Free Admission to Chicago Fitness Centers

(News Release) "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. 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.
