May’s Message from General Manager Bob Dowdy April 27, 2012
Summer’s coming, but don’t toss aside your workout routine with your boots and jackets! Shorter, high intensity workouts can minimize your time at the club while maximizing your results. FFC offers a variety of group fitness classes that will get you in and out of the club in under an hour, leaving plenty of time for a long walk or bike ride on the Lakefront.
Plus, our huge sundeck will be open on Monday, May 14. Chaise lounges for sunning, and an outdoor shower for cooling off can be the perfect way to relax after your workout on a lazy afternoon. Or, check out the outdoor fitness equipment we added last year. Either way, the sundeck is yours to enjoy!
