“Physical activity is an important part of a healthy lifestyle, and
we encourage Chicagoans to take advantage of this special incentive,”
said Chicago Park District General Superintendent and CEO Timothy J.
Mitchell.
During the promotion from Jan. 2-16, patrons who
extend the complimentary two-week period into a January-March 2009
winter-session membership will receive a free work-out bag, courtesy of
Nike, while supplies last. Membership rates to the Chicago Park
District’s fitness centers are affordable and range from $40-$75 for
three-months, a fraction of the cost of commercial gyms.
The
Chicago Park District currently operates 60 fitness centers featuring
state-of-the-art equipment including: computerized treadmills, cross
trainers, upright and recumbent bicycles, free weights and benches,
cable cross-overs, multi-station weight machines and core-focused
weight equipment.
The Chicago Park District’s facilities also
offer a variety of fitness classes such as circuit training,
conditioning, kickboxing, Pilates, yoga and aerobics.
Following
the January promotion, the Chicago Park District will offer a week of
free fitness classes in early February at various sites throughout the
city.
