Get ready to sweat, compete, and win big this summer with fun challenges and the opportunity to win up to 12 months of free dues!

Challenge Dates:
June 1 – August 31, 2025
Progress resets at the end of each month.

Here’s How to Play:
1. Opt-in to participate via the FFC+ app starting May 26, 2025
2. Check in to any FFC Club at least 10 days of the month
3. Complete 10 Group Fitness Classes

Achieve both challenges in a single month and you’ll be automatically entered to win 4 months of free dues! Three lucky winners will be selected — one per month!

Keep tabs on your progress in the “My Dash” section of the FFC+ app. Both the MTD Checkins and MTD Classes metrics will be red until you hit 10 checkins and 10 classes completed. Once achieved, the metric will turn green signifying you’ve completed that component of the challenge. Progress resets at the end of each month, so stay consistent!

Turn up the heat this summer! Opt-in to participate beginning May 26, 2025. Good luck!

The program runs from June 1, 2025 – August 31, 2025. The 12 free months of dues will be awarded as three separate prizes (four months free per winner), one for each month of the challenge. Participants must ‘opt-in’ to the challenge via the FFC+ app beginning May 26, 2025 to confirm participation. Your 10 check-ins do not need to be at the same FFC location – we will track your visits across our 10 clubs. There is a max of one qualifying visit per day. You will be automatically entered to win the four free months dues prize once you have reached 10 visits AND completed 10 group fitness classes in a single month. Progress resets at the end of each month, and prizes will be distributed by the 8th of the following month. The dues credit cannot exceed $179 per main member on account, is non-transferable and has no cash value. Other restrictions may apply.

Muscle and strength training.

Build your confidence on the strength floor with Intro To Strength Training, an entry-level class designed to teach you the essentials needed for a great workout. These complimentary classes are taught by our FFC personal trainers and take place at 10 AM every Saturday in April. Each week will cover a new tool used on the fitness floor. Come ready to learn more and leave feeling empowered to use this equipment on your next visit.

  • Saturday, August 9: Kettlebells
  • Saturday, August 16: Dumbbells
  • Saturday, August 23: Barbells
  • Saturday, August 30: Sleds, Ropes & Ladders, oh my!

Level up your lunch game with our registered dietitian approved lunch guide! Lunch is just as important as any other meal of the day. Eating lunch helps raise your blood sugar to give you the energy needed for a productive afternoon. It also breaks up your day to day tasks and acts as a “reset” for the second half of the day.

From mouth watering bowls to satisfying salads and savory sandwiches, our lunch guide will elevate your midday meal and make sure you’re getting the appropriate nutrients to keep you full and fueled throughout your day. Visit ffc.com/nutrition to download your copy today!
