The park district is introducing a Family Fitness class on
Saturday mornings at 8:30 to 9 a.m. This class is tailored with
families in mind and is a great way to start off the weekend with
safe, fun and effective exercises or dances set to energizing,
family-friendly music. Children between the ages of 4 to 17 are
welcome and must be accompanied by a parent. The use of hula hoops,
stability balls, small free weights and bands may be included in the
program. There is no charge for Fit Zone members and family members.
If bringing a nonmember guest with your family, the cost is $2 per
guest with a Fit Zone member. For nonmembers, the cost is $5 per
class for a family of four, and each additional family member is $2.
Join Jacki and Heather, mother and daughter instructors, for this
fun-filled half-hour. Some restrictions may apply.
