I hope everyone stayed safe and warm during the winter storms and brutally cold weather in the St. Louis area. Thank you for your patience as Move had to close its doors for a few days. Closing the fitness center is something we like to avoid—we strive to be open at least 355 days each year, closing for just 10 holidays. Thousands of people depend on Move as part of their daily exercise, recovery, social goals, and support, and we thank you for your patience during the winter storms.
Last year, Move members completed over 6,500 personal training sessions with our certified fitness team. They also took advantage of our massage therapy services, with more than 1,060 hours of massages delivered to help relax sore muscles. We’re so grateful you’ve chosen our team to support your fitness journey, and we appreciate you sharing the word about us.
Hopefully you’ve noticed some new faces around the facility as well as some new equipment available to our members and training staff. This year, we’re once again trying to expand our equipment and service offerings. We’ve added to our kettlebell collection, giving our members more matching pairs, added more medicine balls, and still have a few items to assemble to keep things organized. Our staff is here to help you use the new equipment and make the most of your time at Move, so please ask us how to improve your workout plan with our updated equipment.
We know participation in group exercise classes is one of the most important ways to help individuals stick with their health and fitness goals, in addition to making connections and establishing gym friendships. Currently, Move is one of a few LES MILLS™ facilities in St. Louis, offering exciting, cinematic-quality virtual classes to enjoy, led by some of the world’s best instructors. If you haven’t discovered what separates LES MILLS™ group classes from what other facilities offer then sign up for one today.
Our Ageless Fitness program is also a great choice for those over 55 years or those who want to ease back into an exercise program. With nearly 130 classes per month offered in our group exercise program, there is a class that is right for you.
Thank you for being members of Move by BJC. I speak for all our staff and express much gratitude for the interest and engagement our members have shown in the first six years in the Cortex, and we are very excited to see what 2025 has to offer.
