Congratulations to FFC Oak Park’s December member of the month, Edy Ramirez! Edy answered a few questions for us about being a member at FFC:
Being a member of FFC has motivated me to take care of my physical health. I used to view going to the gym as more of a chore but after developing a weekly gym routine at FFC, it has now become one of my favorite parts of the day.
You’ll see me around 5:00 – 6:00 AM either weightlifting or playing basketball
3. I work out to…
Clear my mind and relax my body in the early morning before heading off into a long day of real estate.

To enhance member safety, personal belongings must be stored in the locker room lockers when using any area of the club. With winter approaching, we also encourage all members to please not use the equipment or take a class in your “street” shoes after snow. This is to prevent damage to the equipment and floors.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Do you suffer from headaches or TMJ? If so, Craniosacral Therapy (CST) could help provide relief!
CST is a gentle, hands-on massaging technique. It uses a light touch to release tension around your body’s connective tissue (fascia) network. CST promotes pain relief from headaches, neck pain, stress, and TMJ. It also helps restore cranial mobility and ease or release restrictions of the head, neck, and nerves. Schedule your massage at the Spa Desk or in the FFC+ app.

Hi everyone! My name is Leah. I have been working at FFC Park Ridge as a registered dietitian for 8 months and am now helping at our West Loop location on Thursdays and Elmhurst location on Mondays. A little about myself; in school, I double majored earning a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics as well as Spanish Studies. I also have a Master’s Degree in Business Administration. I have always been an athlete and played competitive soccer in college so I love to talk about how to use food to fuel and recover your body. I also help a lot of clients who are seeking weight loss or body recomposition and their stories have taught me the invaluable outcome of confidence that people get when they eat well and exercise regularly. I have a habit-centered approach to nutrition counseling, meaning I work with clients on building small, attainable habits to achieve large, sustainable health outcomes. I’m excited to work with you all!
