Fitness in our Neighborhood

by Sally Whitaker

Beyond Fitness opened in January of this year. Owner and Personal Trainer Casey Haase had been training clients in her home when the chance came to expand to Grain Valley, just off of the North Outer Road.

“I want to create a safe environment to work out in while also making it an enjoyable experience. The focus is on making families healthy, specifically moms. Our kids can sometimes become the reason we don’t work out, but, by making this a space where parents can bring their kids along, I want to flip that to show that our kids can be the reason we do work out,” Haase said.

There is a comfy space with chairs and a table for kids to hang out while mom (or dad) workout.

“There is a grandma that wears her grand baby in a carrier while working out. We are going to expand on that and will be offering a Mommy & Me TRX class soon,” Haase said.

Classes include TRX, which is suspension training equipment that works with body weight to develop strength, stability, and balance. TRX Yoga, Circuit Training with weights, medicine balls, and TRX, and personal training by appointment are also available.

Monthly workshops and special events are also offered, with Kids Yoga coming up on April 13. Pre-K at 11:00 am followed by Pre-Teen at 1:00 pm.

Classes are currently scheduled as early as 5:30 am through the afternoon. New students can purchase a 4 pack for just $25. After that, a single class is $10, and there are packages that make it even more affordable. For more information visit the website, text, or call.

Beyond Fitness is located at 1151 C Pamela Drive. Haase can be reached at (816)204-6296 or caseyhaase.ptminder.com. Follow on Facebook @caseyhcpt and Instagram caseyh.cpt.
