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.

Denise

INSTRUCTOR

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.

Joe

INSTRUCTOR

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 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!

Jamie

INSTRUCTOR

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.

Matthew

INSTRUCTOR

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.

Shawna

INSTRUCTOR

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!

Kelly

INSTRUCTOR

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.

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.

INSTRUCTOR
I started at Farrell's in 2015. 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. 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.
