Why Small Group Personal Training is the Perfect Fit for Brookside and Waldo
Hey there, Brookside & Waldo neighbor! I’m Olivia, and my husband and I are the founders of a new, fitness studio in the area, Pod Fitness. We all know how special our little corner of Kansas City is. With its historic charm, friendly faces, and local shops, this neighborhood truly feels like home. At Pod Fitness, we’re on a mission to provide community-driven personal training, and we think the PodFit Model™ is the perfect fit for our vibrant community. I’d love to tell you why! The Benefits of The PodFit Model™
What is The PodFit Model™?
The PodFit Model™ is our unique approach to fitness that combines the benefits of personal training with the community of group fitness classes. In a typical Pod Fitness session, you’ll train with a small group of 3-7 people, allowing you to enjoy personal training while also getting the benefits of having community with others.
Community Support
One of the best parts about Brookside & Waldo is our strong sense of community, and we bring that same spirit into our Pod Fitness sessions. Working out with your pod means you train with the same group, same days each week, at the same time, building community and motivation. You’ll make new friends and have a built-in support system cheering you on!
Affordability
We get it—personal training can be pricey. But with the PodFit Model™, you get all the benefits without breaking the bank. Personal training can run you anywhere from $50 to $90/session, but at Pod Fitness you can enjoy personalized training at a fraction of the price—just $17/session! That’s cheaper than some group fitness classes out there. It’s a win-win!
Accountability
We all have those days when working out is the last thing we want to do. But with the PodFit Model™, you’ve got friends and a trainer who will keep you accountable. It’s harder to skip a session when you know your group is counting on you!
Personalized Attention
Just because it’s a group setting doesn’t mean you won’t get the attention you deserve. I guarantee you will never, ever be in a pod with more than 7 clients. In fact, on average our pod sizes are right around 5 people. This means your trainer will give you the individualized feedback and training adjustments you need to reach your goals.
Why Brookside and Waldo are Ideal for The PodFit Model™
Community Feel
Brookside & Waldo are known for their close-knit communities and lively events like the Brookside Art Annual, Waldo Fall Festival, and the Brookside St. Patrick’s Parade. Our Pod Fitness sessions capture that same sense of community spirit, making fitness fun and engaging.
Convenient Location
Pod Fitness is conveniently located right here on the border of Brookside & Waldo off of Gregory Blvd (between Wornall and Main St.), making it easy to incorporate fitness into your daily routine. Our neighborhood’s walkable streets mean you can enjoy a stroll to the gym and maybe even stop by McClain’s afterward for a well-deserved treat.
Local Engagement
Being part of Brookside & Waldo means having access to a variety of local businesses and services that enhance your lifestyle. We are working hard to build partnerships with local coffee shops, stores, and wellness studios so that being a member of Pod Fitness connects you with a broader network of community benefits.
