Member of the Month – Kathryn Macapagal

Meet our Member of the Month, Kathryn Macapagal! See the Q&A to learn more about ’s FFC Kathryn’s Story:

  1. What does membership at FFC mean to you? 

Everything! It is my second home and a place I have gone most days for the last couple of years. As someone who didn’t know her way around weights, and was afraid of them for most of my life, I fell in love with strength training at FFC thanks to my awesome trainers and am super grateful for their guidance.

  1. When I am at FFC you will find me…

Everywhere. I mostly hang out by the kettlebells, squat racks, and cable machines. When I’m not doing that you might find me walking on a treadmill watching Love is Blind, upstairs on my laptop, or getting a massage.

  1. I work out to…

Be stronger as I age, be a role model for my kid, and to get out of my head.

Level Up

Level Up is your go-to program for building strength, mastering new skills, and pushing your limits. Each month on Saturday’s at 10:00 AM, we focus on a specific strength skill, using functional training methods and Conjugate programming to deliver dynamic, results-driven workouts.
