FFC Oak Park Trainer Spotlight: Sohail Ali
This month, we’re shining a spotlight on personal trainer Sohail Ali. If you’ve not met Sohail, he has been a member of our personal training team at FFC Oak Park since 2016. His areas of expertise include core training, strength training, TRX/body weight training, weight loss and weightlifting
Sohail suddenly and tragically lost his brother, Samir, an OPRF alum and Oak Park resident, in December 2022. Sohail shared that exercise has been a helpful tool in processing and managing the immense grief around this loss.
”Each day, I have been dedicating at least one exercise to my brother. His birthday was May 19, so I dedicate five rounds/sets for nineteen repetitions in honor of him (5×19). I would love for you to join me in commemoration of him or you could even choose one of your own siblings/relatives.
Pick any exercise and their birthday. For example, if their birthday is April 8, you would do 4×8 (4 sets of 8 reps) of an exercise – whether it’s a squat, an interval, lunges, deadlifts, etc. Use this as MOTIVATION and DRIVE! Tomorrow is not promised. Continue to or start to improve your mental health and physical well-being. If not for yourself, do it for the people you love.”
Thank you, Sohail, for sharing your story. Rest in peace, Samir Ali.

Member of the Month – John Wirtz
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:
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.
During the morning or afternoons, you will find me on the basketball court, treadmill or relaxing in the hot tub after a long workout.
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.
New Summer Group Fitness Class: ICON
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.
