Testimonials
RESPONSIVE April 19, 2010
Angela – Halsted Street
Membership means belonging to a community that is greater than yourself, where there is mutual respect of the physical and emotional space of each person. I am a proud member of FFC because the community there respects and responds to my needs and wants as an athlete. FFC feels like home.
BETTER HEALTH April 12, 2010
Diane – South Loop
My membership at FFC means something – it means a lot to me. It means better health, better conditioning, better self image. At the time I started, I had no cardio stamina and could barely lift a weight. Since then, with regular sessions with a trainer I’ve lost 50 pounds, gained endurance and strength. The fitness staff have been great to work with – they provide guidance to make sure I am doing the exercises correctly to avoid injury and motivation to keep at it. I’ve never kept at being in shape for this long at any other gym I’ve belonged to. I credit that to the attention by the staff and their personal interest in me.
MOTIVATION April 12, 2010
Stan – Oak Park
My membership means more than I ever thought it would when I joined FFC Oak Park in December. FFC gives me the tools to reverse the bad health habits I have accumulated over the years. Between the staff and the members,they give me the motivation I need to succeed in the goals I have set. It also gives me the opportunity to motivate myself which is the first step in motivating others. I am truly inspired by not only the members who are there kicking butt each day but the ones who are getting their butts kicked during each workout and keep coming back for more.
INSPIRATION April 12, 2010
Lori – Gold Coast
Membership to me is sense of community where I belong. Working out with others who share the same goals and interests is inspiring. I love my multiclub access which allows me to share in the community of FFC. Losing over 150 pounds, getting myself healthy again, running races, winning contests, and wanting to workout daily seemed like a dream when I joined. Thanks to FFC, I am living my dream and making so many friends along the way. I really owe a lot to this club. I am so thankful. FFC has become a part of my new lifestyle. I made a change several years ago for the better and I will not let myself down. Thank you FFC.
INTEGRAL April 12, 2010
Rick – Lincoln Park
FFC membership is an integral part of my life. Keeping up my fitness, strength, and flexibility is important for both a good physical and mental state of mind. The employees are a great inspiration. They help me get out of a rut and back on track with interesting workouts.
COMMUNITY April 12, 2010
Cheryl – South Loop
I do not think that membership is the word I would use for my experience at FFC. I feel that I am a part of a very caring community. From the front desk, to the maintenance staff, to the trainers, to the group instructors, and of course, my trainer Terrence Terrell – all of them have played a part in reaching my fitness goals. FFC has taken me to a higher level of fitness than what I could have ever achieved on my own.
PURSUIT April 12, 2010
Dylan – South Loop
Membership means exercising in a convenient, comfortable environment where I pursue my personal fitness goals and connect with the people I see everyday.
NO EXCUSES April 12, 2010
Olutoyin – Union Station
Membership at FFC means a great deal to me. The proximity to work makes it very accessible and convenient. It really takes away the excuse of not being able to exercise because it is right there. In addition, everyone is ready to help and seeing the cheerful faces ready to help keeps me motivated. The variety of options is also great because I tend to get bored just using machines. The classes are fun so it keeps me motivated to come back. All in all, I enjoy being a member at FFC particularly the Union Station location and there really is nothing I would add to this gym.
ENERGY April 12, 2010
Olu – Union Station
Membership means playing basketball with my friends and having a place to go to energize in the morning for the day, recharge during the day, or wind down once the day is done.
FOCUS April 12, 2010
Cory – East Lakeview
FFC has helped me focus on myself again and helped me hone my weight loss goals. I also enjoy that FFC is open 24 hours during the week. This works great with my schedule. I feel that the FFC staff is really friendly and genuinely interested in my personal goals.
