April’s Message from General Manager Josh Leve March 29, 2012
Warmer weather means so many things in Chicago. The beach, outside dining, and shedding those layers of clothes for shorts, flip-flops and tank tops. Are you ready? Hopefully all that hard work I spoke about in January is paying off, but if not, it’s okay. To get back on track, follow the 3 D’s of Success.
DESIRE
The starting point of every decision you make. Before any improvement takes place you must desire to make a change in your life.
DECISION
This is where the action takes place. Having the desire to change is not enough; you must also make the decision to put your thoughts into motion.
DEDICATION
Having the dedication to stick with your desires in the face of obstacles and setbacks completes the picture of success. No one does everything perfect their first time. You won’t either. Accept that short-term failures can happen and learn from them.
Every success, no matter how great or small, is the direct result of the 3 D’s. Without them, you will have no chance of improving your life, no chance of living your dreams. But with them, you will have the power to create a new life and look forward to each day more than the one before. If you desire a happier, more fulfilling life, and are ready to take action to make it all happen, FFC is here to help in ANY capacity.
Remember, you have the desire, now is your chance to do something about it.
Improvements in Progress – Studio 3 March 29, 2012
From Monday, April 9 to Sunday, April 22. We will be repairing the wood floor in Studio 3 beginning Monday, April 9. FitCore and Hip Hop classes have been moved to other studios. All Spin classes are cancelled during this time, so we can complete this work as quickly as possible. All members will have access to FFC East Lakeview while this renovation is in progress. Should you have any questions, please contact Josh Leve at jleve@ffc.com.
