May Message from General Manager, Chris Jaeger April 29, 2013
Spring is a time of life, renewal, and celebration! So it’s fitting that a few celebrations come in May: Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day. Make FFC Lincoln Park a part of your fiesta by enjoying a challenging workout before relaxing or by honoring your mom with a rejuvenating Spa treatment. Enjoy the beautiful weather and city views by coming to our Seis de Mayo party to help break in the patio!
With summer just around the corner, we’re excited to offer a complimentary class “Abs are Made in the Kitchen” lead by our Registered Dietitian Sara Kevern on May 8.
And while it heats up outside, we’re making hot improvements to our yoga room to be able to offer Formula 94 and 104-degree yoga classes next month! We will keep you updated on the construction and apologize for any inconvenience.
I look forward to seeing you this month!

Heated Vinyasa Flow blends the art of continual movement along with matching your internal body temperature with the heat of the 94-degree studio.
Formula 94 is one of our newest signature classes! With the use of light to moderate hand weights, you will incinerate body fat; improve muscular endurance and overall conditioning while barefoot in the 94-degree heated studio. For more information, contact Dominick Defranco at ddefranco@ffc.com.
