Dog Park, Skate Park & Shelters
McBark Dog Park
Presented by
Gary Lang Subaru
McBark Dog Park is located
north of the McHenry Kohls
with parking in the existing lot north of the store. We
would like to thank Kohls and IDOT for their cooperation
in granting the use of the site for the dog park. The
park features shade, a large running area for dogs,
onsite parking and running water. The park is open
from 7 am to dusk. The dog park provides year-round
opportunities for dogs and their owners to socialize
as well as exercise – both important to an animal’s
temperament and health.
Thank you to
Gary Lang Subaru for Supporting
McBark Dog Park
An annual pass is sold for local dog owners to access
the facility. Gate access is a controlled system allowing
only dog pass holders. Fees are for one calendar year

Fitness Descriptions
All Level Yoga: Improve core strength and stability as well
as increase flexibility and overall strength. Class includes
standing and balancing poses, sun salutations and a
playful exploration of more challenging poses made more
accessible with props and modifications.
Gentle Yoga: This is a slower paced yoga practice to
stretch all areas of the body and increase range of motion in
the major joints. Improve strength, balance, breathing and
overall vitality. Class ends with a deep relaxation to release
stress and tension.
Aqua Aerobics: Improve joint mobility, flexibility, balance
and strength. Warm–ups, cardio and toning combinations
and a cool down will give you the workout you want. Aqua
aerobics is great for all ages.
Hatha Yoga: Improve your overall health, energy level,
flexibility and gain a heightened ability to deal with everyday
life challenges. Learn how the Mind-Body connection can
help you release hidden stress and maintain a youthful,
strong, graceful body.
Barre Burn: This total body workout slims your hips,
tightens your thighs, lifts your seat and mobilizes your
metabolism. Utilizing ballet movements, intelligent
Isometrics, challenges in rhythm, range of motion and
progressive core training, your body heals, tightens and
strengthens so you look, feel and move better.
Body Toning with Yoga: Start class with a Tai Chi-like warmup, continue with Vinyassa Yoga deep stretches and move
into core Pilates movements for strong muscle care. All of
these movements lengthen, strengthen and tone muscles to
help students develop a strong posture while creating a new
physique. Transform latent muscles into strong muscles with
deep breathing and easy to follow movements.
Cardio, Core & More: Burn calories, strengthen the core
and tone the whole body all in one hour. Use hand weights,
resistance tubing and even personal bodyweight for a truly
complete workout. All fitness levels are welcome.
Cardio Interval Training: The interval training workout
includes high intensity with an active recovery exercise. This
is the most safe and effective calorie burning workout that is
designed without lots of impact.
Pilates: Work core muscles and increase strength and
flexibility with basic Pilates moves. Each week class will
slowly progress with more challenging movements.
PiYoTM: PiYo is a class that combines yoga poses with
Pilates mat exercises to build core strength and enhance
agility and balance. PiYo is a faster paced class than Gentle
Yoga and provides a moderately challenging workout similar
to Vinyasa (flow style) yoga.
Power Core Express: Strengthen the core and develop long
lean muscles. Feel your entire body getting stronger and
firmer with this 45 minute workout.
Power Stretch: Stretch yourself fit. Flexibility is an
important segment of fitness, but it is often overlooked.
Participants will be using SMR (Self-Myofascial Release)
to gain flexibility. A roller and different types of balls will be
used. This is a good warm-up for Cardio, Core & More.
R.I.P.P.E.D.: Resistance, Intervals, Power, Plyometrics and
Endurance all in one class. Set to amazing music, this fun
athletic based format will get you in the best possible shape.
Cardio-Kickboxing & Strength: Join us for a great cardio
workout along with strength training. The first half of the
class is dedicated to non-contact kickboxing followed up
with weights and or resistance bands. This is an all around
total body workout in one hour.
Stability Ball Fusion: Combines stability ball and
resistance training for a total body workout. This class
keeps your body moving as you strengthen and tone using
stability ball, free weights and resistant bands. Please bring
your own stability ball.
Circuit Training: This class will focus on strength and cardio
endurance. The use of equipment is set up in timed stations
and will work all the major muscle groups. It is sure to
satisfy beginners to advanced participants.
Total Body Workout: Focus on working all major muscle
groups with the use of free weights, resistance bands and
personal body weight.
Forever Young Gentle Exercise (50 & up): Enhance your
strength, flexibility, endurance, balance. Additional benefits
include improved well-being, better posture, preservation
of bone mass and enhanced muscle tone. All exercises are
done standing or seated on a chair (no floor work).
19
Yoga & Core: Use yoga poses to strengthen and lengthen
your muscles. Focus will be on the use of core strength for
balance, posture and health. Zumba®: Experience an exhilarating hour of calorie-burning,
heart-racing, muscle-pumping, body-energizing movements.
Work to get fit and healthy using Latin American music as
your guide. Move to different tempos with low/high-impact
moves that build muscle.
