"Flight Attendant" Speech/Note to All Project Poolside Virgins
There are exits at both ends of the gym. If the cabin loses pressure, the oxygen masks will release and drop to your level. Make sure to place your oxygen mask on first ... then help those around you who need it.
Just joking ... seriously, though ...
Project Poolside is basically a personal training session for a group of people ... obviously it isn't "personal" ... because it is for a group of people.
You are in charge of yourself. I want you to push yourself ... but not to the point where you puke or pass out ... because I have two rules ...
- NO puking ... and
- NO passing out
- Even though I know CPR, I never want to have to perform it.
During Project Poolside, we will be doing higher repetitions and lower weights. This will help to keep our heart rates elevated ... and help to burn more calories throughout the class.
If I tell you to do 20 repetitions of an exercise and you can only do 10, do what you can do. Don't worry ... no one is counting your reps ... I promise ... we're all dying!
If something we do hurts in the 'bad' way, stop doing it ... IMMEDIATELY! Know that there is a difference between the "bad" pain and the "good" pain. If you need to modify an exercise, please do so. We all have different aches and pains ... and different injuries.
If you need a modification suggestion, please feel free to talk to me after class is over ... and I will help you find a modification that will best suit your needs.

Project Poolside: 50/50
Most PopularNeed a little cardio in your life? 50/50 is a spin-off of theGYMkc's original class: Project Poolside. It is a class made up of interval training. We start off on the cardio machines — you choose your "poison" and your own intensity. At 9:10, we lift for 10 minutes, do cardio for 10 minutes, lift again for 10 minutes, then cardio for 10 minutes. During the last 10 minutes, we work our core and end by stretching the entire body. It's interval training — and the hour will fly by before you realize it.
Attention
This class begins with 10 minutes of cardio. If you can't find Jonetta on the class floor, it's because she is running around the gym taking care of "business," getting warmed up on the treadmill, or walking outside with the other class participants. Get your body moving — she will meet you on the floor at 9:10 for the lifting part of the class.
"I should change the name Project Poolside: 50/50 to "Social Hour" or "The Breakfast Club" or "Detention" ... kidding!"

"Project Poolside: Nooner ... because who wouldn't want to go back to the office to say they had a "Nooner" over their lunch break?"
~ Do you have commitment issues? ~ Does an hour-long class intimidate you? ~ Are you limited on time? ~ Are you a beginner? ~ Try taking the half-hour Project Poolside: Quickie classes. Come get your "toes wet" without committing to the full-hour class.
Project Poolside: Quickie
Great for beginnersThe Quickie comes in two flavors: Full Body and Core Blast. Project Poolside: Quickie is a Kansas City's "original" class ... designed for those people who would like to start working out ... but a full hour is a little too intimidating. It is a way that you can ease into the full-hour Project Poolside class. It's also for those who are limited on time. You can take the half-hour "Quickie" to squeeze in a short workout. Is your attention span short like mine? Take the 30-minute "Quickie." You'll never get bored ... because the time will fly by.
"Come 'get your toes wet' without committing to the full-hour class."
Project Poolside: Quickie: Core Blast
⏱ 30 minThis is a 30-minute session that focuses on your core. Yes, that's 30 whole minutes of attacking the area most people say is their trouble area. Why do it? Why not! Are you really going to do it at home ... without others around you to share in the pain? Trust me ... we're all whining in unison [the instructor included]. We all need a little motivation to get going each day. Leave your Speedos and string bikinis at home ... save those for the beach. No, seriously ... SAVE those for the beach ... ~ Jonetta "The Mistress of Pain" Stewart ~

"The Mistress of Pain"
Jonetta Stewart is the creator of Project Poolside and one of theGYMkc's most beloved instructors. Her classes are known for being fun, inclusive, and brutally effective — in the best possible way.
A NOTE FROM JONETTA: My passions lie in teaching, traveling, and staying physically fit. You won't find this chica sitting on the couch eating bon bons [unless I'm watching a good flick or reading an intense novel]. I have too much energy ... and a lot of responsibility. I'm always on the "go" which makes me the happiest.
The busier I am ... the more efficiently I work. If I am not at the gym, you might find me socializing with my friends, making dinner with my husband [or rather ... he's making dinner for me], traveling to exotic [and some not so exotic] places, or sleeping.
