Whether it's staying active, balancing work with your personal life or taking up a new hobby, the clean slate of a new year is the perfect time to tackle goals you've been planning (and neglecting). Check out these local amenities for a productive way to kickstart 2016:

For a new, healthier you...
Kickstart January with a membership at the Libertyville Sports Complex. This conveniently located facility offers various fitness classes, an open gym, a driving range, a climbing wall, an indoor event center and more. Prefer staying active in the great outdoors? Jog, walk or a bike ride through the local Independence Grove Trail. Experience the natural beauty of the preserve's roads that wind around the scenic 115-acre lake.

For finding a hobby...
Improve your game or take up a new hobby at the Libertyville Golf Course. The country club also offers community leagues (a great way to get involved with your neighborhood!) and an indoor putting studio. If it's a more practical, hands-on hobby you're looking for, take up cooking classes offered at the Sur La Table studio in nearby Northbrook.

For trying something new...
Is braving a 227-foot drop on your bucket list? Embrace your inner thrill-seeker by taking a trip to Six Flags Great America, located in neighboring town Gurnee (you can check off spending a day with the family as well!). If expanding your musical horizons is a personal goal, venture the short distance to the renowned Ravinia Festival in Highland Park. Ravinia hosts indoor and outdoor concerts, ranging from performances by famous symphonies to appearances by legendary music icons.

For beginning a new chapter...
Thinking of relocating to a historic midwest town? Explore River Glen homes, tucked away in a scenic and secluded glen amidst the lively Libertyville community. Check out River Glen's five custom-inspired floor plans here.
