Fitness center chain Kosama is opening the first of four local locations next month in Westchase.

It almost moved its headquarters to Tampa Bay, too.

"Then we were sold to Snap Fitness (in January), so we moved to Minneapolis," said Bob Kral, Kosama president, who winters in Manatee County.

Familiarity with the market is one reason 21-store Kosama leapfrogged several states to spread beyond the Midwest into Florida with 10 stores by year's end.

Named for the initials of its Quad Cities, Iowa, founders, Kosama offers a personalized workout routine for any age that members perform over 50 minutes in a group setting. It's a varied six-day-a-week workout blending yoga, kettle bell weights, kickboxing, plyometrics and martial arts.

Members strap a heart monitor to their chest, which beams a readout to a big-screen TV. So the member and a trainer know who's easing up while others in the group don't.

"You get the social benefit of group exercise, yet maximize results without needing to keep up with the group," said Kral, a former Walgreens executive.

Membership for the eight-week course is $299 including boxing gloves and yoga mat. Maintenance is $59 a month.

Snap Fitness operates 1,200 around-the-clock neighborhood mini-fitness centers that don't require on-site staff. Snap franchisees can add a Kosama group exercise business next door.

Secondhand Shoes: About three-quarters of all goods at outlet malls are made and priced to be sold there, but outlet retailers often toss in some distressed merchandise from their full-line stores to create the allure of a treasure hunt.
