Really liked this gym - till it became too much…read more The community - Best part of the gym Some of the staff - Cool people Equipment - gets the job done. But, 2 of those things (community and staff) can only get you so far when you're paying a ton of money. Since I've been going to FFC (about 7 years total?) and starting at Elmhurst, it was pretty good. The cost, from the beginning has been high - but, what you get in return is less of a crowd. With that being said, FFC Oak Park has hit me with a monthly increase per year since I've been there and I don't think I can do it much longer. It's unfortunate because its a decent gym but, I've never been to a gym ( and I've been to quite a few ) where the monthly payment has increased yearly.

Rosendo teaches a wide variety of Zumba classes that are infused with hip-hop, samba, bachata,…read moresalsa, reggeaton, and Mexican-cumbia dance moves. Even when you think you are a bachata-master or a reggeaton queen, he will challenge your body and keep your feet, body, and mind learning something new. He even does dance choreography! I've been attending his Zumba Classes which include: Weight training and Zumba Toning for about a month now, and I am hooked! His classes are 1 hour long and typically start on-time. If you arrive late, no worries, you won't feel out of place. I've attended his 10AM and 7PM classes and they are both friendly and hardworking group of men and women combined. On average, there is 15-20 participants in classes. The 7PM class gets a bigger crowd. In his Weight Training Class, he provides yoga mats, dumb bells ranging from 1.5-10 lbs, (you are welcomed to bring your own), resistance bands, and gliders. The space is a banquet hall studio so it has hardwood flooring. Bring your own water bottle! There isn't a water fountain or machine to purchase goods. Rosendo is dedicated to teaching Zumba, and teaching his students proper techniques when it comes to lifting and toning. $5 Zumba Class - Affordable! Monthly $50, and well worth it if you are serious about losing weight or toning up. Las clases de Rosendo son bien divertidas. Su personalidad combinadad con la seleccion de musica hace pasar el tiempo bien rapido. Las mujeres que asisten sus clases son dedicadas y la majoria tienen conociendo Rosendo por mucho tiempo. El toma su tiempo explicando los movimientos y cuando nosotros (los estudiantes) no hacemos la tecnica adecuada, el nos castiga con una cancion bien dura (probablemente una cancion que se concentra en las piernas) pero lo hace todo con amor y justicia.. jaja. El baila con nosotros y aveces nos divide la clase en medio para ser una competencia de baile. No se asusten! Ven que muchos estudiantes estan en el mismo ritmo o tratando de hacer el moviemento con fluidez. Una clase vale $5 y por el mes $50. Todas las clases son una hora. Rosendo tambien tiene clases de entrenamiento personal pero yo no lo he probado. Sinceramente, me gusta sus clases porque son etnicamente diversa.

This place is amazing for toddlers…read more We attended a 3rd birthday party here on Saturday, and everything looked like it went so well! Everything is fun and well organized. We took the Green Line and walked the last few blocks to get here. My 21 month old son was asleep most of the way to get here. He was still waking up when he walked in, we gave him a little snack and some water, and then he went into the gym part. He was instantly SO EXCITED. He was running around and laughing. For a birthday party, they have a ton of organized parts that are perfect for toddlers. The staff here is fantastic. My 21 month old was not old enough to be interested in taking part of any of the organized activities. But he was so happy to run around on the cushiony floors, climb up the different sections, go down slides, go in the ball pit, jump on the trampoline, etc. I think the activities might be more appreciated by 3+, but the party was still great for all of the toddlers! The party was 1.5 hours long, and the last 15-20ish minutes were food and cake in the lobby area. So food stays separate from the gym part. If this place were closer to me, I would host our next couple of birthday parties here. They have toddler toilet seat as well as koala care changing station in the bathroom.

2 years later and I still go here and still use the $12/day pass and this place STILL ROCKS…read more Love the sauna & whirlpool (which are included with your day pass). I mainly just use the ellipticals in the upstairs hallway and then use some weight machines. LOTS of space, quietness, and privacy which I LOVE. TVs always work fine, equipment always clean, working, and top notch, locker room is pretty and spacious and quiet. Somebody is ALWAYS cleaning. Towel service is ALWAYS free even for day passers. Front desk owners are ALWAYS pleasant as can be! Whats not to love?? No kids running around like maniacs like the Oak Park Y has. No crazy initiation fee or contract like FCC has. Can't see anything to hate about this place but I wish it were cheaper to become a member b/c then I would join for the year. Currently its $65/mo per person plus $100 joiner fee. Too much for a person who goes only 1-2x a month like me! You're still a great place, OP Tennis and Fitness!!

I am the type of person who needs a safe space to exercise and people around me who feel supportive and encouraging, and at Club Pilates Oak Park, I found exactly that. I invested in an unlimited membership and have attended over 50 classes so far. Every instructor I've worked with has been amazing, but a I want to give a special shoutout to Pete J., who's made working out feel fun for me again. His classes are challenging, he always helps me push myself a little harder, but most importantly, he makes me WANT to be in the room. I wake up and look forward to being in class because of the energy he brings to the studio, and it's because of him that I continue to call Club Pilates Oak Park one of my "homes" now. As long as Pete is teaching, I'll be going to Club Pilates Oak Park! (Plus, he's a Cubs fan!)

We sorted it out, or so we thought. Last week, additional confirmation texts and calls were sent by your team members, when we were ALL already confirmed for our class.

We wanted to give it a try and then sign up if we liked it. We were never given that chance. I believe we were judged based on our names at registration. We've had issues since.

Tommaso is amazing. If you're looking for someone to motivate you, inspire you and help you change…read moreyour body, he's your guy. He is excellent at designing workouts and he has so much positive energy that it rubs off on you. I have always been active, but losing my job, then being on lockdown with a toddler threw me off my game. The gyms were closed, the weather was nasty, and I just couldn't motivate myself to do workouts at home. I gained weight and felt sluggish. I was not myself. That's when I found Tommaso and helped me turn things around. At first, I was not excited about the concept of a virtual trainer. I didn't think it would be much better than a workout video. Boy was I wrong! I signed up for the assessment and decided to have an open mind. After that first session I was really encouraged. I was amazed at how well Tommaso could identify what was going on with my body all through my iPad screen. For example, he could tell that my right side was weaker and knew that I had an old injury on that side without me telling him. He also radiated positivity and talked about mind and body, not just about training or losing weight. I took the plunge and signed up to work with him for 3 months minimum. Now 5 months later, I'm so happy I made that decision. He has helped me transform my body and feel good again. If you're thinking about working with him, just do it! You won't be sorry.

I was looking for a personalized holistic training approach including physical workouts and…read morenutritional guidance. Tommaso setup a 12 week program for me around these needs and I was very happy with the process and results and I then signed up for a second 12 week engagement (currently happening at the time of this review). Everything is virtual which allows a lot of freedom and the ability to maintain our workout schedule when I'm traveling by bringing a minimal amount of gear. I was initially skeptical of a virtual approach but after speaking with his prior clients and experiencing it for myself it has proved great - don't let this hold you back. Workouts are tailored to my level and abilities and address aches and pains when they arise. The nutritional coaching has been key for me as we review my weekly eating habits and tweak things slowly over time to eliminate unhealthy cravings with healthy substitutions and mental awareness of eating decisions. I wanted a realistic all around approach to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I have done my share of extreme diets and workout regimens which work for a while but aren't sustainable. Tommaso is focused on realistic long term strategies that will work long into the future and that is what I'm getting. I highly recommend working with Tommaso to tailor a program for you and achieve your specific goals.
