FFC Oak Park - Oak Park, Illinois

This is a very nice gym. I have worked out at many gyms in my life. I really like this gym because it's clean it has all the equipment needed for cardio and strength training. They offer a ton of classes also which are very popular. Best gym in the area.

Great management and training staff. Clean and pristine. Always had fresh towels available, big lockers, powerful freshly renovated steam room and hot tub too.

Big spaces, never over crowded. Local members always happy for a chat, good atmosphere. I built a gym for my line of work, but still enjoy coming to FFC as it has all the bells and whistles. Became a second home.

Clean, with good yoga instructors, but poorly designed. No stairs up to the gym, the locker and bathrooms 2 flights up. Not well designed at all. I also want to point out that the cell reception is terrible for most carriers and their Wi-Fi is abysmal. Really poorly designed, no network access in the locker rooms.

Been a member since summer of 2021 and I’m considering cancelling my membership simply because the state of the facility isn’t worth the expense.

First off, the only way to access the gym is by elevator. There are only two elevators that seem to be ancient, and only one has been operational for the last year. Therefore everyone is always crowding around the lobby waiting for the chance to get upstairs, and are often late for the classes they’re signed up for as a result.

There are never any towels available in the locker room or on the gym floor, there are maybe only 2 showers that have any water pressure or warm water, at least one of the showers has a broken knob so you can only choose between ice water or boiling, some showers have broken locks, the steam room is no warmer than the yoga studio, and after years of expressing that they need to offer boxing classes or more circuit classes, nothing has changed.

The second floor mezzanine could be much better used for boxing classes than just having treadmills up there. There’s already more than enough treadmills and ellipticals on the main fitness floor.

I was also less than impressed with the physical therapy offered by Rush at this location. The office is too small and many times you have to do your PT exercises on a massage table in an adjacent room. Poorly planned.

Might as well just sign up for the YMCA since there’s nothing remotely luxurious or innovative about this place that warrants their membership pricing.

The gym isn’t clean and the employees act like they don’t want to be there. We were members of FFC in the past and it was a very different experience. It seems like they’ve just become complacent. I called to cancel and the person I spoke to lived up to my description. It seemed like I was interrupting what he was doing. He said they want to charge me for another month. When I said I’d like to speak to the manager he said “she’ll call when she can”. Really disappointing for the amount of money we pay to be members.

Facilities are exquisite. Staff is friendly. Only gripe is that the elevators are constantly down. Not both just one. The wait to get one isn’t bad but to be smushed up 12 deep in an elevator full of geriatrics is tough. Also the fitness director Mario has great glutes and is always helpful.

I got their signature facial today with Julie & she was absolutely AMAZING!!! She made me feel so comfortable & relaxed. My skin feels rejuvenated, clean, and so hydrated. Thank you for a wonderful experience today I can’t wait to be back.

Staff acted with a lack of ethics or empathy when I went here. I have not been back since.

The first month (with no commitment) at the YMCA literally a block down is $30.
