This location is literally falling to pieces. One or other of the elevators is almost always out of service, and now the pool is closed until further notice because it was leaking onto the other floors.

This gym is horribly managed and maintained. The hot tub is routinely broken (despite the fact that they shut down the wet area for nearly 2 months for 'renovations'), one of the two elevators is routinely broken, the WiFi does not propagate through the locker room and wet area, the roof leaks, and management lacks detail orientation. If you want a place to decompress and melt off the stress of daily life, FFC Oak Park is NOT for you. It's a tragically obsolete and mismanaged facility. Go elsewhere -- especially at the price!

I cancelled my membership on May 20th and they still charged me for the month of June. I was told that I didn't cancel in time. This makes no sense to me and I'm telling everyone I know not to go there. I do not recommend FFC in Oak Park on Lake Street

They were incredibly accommodating and welcoming when I came in from out of town. Great locker room and facilities. A little small and very unorganized in terms of weights being all over the place but I'll chalk that up to it being a gym and gym goers being awful lol. Awesome selection of equipment and attachments for cables that far exceed the typical 3 attachments you find. Absolutely would recommend. I dealt with Ursula and she was great with the tour and informing me what amenities were available!

Great fitness facility with extremely professional staff. I work out solo and with a great personal trainer (Mario Dato) every week. The facility is well managed, clean and equipped with everything I need. Great place, you will not be disappointed.

Peter Andreev is my daughter's swimming teacher. She's 9, very self-conscious about not being able to swim and she's been the oldest in both group sessions we tried. With her confidence super low, one-on-one lessons seemed to be the best option. Peter is patient, speaks her language, and is just the right combination of easy-going yet confident in his teaching abilities. I recommend him highly.

I have been a member for several years now. I am in the process of talking to senior leadership regarding the club's deceitful, underhanded way of handling business. The customer service is unimaginably bad. I will update you soon.

W.O.R.S.T customer service and experience of any gym, EVER.They don't care what you have done there before or how much you spent before. They ony care about your money. AVOID, there are many other alternatives where the customer still matters.

Have been a member for couple of years. In that time, my membership costs increased by 20%, with no tangible benefits to me personally as I don't use the equipment that has been upgraded. I do love the classes, the variety of elliptical and other machines, the quieter free weight area on mezzanine, and find the staff really friendly. The locker room and bathrooms feel very clean. I was contacted to complete a survey last year and gave the feedback that I would love to see more weekend group classes, as there are virtually No classes on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Management responded that this was something they were working to improve, but now 6 months later, nothing has changed. So here is some feedback for management:-Add more classes on weekend afternoons- for those of us who have Mon-Fri jobs, this is prime workout time-Put some drinking water on all floors of the building for crying out loud. It is crazy to me that I can't find water to drink anywhere on 3rd floor where locker room and steam room are located!-Put the guest pass fees back to 20$.- you just increased fee by 50% without warning. Total money grab.

After I posed this review, I was contacted by the general manager who agreed to waive the additional month's fee. I greatly appreciate the accommodation.
