Participants can also unwind and find inner peace during a serene yoga session at Fischer Farm. Yoga at the Farm takes place from 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday, July 13. The picturesque surroundings of the farm provide the perfect backdrop for this Vinyasa yoga class, which focuses on synchronized movements with breath and aims to enhance strength, flexibility and mental clarity.
Those ages 21+ can recharge and refresh with an hour-long yoga flow with two hours of bottomless mimosas among the tranquil sounds of nature and nearby waterfall and fountain at White Pines’ Sunrise Yoga & Mimosas. The fee is $25 for the event, which runs from 8 to 10 a.m. Saturday, July 20.
With Zumba on the pool deck and in the water, the Zumba Surf N’ Turf pool party from 7-7:45 p.m. Wednesday, August 7, at the Bensenville Water Park & Splash Pad is included in the 2024 Fitness Dayz schedule. The event is free for season pass holders as well as Wood Street Fitness Core Class Pass members. Otherwise, it is $8 to join the fun ($6 for those in district).
Finally, from 9 to 10 a.m. Sunday, August 18, Varble Park will host an invigorating outdoor boot camp session. This comprehensive workout incorporates various exercises, including strength, balance, core, speed, agility circuits and resistance training, providing participants with a full-body workout. Led by skilled trainers, the boot camp is designed to challenge participants and improve overall fitness levels.
Participants are advised to bring their workout shoes and water to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience during Fitness Dayz. The free events are open to individuals of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to fitness enthusiasts. Some restrictions may apply to the fee-based programs.
