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 from which 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.

Ashlee holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from Michigan State University. Prior to pursuing her dog training interests she honed her skills of positive reinforcement training while working with zoo animals at facilities in the Midwest.

Ashlee’s competition dog Spirit is the American Kennel Club’s (AKC) number one ranked German Wirehaired Pointer in agility for 2008–2012. He is the second of his breed to earn an AKC Master Agility Championship title, as well as the only German Wirehaired Pointer to reach the finals of an AKC National Agility event, a feat Ashlee has handled him to accomplish twice.

HAPKIDO

TAI CHI

Master Hoon Lee has practiced martial arts for over 45 years. His training includes Hapkido, Hwarangdo, Kendo, Tai Chi, Judo and Aikido.

Prior to establishing Lee’s Tai Chi Hapkido Kendo School in 1999, Master Lee taught martial arts at Kansas State University, YMCAs in the Chicago metropolitan area, the Northern Suburban Chinese School, Andersen Consulting and Baxter Healthcare International.

TAI CHI

HAPKIDO

Tai Chi is a low-impact martial art developed to improve circulation, tone muscles, increase flexibility, improve posture, enhance balance and induce relaxation. Often Tai Chi is studied for its health benefits but this art also has practical and calming benefits for daily life as well. Tai Chi is used by martial arts practitioners to enhance the study of the other art forms.

Tai Chi class on Tuesdays covers cultivation of mind, body and spirit by performing a series of Tai Chi and Qi Gong movements and postures as a synchronized group meditation. Qi Gong is the Chinese philosophy and practice of aligning breath, physical activity and awareness for mental, spiritual and physical health.

Tai Chi class on Thursdays covers principle and advance techniques of Yang style Tai Chi. In this class students study the traditional forms in depth and also learn meditation, partner sensitivity training and utilize the sword, knife, staff, fan and Qi Gong practices.

Hapkido, the newest addition to the growing stable of Winnetka Community House martial arts programs, is a dynamic Korean style martial art primarily focusing on self-defense without injury to the aggressor. Many techniques learned in Hapkido training can be integrated into daily life, such as falling techniques, personal safety and situational awareness. The training includes kicking, punching, throwing, falling, pressure points, sparring and more.

Since its creation in 1999, On-the-Go Sports Inc. has been committed to enriching the lives of America’s youth by encouraging young people to become involved in sports. By becoming active in a particular sport and being a part of a team environment, children can gain a positive attitude, increased confidence levels, and respect both on and off the playing field. Empirical data suggests that children who are involved in athletics receive better grades in school, higher college attendance rates, and become more productive adults within their communities. On-the-Go Sports is dedicated to teaching teamwork, respect for self and others, and goal setting in a fun, friendly and exciting environment. At On-the-Go Sports Inc., our founding belief and principle is that the best coaches are those who have excelled in their respective sport but more importantly, possess the aptitude, skill level and patience to teach youth participants. Building upon that belief, we have created partnerships with intercollegiate athletic departments and professional sports organizations in the Midwest to find staff members for our camps and clinics. Our most distinguishing factor quite simply is that every staff member has played the sport they coach at the collegiate, semi-professional, and/or professional level.

On-the-go Sport’s coaching staff is among the most elite and truly represent the apex of youth sports training and skill development. We pride ourselves on combining the 3 C’s (Credibility, Credentials and Competence) with the 3 E’s (Energy, Experience and Expertise) to create a wonderful sports atmosphere and learning environment for area youth!

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. 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 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 Winnetka Community House automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses.

I do hereby fully release and discharge 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.
