History
The first Prairie Life Fitness Center opened in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1985. The two original partners,
Dean Rasmussen and Bob Kerrey wanted to offer a full service club that focused on health and fitness
activities for the entire family and for people of all ages and abilities. The 60,000 square foot
multi-service facility provided an extensive array of services – aerobics, indoor and outdoor swimming,
weight lifting, indoor jogging, a wide variety of exercise classes, a nursery for small children and
multiple youth programs. Prairie Life Fitness Center was designed to appeal to a broad cross-section of men,
women and children. Based on the success of their first club, Dean and Bob opened a second facility in
1990 in Omaha, Nebraska.
Since then, eight more Prairie Life Fitness Centers have been established in four states, including two
in the Kansas City area, a second location in Omaha, one in West Des Moines, Iowa, one in Collierville,
Tennessee, just outside of Memphis and one in Franklin, Tennessee, just outside of Nashville Tennessee.
The newest Prairie Life is scheduled to open at Midtown Crossing in Omaha in 2009.
