March Madness is coming to FFC — and this year, every member makes the difference.

Each club will compete in a bracket-style challenge based on the percentage of members who check in. The more members who show up, the stronger the club’s score.

Here’s how it works:

  • Buy-In Week: March 17–23
    All clubs compete to qualify. The top 8 clubs with the highest member check in percentage will earn a spot in the bracket and be seeded based on their results.
  • Elite 8: March 25–27
    Seeded matchups (1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6, 4 vs 5). Each matchup runs for three days, and the club with the highest total member usage percentage advances.
  • Final Four: April 1–3
    The four remaining clubs compete over three days. The top two with the highest member check in percentage move on to the Championship.
  • Championship: April 6
    Two clubs. One day. The club with the most dedicated and driven members (based on highest usage percentage) is crowned the FFC March Madness Champion and will win a party featuring Pita Pita Mediterranean Grill and more!

Because this competition is based on participation, every member matters. Whether it’s a workout, class, or recovery session — your check-in helps your club advance.

Show up. Check in. Help your club make a run.

Community working out together at FFC Lincoln Park.

Join us on Wednesday, March 11 from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM for our Club Connect Series, a casual member social designed to build community and connection within the club. Members are invited to mix, mingle, and meet fellow members and staff in a relaxed setting while enjoying light snacks and beverages. This event is a great opportunity for newer members to get more comfortable in the club and for long-time members to connect outside of their workouts.
