Sedgebrook’s State-of-the-Art Fitness Center Provides Everything You Need to Stick to Your Plan

THE ERICKSON TRIBUNE

Each year the desire to get fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle tops American’s resolution lists. As a result, early in the year, gym memberships spike in the valiant hope of obtaining these goals. Yet typically, by the spring, gym attendance begins to wane due to inconvenience and lack of support.

However, nothing could be further from the truth at Sedgebrook. The Fitness Center provides the support and convenience necessary to help anyone interested in physical fitness and wellbeing, and are eager to conquer their resolutions with confidence and enthusiasm.

A Dedicated Community

The popularity of the Fitness Center highlights Sedgebrook’s dedication to a healthy lifestyle. In fact, 41 percent of the total Sedgebrook population belongs to the Fitness Center, and even more visit the center on a monthly basis.

Equipped with a variety of exercise equipment including Keiser resistance machines, Nu Steps, treadmills, and recumbent bikes, the Fitness Center offers a full range of state-of-the-art equipment designed to meet the needs of everyone, regardless of fitness level.

No Excuses

Located within minutes of your front door, the Fitness Center is a luxury most people did not have before making the move to Sedgebrook. “Since moving to Sedgebrook, I do everything to keep myself healthy,” says Muriel Sherman. “I take exercise classes at the Fitness Center and use the machines.”

“The convenience is wonderful,” says Mary Bazell, “the Fitness Center is definitely something you don’t have in your house.”

Bev Rathje agrees. “I don’t have to worry about getting dressed up, getting into the car, worrying about traffic. Instead, I’ll just go through the climate-controlled walkways right to the Fitness Center and do whatever I want to do.”

Not only is the Fitness Center well equipped, but it  is also well organized and well managed. Sedgebrook’s Wellness Manager Kelley Morris works diligently to create personal fitness plans for each member. These plans identify appropriate  exercises for each individual’sfitness level.

“The Fitness Center is so convenient,” says Harriet Wolf. “Kelley Morris taught me how to use the machines and is going to create a whole fitness program for me. I really feel stronger now.”

“Without a doubt, the personalized fitness plans are the #1 reason why people continue to make regular visits to the Fitness Center,” says Kelley. “They are less likely to get discouraged or injured while executing workout routines that carefully address their individual goals and fitness level.”

Exercising With Friends

In addition to the variety of aerobic and strength training apparatus, the Sedgebrook Fitness Center also offers group exercise classes including “Ocean Motion” a water aerobics class, and “Forever Fit” focusing on stretching and strengthening.

These classes encourage proper physical conditioning in a group friendly, nonintimidating environment. For many, they also present opportunities to socialize and meet new people.

A Great Deal

For the convenience and high level of personalized attention you receive at the Sedgebrook Fitness Center, you would think that the monthly membership fee would be out-of-this-world. However, nothing could be further from the truth.

When comparing the costs of gym memberships throughout the Chicagoland area, Sedgebrook offers an attractive and unbeatable alternative. Monthly membership fees at local health clubs range in price from $35 to $80, while Sedgebrook’s monthly fee remains a low $16 a month.

This remarkable deal includes full-access to all Fitness Center equipment including the all-season swimming pool, and three fitness sessions with the fitness trainer. That’s a savings of $216 a year! No where else can you get free professional fitness training in a state-of-the-art Fitness Center.
