FitRx challenges the full body, targeting muscle groups and creating strength and synergy head to toe. Standing, we'll work the upper and lower body separately before we fuse the two and call upon our core stability in a major way. We’ll execute planks in a variety of styles to strengthen our core and our posture. And we’ll hit crunches and bridges, adding weights and arm/leg move ments to give us a complete workout.
This is a welcoming place for babies and their parents to strengthen emotional and physical bonds in a positive, calm, and safe environment. We'll learn gentle and safe baby yoga stretches, age-appropriate developmental play, and infant massage techniques. We encourage our little ones to explore, move, listen, interact, communi cate, imagine and learn, using multi-sensory activities such as music and singing, para chute play, bubbles, story telling, scarves, shakers, and more — while connecting with a supportive community.

Since our founding in 1908, The Winnetka Club has been an integral part of the civic and philanthropic life of the North Shore Community. Thanks to our member’s participation and financial contributions, we have been able to: deliver numerous meals to front-line hospital workers in North Shore Hospitals; provide PPE to support the Winnetka Police Department; organize a food drive to support the New Trier Township Food Pantry; and financially support the educational and rebuilding efforts of My Block, My Hood, My City. High school members from our Youth Service Board work with residents at North Shore Place to make intergenerational friendships and the Club continues to award college scholarships to outstanding student leaders from New Trier Township high schools. We host a monthly Book Group and offer other social and cultural events for our membership, including museum tours and engaging lectures.
