The Great Escape: De-Stress With Your Workout Pick at the Yorkville REC Center

Lay daily stress to rest with this rec center's full-service fitness gym, which is open to surrounding communities.

Your teens are holding a car wash at the high school Saturday. The grandparents volunteered to take the younger children to a movie Sunday afternoon. Your tweens take tap on Wednesday evening. 

It’s your time. Take it.

Each week we’ll tell you about one great idea to give you a much deserved break, and make your life a little easier, maybe a whole lot easier.

Today's suggestion focuses on collecting yourself, one workout session at a time.

Loosen up, cool off and unwind at the Yorkville REC Center. The 38,000-square-foot fitness gymnasium has an abundance of amenities for you to enjoy.

A variety of gym features provide members with comfort, pleasure, and allow for a fun diversion from everyday routines. An indoor track and treadmill gives gym-goers a chance to run, jog, or speed-walk at their own pace. Perform some laps in the pool and then unwind in the whirlpool.

Shoot some hoops or partake in a volleyball game during open gymnasium hours on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Take your pick from a myriad of classes that include Pilates, Yoga, Zumba and cardio. Or find a personal trainer to help you develop a program to meet your specific needs.

Finish off with a shower and a tan—lockers are available. Also, for your convenience, take advantage of Kidz Club babysitting services. For more information, call 630-553-2582.
