About Destination Fitness
Destination Fitness is owned by Jill Walters of Johnsburg, Illinois. Jill created Destination Fitness nine years ago along with her then partner Matt Walters. Jill saw a need for people who want to become fit, but do not have the time to travel to a health club. She also saw a need for people who wanted quality trainers who would give them their undivided attention without having to compete for fitness equipment in a health club atmosphere.
Jill has a nursing degree from Harper College, which comes in handy helping her clients reach their wellness goals. Before building Destination Fitness, Jill worked at Lutheran General Hospital and Glenbrook Hospital. When her son started school, Jill also went back to school and for eight years worked with Special Needs children. Jill worked with Illinois State Representative Jack Franks and PACE Transit System to move the bus stops to well lit areas with phones and overhangings to protect our McHenry County Special Needs residents and help them feel safe.
In 1999 Jill put all her efforts into building Destination Fitness as Business Manager and Owner.
Jill spends her free time volunteering with local charities, and serving as a board member with the McHenry County Women's Connection and advocate for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
Jill Walters along with her team of 25 Certified Personal Trainers and Wellness staff truly enjoys helping each client reach their fitness and wellness goals, no matter how large or how small.
