EXERCISE PRESCRIPTION FITNESS CENTER WAIVER

Any Chicago resident given an exercise prescription from their medical doctor to prevent obesity and other related diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, hypercholseteremia, and other cardiovascular diseases, will be granted a complimentary pass for one session at a Chicago Park District fitness center.

Residents must bring the original prescription (no copies) to the park and fill out a participation form to obtain the session pass. Once a pass is granted, the patron must show this pass, along with a photo ID on each visit to the fitness center. All prescriptions will be kept on file at the park with the participation form.
