You can improve cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, flexibility, balance, and rhythm.

Class offerings include Boot Camp, Hard Core, Circuit and Interval Training, Tai Chi, Toning, Water Aerobics, Yoga–including chair yoga, and Zumba. Visit or call the Phillips Recreation Center at 217-367-1544 or register online.

Flexible Fitness Punch Cards

*Does not apply to Chair Yoga and Tai Chi.
If your schedule fluctuates or you find it difficult to attend an entire session of fitness classes, purchase a 10-class Flexible Fitness Punch Card. Attend any class that accommodates your schedule. Fitness punch cards may be used for all fitness classes in their category. Preregistered participants get priority of class space. Passes are not interchangeable across categories. Before each class you attend, present the card upon arrival and you will be admitted to the class. Punch cards are valid from one session to the next. You may purchase cards at the Phillips Recreation Center. There are three categories of passes: Land Fitness, Yoga/Pilates and Water Exercise.

Free Fitness Weeks

Three times each year we invite you to try out any fitness classes at the Phillips Recreation Center, the Urbana Indoor Aquatic Center, or Brookens Gym absolutely free. It’s one way that we can thank our continuing participants and welcome our new participants. Try a class at any park district workout facility and let us know what you think.
