Fitness
You don’t need to be an athlete to workout at the Sports Medicine and Performance Center.
Our fitness and exercise specialists provide expert guidance to anyone. Whether you want to start exercising for the first time, are coming back to the gym after a break or are looking to advance your fitness safely, you can come train with us.
About fitness services
All our fitness and exercise programs are rooted in corrective exercise. Corrective exercise is a technique that examines your movement patterns, balance, posture and strength. It is a relatively new way to assess and train.
If you are in good health, a corrective exercise program can help you lose weight and get stronger. If you have a health challenge, we can help you recover functionality and feel better. The benefits for everyone include:
- Increased flexibility
- Increased stability and balance
- Increased coordination
- Increased strength
Fitness offerings
To schedule a free assessment, email sportsperformance@KUMC.edu or call 913-239-0646.
Any issues identified in the assessment will be addressed in a training plan. If you’re interested in working with us on that plan, you’ll be given purchase options. Each person will have a customized number of sessions. Additionally, you could participate in our group classes.
Why choose us
All our fitness and exercise specialists are nationally certified and provide training based in corrective exercise. Our training is held at the Sports Medicine and Performance Center in Overland Park. This is a multidisciplinary building. You’ll have easy access to other services, like nutrition and physical therapy if you need them.
The center also has state-of-the-art equipment. For example, we don’t just look at how much weight you can lift. We have EliteForm® velocity-based training to examine your speed and velocity while lifting to maximize your results. We also have a movement screening system and VO2 max screening.
Most important, we have top-notch safety. We want to see you progress in your fitness journey, but we will always make sure you do that in a way that prioritizes your health and minimizes any chance of injury.
