We are excited to share that the River District Development Zone 1 Project begins October 1, 2020. More information about the River District project is available https://www.elkhartriverdistrict.com/.
It is anticipated that this phase of the project will last about a year.
Parking on the south end of the lot at Elkhart Health & Aquatics is impacted, and you’ll note the map below that shows how traffic in and out of the lot will flow. Traffic in the pass through lane of the parking lot will be one way, to the east.
Thank you for your cooperation as we anticipate the completion of this phase, and the continued investment in our community!

Carly is a personal trainer at our Elkhart location, she loves helping people get over their fear of the gym and live a healthy life. Here is what one of her clients had to say about training with Carly.
"My time training with Carly was time very well spent as coming from someone who knew very little about training for fitness. She had every, session planned out minute by minute. She didn’t waste any time and was very organized. Carly really went out of her way to get to know each of her clients and she knew exactly what I could handle and when I was reaching my limit. I came a long way with her from where I started which was little to no knowledge about weight training. One thing I loved about Carly was that she didn’t make me feel any shame in not knowing how to do certain things and was extremely motivating. She taught me to love working out because she helped me with everything I needed to know and made the process really easy.

A Les Mills Virtual Class
Exercising muscles around the core, CXWORX™ provides the vital ingredient for a stronger body. A stronger core makes you better at all things you do, from everyday life to your favorite sports - it’s the glue that holds everything together.
All the moves in CXWORX have options, so it’s challenging but achievable for your level of fitness. During the 30-minute workout, trained instructors guide you through correct technique as you work with resistance tubes and weight plates, as well as body weight exercises like crunches, and hovers. You will also get into some hip, butt and lower back exercises.
Coming Monday September 28th!

A Les Mills Virtual Class
RPM™ is a group indoor cycling workout where you control the intensity. It’s fun, low impact and you can burn up to 675 calories a session.
With great music pumping your instructor takes you on a journey of hill climbs, sprints and flat riding. In an RPM workout you repeatedly spin the pedals to reach your cardio peak then ease back down to lift your personal performance and boost your cardio fitness.
It’s a journey, not a race!

Meet Tyler, a personal trainer at Elkhart! Here is what one of his clients had to say about training with him.
"I have been training with Tyler since January of 2020. Even with the break from training during the heart of the pandemic, I have found myself noticing results daily. As a non athletic person, I feel that Tyler has been systematically leading me to success. When I think back on the exercises we began with to those we are doing today, I realize there has always been a plan. His ability to explain, break down, and modify has allowed me to feel encouraged along the way. I have been very impressed with what Tyler has led me to do and would highly recommend him to anyone, at any fitness level, who is looking for a trainer."

Beacon Best Medicine - Joint Venture (Arthritis Fitness)
Ms. Conrad has helped me make permanent life changes for better health.
She has been my Fitness Instructor for the Joint Venture II, Warm Water Therapy Pool sessions for the past 2 ½ years now. As a Physical Education Major myself, I have come to appreciate the knowledge that Coach Conrad has developed with regards to warming-up, stretching, strength training, cardio vascular exercise, and guidance in diet & nutrition. She has the unique ability to motivate me and the rest of the group in order to improve our performance daily, increasing core strength for balance and focus, with energy and flexibility. Coach Conrad instructs us in the proper technique and proper alignment to insure a safe workout. All while understanding my, and the groups’ limitations. Without intimidation, her attitude, dedication, enthusiasm and patience to what she does is exceptional.
In the future I will continue to enroll in the Best Medicine/Joint Venture Program; in conjunction with the other loyal and devoted Wellness & Fitness Coaches.

With great music pumping and the group spinning as one, your instructor takes you on a journey of hill climbs, sprints and flat riding. In an RPM workout you repeatedly spin the pedals to reach your cardio peak then ease back down, keeping pace with the pack to lift your personal performance and boost your cardio fitness.
RPM is a great way to build up your sense of personal achievement. You can draw on the group’s energy and find your rhythm in the music. You control your own resistance levels and speed so you can build up your fitness level over time. It’s a journey, not a race!
