Congratulations to FFC Oak Park’s February member of the month, John! John answered a few questions for us about being a member at FFC:

  1. What does membership at FFC mean to you?

FFC has been an invaluable resource to me on my weight loss journey of losing 75 pounds over the last year. It has all the tools I need to reach my fitness goals and maintain my healthy lifestyle. I wouldn’t have succeeded over the last year without FFC.

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

During the morning or afternoons, you will find me on the basketball court, treadmill or relaxing in the hot tub after a long workout.

  1. I work out to…

I work out to improve my short and long term health. Although I have done very well on my weight loss, I want to begin to work on improving my physical strength and endurance to reach my best self.

 

Member of the month for Oak Park FFC

Introducing our newest addition to the FFC group fitness schedule: ICON. This total body workout is rooted in the science behind metabolic conditioning. Ten exercises varying from strength and cardiovascular are performed at moderate to high intensities where both immediate and intermediate energy pathways are used. Three total rounds are completed and each round will require a longer work interval with a shorter recovery.

Classes will be on the schedule starting the week of June 6. Check the FFC+ app for dates and times. We’ll see you in class! Questions? Please contact Lois at lois.miller@ffc.com.
