Benefits of Personal Training

Serious athletes have long used personal trainers to enhance their performance in competition. Movie stars are known to hire personal trainers to keep them fitting into their Oscar gowns. But the people who benefit most from personal training are ordinary men and women seeking to be stronger and function more effectively in their everyday lives. Working with a trainer, anyone can achieve their fitness goals goals as modest as touching your toes again or as ambitious as preparing to run a marathon. Whether you want to lose weight, regain flexibility, develop speed or simply feel good again, personal training is an activity that will continue to benefit in years to come. Our personal trainers main objectives are to assist, guide, and educate those who wish to experience a greater ease and physical ability in their lives.

S EVEN STA R K UNG - F U

(A DIVISION OF HOOPS4HEALTH)
You may know Kung-Fu because of Bruce Lee. However, it actually dated back thousands of years before him. It is an ancient Chinese martial art that brings self-defense, confidence, discipline and conditioning to its students. We will teach Northern Shaolin and animal forms. Kung-Fu training includes stances, stretching, conditioning, meditation/relaxation (Tai-Chi) and forms. All classes are always taught in a safe environment. Through dedicated training students can move up in belt levels. In Kung-Fu, students start with no belt and have to earn their first belt, which is a white belt. There is criteria that a student must learn to test for a new belt level. Students go at their own pace in belt progression. Master Jing Chao Wu is recognized by the Chinese government as an official First Degree Wushu Judge and First Degree Wushu Athlete. He has been deeply passionate about the martial arts since early childhood, and first began training under the guidance of Zhang Yongqiang, a 32nd generation Shaolin monk. In 1990, Master Wu began training in the Shandong Province Tengzhou City School of Physical Education, and later entered the Henan Shaolin Temple to pursue traditional forms training and grew to new heights in Kung Fu, Tai-Chi and Qigong. He graduated from the Beijing University of Physical Education in 2005 and coached at the Shandong Province Tengzhou City Olympic Sports School and the Beijing Shaolin Martial Arts School. He has actively participated in various martial arts events in China and around the world. Master Wu has been a serious competitor at numerous events and has won first place in Mantis Boxing at the International Wudang Martial Arts Festival Traditional Forms Competition and first place in double whips at the National Traditional Martial Arts Competition in China. Master Wu is a dedicated teacher who not only emphasizes proper technique, but also seeks to develop the martial spirit within each student. He is very passionate about spreading knowledge and appreciation of the Chinese martial arts around the world.

Participants and parents registering their child in recreation programs must recognize, however, that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreation activities. Winnetka Community House continually strives to reduce such risks, and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions which have been designed to protect the participants safety. Please recognize that Winnetka Community House does not carry medical accident insurance for injuries sustained in its programs. The cost of such would make program fees prohibitive. Therefore, each person registering himself\herself or a family member for a recreation program/activity should review his/her own health insurance policy for coverage. It must be noted that the absence of health insurance coverage does not make Winnetka Community House automatically responsible for payment of medical expenses.

I agree to waive and relinquish all claims I may have as a result of participating in the program against Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees. I do hereby fully release and discharge Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or loss which I may have or which may accrue to me on account of my participation. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless and defend Winnetka Community House and its officers, agents, servants and employees from any and all claims from injuries, including death, damages or losses sustained by me or arising out of, connected with, or in any way associated with the activities of the program.
