In-Home Personal Training in Lincoln Park, Chicago

Lincoln Park's housing splits two ways. About 43 percent of homes are in buildings of 20 or more units, including the high-rises developers put up near the park, while roughly a third of all homes predate 1940. The City's 1974 report on the Mid-North District counted about 480 buildings, most built between 1871 and 1900, including frame cottages, flat-front and bay-front row houses, and two- and three-flats. A trainer can work in your building's fitness center where management allows it, or in your living room with equipment they bring.

The community area runs from North Avenue up to Diversey Parkway, between the Chicago River and the lake. Inside it are Lincoln Central, Mid-North, Park West, Ranch Triangle, Wrightwood, Sheffield and the DePaul area, where McCormick Seminary sold its land to DePaul University in 1973. The Clybourn Corridor retail district sits on the west side and continues south into the Near North Side. Metra's Clybourn station, at 2001 N. Ashland on the Union Pacific North line, is just west, between the DePaul area and Bucktown.

Along the community area's lake edge runs Lincoln Park itself, more than 1,100 acres of parkland stretching from Ohio Street Beach north to Ardmore Avenue. North Pond, at 2610 N. Cannon Drive, has a nature sanctuary, and Diversey Harbor anchors the north end. Inland, Oz Park at 2021 N. Burling covers 14.4 acres with tennis and basketball courts, ball fields and statues of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion. Any of these can host an outdoor session.
