Welcome to Zumba Fitness in the NW Suburbs!  My name is Nancy Hildebrandt and I'm on a mission to help as many people as possible improve their health and fitness through positive lifestyle changes. As a personal trainer & fitness coach, my goal is to help others reach their goals and to have fun doing it. Don't think you can have fun exercising? If not, then you probably haven't tried a Zumba class yet.  It's truly some of the most fun you can have in an hour that also happens to be good for yo …

While we all play games for our body's health & fitness, few of us play games for our brain's health & fitness.  But recent medical research says we should. It shows that there are 3 important contributors to brain fitness:    (1) eating the right food & nutrition;    (2) maintaining physical activity & exercise; and    (3) playing super fun games with others. The first two are easy enough to do, but where and how can you play super fun games with others?  Easy: Thinkers' Toys. What are Thin …

This group is for parents who put their kids first, but would also like to keep their sanity. While most "Meetups" in this group will be for kids, there will also be "Meetups" put together themed for the parents. In the latter Meetup, parents are still encouraged to bring their kids so they can play together. For example, we can put together a play date in which there is a poker game for the adults. Please bring your ideas to the table :). Overall the top goal here is to provide fun, exercise an …

We are looking for like minded physically active people who want to learn and discuss good nutrition to fuel and feed their bodies. AND we are looking for folks who want to be part of a club that will take part in cycling, running, racing, organized sports, weight training, sking, and anything else that we can dream up...LOL. (Obviously you don't have to take part everything.)

You and I know that the BEST way to ensure that we stay committed to our fitness goals is to connect with other like-minded women and support each other, as work out buddies, cheerleaders and pains in the a** when we need motivation! The purpose of this group is to do just that - connect DIVALICIOUS women who are ready to get fit and aren't afraid to have a FABULOUS time doing it! We'll explore the local fitness and health terrain, burn some SERIOUS calories, & occasionally kick back and bond ov …

Alright! Ready to run? Looking for a group?Then you may have noticed that there are not many around our neck of the woods. We have some great locations to take advantage of!

Join us in riding the unpaved trails at Deer Grove Forest Preserve in Palatine.  This is like mountain biking without the mountains. There are plenty of hills, which makes for great exercise. This is mostly non-technical riding but there are areas that you have to pay attention to what you are doing. The trails are crushed limestone and some singletrack dirt trails. The typical ride will be about 1.5-2 hours and about 10 miles. This is a great ride thru beautiful forest but without the technical …

… Despite our obvious uniqueness in both mind and body, I believe that we are all equally connected in spirit. That being said, I have noticed that we all seem to travel different paths towards the realization of our enduring spiritual nature. That realization is obtained through looking inward and can not be given to us by someone else. Therefore, I envision this group as being more of an interactive community as we share and learn together from the combined insights of all who attend. The eventu …
