2019 Wellness

2019 Wellness Expo LINCOLN DAILY NEWS Thursday, February 21, 2019 Page 13 The Lincoln Park District fitness staff consists of 13 instructors and trainers who are certified in various areas. This allows our fitness programs to continue to grow with the ever- changing fitness industry. Our classes are held year-round, six days a week. On occasion, we offer specialized free community classes and special incentives. Fitness Manager Jennifer Prather likes to offer a variety of classes on the group fitness schedule and programs to help keep your workouts fresh and fun. During the summer months, our fitness programs extend outside to our Aquatic Center. Water aerobics begins in June and concludes near the end of August. This year will be our third year for our Mid-Summer Mini Triathlon event in July. The Lincoln Park District enjoys working with the community and collaborating with other local organizations to plan community events. These are just a few of the most recent examples of how we are always looking for opportunities to build solid relationships within the community to be able to serve Lincoln better: ● During the Pigs and Swigs event, you will find that we offer a 5K for our community. ● The Lincoln College has been partnering with us for music lessons and for water aerobics. ● Yoshukai Karate Alliance offered a Women’s Self Defense class, and we have three Ambassadors for the ALMH Fitness Court. The ALMH Community Health Collaborative partners with us for the Wellness Expo and the World-Wide Day of Play. The Lincoln Park District also strives to bring fun, interactive, recreational programs to our patrons and community. CONTINUED
