BLOG: Stay Grounded at Cascade

It’s the time of year when the bustle of holiday shopping, cooking, and celebrating can make downtime seem like the best present of all. Fortunately for residents of the Lakeshore East apartments at Cascade, 45,000 feet of amenities will help you recharge without having to leave the building. And with a number of dedicated spaces not only to relax but to give yourself a spa day or an enlivening workout, you’ll be ready to face 2022 with a healthy glow and a readiness to take advantage of all that these luxury apartments in Downtown Chicago have to offer.

The building’s impressive main amenities floor includes a 25-yard lap pool, a splash pad, and a hydrotherapy pool. After all, there’s nothing like an early morning swim to get your heart rate going and your mind into the water to melt away the urge to constantly run through your to-do list and the events on your calendar.

Cascade’s Motion Studio provides you with a chance to burn off calories with the help of Cascade’s Wellness team. You can use the Cascade app to check the latest spin and yoga class offerings, but if you prefer to work out or hone your home yoga program independently, the studio also features Mirror technology. For more intense workouts, you can visit the well-equipped Fitness Center overlooking the lake or the Strength Studio, with machines that will challenge you to the heights of HIIT.

Cascade’s steam rooms—which recently opened in the locker rooms—will anchor your wellness routine. In a recent article in Byrdie, Dr. Rupert Critchley of VIVA Skin Clinics talked about their stress-relieving power: “Steam rooms and sauna therapy have been used for centuries as a sanctuary of relaxation. It will help your body relax and reduce stress and tension, which is not only of benefit to your mind but also to those everyday aches and pains.” Steam rooms also assist in opening pores, removing toxins from the body, and clearing sinuses.

You can also treat yourself to a true vacation-at-home experience via Cascade’s in-house spa, complete with salon services and massage treatments. Meanwhile, sometimes the best me-time is spent curling up with a book—and with Cascade’s Conservatory or Living Room on the 1^st floor, you can sink into a novel in a room as transporting as the story. It’s a Chicago life with the perfect balance of excitement and relaxation that will prepare and sustain you for the new year—and years—to come. That’s why you should schedule a tour today to get a closer look at many of Cascade’s finest features.
