Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping

I’ve done numerous workout programs and «diets» in my life and none of them are like Farrell’s. When I was younger my active lifestyle and awesome metabolism kept me thin. As I got older the pounds started to creep on and I couldn’t seem to stick to any nutrition or workout program. Finally, a friend of mine started talking to me about Farrell’s. I’m relatively new to Nebraska and had not heard of it before but decided to give it a try. I came to «friends and family» day and at the end I seriously thought I might pass out. How where these people doing it? I decided this was just the change I needed.
There are so many aspects of Farrell’s that I love but one of the biggest is that it is for EVERYBODY. There are people who are pretty in shape and just want to try something new and there are people who have never really worked out in their lives and are trying to get their health under control. You come to any of the class times during the day (120^th and Fort has 4 times). 3 days a week is kickboxing and 3 days a week is bands. Every workout is different from the last and they don’t get boring. When you join you get a team and a coach that will help you through the process. They help you with nutrition and any other questions you may have. If you show up every day and follow the nutrition plan you cannot fail.
I joined because I needed a change and the workouts seemed like just the thing to get my butt in gear. I have stayed with Farrell’s for the team atmosphere and the many ways it has transformed my mind and body. Your team cares if you make it every day. Your coach is there to help you along the way with any struggles. The workouts are ever changing and (I can’t believe I’m saying this) they are actually fun. The nutrition is something that I can see doing for my lifetime, not just for a few months.
Farrell’s has a $ 1,000 winner for every 10 week session for the most extreme transformation. If you are unsure about Farrell’s just visit a location and look at these before and after photos. They are amazing! I feel better, I look better, and I know I am getting in the best shape of my life.

Almost three years of attending this location and still loving it. Also I’ve enjoyed visiting other FXB locations around the country when out of town (FIT students, note that you can visit any location!
Since my original 10-​weeks, I’ve gone on to become a coach and instructor as well. I love sharing this program with others because it’s really become a way of life for me now… which is good because as my other reviews indicate — I love me some eats — and this is a great way to help balance that.
That’s what makes this FXB family so special. Every owner, instructor and coach started out as a 10-​week student, and is on the same journey together.
Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping, also guarantees that you’ll see improvement in your physical fitness. If you follow the program and do not see improvement in at least 70% of your fitness testing, they will give you a full refund. All you have to do is attend class, follow the nutrition and do the work.

It’s only fitting that for my 391^st review, it’s a fitness program. I’ve analyzed my thoughts with regards to the FXB program on my own website, so I’ll try to be concise here.
At first, I went to Farrell’s with a friend who was looking into the program. Note that group fitness is nothing I’ve wanted to do before… I’d never even taken a class at a gym and the last group exercise I participated in was softball practice in high school.
So this friend joined and proceeded to entice me into it. I wasn’t sold. Then my husband went to check it out, and he somehow convinced me. At first I was very hesitant to part with the $ 400 fee (for the initial 10-​week program) since I already had a gym membership. And, of course, I was extremely hesitant because like all good fitness programs, this one also includes a meal plan.
Note that I called it a ‘meal plan’ instead of a ‘diet’. I’ve (obviously) never been big of diets either, and figured that the eating would be the hardest part for me. But now I’m not so sure.
The workouts (a combination of cardio/​kickboxing and resistance training) really push me to my physical endurance limits 6 days a week, during which I eat 6 smaller meals a day that emphasize a balanced ratio of carbs and proteins for my body size… plus vegetables. I could see the meal plan being hard for someone not used to eating things like eggs, cottage cheese, sweet potatoes, peas, etc. But lucky for me I like everything. Plus, you get one ‘free day’ a week to eat and drink whatever and however much you want.
The coaches and trainers are all very helpful and encouraging, without being too forceful, they solicit everyone’s best efforts in the group. I’m about two weeks in right now and so far, I just love it. Having an appointment to work out and someone to tell me what to do definitely helps keep me motivated.
I’d recommend anyone looking for an alternative to a typical gym to check it out.
