I started Farrell's in the Summer of 2014 and knew it was a great fit for me. I have met some great friends, coaches, and instructors while also feeling part of a group that wants to exercise and live a healthy life style. My wife and three kids have also started to exercise more and eat better. I am very thankful and happy to be a part of Farrell's Southside family.

My fitness journey began in 2013. I have a wife and two beautiful girls. Nothing makes me happier than seeing FIT and new FXB students doing something I love so much and watching them succeed! Farrell's is the only fitness program that has kept my interest. The program works if you let it.

I started Farrell's with the first FXB group at this location in 2009. I have 5 girls and am glad that due to Farrell's I am confident in the example I've shown them. A wonderful journey from 350lbs to an Instructor, I am elated to pay it forward!

I began Farrell's in the spring of 2013 and I was blown away with my results. This program has taught me how to persevere through challenges both in and out of the gym and accomplish feats I never thought I could.

I am a physics teacher in Des Moines. I couldn't imagine going through life without being active. Farrell's gives me the ability, constant reminders, and the motivation to do so.

I joined the 10-week session in 2012. I became a FIT member after and for years I would take the winter off and get back into things in the spring. It wasn't until 2015 that I realized I missed being "FIT" year round. FXB has not only improved my strength and endurance but has also improved my self-esteem, energy, and overall happiness. I am in better shape at age 34 than I have ever been. My mile time this year was faster than it was at age 17.

I started Farrell's in 2013 after a hard look in the mirror and not liking what I saw. Since then both my husband and I have become much healthier, happier people. I have truly loved coaching, instructing, and helping others on the way to a much healthier, happier self! The soreness after a workout is so much more satisfying than the soreness I was experiencing from being overweight and unhealthy!

I started my journey at Farrell's in January 2013 after my second baby. I quickly became addicted to the intense workouts and loved the results I was seeing! It's such a great feeling helping others reach their own fitness goals as well!

I started Farrell's in 2009 after graduating from college and entering the work field. Farrell's changed my life with the friendships I have gained, lives I have helped change and self-esteem I personally have gained. For myself Farrell's has kept me in the shape that I need to be in for my tactical team, defensive tactics and police reserves. I couldn't be more blessed to be a part of something so great. Live life at level 10 and never forget the burpees.

I am an Iowa transplant and served proudly in the Marine Corps for 9+ years. When I moved to Iowa I did a few other programs and was drawn to the Farrell's program for the results that it can give. What I like best about Farrell's is the friendships that you make. I started instructing because I believed in the program and wanted to help other achieve the life fitness balance that they are seeking.

I have been with Farrell's since January 2010 and I started teaching after finishing my 10 weeks. I'm married with two children and I practice law when I am not in the gym. I enjoy teaching and coaching and just being a part of our Southside gym family; the dynamics and energy can't be beat!

I am a happily married mom with two kids Abby & Drew. I am one of the crazy 4:15 am instructors. I joined Farrell's in January 2015 because I was harassed by my family to come and try it out. I just had my youngest son so I was very scared about joining and didn't think I could do it. I jumped right in and have never looked back. I am ever so grateful for my family, because Farrell's is like a second home to me and I am happy to have found such a wonderful team to be a part of.

After completing the 10 week program in the winter of 2015, I committed myself to Farrell's. I regained my competitive edge, was sleeping better, and all around felt AWESOME. I took that passion to the mic and began teaching in the fall. Instructing has allowed me to push myself harder and help others reach their own individual fitness goals.

I joined Farrell's in April of 2005 and currently instruct at 2 locations. My husband, Rich and I have 3 grown children and 6 grandchildren. Farrell's has taught me how to live a healthy lifestyle. Also, it has given me the opportunity to meet and workout with incredible people who challenge me and motivate me each day.

I chose to become an instructor at Farrell's because I enjoy giving back to those who have given so much to me. I love the environment at Farrell's. Every day when I walk in, no matter what is going on in my life, I know I walk into a place of no judgement and total support. There's nothing better than being surrounded by positive, goal oriented people. I started as a nooner.... because nooners are the best! But, have begun to spread the love to the 8:30am class, where you'll find me instructing usually on Thursdays and Fridays. Fight for Failure!

I started at Farrell's in 2015. The instructors, coaches, and members care. I lost my father unexpectedly the day before Thanksgiving that first year. The next morning I came to the only class of the day because I didn't really know what else to do. I had no sleep and was a wreck. Some people found out through Social media what had happened. I had people I barely knew giving hugs. A member jumped on the bag with me and said I'll get you through this. You go. I go. Another member found my address and brought homemade pies and soup to help my family have some shred of a "normal" holiday. I came to take care of myself and I stay to try and help others because they were there to help take care of me.
