Prairie Lakes Fitness Center

One of the most popular features of the Community Center is the Prairie Lakes Fitness Center, a state of the art exercise facility. Year-round, we are open early and late, to fit your workout schedule! The Fitness Center features a wide variety of cardio and strength training equipment, saunas, a whirlpool, locker rooms and much more. Members and daily users can enjoy a full body workout in a spacious, positive environment, with high vaulted ceilings and mirrored walls. The center has a Cardio Vision System which includes individual receivers on most of the cardio equipment, so you can listen to programs from your choice of six flat panel TV screens. The newly installed Strength Room is designed to help athletes—and all fitness members— reach the next level in their strength training goals.
Come in for a tour. We’re always happy to show you around!

The indoor walking/jogging track is included in all Fitness Memberships and the daily Fitness Center fee. We also have an annual Track Only Membership, Read about it HERE.
The outdoor path is available for walking, jogging, rollerblading and bicycle riding.

Here are four very special Fitness Membership programs that we offer.

We’re proud to welcome members of the award-winning Tivity Health™ SilverSneakers® and Prime® Fitness programs.
Both are available to members of participating health plans and employer groups. The SilverSneakers and Prime Fitness programs are a benefit that’s included in more than 65 Medicare health plans, that provides a full membership to the Prairie Lakes Fitness Center. The SilverSneakers and Prime Fitness programs at the park district have an additional benefit: full use of the Fitness Center at Prairie Lakes and the Health Club at the Leisure Center. We’ve made it easier for you to get fit and stay healthy. Check your eligibility today, give us a call, and let’s get started!

We proudly serve Renew Active™ by UnitedHealthcare members.
