FFC Elmhurst - Elmhurst, Illinois

Joselyn R.

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

Had the most amazing massage with Dave today. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and his expertise showed. I left feeling wonderful and can’t wait to book with him again!

Excellent facilities with new equipment and upgrades happening constantly. The staff is friendly. The 3rd floor is my favorite section: a recovery lounge with massage chairs, swimming pools, a jacuzzi, and a steamer.

So very personable . My son forgot his wallet-the manager dropped it off at our house! My son lost his keys-they called me as our last name was on the fob. Beautifully located in downtown Elmhurst-excellent service.

First time trying massage in the gym. I chose David D. because a lot of people recommended him and now I understand why. He was so knowledgeable, absolutely amazing. attention to detail in customizing my massage is outstanding! targeting all the problems areas. It was definitely the best massage I ever had next day I woke up like new. Thank you David!

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…

I think I'm in love. From the front desk to the cleaning staff, everyone is super friendly. Within a couple weeks, everyone knows your name (if you go with some frequency). I'm obsessed with the Performance Training Center classes that take place on the turf field. The personal trainers are also super motivating. I've been lucky to work with Michael who is super enthusiastic about helping you reach your goals. It is on the pricy side, but I find that forces me to actually go. #ffc #elmhurst #personaltraining

Used to love this gym, however, the dishonesty of pricing and hidden fees specifically by Kimberly makes this gym a 0 stars. Transparency and honesty from the beginning would’ve been appreciated.
