Take your workouts OUTSIDE this fall!

As the summer is coming to an end, we approach some of the best weather of the year in the Midwest. Around Kansas City, outdoor events will fill up calendars throughout September and October. There’s endless events to attend, some of the big ones being baseball and football games, the Plaza Art Fair, the Kansas City Marathon, and Halloween.
