + Drink, where we offer seasonal menus, health-focused dishes, craft cocktails and nutritional supplements, all designed to fuel your mind and body. If a dry January is on your list of wellness goals, we also offer a wide range of delightful and delicious spirit-free cocktails for your enjoyment. 

 

4. PRIORITIZE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

Mental well-being is just as important as physical fitness. At Woodside, we encourage practices that foster mental health, from meditation classes to a tranquil environment that allows for peaceful personal reflection. We want our KC wellness center to be an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 

 

5. BOOK REGULAR SPA VISITS

The Spa at Woodside is your haven for relaxation and rejuvenation. After a strenuous workout, treat yourself to a massage or skin treatment to soothe sore muscles, release tension and promote overall wellness. The Spa is your key to looking and feeling your best all year long. 

 

6. JOIN A SUPPORTIVE WELLNESS COMMUNITY 

At Woodside, community is our cornerstone. Join us for events, tennis leagues and social gatherings in our bar and lounge. Being part of a community that values health and wellness can significantly boost your motivation and sense of belonging. Also, making new friends and socializing is always fun and creates a wellness support system that you can lean on. 

 

7. SPEND MORE TIME OUTDOORS

Want to get a little more fresh air this year? If so, then be sure to take advantage of our outdoor facilities. Whether it’s swimming in our pool or participating in outdoor fitness classes, connecting with nature is a great way to enhance your fitness regimen. We also are proud to offer our incredible tennis options! You can rent the court for an hour, join a tennis league or even sign up to work with one of our talented trainers to bring your game to the next level.

8. SET ACHIEVABLE GOALS

Use our comprehensive facilities and expert guidance to set and achieve realistic fitness goals. Whether it’s improving stamina, building strength or losing weight, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Here are a few tips that can help to keep you motivated and on track with your goals in the New Year:

 

Make Goals Measurable: 

Define clear, quantifiable objectives. For example, aim to run a certain distance or lose a specific amount of weight.

Celebrate All Victories: 

Acknowledge every success, big or small. This could be improving your running time or attending more classes than the previous week.

Document Your Journey: 

Use a planner or an app to track your progress. Seeing your achievements in writing can be incredibly motivating.

Power Through Setbacks: 

Challenges are part of the journey. Embrace them as opportunities to learn and grow.

Seek Guidance: 

Utilize our expert staff to help set realistic and personalized goals.

 

9. EXPLORE NEW WORKOUT STYLES

If exercising is starting to feel stale or boring, don’t be afraid to mix up your routine. With a variety of classes and equipment, Woodside encourages you to explore different workout styles to keep your fitness journey exciting and effective. Variety is the spice of life, especially when it comes to fitness!

 

10. MAKE TIME FOR SELF-CARE

Lastly, make self-care a priority. Regular exercise, balanced nutrition and taking time to unwind are all integral parts of self-care. At Woodside, we provide the perfect environment for you to focus on yourself. Remember, it is hard to pour from an empty cup.
