My goal, every day when I hit that mat is to help at least one student do more, feel better, and live longer. This program is not just a physical makeover, it's a total body transformation, from the inside out. This program has allowed me to give back in a way I never thought possible.

I started with Farrell's not knowing what to expect. After week 1, I was hooked. This was nothing like I had experienced before. The energy, commitment, accountability and most of all the "family" environment.
When you join Farrell's you truly join a family.

I love being around people make healthy changes in their lives and feeling better after each workout. When I am not at the gym (and not meal prepping), I love spending time with our Grandkids, they are a blast. I also volunteer for many activities at Church, which keeps me very busy.

INSTRUCTOR
Since joining Farrell's I have been able to keep the weight off, improve my endurance, build strength, and found peace in my nutrition. What really kept me going and helped me achieve my goals were the friends and family I made along the way. The community we have here at FXB sets us apart from the rest. When I am not at FXB, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my son. They are my reason WHY.

I started FXB fall session 2010. I enjoy all workouts at FXB. M-W-F getting my groove on and punching the bag! T-TH-S resistance especially Quads, Hamstrings, Triceps and biceps! Away from Farrell's I love spending time with my family and friends, listening to music, and soaking up the sun!

In the beginning I was using several excuses: I was too old, I was on thyroid medication, I'd had children and this just wasn't going to be possible. All of which obviously are lies we tell ourselves every day. I stay in the program to maintain good physical health and an active lifestyle. I love helping others and seeing them achieve these types of results for themselves every day throughout this program.

No matter what kind of day I have had, when I come in to teach, it all gets better. I love instructing both kickboxing and strength training!! I would say my favorite kickboxing combinations include hooks... and roundhouses, they're good for the abs too! I love leg day!! My favorite strength training exercises are squats and the donkey kick combo.

I love FXB because there is little thinking involved. You show up for 45 minutes, rock the bags or the bands and go home. Follow a very easy nutrition plan and BAM....results. This is a program that is maintainable for the long haul.
FXB is a lifestyle....a lifelong lifestyle.

FXB is so much more than a gym. I have gained some of my closest life-long friends at Farrell's. Though we come from all different walks of life and are different in many ways, our passion for health and fitness brings us all together. FXB is a family and will be there through the good and bad, in and out of the gym.

I began instructing in 2012 and have loved every minute of it. Seeing the strength and determination of the students keeps me coming back and setting new goals to continue to be the dad I always wanted to be, a healthy and active dad they have to keep up with!

INSTRUCTOR
My journey began in June of 2009. A friend asked me to join with her and I instantly fell in love with the program. In my initial ten weeks, I lost 20lbs and 6% body fat. Shortly after, I became an instructor and still am 9 years later. It's not just a program, it's a family and a lifestyle. You won't regret joining, I know I didn't. See you on the mats!

I attend 6 am and started in Oct. 2010. I love that FXB keeps me healthy, strong, fit and out of the Physical Therapist/Doc office. I love to go standup paddle boarding and Kayaking (in the summer of course). I love stations.

Having the opportunity to become an instructor was something my husband lovingly encouraged me to try. It was an opportunity to move outside of myself and help others achieve their own greatness with meeting their goals. Its absolutely amazing to see students push their limits farther than they thought, I am proud to be able to witness their growth.

I've coached 10-weekers, become a level 1 strength training instructor, and worked out every day until I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, James. I came back ready to continue to challenge myself and others each day Im on the mat. I can't wait to see what else FXB LaVista has in store for me in the future.

I started with Farrell's in April of 2017. I was the heaviest I had ever been aside from being pregnant. I gave all the typical excuses, I didn't have any time, I didn't have money for a gym membership, I had four children that made my body the way it was and that was "ok." For me this program has truly been life changing and having the opportunity to continue with Farrell's as an instructor is an honor.

I joined FXB La Vista after a friend convinced me to come to friends/family day. In my 10 week session, I dropped 9% body fat. I started this program to get in shape, but in reality it is the people and the workout that have kept me coming back. I have never been around more motivating people. People happy to see you, happy to push you and happy when you achieve a goal.

From that very first day, Farrell's felt like I was supposed to be there. Everyone was very welcoming and the accountability to my new family was overwhelming (in a good way)! Most of my 10-week class still attends our original class time and every new session adds to the #LateNight family. I love the feeling of being home when I walk in the door.

FXB has changed my life in so many ways. I started FXB in 2014 after Matt and I got engaged. We were not on the best path health wise, but we were happy. When most people are happy and comfortable with their lifestyle, they tend to lose sight of what's healthy. I owe FXB a lot, I am so blessed for all the new friends and family, accountability and a new outlook on life it has given me!

After completing my 10 weeks, I jumped into coaching to help inspire others to feel the motivation and encouragement I felt. I wanted people to know they are not alone and anything is possible with the support and encouragement of others going down their journey. Facing those walls one by one and tearing them down, one by one.
