In-Home Personal Training in Lincoln Park, Chicago

Oz Park has ball fields and courts with room for sprints, agility drills and bodyweight circuits, so a full session can happen without leaving the grass. To the east, the lakefront parkland around North Pond and its nature sanctuary is a quieter setting for mobility work and longer walks, while the lakefront paths up toward Diversey Harbor suit steady runs. Train outside while it's warm, then move back to your living room or building gym when winter arrives.

Lincoln Park housing runs from frame cottages and row houses in Mid-North and around Sheffield/DePaul to two- and three-flats and older houses that have been rehabbed. If your rooms are long and narrow, your trainer works with that shape, using a hallway for walking lunges and the front room for a strength circuit. Closer to the park you'll find high-rise apartments, and if your building has a fitness center and management allows it, you can train there. Otherwise a living-room rug is enough, because your trainer brings the bands and dumbbells.

If your building has a fitness center or community room, a regular class can put it to work. Chitown Trainer runs group fitness classes for residential buildings and offices, including yoga, total body, cardio kickboxing, Pilates, foam rolling and postural realignment. A standing class gives neighbors a reason to show up together, and anyone who wants more can add one-on-one sessions in their own unit. We've also run resident fitness programs in buildings such as the Residences at NEW CITY. Ask about classes during your free consultation.
