The La Grange Business Association announces the launch of Free Wellness Week at 13 local businesses from October 5 through October 13 as a way of encouraging people to try new activities, improve health and make their wellness goals attainable.

Beginning October 5, participants may visit various wellness businesses and take advantage of free classes, equipment, training opportunities and screenings that cater to diverse needs and exercise preferences.

From pilates to power workouts, and chair tai chi to trigger point dry needling, there are a wide variety of wellness activities to choose from over the nine days - including a free checkup to assess the health of your business.

"We're providing the chance to kick start a path to happier and healthier living," said Nancy Cummings, Executive Director of the La Grange Business Association. "We see this as an opportunity to educate and inspire people with a wide range of wellness opportunities that are available in our community. It's a great time to try some new options for free."

Participating businesses are: Absolution Crossfit, Aging Care Connections, Boyce Chiropractic, Club Pilates, ElliptiHIT, Get in Shape for Women, Jacki Errico Fitness, La Grange Fitness, Luxxe/Honor, Orangetheory Fitness, Physical Sciences Institute, Plymouth Place and SAN Coaching.

Digital bonus coupons may be downloaded from the free La Grange mobile app for additional savings at selected businesses during the promotion. Offers and workout times vary and are subject to availability. Some restrictions, including reservations, may apply.
