If you’re one of the millions of Americans who made the typical New Year’s resolution to exercise more in 2009, you’re in luck! The Chicago Park District Fitness Centers, which are already quite affordable, are offering free admission to all city gyms from Jan. 2-16.
As an added incentive, if you register for the winter session (Jan.-Mar.) by the 16th, you’ll receive a free Nike bag!
According to the Chicago Park District’s website, the city’s 60 new and improved fitness centers offer a high-quality, low-cost alternative to private gyms.
Membership rates range from $40-$75 for a three-month session, a fraction of the cost of commercial gyms. These centers feature state-of-the-art equipment such as computerized treadmills, cross trainers, upright bikes, recumbent bikes, free weights and benches, cable cross-overs, multi-station weight machines and core-focused weight equipment.
In addition to equipment, many parks also offer a variety of classes including circuit training, conditioning, kickboxing, Pilates, yoga and aerobics.
