May’s Message from General Manager Kelly Malohn April 27, 2012
I am happy to welcome back Josh Zaffino as our new Fitness Director. Josh started his career with FFC as an intern, at this Club in 2002. Now, 10 years later, he comes back to us as a proven personal trainer and manager, producing a highly successful staff at FFC Halsted Street.
Josh is one of the most intense, yet supportive, trainers I have ever known. He lives and breathes fitness, and isn’t shy about challenging you to do the same! He is excited to come back “home” to help all Union Station members achieve RESULTS!
When not working, you can find him in the pool, as he is an avid triathlete, training for his first Half Ironman this summer. Maybe some of you will be inspired to join him!
