Take Your Workout Further
Group Exercise classes can be an important component of your fitness regimen. Park Center Health & Fitness offers two types of Group Exercise classes: Passport Classes and Specialty Classes.
PASSPORT CLASSES
Want to try a new class without making a long-term commitment? Then purchase a Park Center Health & Fitness Group Exercise Passport.
Glenview Park District Group Exercise Classes offer:
Variety. From low impact aerobics and yoga to high energy Zumba and spin classes, we offer over 90 classes each week and are constantly adding new programs to bring you the latest trends in fitness.
Flexibility. Classes are offered seven days a week throughout the day so you’re sure to find a time and class that fits your schedule.
Value. Group Exercise Passports are available in denominations of 5, 10, 20 or 40 classes so you can choose the passport that’s right for you. The higher the passport denomination, the less you pay per class. A PCHF membership is not required to purchase a Passport. Passports expire six months from date of purchase. Please see the price chart below for Passport fees.
