Good place! I had to leave my previous club. I didn’t like that one. I would rather give them my money here at FFC! Thanks much!

Love this location specially because they have a full size Muay Thai heavy bag. Staff is also super friendly and the gym is always well kept

I am very upset. Perhaps the owner is unaware of what his employees continue to put me through. I used to be a member right before Covid…the Elmhurst location had a lot of issues with the high schoolers that attended the gym and failed us by doing absolutely nothing. I remember countless times trying to workout on the 3rd floor to only get rocks and eggs thrown at my friend and I from the high schoolers across on the roof of the parking garage. We had gotten injured and the gym’s managers didn’t care. I remember some really inappropriate behavior happening on a number of occasions from the high schoolers entering the pool and in the women’s locker rooms..management did nothing. I remember getting harassed by an employee worker at this gym management did nothing…I ended my membership bc the gym failed me and my friends countless times.
Flash forward to 2 years ago..received a text message to give the gym a try again bc it’s been some time, decided what the heck - only to get a phone call saying, “you are not allowed here anymore bc you are not a good fit.?!?” Ahhhhh okay. I told them then to lose my information and not text me, email me or call me about anything..since they are going to treat people like crap..
Flash forward to today, got a text from Connor asking me to come in for a day pass, um how do you have my information??? I asked if he read the notes on my account - he said there are no notes.
At this point I am frustrated. I am upset bc of that last person who sent me a nasty email and a nasty phone call. Yeah the gym is nice, the owner is even a nice guy but his workers treat people like garbage and act as though they can get away with anything.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Rachel is at all of her morning classes! She is the reason I have that extra bit of energy in my step every day. Before I started attending her classes, my life felt pretty gloomy and dull, but now—thanks to Rachel—my whole world has been lit up. Her energy is contagious, and she knows how to make fitness fun in a way that I never thought was possible.
Her classes aren’t just a workout—they’re an experience. The positive vibes and motivation she brings every morning set the tone for the entire day, and I honestly look forward to waking up early to join her sessions. Rachel has truly made a lasting impact on my fitness journey and my mindset.
If you want to feel energized, inspired, and actually enjoy your workout, you have to take one of Rachel's classes. She’s a game-changer!

Been seeing Dave DeSalvo for massages for the better part of seven years. He’s the best for deep tissue! Dave is a keeper and the man!

I’ve been an FFC member for years, and it’s the relationships I’ve built with Brent (personal trainer) and David (massage therapist) that keep me coming back, despite rising rates.
Brent brings endless energy and positivity to every session. I’ve been in physical therapy my whole life due to spastic diplegia cerebral palsy, but Brent offers something different. His approach is creative, goal-oriented, and consistently motivating. He’s always learning and open to new ideas and feedback.
David has adapted his massage technique to meet my specific needs. Regular sessions with him have significantly reduced my chronic tightness and discomfort, genuinely improving my sleep and quality of life. Furthermore, I sometimes feel out of place in massage settings due to my condition, but David creates an environment where I can truly relax.
I trust both Brent and David to go above and beyond for me. They’re the main reason I’ve stayed with FFC, and I highly recommend them if you’re looking for personalized care and long-term results.

After being a member at a different gym for 13 years. I wanted to make a change to help myself grow. I did my research and found FFC in Elmhurst and after being a member for a few weeks. I love that I decided to become a member here. This gym is really awesome, it might be a little smaller than my last gym but it makes up for it with other things. The staff are super friendly here, everyone is always smiling and courteous, especially Melissa at the front. People are always cleaning here. I saw a worker deep cleaning a row of elliptical machines, it was refreshing! Last, this gym had a member appreciation week, I didn’t really get to participate in it due to work, but thought it was an amazing amenity. I’m happy to be a member!

After coming to ffc elmhurst for over 4 years I can say with confidence that coming in late in the afternoon is the best time to come to the gym with a friendlier staff and clearer gym experience. When ever I came in the morning I’d have to grab and store my towel in my locker due to their being little to no towels available with an addition that the soap dispenser being nearly empty 1in every 3 stalls. Just the attentiveness of gym cleanliness is lacking during the morning. While in the afternoon there are always towels, soap and just in general cleaner lockers and locker rooms. If you plan on joining ffc I highly recommend coming late in the afternoon after 6 to get the best gym experience. Shout out to Brandon, John, missy and the rest of the afternoon crew for making me feel like family.

I’ve been a member at FFC for a while now and overall, I do enjoy my experience here. I’ve tried several FFC locations, and each one has its own unique vibe, which I appreciate. Some locations definitely deliver a more luxurious experience for the price, while others fall a bit short, especially considering how expensive this club is compared to others in the area.
When it comes to classes, I feel like they could be more intense. I’ve been to other clubs like Lifetime and Midtown, both of which are priced similarly or even slightly less, yet their classes tend to be far more challenging. At Lifetime, for example, the instructors really push you, and you leave each class feeling like you truly worked hard and broke a sweat. Even some hot classes at FFC don’t always feel like they live up to that standard.
Midtown, on the other hand, provides a fully luxurious experience, and their pricing reflects that. If you’re going to market yourself as a high-end club, the amenities should match. The steam room at my location is often out of service, there’s no sauna (only select FFC locations, like Chicago, have them), and the Jacuzzi often feels like it needs better maintenance and cleaning.
Another thing to point out is the pool situation. Both Lifetime and Midtown have significantly larger pools with better spaces, including features like slides, which add to the overall experience and justify their pricing more effectively
I currently pay a lot for two people at this location, which feels steep compared to other clubs with similar or better amenities. While the location is very convenient for me, and I do appreciate that it’s not overcrowded, I feel like the overall experience should better reflect the price point when compared to other gyms offering more value and luxury for the cost. I truly believe FFC has potential but could elevate the experience with some key improvements.
(I love this club, this is just feedback and advice if you’re comparing clubs! Also my own personal opinion

Things are constantly breaking with no updates on repair ETA.
Steam room has been down for a couple of weeks with no ETA to fix.
Far from premium service…
