BLUSH FITNESS | New Women-Only Gym In Johnson County

If you're a busy KC or JoCo mom and looking for a gym that's just for you, you're going to love our new Health & Wellness partner, BLUSH FITNESS. This new workout facility is coming to Overland Park soon and is unlike any other health club in the Kansas City metro area. Why? Because BLUSH FITNESS is solely focused on women's health and offers ladies an innovative and unique approach to working out.

In addition to state-of-the art exercise equipment, BLUSH FITNESS will feature:

Personal training program that every member can utilize
Unlimited group fitness classes, access to group classes, including Zubma, Core, Boot Camp, Spinning, and Yoga
Heated Studio designed for hot yoga, heated core, and heated aerobics classes
Spinning studio, dedicated to high intensity spinning classes
Kids Play child care area

We recently had a chance to sit with BLUSH FITNESS Founders, Max and Kelly. Here's what they had to say about what makes their new ladies-only gym in Johnson County superior to anything else that's out there.

KCMM: What's the concept behind BLUSH FITNESS?

BF: "The concept behind BLUSH FITNESS is that exercising should be comfortable and fun, not intimidating and anxious-feeling. Many women avoid certain areas of fitness clubs because they don't feel comfortable, and some avoid fitness clubs altogether. These women are missing out on vital aspects of their fitness regimen that would help them reach their goals. We want to help build a community of stronger, healthier and happier women."

KCMM: How are you different from other gyms that women can choose from?

BF: "BLUSH FITNESS is different because we truly believe in offering education, knowledge and results to our members, not just access to space and equipment. Memberships alone don't cut it. We want to see our members succeed at BLUSH FITNESS and that's why every member is required to participate in our annual consultation program. These are 90-minute consultations done every three months where the member will meet with our fitness consultant to discuss goals and strategize how to accomplish those goals. They also entail a fitness level assessment and measurements such as weight, body fat, strength test, cardio test, flexibility, etc. This will help keep our members on track and allow us to help them along the way."

KCMM: Share more about your Pre-Sale Memberships and why they're such a great deal?

BF: "Our pre-sale is the best time to join for anyone! Members can join for as low $24.99/mo, which includes unlimited group classes and 24-hour access to workout on your own. It's by far the best deal in town! The pre-sale is 100% in favor for the members."

KCMM: What kind of atmosphere can members expect to be part of once BLUSH FITNESS opens?

BF: "The atmosphere at BLUSH FITNESS will be non-intimidating, welcoming and educating. We want to know our members. We are not looking to sign you up, forget about you and hope that you keep paying. We want to be a part of your fitness journey."

KCMM: Describe your ideal member?

BF: "Our ideal member is any woman who's ready to make a change. We welcome all women and would love to help as many as we possibly can. Whether you've been involved in fitness for years and just want to come workout with some other ladies, or you've never exercised before in your life and need some guidance–You belong at BLUSH FITNESS."

KCMM: What kind of person would benefit most from becoming a BLUSH FITNESS member?

BF: "BLUSH FITNESS is set up to accommodate all levels of fitness. The type of woman that would benefit the most from our facility is one that doesn't already have fitness incorporated into their lifestyle. Also, those that have tried other fitness centers before and did not get the results they were seeking."

KCMM: Is there anything else you'd like to share about BLUSH FITNESS that you want moms/women to know about or expect?

BF: "BLUSH FITNESS is dedicated to providing the best customer service and the most knowledgeable fitness professionals we could find. You can be certain that when you are there, the staff wants you there and they are ALWAYS willing to help."

As you can tell, BLUSH FITNESS is more than a gym, it is a community. In addition to their innovative approach to women's fitness, they also plan on hosting unique members-only events like "Sweat and wine" nights, where members will enjoy a workout and a little fun to unwind. There's also "Free Lady Friday", where members will be invited to bring your daughter, sister, mother, or any other lady – FREE on every Friday, to enjoy a little friendly competition with other BLUSH FITNESS members in exercise challenges!

"First you sweat, then you BLUSH."

BLUSH FITNESS is located at 7204 W 119th Street, Overland Park, KS, 66213 in the Rosanna Square shopping center (119th & Metcalf) next to Hobby Lobby (in the previous Nill Bros location).

I tried to cancel my membership due to COVID. I emailed the Blush on March 12th asking to cancel my membership. On March 16th they emailed me back telling me I need to contact their third party billing company. I called the third party billing company requesting it to cancel my membership. Believing my membership was cancelled, I did not update my current CC info with the billing company. They continued to bill me for 3 months. When they were unable to bill the CC they sent it to collections. I did not receive a phone call, letter or email letting me know that there was a problem with my account. Blush sent me to collections over $166.78 without giving me an opportunity to pay them for the alleged owed amount. I emailed the Blush to pay them directly, get it removed from my credit and figure out why my membership was not canceled. Blush was unwilling to work with me and said I had to pay the collection agency directly.
I left some negative reviews on social media. The owner of the gym, Max proceeded to send me emails trying to threaten and bully me in removing my reviews. He went so far as to email the management of my place of business trying to discredit me and get me in trouble with my manager. Blush advertises their business as a safe and empowering place for woman. However, as soon as you do something that makes them angry, the male owner tries to bully and intimidate you into doing what they want. When I would not comply with Max’s demands to remove my reviews from social media. He retaliated by assigned another $408.54 to my account. He then proceeded to tell me he would remove the balance if I removed all the negative reviews. I would not do anything until I had something in writing, which he refused. Max also notified me of the extra charge of $408.54 via email and then proceeded to send it straight to collections without giving me an opportunity to pay it. Now the collection agency wants $575.26 instead of $166.72. The amount Max add into collections was from verbiage from a contract that was valid March 2017 through 2020. I cancelled my membership as of April 2020. The mount they claimed I defaulted on was after the contract expired. There was no written terms of the renewal. The extra fees of $408.54 he is charging are from terms on the contract that expired March 2020.
I have copies of my original contract, all our transactions, including the email the owner sent to my place of business.
If you read the reviews for Blush you will see there is a pattern of people having issues with cancelling their membership and with Max trying to bully and intimidate their members. Blush also has a F rating on with the BBB, because of these same issues.
