Due to unforeseen construction delays, the reopening of the Strength Floor in the South Club is delayed until Monday, March 13. We acknowledge that this delay is disappointing and frustrating for members, as it is for our team as well. The delay was out of our control and not in line with the timelines that were communicated to our team.
Now through Monday, the Temporary Group Fitness space will remain open and the Temporary Cardio Floor will remain open until further notice. In addition, when a Group Fitness class is not in session, all members are welcome to use the Temporary Group Fitness space for bodyweight exercise or a workout using Group Fitness equipment. You can find the Group Fitness schedule here.
We know the North Club has been crowded during peak hours, so we have instated temporary extended hours in the North Club this Saturday and Sunday, March 11 – 12 from 6AM – 9PM.
The temporary Cycle Studio is closed to enable our construction team to finish flooring in the temporary location. All Cycle classes will be cancelled during this period. We will place some cycle bikes on the temporary Group Fitness floor so members can cycle independently during the closure.
CLOSURES
The East side of the South Club building is closed for construction. Upon reopening early this Spring, this space will be home to our Cycle Studio, two fitness studios, open fitness floors and our Childcare facility.
REOPENINGS
Based on current projected timelines, we expect to reopen the Strength and Cardio Floors no later than Wednesday, March 8. Additional communication will be sent the week of March 6 alerting members to detailed reopening information for the Strength and Cardio Floors.

DEDICATION TO GROWTH WITH OUR MEMBERS IN MIND
Woodside is proud to provide our members with the most comprehensive offering of health, wellness and fitness-focused products, services and experiences in Kansas City – and that dedication will grow in 2022 and beyond. We are pleased to announce that our ownership will invest in a complete renovation of the South Club building, with construction beginning late this summer. The entire South Club building will see enormous improvements, with repurposing and renewal of all spaces to meet the expressed needs and wants of our members. We will also be making improvements to the North Club in select areas.
As you know, a renovation of this scale will necessitate temporary closures. In order to minimize disruption construction is planned in phases, meaning each phased area will be temporarily closed, then reopened and accessible. We are committed to providing timely and complete communication regarding all closures, changes and re-openings via email, app notification and social media.
