Community Workouts

Free

with Scott Quaife

Calendar Next available session starts Dec 15, 2025

These workouts are inclusive exercise opportunities at various gyms around the Kansas City metro. Workouts are designed to improve functional strength and stamina. These occur at different locations every month on Saturdays.

After submitting this registration, our Fitness and Nutrition Coordinator will contact you to discuss your options for community workout participation in your local area.

There are limited spots available for every self-advocate to receive sufficient support and coaching. Athletes are expected to be able to follow instructions and a structured routine for a safe and meaningful exercise experience for all, and therefore there is a maximum number of participants per class.

Spots will be filled on a first come, first serve basis, and based on commitment to the scheduled times. A waiting list will be created when enrollment is full for future opportunities.

 

InBody Scan and Consultation

$25

with Scott Quaife

Calendar Next available session starts Dec 15, 2025

The InBody is a medical-grade body composition analyzer that gives valuable information about your health. Unlike a scale that only tells us weight, the InBody measures everything that we’re made of, including muscle mass, fat, and water weight. The InBody allows us to see exactly how much of each an individual has and track progress over time. This device also measures visceral fat (the fat around our organs), which increases the risk of heart disease, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and high cholesterol.

The InBody also determines individual metabolism, which is very important for creating healthy eating habits. Getting the assessment done is as simple as standing on the InBody and holding the handles and takes only 30-60 seconds to complete! After the measurement, a consultation about the results will follow. Appointments will take approximately 20-30 minutes.

Completing this registration will indicate your interest in this service. Our Fitness and Nutrition Coordinator, Scott Quaife, will reach out to you for scheduling. 

Fee-for-service: $25 for individual, $40 for 2, $50 for family
