New Glencoe business offers new fitness options
Glencoe’s Hennepin Avenue is home to a new business headed by three motivated individuals, Samantha Jung, Alex Jung and Dan Mitchell, who want to provide an additional outlet for fitness in Glencoe. Midwest Martial Arts & Fitness, nestled cozily between Home Solutions and Gert & Erma’s, is a studio with character. It embodies all the elements one would expect to see when walking into a place that promotes fitness through less-traditional methods like Taekwondo and PiYo (a culmination of pilates and yoga).
Colorful, soft mats that cover the floor are indicative of the kind of activities that take place there. Trophies line the ceiling across the studio. A mirror stretches the length of one of the walls. A plastic man on a stick with an angry grimace on his face sits on the outer edge of the main room, waiting to take a beating.
