I joined FFC South Loop about a month ago when I moved to Chicago. I joined the gym so I could lose weight and gain muscle mass.In order for me to achieve these goals, I signed up to work out with a personal trainer twice a week.I started personal training with Devin Hartman my first week at the gym. I can already tell that I am slimming down and becoming stronger!Devin has been a great trainer to work with. He is on time and always happy when I show up for my sessions.I like that Devin is able to keep me motivated during the hour long session.He is consistently changing up my workouts with new exercises, throwing out inspirational quotes when we train (especially when I start to complain and get tired), and he also makes sure that I am pushing myself every day I am in the gym working out without him. When I am at the gym training without Devin, I have a personalized plan to reference that Devin created just for me. This plan is awesome! It explains what I need to do and it even includes pictures to show me how to do the exercises.Devin also holds me accountable by having me track my food calories every day.Overall training with Devin has been great and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to start training with a personal trainer.

My trainer, Devin Hartman and I have been working together for almost two months now. I am extremely impressed with my results thus far. He’s very knowledgeable on all the different types of workout routines but also keeps me informed about what I should and shouldn’t be eating. Eat, train and grow is his motto and I’ve been doing exactly that. I’m very pleased!

Gym and staff are great except for the arrogant, judgmental, meathead that works the front desk weeknights. Dude needs to get off his pedestal and learn a thing or two about customer service. Muscles will only get you so far princess.The rest of the front desk staff are lovely!

FFC is the best franchise gym in the Chicago area that I've been a member of. Locks are built into the lockers, staff is friendly, equipment is sufficient, steam room is relaxing, and their space is clean. Thank you.

Always clean and the equipment I want to use, no matter the time of day, is readily available. The staff is very friendly and the GM is the best.Can’t recommend the gym enough.

Good gym overall with nice equipment, and the staff are excellent. Monthly/yearly price might be the final deciding factor.
