They offer Chicagoans of all ages important opportunities for exercise and community at little or no cost. Just a sample of the classes includes Teen Fit Box, Special Education Cardio Conditioning, Senior Chair Exercise, Adult Circuit training, Yoga, Mommy & Me, Nutrition and Pilates. The Wellness program also funds fitness centers in many parks.
