Kanza Wellness Center

FITNESS TIP:
Fuel up before your workout by eating a small meal 30-60 minutes before you train. This will allow you to train harder, longer, and with more enthusiasm. Also remember that protein helps heal your muscles after a hard workout.

LOCATION AND AVAILABILITY

Just east of downtown Newkirk, we're within driving distance for most Kay County residents, as well as those living in southern Cowley and Sumner Counties in Kansas. We're just down the road from Peckham, only 15 minutes from both Ponca City and Arkansas City, and not much farther from Kaw City, Blackwell, and I-35.

We're open for business Monday-Saturday (see right side panel for details), so please stop by. In addition, both our education room and pool are available for rent for meetings or gatherings. Please contact us at (580) 362-1444 for details.

Kanza Wellness Center Facility Repair Update

The meetings between EWC1 and the Kanza Wellness Center have been progressing well. The most recent meeting was on September 16, in which we discussed finalizing the statement of probable costs and scope of work which includes, but is not limited to, replacing damaged items, painting, and replacing carpet. This will make the facility more aesthetically pleasing and enhance the ventilation and reduce the amount of humidity so that the problem does not reoccur. We have allotted approximately 5 weeks for Mr. Boxley to create the bid documents and initiate the bidding process. The date the actual construction phase is to begin is yet to be determined.

Donnie W.	About 3 years.
Darlien L.	Since June 2004
Marilyn G.	Since shortly after the Kanza Wellness Center opened.
Don G.	Since I had heart-valve replacement in 1997. I used the bicycle and home treadmill until I started coming to the Kanza Wellness Center.

Donnie W.	I walk 30 minutes a day on the treadmill, and work 30 minutes lifting weights.
Darlien L.	I try to go through the exercises that our instructor used to do.
Marilyn G.	I prefer to do my own deep-water jogging and stretches and sometimes finish up with a few minutes on the treadmill.
Don G.	I prefer exercising in the water...however, I use the machines part of the time. I benefit by the warm water more because of arthritis from an old whiplash injury.

Henry & Pat T.	We have been able to continue something that we all need to keep us functioning and keep our joints moving.

Darlien L.	My muscles have tightened up, I've lost some weight and I'm more flexible.
Marilyn G.	My results with water exercising at the Kanza Wellness Center has been a god-send to me. I had back surgery a short while back and the water exercise I did before the surgery and more importantly, the water exercise I have done since, has made the surgery a complete success. Absolutely no pain and no stiffness. I credit the Kanza Wellness Center pool for my present overall health.
Don G.	My blood pressure, diabetes, and overall health is much improved since I have been coming to the Kanza Wellness Center. Plus my weight is more in the normal range and I just feel better after exercising.

Donnie W.	Everyone should try the Kanza Wellness Center facility. They have great people on staff.
Darlien L.	I am very pleased with all aspects of the Kanza Wellness Center.
Marilyn G.	The Kanza Wellness Center is such a large asset to the city of Newkirk and the surrounding area. I would like for you to be able to hear all of the positive things that are said in the pool about the warm soothing water's effects on people with arthritis. The Kanza Wellness Center's staff are courteous, caring, knowledgeable people. Thank you for being here.
Don G.	I don't understand why everyone isn't taking advantage of this facility. The staff is friendly and capable. Anytime I have asked for a favor they have been happy to comply. Keep up the good work...we need you here in Newkirk.
