Joining a gym isn’t just about running on a treadmill; you can also get the kind of specialized training that will take your exercise program to a whole other level. A new exercise facility is opening up in Emporia that is going to be managed by professional Mix Martial Arts fighter Daniel Gallemore. Members will have an amazing opportunity to train alongside Gallemore and get into shape like never before.
“Hoping for a high-intensity gym,” Gallemore told a local newspaper. “Mostly fighters, like self-defense and jujitsu. We do quite a bit of wrestling. Muay Thai, probably bring some boxing guys in. Do some seminars and stuff. It will mostly be like a combative gym, mixed martial arts gym. It won’t be just for fighters, but it will be geared around mixed martial arts.”
That space that Gallemore is setting up in his used to be a salon storage area. That has required some serious modifications. “It used to be a salon,” Gallemore said. “There were sinks and counter tops and plumbing and lighting and speaker wires and all kinds of stuff up there along with the stuff that was in storage. It was very organized. We had to go through and demo everything and reorganize a lot of stuff. Dusty’s brother went up there and painted the walls. We’ve got to put tin on the ceiling now. We even had to tear some Styrofoam clouds off the ceiling that they had up there for decoration. We still have some wiring to do. Got to move some more stuff out of storage to downstairs and tidy some things up.” Are you ready to step into the ring?
This is just a snapshot of one of the many gyms operating in the Kansas City area and it’s a perfect example of the number one benefit you get from joining a gym: personal attention. Even if you don’t have a trainer working with you there is still the opportunity to take all kinds of classes at the gym. If you have an occasional question about an exercise or piece of equipment those trainers will be happy to answer that. You’re not going to get that kind of attention in your home gym set up.
Time to get real: Do you have a treadmill in your home? Some dumbbells? One of those crazy all-in-one gym workout stations? If so when was the last time you used any of that? Yes, the intention was to make it easy to workout because it’s right in the next room but the reality is that you might not be getting the workout you truly need especially if you have limited space. Embrace that fact that that unused gym equipment is now officially junk. Now you’re choice is simple: call up Junk King Kansas City to get rid of it all! They’ll take it away and you can get serious about your workout by joining a gym. Who knows what you can transform into?
It’s been a real scorcher this summer. In fact, it’s the hottest summer (so far) since they’ve been keeping records. With the rising temperatures will come an increase in air conditioning use. If you’re “power driving” your AC you might discover that it’s not performing as it should be. The fault might be in the age of that unit. Like any other type of appliance, an AC that is running 24/7 is simply going to wear down. If you’re considering buying a new model you might want to consider these helpful shopping tips:
There’s a big change heading Kansas City’s way and it could have a direct impact on the increasingly competitive real estate market. Google has selected Kansas City as a test town for its new and improved faster gigabit services. Google Fiber promises to deliver download speeds up to 100 times faster than what users are currently used to. What’s this got to do with real estate? Think about how fast a prospective buyer will be able to search through the listings? Home prices are beginning to tick up which means competition for listings are going to become fierce. You want to stay ahead of the curve by being out in front of as many of those listings as you can. They might mean a little out of the box thinking.
