Union Station
May’s Message from General Manager Bob Dowdy
May is here, and now we begin to plan outdoor summer activities. Along with running, biking by the lake, and outdoor sports, there are many weekend festivals, air shows, and beaches to enjoy during Chicago’s short summer. Finding the right mix of indoor and outdoor fitness time can be tricky.
We all know that one of the most common reasons for our lack of progress is not varying our workout. Summer is a great time to mix it up! Shorter, high intensity workouts can minimize your time at FFC Union Station while maximizing your results. Our group exercise classes are a great alternative during the summer months. FFC offers a variety of muscle strength, cardio, and mind-body classes that will get you in and out of the Club in under an hour. So you don’t have to break up with us this summer.
See you at the Club this month!

FFC Union Station: Dedicated to help you meet your health and fitness goals. Occupying the landmark space that was once the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, FFC’s Union Station fitness center is the largest full-service health and fitness club in the Loop. Covering over 85,000 sq.ft., this spectacular first class facility sits at street level at 444 West Jackson Blvd and is literally above the Union Station train commuting center. The ultimate convenience Club for Loop commuters.
