Member of the Month at FFC

Meet our Member of the Month, Jen Trudell! See the Q&A to learn more about Jen’s FFC Story:

  1. What does membership at FFC mean to you? 

FFC is a great member of the Oak Park community. It’s convenient (close to where I live), well maintained/clean, and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable.

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

Trying to lift heavy stuff. If you don’t do this, you should!

  1. I work out to…

Compete with myself. Be able to do whatever I want to do when I’m 80+. Set a good example for my teenage kids (and make them roll their eyes at my cringe Instagram workout content).
