Wearable technology or a simple post it note- WE GOT YOU! Rewards effort rather than level of fitness.

One of the biggest changes this year is “Virtual” everything!

Looking for a fitness program that doesn’t involve a gruesome workout on a treadmill? Aqua aerobics is a wonderful all-over body workout and a great way to mix up a traditional gym workout with the fantastic benefits of water.

The Chicago Heights Club will be switching both the lap and therapy pools to salt water in the next month. Within the last five years, the Chesterton and Schererville pools have all been converted to salt water. Members have been happy with the differences the conversion made.

MEP for a good cause. A chance to share the love with your favorite charity. Since the kickoff of the pandemic, Myzone has provided some amazing global MEPs challenges offering everyday people a chance to earn prizes.

What’s all the excitement? Have you seen our Myzone Leader board? It is a ranking of the Top 20 participants for the most MEPs earned in the month. Are you on the board?

There may be a lot of unknown currently in the world, however what is known is that practicing these 7 tips can help you stay healthy during quarantine. Be sure to check the website for updates!

Stay active while staying protected at home. One of those being our Group Exercise Class at Home Workouts that have been recorded with our Franciscan Health Fitness Centers certified instructors!

The new fad during this pandemic...a sidewalk chalk workout. It is simple and easy. What is nice about this innovating workout is that you have an open canvas to put whatever you choose.

While keeping staff both working and safe, the fitness center staff has been supporting the local Franciscan Hospitals by making much needed PPE.

As our lifestyles and daily habits change during the COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place, kindness to each other is not only easy to practice, it’s even more important than ever.

Training from home has benefits you may have overlooked with new options including LesMills Virtual workouts videos, online exercise classes, Myzone Master Trainer classes and Franciscan’s own trainer videos of the classes you love.

Here’s a fun at-home workout that uses simple products you have on hand. Shelter-in-place doesn’t have to mean stay-in-place. Get up and get moving with this core and strength workout from Lisa.

Do you know what affects the health of your bones? And that basic self-care for your bones should include strength training? We have plenty of options for you to choose from in our on-line At Home Workouts.

Massage helps alleviate stress and the symptoms of many health conditions. Whether you need a Deep Tissue, Hot Stone or Ashiatsu Massage, we are here with options. Appointments are available in our Chesterton Club.

Handwashing is a vital part of our everyday lives, but is even more important during certain times of year, like cold and flu season. But proper handwashing is not just for the winter months – it's a year-round good habit.

In the first part of November, we collected your leftover Halloween candy and put it to great use! Members and Staff alike were encouraged to donate the leftover candy rather than do extra jumping jacks for a handful of M&M’s.

Schererville Members Win National Honors at United Healthcare U.S. Open Racquetball Championships and the duo won each bracket without losing a single game.

15 years ago, Sandy Povlinski, an avid runner, began looking for a gentler way to exercise. We are happy her journey brought her to our Fitness Centers.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Beginning at age 40, you should have a mammogram every year or as directed by your health care professional.

After a Night of Storms…

Music echoed through Franciscan Health Fitness Centers on Thursday night, September 19, 2019, as some 300 participants worked up a sweat in between health screenings, snacks and ...
