Midwest Fitness Partners continues to reach new milestones with the opening of new Planet Fitness^® locations. The franchise group opened its first-ever Kansas City location on Dec. 30, starting the new year in a new city. The 27,000-square-foot club features an array of amenities, including a Cryo bed, massage chairs, red light therapy, Vicki vending machines, tanning beds and plate-loaded equipment.  

Midwest Fitness Partners had a successful grand-opening celebration on Jan. 15 for the new Kansas City club. More than 100 people attended the celebration to check out the new club. During the celebration, there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor Tyrone Garner and the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce to officially mark the occasion. MFP also had a special guest attend the event, with Dawn Sullivan, VP of local corporate and franchise marketing at PFCSC, in attendance.

Guests in attendance were able to enjoy Kansas City barbecue, refreshing drinks and music provided by a local radio station. There were also raffle prizes provided, including 65-inch TVs, Beats headphones, free memberships and $100 gift cards. To wrap up the grand-opening celebration, MFP presented a $1,000 donation to the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kansas City to help support local youth and the Judgement Free Generation^® initiative.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring our first Planet Fitness location to Kansas City. Our goal has always been to provide a welcoming, inclusive space for people of all fitness levels, and this new club is no exception. We’re committed to being a positive force in the community, and we can’t wait to see everyone take full advantage of our world-class amenities,” said Mike Hamilton, COO and co-founder of Midwest Fitness Partners.

The new club in Kansas City is MFP’s 56th club. The club opening shows the group’s continued commitment to expanding its footprint and serving communities across the Midwest.
