KC Fitness Bucket List (Studios, Instructors, Classes)

While KC is no NYC or LA when it comes to the amount of fitness studios, trendy health cafés, or the massive space for the health and wellness industry, we do owe KC some credit. KC is home to unique studios, incredible instructors, and a community that is passionate about fitness and health. I created a list of what I think are the most bucket list-worthy studios, instructors, and classes in town. Of course, there are many more, but these were the first that came to my mind when thinking about the must-tries of fitness space in KC.
