Benefits of Personal Training

Serious athletes have long used personal trainers to enhance their performance in competition. Movie stars are known to hire personal trainers to keep them fitting into their Oscar gowns. But the people who benefit most from personal training are ordinary men and women seeking to be stronger and function more effectively in their everyday lives. Working with a trainer, anyone can achieve their fitness goals - goals as modest as touching your toes again or as ambitious as preparing to run a marathon. Whether you want to lose weight, regain flexibility, develop speed or simply feel good again, personal training is an activity that you will continue to reap benefits in years to come. Our personal trainers main objectives are to assist, guide and educate those who wish to experience a greater ease and physical ability in their lives.

Hoops4Health is a newly founded organization whose aim is to better the lives of its students. Our goal is to make a positive impact on youth by providing them a fun learning experience in the sport of basketball as well as teaching them how to live a healthy lifestyle off the court. We cater to kids of all ages and skill levels. Our four keys are mind, body, nutrition and discipline. We offer a wide range of programs including basketball camps/clinics, nutrition classes, Tai-chi, Kung-Fu, AAU basketball travel teams, and more. All coaches and teachers are qualified professionals in their field. On-The-Go SPORTS is headed by Chris Martin, former Northwestern University All-American, Chicago Bears Defensive Back, and Big Ten Network football analyst and host.

In 2009 he taught at The Shaolin Temple Overseas Headquarters in New York and O-Mei Shaolin Kung-Fu in Washington DC. He has studied martial arts since the age of eight at the Shaolin Temple in China. You may know Kung-Fu because of Bruce Lee. However, it actually dated back thousands of years before him. It is an ancient Chinese martial art that brings self defense, confidence, discipline and conditioning to its students. We will teach Northern and Southern styles with Shaolin and animal forms. Kung-Fu training includes stances, stretching, conditioning, meditation/relaxation (Tai-Chi) and forms. All classes are always taught in a safe environment. Students through dedicated training can move up in belt levels. In Kung-Fu students start with no belt and have to earn there first belt which is a white belt. There is a criterion that a student must learn to test for a new belt level. Students go at their own pace in belt progression. Receiving the belt is a great symbol of the learning but most of all it is the personal gain in health, mind, body and spirit which is the ultimate satisfaction. Our professional staff of decorated teachers cant wait to share their passion and knowledge of Kung-Fu. Have fun and enjoy entering the world of Kung-Fu! New students are required to purchase a uniform which includes pants, shirt, and shoes ($60). Belt Test ($25, one time fee for each belt, unlimited tries per belt).

The Art of Sushi
New!
Brandon Seyferth is a critically acclaimed songwriter and composer who is accomplished on the guitar, blues piano, drums and voice. Revue Magazine has dubbed one of the bands he has led to be the greatest band to come out of Chicago since the group Morphine in the 80s. On-TheTown Magazine has this to say: Seyferths travels through the mountains, Chinas industrial cities, and along the U.S. East Coast has afforded him a nomadic lifestyle where sleeping in the back of carnival trucks on the way to his next move in the next town created the perfect song writing school from which hes graduated with honors. Mr. Seyferth has performed and composed with Jackson Browne and Grammy Award winning musicians. His lengthy study and experience as a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist make him an excellent instructor who can get results in the playing of his students, and his love for music and learning translates into fun and rewarding lessons. Linda Schoenmakers, a retired educator, has served as a University of Illinois Master Gardener and has worked professionally as a garden designer and consultant on the north shore for the past ten years. Voice Coaches provides industry leading voice evaluation, training, and demo development. Our Production & Training Team is comprised of experts in acting, communication, broadcasting, and speech language pathology. In addition to education, our studio regularly hosts professional Voice Over production for clients including Discovery Networks, HGTV, Womans Entertainment Network, The Learning Channel, and others.

Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, is a powerful body and mind exercise system. It contains five sets of exercises that work on the energy circulation of the body. The movements are smooth and graciously flowing, and can be learned easily by any age group. The mind exercise is applying Zhen (truthfulness), Shan (compassion) and Ren (Forbearance) into daily life. This releases the stress and tension of physical and mental energy fields, making people more healthy and peaceful. Every Sunday; no charge for participation.

The Winnetka Community House is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in the safest manner possible, and holds the safety of the participants in the highest possible regard. Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. The Winnetka Community House continually strives to reduce such risks, and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants safety. Please recognize that the Winnetka Community House does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering himself\herself or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review his/her own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make the Winnetka Community House automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses. Due to the difficulty and high cost of obtaining liability insurance, the agency providing liability coverage for the Winnetka Community House REQUIRES the execution of the following Waiver and Release. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. Please read this form carefully, and be aware in participating in the program(s) listed on this page, you will be waiving and releasing all claims for injuries you might sustain arising out of the activities of this program. Waiver And Release Of All Claims As a participant in the program, I recognize and acknowledge that there are certain risks of physical injury, and I agree to assume the full risk of any injuries, including death, damages or loss, regardless of severity, which I may sustain as a result of participating in any and all activities connected with or associated with such program. I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I may have as a result of participating in the program against the Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees. I do hereby fully release and discharge the Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or loss which I may have or which may accrue to me on account of my participation. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend the Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or losses sustained by me or arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the activities of the program. In the event of emergency, I authorize Winnetka Community House officials to secure from any licensed hospital, physician, and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for my immediate care, and agree that I will be responsible for payment of any and all medical services required. All participants agree that any photography taken while participating in a class, special event or use of a facility may be used for promotional purposes the Winnetka Community House.
