Expresso Fitness S2™ Upright Bikes have arrived at Halsted Street!

Fitness Formula Clubs Halsted Street is excited to add the Expresso Fitness S2 Upright Bikes that uses the very latest in virtual reality technology. The S2™ motivates you with a rich, interactive training environment, and gives you the tools to keep improving. You will be able to pick one of dozens of courses available to you, race against your personal best, listen to the latest internet music, and bring a friend to race against you. Please see the programs desk for more information.


Pilates for Men

Based on the popularity of the Adaptive Motion Trainers, we have added two additional AMT® units. The AMT does more than customize a workout, it customizes a movement -- adapting to your motion -- which means you can completely change the motion and paths of your steps without so much as the push of the button. Best Fitness Industry Cardio Product of 2007. The AMT® Trainers are located by Studio 1.


Power Plate® Demonstrations

Acceleration Training™ with the Power Plate® adds a new dimension to your training regimen. With the workout lasting 30 minutes and your muscles contracting 30 - 50 times per second, acceleration training is the most time-efficient fitness and wellness method available today. Participate in a demonstration during the month of July and enter to win a $50 FFC Gift Card! Contact FFC Halsted Personal Trainer Kristen Vencill at kvencill@ffc.com to schedule a demonstration.


Pilates with Katrina
