By Sara Yaniga, Macaroni Kid Chicago (Midtown) July 31, 2019

I would like to thank everyone who came out to spend the morning with us at our first Family Fitness Pop-Up Play Date this week!  

It was a beautiful day to be outside and spend time with friends, new and old at Seneca Park.  We are already planning our next event which will be for expectant parents!  If you would like to be informed of this and any future events in the River North/Streeterville areas, click here.



A very special thank you to Drs. Timothy Blegen and Rebecca Unger from Northwestern Children's Practice, for giving their time and knowledge to us.  They offer a lot of informative sessions and new parent support at their office and you can check out their current schedule on their website.  Their next free event is "Prenatal to Cradle", a Q&A with doctors and lactation consultants on August 1st at 1:00 pm.

Also a big thank you to Luci Grause, owner of Skip & Scoot, who encouraged kid fitness through play on her obstacle course and to Erica Freeman with Baby Boot Camp Chicago for starting us off with a family-focused workout!  Both women have launched their businesses recently and it was a privilege to be able to get a taste of what they offer the Chicago community!

Skip & Scoot is currently offering a fall Fitness Adventure class at the Menomonee Club and is also available for on-location play dates and parties.  You can find out more here!

Baby Boot Camp Chicago holds regular "Mommy & Me" programs that offer fitness, nutrition and community support for parents and caregivers in Chicago.  Led by a certified professional, these 60-minute sessions are specifically designed for pregnant moms & new moms (who have a physician's clearnance), or moms with at least one "stroller-aged" child.  As a special perk, Erica is offering a FREE MONTH of classes for one lucky winner - just click here to enter to win!

Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you again!
