Enjoy Fitness & Fun at Ackerman SFC’s Open House!

Posted on: October 3, 2018

Staying active is the best way to get or maintain a healthy fitness level, and the Glen Ellyn Park District does its part by offering a wide variety of fitness options for adults and kids. On Saturday, November 3rd, from 12:00 – 2:00 pm, the Ackerman Sports & Fitness Center in Glen Ellyn will be holding an Open House to showcase the facility, the classes, and the other programs that make it one of Glen Ellyn’s premier fitness centers. Registration is not required, and attendance is free for both members and non-members.

Wear the appropriate workout attire during your visit. “We’ll offer a variety of sample fitness classes for people to try out,” said Chad Shingler, Assistant Facility Manager for the Glen Ellyn Park District. “In the Group Fitness Studio, we’ll offer classes in half-hour increments beginning at noon. The first class will be Family Yoga, followed by Power Yoga, Tabata, and Boom Muscle. In the gym, Kids Fitness Bootcamp will take place from 12:00 – 12:45 pm, and Kids Zumba will be from 1:00 – 1:45 pm.”

In addition to sample classes, Ackerman SFC staff will offer facility tours and a chance to meet with personal trainers. “Attendees can have free use of our fitness center, including the gym, the turf, the track, and the rock wall,” said Shingler. “We’ll also offer giveaways and a chance to learn about our Fit4Mom DuPage program.” DuPage Healthcare, Ltd. will be on-site offering complimentary mini-massages during the event.

Ackerman SFC provides many benefits to its members. “We offer our members over 50 free fitness classes, use of the fitness center and indoor track, and open sessions in the gym and on the turf and the rock wall when they’re available,” explained Shingler. “We also offer free child care, use of locker rooms and showers with complimentary towel service, and a discount on personal training sessions with a free first session. Members can also enjoy a monthly lap swimming membership at the College of DuPage for an additional $15/month.”

Feedback from current Ackerman SFC members is overwhelmingly positive. “Members particularly value the free Group Fitness classes, the Adult/Tot Open Climb on our Ackerman Alps rock wall, and the facility’s hours that accommodate members’ schedules,” added Shingler. “We’re also proud to announce an Open House exclusive offer: anyone who joins the Ackerman SFC during the Open House will receive their first month free!” Please note that this offer does not apply to 1-month, 3-month, or walking track memberships.
