    The future is what you make it!

    I Truly Look Forward to the Future! By Brad M., Farrell’s 2020 $10,000 National Challenge Finalist I first heard about Farrells a few years ago. I attended a couple of classes with a friend and was interested but never pulled the trigger. I was a member of a different gym and worked out regularly 3-4 times a week – lifting weights, some cardio, just the usual workouts I had done since playing sports in high school. I would fluctuate up and down 10 lb. week to week. I competed in challenges a couple of times and was always very disciplined and motivated during those challenges, dropping 40 lb and seeing great results. But then when the challenges would end, the ....

But let’s be honest, how many of us actually have the time to do this... let alone meal prep, get to the gym, show up to work, and have time for family? Well, your days of deciding between 10 more minutes of sleep or getting up early to stretch before your gym session are over. Why? Because new research has found that stretching does not have to be an elaborate, lengthy routine.

    The roller coaster has reached the station..

    The Coaster Has Finally Reached the Station By Bobby Turnquist Farrell’s National Challenge Finalist My entire adult life has been a rollercoaster ride of weight. Even in high school, I was never happy with the way I looked. I was never what one would call “fat”, but I always carried a little extra. Thankfully, I was also blessed with a pretty decent athletic ability. This kept me active and is likely why I was not an obese teenager. I never had a grasp on good nutrition and have always eaten whatever I wanted. Surely, as I have discovered over the last year, this was going to catch up with me eventually… I graduated from High school weighing ....

Research has shown that drinking around 64 ounces—or eight, eight-ounce servings—of water each day can help you lose weight and get in shape. But sometimes, plain water just doesn’t quench your thirst. This may have you wondering: Does sparkling water count toward your “eight glasses a day” goal? What is sparkling water? Simply put, sparkling water is just regular water combined with carbon dioxide. The CO2 is what gives sparkling water those addictive bubbles—just like in soda ....

    Are you stuck running in circles

    Farrell’s Got Me Off the Hamster Wheel I Was Stuck In By Joy LeTendre, Farrell’s 2020 National Challenge Finalist At the close of 2018, I felt like I was stuck in a rut. I had been working the same job for 18 years, my husband and I lived in a little townhome with our two little girls, and I kept losing and gaining back the same 20 pounds. After having our two beautiful girls, I never dropped the extra baby weight. I felt like a hamster stuck in its wheel, not making any changes to truly better my life. I had tried a couple Farrell’s classes in early fall 2018, and I will never forget my first kickboxing class. What surprised me most was that even though ....

For some medical professionals, quality of sleep is becoming another vital sign , in addition to our heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, breathing rate, and oxygen levels.

This is more than a gym. It's an entire health program with dedicated owners and instructors to guide you on your journey.

A typical week includes three kickboxing sessions and three strength training sessions. You are also provided with nutrition information and guidance tailored to your individual needs.

I couldn't be happier with my results. I don't think I could be as successful as I have without all of the encouragement and support from the FXB community.

A truly great gym.

Christiana - Farrells is a great place to workout! The atmosphere is always inviting, the instructors are super friendly and welcoming, the workouts are always competitive and never boring. My husband and I continue to get healthier and couldn't be any happier with our progress thanks to the amazing community at Farrells Kickboxing.

Damian - Farrell's is a great gym. Is it intimidating at first? Sure, but so is taking your first step, or your first job interview. The value that Scott and Lyndsey bring is unmatched in a gym setting. The only time someone looks down on you, is to help you up. Love this place!
