Don’t underestimate Jay! I’m 6’2” @ 250 lbs and she shreds me apart in every good way. Very smart lady. The sexy Latino guy in his 30s(?) at the front desk is always nice too. Very sincere. Keep up the good work FFC!
Friendly staff, great space and equipment, clean environment
My jacket with keys inside the pocket got stolen in the locker room. I have reached out to three staff to see if they could take a look at the security camera. They promised me they will take a look and let me know regardless whether they found anything. One month passed, not a single word from them. I understand it’s a slim chance to get my jacket back, but their lack of attempting to help is really disappointing.
Fantastic facilities and people. I feel like I joined a supportive club community rather than just paying for some sweaty pieces of equipment. You really feel like youre part of something exclusive belonging to FFC
Facility is nice, trainers are enthusiastic like Luke and Jay.Some strangeness in the monthly fee schedule, they had a special when I signed up for a free month but it wasnt pro-rated. They bill everyone at the start of the month, so just watch out for that when you sign up.
Im an employee at this location and really enjoy it. I work up at the front desk so I know how important first impressions are. FFC really strives for greatness and we want to make sure every member has a top notch experience. Come check us out!
Great staff, clean facilities, great group sessions and convenient with parking.
Decent selection of equipment, and very clean. The training staff is hit and miss. Some are great some are idiots—like instructing members to do bicep curls in squat racks. Good thing those trainers are pretty, because they aren’t the brightest
I really like all the FFCs they are always cleaning and the equipment is in good shape but I gotta say THE LIGHTING IN THE MIND BODY STUDIO IS TERRIBLE please I’m begging you can you put better lighting in there? Very distracting to do yoga with fluorescent office lighting covered in blue paper... other than that, this place is great!
This has been one of my best gyms experiences. staff are great, always clean, and equipment are always in great shape. They welcome you as you go in and always ready to help if you have any questions.
Excellent health club with tons of amazing equipment. I must say that FFC does a really good job of staying on top of the latest exercise trends. I especially enjoy the Yoga and cardio kick boxing classes. Very nice.
Great gym. Great trainer - Alexandro. He knows what he is doing and genuinely wants you to learn.
Nice location and clean like the other FFCs.Not as big as any if the other FFCs so not as many amenities. Can get busy during the rush hour due to its size, but has what you need.
So far the best FFC gym in terms of equipment and its availability, general cleanliness and 2 floor gym layout.
Great gym. The options you have make the money worth it. My only complaint is they close earlier now and arent very accomodating to different schedules
Very friendly staff, very clean facility, great free workout sessions, great locker rooms, diverse and well kept equipment.
Its a Great Gym.
Decent quality club, good trainers, but overpriced for whats provided
Nice gym, has everything you need but the weight area gets pretty crowded. One of the older FFCs.
FFC Halsted isnt my main FFC location, but its so easy to get to from the Red Line, Clark St bus, Halsted Bus, and Belmont bus that I do stop in on the weekends. Its definitely one of the most convenient locations if youre northside resident.This location seems a bit smaller than others, and theres no pool access. Its still a great location for cardio and weights, and the weekend crowd is light, even in January. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and that seems to transfer over to the members as well. Everyone Ive interacted with has been courteous, and its great to be a member of a non-threatening gym.Overall, I think this is a great location, and the only reason it doesnt get a full five stars is that there is no pool (my preferred method for cardio).
Great equipment,great trainers,great amenities,wish they had more suburban locations.
This is one of the better gyms in the area, but you pay for it - about $80 a month.I primarily use the gym for weights and cardio - I do not take advantage of the myriad free classes they offer. The equipment is generally diverse, new and in very good condition. All of their cardio machines have their own integrated TVs, which I think is a big advantage over other local gyms. Also of worthy of note is the free 2 hour parking in the attached garage. The gym gives you complimentary towels as well, and has a smoothie and snack cafe open during peak times.FFC does get crowded at peak times - say 5PM or so on weekdays and 10AM-2PM on weekends, but I generally go during off peak. Even during peak times, you wont have to wait long. The members are friendly and courteous.
I joined this gym a little over a month ago and I love it. Great hours, great location, trainers are always available, and equipment is always available. I started off my introductory package with four pilates sessions with Zara. She has been awesome and has really motivated me to keep up with pilates. Running on a treadmill and using weights were really my go-to exercises, but she made pilates so much fun, and so beneficial. Shes positive, knows a lot about body alignment, and was really patient with me as I was getting back into the swing of things. If you do pilates, choose her! A 50 minute session with her is really a full workout. But she also is flexible, and if you spring something on her, like a knee pain from running, she will totally change the plan to help you get back on track. Love this gym!
Decent cub in center of boys town, recommend
Very cool place!
The best!
