I use to work for this company and I loved it. This is my favorite Gym ever because it's got everything your looking for. This is a quieter location due to it not being in a residential area. Pools, hot tubs in locker and steam rooms. 10/10 recommend

The men’s steam room smells like a sweaty foot every time I work out here. The floors are also disgusting. Bringing the issue up to employees has not resulted in improvement, but the price has gone up to $150 monthly. None of the other ffc locations are like this. The weekend hours are also terrible. I live nearby and am not a loop office worker.

The gym is very clean. It is never too busy. The staff is really nice. The only thing I wish they had is a nordic bench and a tibialis raise machine.

I recently visited this location and could not have asked for a better more convenient location to belong too. This gym has everything I need from an Olympic weightlifting platform, kettlebells, and everything cross training related. The pool is pristine and the locker rooms exuberate everything that I enjoy about coming to downtown Chicago. I like how the café area has a lot of space and how you can enter this facility from two different entrances depending on where you're coming from in the loop. Also, something equally important and hard to find with Chicago fitness clubs, is a clean gym. This facility is super clean and has that upscale feel that I like.

I recently joined FFC West Loop club but just found it to not be a great fit due to the lay out… I really did not want to cancel so I decided to head to FFC Union Station. I was greeted by Anna and Louann who were so unbelievably kind. The gym is absolutely beautiful, clean, and very strategically spaced out. I’ve been to several gyms in Chicago - I enjoyed my workout at FFC Union Station the most. The price really does reflect the attentiveness, care and dedication the entire staff has. From front desk to the people who do such a great job cleaning. They were extremely helpful and asked no questions about switching over my account. Really looking forward to coming back ♡ (also such great views of the loop)

I would like to give Jasmine a shout out for being so attentive, friendly, and professional. It's easy to tell that she really cares about this gym and genuinely wants people to feel welcome and comfortable. When I notified her of an issue with the hot tub, she immediately sprung into action and made sure it was resolved and communicated updates with me, which I so appreciated.

There's an old saying, "you get what you pay for." Well sometimes that's true...and sometimes it's not. Here its the former.In my combined 3 1/2 years there I have never had anyone at any level be anything except friendly. From the people at the reception desk, the trainers, locker room managers and management. For example, I have found many trainers practically snarl at you at other clubs. Here trainers are all friendly and will occasionally volunteer technique tips if you are doing an exercise wrong. I've never seen that at another club. By the way, if you can afford it training sessions are a real treat.I have been to around five FFC facilities. I easily consider this one the best. They are all spotless. Also, not only do the stuff put the weights on the racks, but most of the time the members are considerate in doing so. Not only are they on the rack...they actually or in the coresponding designated location.By the way, when I stopped my membership I had no issues.Next, some the the other Loop fitness clubs you wonder if you will walk out of the locker room alive or if your iphone or wallet will be in locker when you come back. That is not the case here. Finally I have found the members to be to a great degree polite and considerate. No overly loud or using curse laded language.

This is an excellent gym, very well equipped & offers a clean and bright space for its members and guests. I was traveling through Chicago today and I called the Union Station location to ask about a guest pass. They were very accommodating and allowed me to keep my suitcase in the office while I worked out. The steam room and locker rooms have everything you need: I was able to shower and get ready for my evening flight after the workout. Thank you for your hospitality!

I originally signed up for FFC West Loop, but since I have the package allowing me to visit any FFC facility I wish, Union Station started working better for my needs. I decided to write about FFC Union Station because in many ways, it's my "home gym". Just to give a word on the clubs overall- I like FFC. It's a Chicago institution, their trainers are overall pretty great and nice people to see and get to know around the gym, and the staff do work hard to keep the facilities and machines in great shape. As a research immunologist by training, I feel like I'm in a great environment to care for my health and wellness while also protecting my health as COVID variants are still haunting us in 2022. Looking at other clubs while nice- I think FFC's pricing is pretty fair for what is provided. I think it's a definite upgrade from chain gyms, yet has comparable amenities at different clubs like Equinox or Lifetime do. I just don't think Equinox or Lifetime are personally worth the price and are not as convenient in locations as FFC clubs are. Maybe your calculations may differ, but visit and talk to the staff at the FFC- they are wonderful to work with. I am just getting far enough in my personal training where I need additional support that some of the classes, something like Yoga or pilates (which are offered several times through the week) will help further my progress as I get stronger and have different needs to nurture flexibility and strength. I'm happy with the clubs and as are many friends in my network that workout at the Gold Coast, West Loop, or Lakeview locations. For Union Station- I am a big fan of the open turf space that I can set up circuits for my session nicely and in an open comfortable space for everybody to do their stretches and other drills. It's a great layout, honestly! I have only great things to say about everyone here, so I wanted to make sure that is expressed.

This gym used to be very good and the gym manager was very friendly. However after the pandemic, many nice friendly staff were all gone and now the new Gym manager is horrible. Even after putting on freeze, they kept charging the full price for a few months. They also said freeze fee can be used later upon re-activation. But that was a big lie. I wish I canceled the membership long time ago. Or I wish I switched to the different FFC location so that I didn't need to deal with these filthy people. It's totally not worth spending 120 per month for this mediocre customer service.

I recently joined and am very happy with my decision. I have had nothing but excellent interaction with the staff, the facility is very clean, and all the equipment is in good condition. The new accounts rep, Jasmin, was more than helpful and answered all my questions before I joined.

Love this gym. Staff is the best in the city and amenities and gym goers are awesome. Only gym I’ve been going to for over 3 years where everyone puts their weights back and respects others.

Very nice gym! I live closer to the gym in west loop but it’s always packed and there’s too much going. People at this gym are in and out. Very clean and inviting space. Squat rack is usually always available and you’re not working out on top of people!
