Been going to this gym for over 3 years. it was great till covid hit. now the hours are Horrible AND everyone was so strict about masks but yet there showers are RARELY cleaned, towels THROWN everywhere, AND the jacuzzi looks like it hasn't been cleaned since it opened. MOVING to LIFETIEME. BETTER HOURS, SAME PRICE, AND CLEANER

Personally my family has probably been members for almost 2 decades and we’ve never asked for anything special. Today I walked over to the gym from my house which can take about 15 mins but when I got there everything was closed. Before I left my house I checked that it was Memorial Day and it said “hours might differ” which already I think is Ridiculous. With the price I’m paying I’d like to have assurance. I showed up and at the same time maybe 4 other people who had also read online that the gym was still open. I called to check in and the message told me they were also closed and then proceeded to read me hours they are open which was when I was there. I got there at 7pm on a Monday. A gym closing at 7pm is already pretty ridiculous but then proceeding to not let people know you close early and make all the members go on a wild goose chase just to find out the gym is closed very poor customer service. I have never complained about anything about this gym and neither has my family and while I’m writing this review I’m reading others issues and seeing that FFC isn’t taking in peoples reviews to further better there gym but are instead trying to prove people wrong. VERY POOR

After about a year or so of deciding if I wanted to join FFC and commit to what I knew would be a pricey gym membership, I decided it would be worth the investment. Prior to walking over, I took some time and read many reviews about this location, some great, many not so great, with the not so great reviews centering around poor customer service. I am here to say “buyer beware” and take note of the reviews, the poor customer service reviews are on point. Before going to this location to enroll, I called to ensure someone would in fact be available to support the enrollment and was informed that someone was in fact there, but would be “leaving soon, so I should probably come over sooner than later”. With that, I walked over and found 2 ppl waiting and 1 person being served by the lone employee working enrollments. I sat down and patiently waited 45 minutes for my turn. When the last customer wrapped up, a guy walks in an sits down, wherein the “customer service” employee announces “ok who is next”, which I truly did not believe as she saw when I walked in earlier. At this time the guy says he had a 2:30 appointment and she immediately takes care of him. No asking if he wouldn’t mind waiting 5 minutes to even see what I needed, no sincere apology, no offering of ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED TO WELL DOCUMENTED CUSTOMER SERVICE ETIQUETTE, just….”I’m the only one here and what more can I do for you” comment. Listen, people have options, and yes the labor force is a competitive one, but FFC, do better. You are not Planet Fitness. People pay more here for elevated standards. Teach these children you have managing your operations what real customer service is supposed to look like or continue to waste your $ on marketing when stellar customer service and word of mouth via good reviews is how you build and sustain a strong viable business.

This is the worst gym. I pay 100$ a month for them to replace gym machines within open hours. Half of the machines/benches/squat racks are moved so I can’t use them. I’ll be getting a memebership at lifetime since they are open later, same prices, and never force me to miss a workout. I’m disappointed.

I have been a member of FFC and going to the Oak Park location since 2013. Yes, the membership is expensive and keeps going up, which I don’t like. However, it is a very clean and up to date gym. I take several of the classes here and all of the instructors are wonderful. Thank have never had an issue with unclean or broken equipment. If there is an issue with that in gym, the staff communicates to us members. The manager and staff are all very friendly and care about the gym. Great place to workout!

This gym costs more than nine times the amount of a membership at XSport Fitness, yet there seems to be nothing fundamentally better about the equipment, gym, or environment that would justify the drastic discrepancy in monthly membership costs. XSport tends to have much better and more consistent full court basketball runs, and the equipment is just as good. The most frustrating thing about FFC Oak Park, however, is the head of this location, Jeff Long. My peers that had memberships told me a couple of times how disrespectful and unprofessional this guy is, and he was in fact the catalyst for one of them pulling the straw and cancelling their membership at FFC to go to another gym. Essentially, I think this location is awful, and I would definitely think again if you were considering getting a membership here.

Awesome fitness club and the best in the area. Been going here since it opened 12 years ago. The people that work there are absolutely phenomenal. So many great amenities and features. Yes it is pricey but you get what you pay for!

I have been working with their Oak Park personal trainer Aria for the past 7 months and she has undoubtedly helped me reshape my 48yr old body. The program has worked for me and I am now in 'athletic shape" according to my BMI reads. The gym is open and easy with a lot of options with regards to equipment . The staff is attentive, and overall the place is clean. Best decision I made in 2020.

I have been a member since they were still on construction back in 2006 or 2007 (cant remember ) This has been my happy place and my luxury item. FFC removes most of the obstacles that would prevent me from working out. They provide towels, toiletries, parking for 2 hours, keep equipment in working conditions and clean. They are a little sneaky about increasing their fees. The first year I receive a letter stating that FFC refuses to increase their fees every year. Instead they will have a 1TIME $100 fee. This was done for 3 or 4 year until they finally decided to be more open and just increase the membership fee EVERY YEAR. Unfortunately for me, they have increased their cost and average of 12% per year. So after being a member for over 12 years my membership has doubled, pricing me out. I understand they feel this must be done in order to keep an inclusive environment. I am as of now checking my options for other gyms.. not because FFC is not good but simply because the annual increases. But great Gym, great location if you can afford.
