Member of the Month – Kaitlyn Best

Congratulations to FFC Lincoln Park’s June member of the month, Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn answered a few questions for us about being a member at FFC:

  1. What does membership at FFC mean to you? 

For me, being a member at FFC means so much more than a good workout; membership at FFC means a commitment to my overall well-being. It gives me an upbeat attitude, a sharp mind, more self-assurance, restful sleep, and a sense of accomplishment. Going to FFC gives me a purpose throughout my day, holds me accountable to my goals, and keeps me on track to form healthy habits.

  1. When I am at FFC you will find me…

When at FFC you might find me trying out one of the various group classes, crying in the steam room, or (most likely) hanging out in the lobby, distracting the sales team while working up the motivation to get started.

  1. I work out to…

I workout mainly to work off all the chicken sammies I eat at work, but also to clear my mind, raise my endorphins, keep my mental health in check, and prepare for hot girl summer!
