Now Hiring Personal Trainers
February 17th, 2010Health Insurance – Gym Dues
February 15th, 2010Health insurance companies are finally starting to realize that people who workout regularly have a much less incidence of sickness, and health complications. Most of the larger health insurance companies have plans now that will pay for your gym dues for you!!! That means you can join without it costing you a dime! We have set-up some accounts with some of the larger carriers and we encourage you to check to see if you are covered through your plan.
Also, if your health plan does cover gym dues, but you don’t have Blue Springs Fitness as on option for the gyms they cover, we ask that you please do us a favor and request that Blue Springs Fitness be added as an option. If you need any help with us just contact Kurt Mueller at 816-228-4080. We will do our best to better serve our members and save them money! Thank you!

Don’t Let the Weather Stop You!
January 7th, 2010Yes I know it’s cold. VERY COLD! However, you can’t let that stop you from continuing on your journey to weight loss, muscle gain, or whatever you goal may be. Blue Springs Fitness will be open whether there is 3 feet of snow on the ground, or the wind chill is 30 below! We will always be open to make sure you are capable of getting your workouts in.
The good thing about this club is the fact that we have an indoor track as well. So if treadmills aren’t your thing, you can still walk around our indoor track, because I’m sure you don’t want to walk around your neighborhood this winter.
This is also a great time of year to jump in our hot tub, or get in the sauna or steam room to warm up and relax. Either way Blue Springs Fitness has got you covered, and we will be open regardless of incliment weather.
Happy Holidays from Blue Springs Fitness
December 23rd, 2009The Blue Springs Fitness family would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! As usual we will be open for the Holidays. We take fitness seriously and we do our best to make sure we can at least provide time for our members to get their workouts in regardless of the Holiday. We would also like to thank everyone who continues to support us and share our thanks to all the great members of Blue Springs Fitness that make us who we are.
Club Trade In Special
November 29th, 2009Blue Springs Fitness is having a Club Trade In Special right now. If you are unhappy at the gym you are currently working out at, and your gym is within a 5 mile radius of Blue Springs Fitness, we will honor your current gyms contract!
All you need to do is bring us a copy of the contract you have at your current gym and we will honor that exact same contract at Blue Springs Fitness. Essentially you can switch gyms without it costing you a dime!
On the flip side of that coin, if you are paying more at your current club than what our rates are at Blue Springs Fitness we will give your the lowest rate possible and we will not charge you any enrollment fee’s. So if you are currently paying too much we will be happy to get you a lower rate, and start saving you money today. In this case you would only need to prove you are currently a member of a competing club within a 5 mile radius, and you will not be charged any enrollment fee’s at all.

Once again Blue Springs Fitness is the only gym in town that is offering specialty classes that other gyms in Blue Springs don’t offer, as we are constantly thinking outside of the box for new and exciting programs to set us apart from the pack!
Kids In Motion
October 4th, 2009Blue Springs Fitness is happy to announce a long awaited kids program! This is the most exciting program we have introduced at Blue Springs Fitness, and we are already getting a lot of positive feedback on it. Most gyms have daycares, and programs for the parents, but Blue Springs Fitness is commited to helping the entire family get fit.
Nationwide statistics indicate that 16% of kids ages 6 to 10 are overweight. In fact obesity amoung children ages 6 to 11 has more that doubled in the past 20 years and among adolescents ages 12 to 19 it has more than tripled!! This is unfortunate because current trends indicate that an overweight child has a 70% chance of becoming overweight as an adult. The earlier children begin to practice healthy liftestyle habits, the longer they are likely to practice them into adulthood.
The fist session of our Kids In Motion program will be a 4 week session. This first session is our first stage in an effort to build an entire kids program for all ages from as young as 3 years up to 13 years!!! In other words this program is in its infancy and we have a vision to offer a full-range of kids programs throughout the week.
Kids In Motion – Session One:
– A 4 week program that begins Sat. November 7th
– Class time is each Saturday from 10:30am – 11:30am
– Age group is 7 to 12 years
– Fun fitness activities to keep children active
– Nutrition information at the end of each class to make healthy choices
– Non-intimidating atmosphere for all shapes and sizes
– Outdoor activities if the weather permits
– DO NOT HAVE TO BE A MEMBER TO BE INVOLVED
– $25 per child for the 4 week program, $5 for additional child in the same family
Myth: Spot Reducing Fat
June 24th, 2009We have all seen the late night infomercials that claim they have the best and greatest abdominal training device ever invented. They all claim that you will lose 4 inches off your midsection in 2 weeks by using this device. With just 15 minutes of working out on said machine you will have razor sharp abs within 6 weeks!!!
Most of us know these claims are rediculous, but these companies prey on people who are misinformed about fat loss. Even though most people can see through these infomercials, I can tell you by working in this business that most people still are under the impression that you can burn fat in a certain area by working the muscle group that lies underneath. Such has burning fat on your abdominal region by doing crunches, or losing the jiggly fat on your arms by working your biceps or triceps.
The truth of the matter is that you can’t spot reduce fat by working the underlying muscle group in that area. When it comes to fat loss your body is only going to burn fat when there is a daily caloric deficiet created through either diet or cardiovascular exercise, or a combination of both. When you create a caloric deficiet and your body begins to burn fat for energy you cannot designate from which area your body takes it.
So although you may strengthen and build a certain muscle group, which could in fact make it look better, don’t be under the impression that you will burn fat in that target area. The only thing you can do to lose fat on that area of interest to you is to be patient, continue dieting, and stay the course. Your body generally takes fat from all areas of the body for energy, not from just one spot. Genetic differences also play a very large role in how and where our bodies store fat, as well as where our bodies take the fat from when we are dieting.
As always the staff at Blue Springs Fitness is always here to help.
