Dale A Noack, Store Manager at 2nd Wind Exercise in Mokena, gave us a deeper look into what the store offers:

When did 2nd Wind Exercise in Mokena open? Why Mokena?

2nd Wind Exercise in Mokena opened up in June 2006; 2nd Wind as a company has been open for 20 years.  We came to Mokena for the fact that it was an up-and-coming area with a bright future.  We are glad to be here and strive to be the health and fitness resource for Mokena residents to use.

How did you first get involved with the business?

I have personally been in the business over the past decade.  Being a Certified Trainer, I have a passion for helping people, going a step above and creating a plan that will change their lives.  In our store, we offer the
best equipment and knowledge to help you make a great decision in your health.

Why would you recommend buying equipment rather than going to a gym?

When you have equipment in your home, you tend to use it more often and look at it as an investment in your health, rather than a monthly EFT membership at a gym, which seems to be forgotten when life gets busy.  There is also a convenience factor with home exercise equipment, especially this time of year when the weather isn't that great.

What type of equipment seems to be the most popular purchase?

Today, the elliptical is the most popular piece of exercise equipment that is sold in our store.  We have also been building quite a craze with the PowerPlate Acceleration training.

What’s involved in the personal training you offer?

In our store, we offer personal training to anyone who purchases equipment from us. We want to make sure that the equipment that you do purchase is the correct piece for you and is going to give you the results that you desire.  We will train you on the piece that you purchase.

What is the number one fitness tip you would offer somebody?

The number one tip I would say is to really be patient. Many people today are looking for the quick fix or a magic pill they can take to aid in weight loss. In reality, it takes time to do it correctly and achieve healthy results.  Be patient, stick to your diet and training, and the results will come.

Why should Mokena residents check out 2nd Wind?

We offer the best equipment selection in the Midwest, and we will also assist in helping you reach your fitness goals.  We have the knowledge and passion to help others.
