PT 360 Trainer Feature – Kate Paige
Kate is one of our senior tier trainers, a figure competitor and coach, and a swim coach. After a 13 year competitive swim career, Kate “retired the goggles” post college. While she kept up at the gym, strength training and running, she found that she missed training for something specific and competing. That’s when she found body building in the figure category. It was something new and exciting, something to train for, and something to compete in! She’d been weight lifting for 12 years and loved it from the moment she picked up her first set of dumbbells, so why not compete in something that is heavily based on weight training (and NUTRITION!!)? That’s where she says she learned the most (the diet and macros), as well as how much self-control and discipline she had. The result is extremely rewarding! If you have any questions, want to change the shape of your body, or are interested in competing, please contact ICPT360@Lakeshoresf.com to set up an appointment.

Free Childcare if you are Dining at Harvest!
Looking for a date night or some drinks with friends? For members and non-members who are dining and drinking at our amazing Harvest restaurant, childcare is free! For two hours your child will explore our materials, play outside, dance, do arts and crafts, listen to music and socialize with friends. Please remember to bring a receipt to childcare staff after your visit so we can make sure you are not charged. Our playroom is open from 7:30 am – 9:00 pm Monday – Saturday and 7:30 am -6:00 PM on Sundays!

Movie Nights Have Started
Saturday night is outdoor movie night at LSF. Movies start as soon as it is dark enough to see – generally around 8:00 PM. The schedule for movies is available on our web-site under the Programs & Schedules tab and movies for the next few weeks are listed below:

Even if a court is empty, you may not just use the court. If you are part of pre-paid summer programming, you are entitled to complimentary court reservations – please contact the Front Desk to make these reservations. Finally, tennis courts reservations are only for tennis or pickleball play. Should you want to use the courts for any other purpose, please
contact LPRacquets@LakeshoreSF.com to make arrangements. Racquets can be rented from the Front Desk and balls may be purchased from there as well.

Just for Adults

Make Your Day with a Sparkling Rosé!
Currently on our Harvest Rooftop we are featuring the Canard-Duchêne Charles VII Brut Rosé for a limited time only! Lakeshore Sport & Fitness is the only place you can buy it by the glass in the entire city. On its centennial anniversary, Canard-Duchêne created the exceptional Charles VII cuvée in tribute to the Champagne region’s royal past. Food and Beverage manager, Robin Sweet, describes it as “soft, elegant, sultry and leaves you yearning for another glass.” With just one glass, you yourself will feel like royalty. This delightful beverage pairs perfectly with Chef Trevor’s Faroe Island Salmon Entree for dinner on the roof. Taste the freshness of the wild salmon caught off the coast of Norway blended with a delicate clam sauce. Top it off herbs and spices from our very own rooftop garden and you have the ingredients for a perfect evening.

Learn the Difference of Functional Training versus Strength Training
Functional training is a full body training style that allows individuals to adapt or develop exercises which allow individuals to perform the activities of daily life more easily and without injuries. This style is to be more generally fit and ready for whatever curve balls life throws at you, while helping reduce the risks of injuries. This training style can also be specific to a certain function of goal in mind, for example running a marathon and can help make an individual’s body type leaner with lower body fat percentages.

Strength training is training with the use of resistance. The resistance can be weight, body weight, the force of gravity, etc. Strength training focuses on muscle contraction which helps build strength, anaerobic endurance, and increasing the size of skeletal muscles. Strength training can help improve general health and well-being, increase bone density (which is vital while and individual ages), increasing muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint strength, increased metabolism, and good cardiac health.

It is important that an individual practices both styles of training in order to handle the hurdles of life, and maintain a healthy body. For more information or a hands on demonstration email PT360@LakeshoreSF.com

Direct Access to Lakeshore Physical Therapy is Near!
Until recently, Illinois was one of a handful of states that required physical therapy patients to obtain a prescription for care from a medical doctor. This is about to change! Our direct access bill officially passed both chambers of the Illinois General Assembly and is sitting on Governor Rauner’s desk awaiting signature. Bill HB 4643 amends the law to allow physical therapists to evaluate and treat patients without a prescription, thus eliminating wait time for care and lowering costs associated with multiple office visits. When signed, anyone who feels they would benefit from physical therapy can schedule a consultation, rather than waiting for the symptoms to become chronic or more severe.

In addition to saving money by early intervention, physical therapy is a safe, effective, nonaddictive, non-invasive treatment option for many painful conditions. Our physical therapy community is confident that with less barriers, the patient can choose PT as a first treatment option leading to a speedy recovery.

Joanna – Lead Camp Consoler
Joanna is an amazing addition to this year’s camp staff. She’s currently at Smith College in Massachusetts studying Neuroscience.

Q: Is a hotdog a sandwich and why?
A: A hotdog is not a sandwich because the bread is sliced vertically instead of horizontally. I bet you’ve never heard that answer before!

Q: Who would win- a duck sized horse or a horse sized duck?
A: Oh, size would definitely win. So it’s the duck sized horse…no, no, no, the horse sized duck!

Q: If you could teach the whole world one thing what would it be?
A: How to use words effectively, because I think communication is important. Yeah.

Q: What is one thing that made you smile today?
A: Ohhh, my campers! Definitely my campers, they’re so funny. They make me laugh every day.

Q: What is your favorite day and why?
A: Ya know, I love Wednesdays. Because of that Geico commercial? With a camel, and he’s like, “Guess what day it is? Hump day!”

Linus B. aka (Blanket) – Team: Ramblers, 8yo
Linus is one the campers that always has a smile, and always fun to be around because of his smart cheeky answers and classy British accent.

Q: Is a hotdog a sandwich and why?
A: Yes, It is because it has bread and something inside it.

Q: Who would win- a duck sized horse or a horse sized duck?
A: A horse sized duck, because it’s bigger and probably faster.

Q: If you could teach the whole world one thing what would it be?
A: To run.

Q: What is one thing that made you smile today?
A: Being questioned!

Q: What is your favorite day and why?
A: Halloween, ’cause you get candy.

Men’s Locker Room Work
We will start re-building the back bay of showers in the men’s locker room. We had a burst pipe in this area earlier this year and have blocked them off until our slower summer season as we will need to close off the entire bay of shares to do this work. Our team will be accessing this space from the exterior so as to minimize inconvenience to our members. Because we know that there are a lot of uncertainties in  construction, we do not provide a date when the project will be completed but we will work expeditiously to get this work done.

Want to take your family camping but not quite ready for the true wilderness? Join us on the rooftop for a night of camping, Lakeshore style on July 20th.

Additional adults are welcome for $25 each and additional children are welcome for $15 each.

LSF Group Fitness Director Marcelo Ehrhardt put his practice and training to work! Marcelo recently competed in the Madison 70.3 Ironman placing 7th in his age group. He persevered through the heavy rains, choppy water and muddy conditions and finished the 70.3 mile in 4 hours and 59 minutes. He accomplished this with a 30 minute swim, 2 hour 45 minutes bike and 1 hour and 34 minutes run. Congrats Marcelo!

Meet with a Trainer to Design Your Personal Plan to Fitness
Did you know that with every membership comes 2 free meetings with a PT30 Team Member? The first time you meet with our team you will be put through a variety of diagnostics including a movement screen. This screen helps identify what muscles in your body are over developed and which muscles may be underdeveloped. It also tells us if your body is moving efficiently. Having this info will help your trainer plan a workout within the week for your second meeting, to give you a feel for what it is like to go through a custom fitness program. The second meeting will be a full work out! We plan a onetime workout with all of your wants and needs taking into account how your body moves. To schedule your first meeting or for more information email PT360@LakseshoreSF.com

If you have guests who are interested in membership, our membership team will be pleased to host them – but please arrange this ahead of your visit to minimize wait time.

Best Way to Communicate with Lakeshore Departments
The best way to communicate with our department managers to get information about programming or coordinate an instructor is through email as our team members are active around and about the club or working with other members. All of our group emails, such as LPAquatics@LakeshoreSF.com or LPCamps@LakeshoreSF.com are monitored by several people, often with extended hours of coverage, so we can make sure to get back to you as quickly as possible. We do have an expectation of a 24 hour response time for all communications from our team. There have been some issues with spam filters lately preventing our emails from reaching some members so we do encourage you to both check your spam and configure your spam filter to allow emails from our domain.
