Maintaining your fitness routine while working remotely doesn’t have to be a challenge—especially when you live at Aqua at Lakeshore East. Our community is designed not only for luxury living but also to support an active, healthy lifestyle. With spacious apartment homes for at-home workouts and the onsite fitness center and indoor track conveniently located inside the building, Aqua makes it easy to stay fit without ever stepping outside into the cold.
The Rise of Home Workouts
For those balancing work and wellness, at-home workouts provide the ultimate convenience. With Aqua’s thoughtfully designed residences, you have ample space for in-apartment fitness. But when you want to take your routine to the next level, our onsite fitness center and track allow you to get in a workout without leaving the comfort of your building—rain, snow, or shine.
Creating Your Home Gym Space
Transforming a section of your apartment into a dedicated workout area can be motivating. Aqua’s spacious layouts make it easy to designate a fitness corner with just a yoga mat, dumbbells, and resistance bands. Consider positioning your setup near a floor-to-ceiling window or balcony to enjoy Chicago’s skyline as your workout backdrop.
Indoor Fitness at Aqua: Your Private Gym Just Steps Away
Why battle the elements when Aqua offers a state-of-the-art fitness center and an indoor track within the building? Whether you prefer strength training, treadmill sprints, or a brisk walk on the track, you can stay active year-round without ever stepping outside.
Bodyweight Training for Strength and Cardio
For days when you prefer to work out in your apartment, bodyweight exercises are an efficient option:
- Push-Ups: Strengthen your chest and core
- Squats: Build lower-body endurance
- Planks: Improve core stability
- Burpees: Burn calories with full-body movement
Pro tip: Complete 3 rounds of 30-second exercises for an effective, high-energy workout.
Yoga and Stretching for Balance and Recovery
Yoga is an excellent way to maintain flexibility and relieve stress. With Aqua’s serene environment, you can create a calming yoga retreat right in your home.
For a change of scenery, bring your yoga practice to Aqua’s indoor track area or fitness center for a quiet, focused session.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) for Quick, Effective Workouts
Pressed for time? HIIT workouts maximize results in minimal time:
- Jump Squats (30 sec)
- Mountain Climbers (30 sec)
- Lunges (30 sec)
- Rest (15 sec)
Repeat for 3-4 rounds and head to the Aqua fitness center’s recovery area for a cooldown stretch.
Online & Virtual Fitness Options
With Aqua’s high-speed internet, you can easily stream online workouts, from Pilates to kickboxing. Better yet, connect with fellow residents for a virtual fitness challenge and stay motivated together.
