Community that encourages you onward. Nutrition counseling that accelerates results. Exercise that is actually rewarding. It's Farrell's winning formula, and it’s winning the Eden Prairie gym more and more members each week!
“What is that place? A gym for big bodybuilders? I used to ask myself that every time I drove past the Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping near my house,” said Sujata Costello, co-owner and family physician. “But when I learned they actually offer fitness classes for all skill levels in a supportive environment, I knew it was exactly the place for me.
“I signed up for one of Farrell’s signature ten-week challenges because the elliptical machine I had done for years was no longer cutting it at age fifty. I was amazed by the percentage of body fat I had lost by the end of the challenge! I also became noticeably stronger over that short span of time, and am still experiencing improvements in strength, muscle definition and stamina. As a doctor, I know those are all indicators of good quality of life in old age, as well as longevity.
“My husband Bill joined immediately after my first challenge ended. He hadn’t even finished his first ten weeks before the option to buy the franchise presented itself. By then, we had both fallen in love with Farrell's results and sense of community. We couldn’t let the opportunity pass. We bought this gym so we could support and be part of a movement that promotes health and wellbeing while bringing people together – two increasingly precious things in this era.”
KICKBOXING
“Farrell’s specializes in kickboxing for one simple reason,” Sujata continued. “It’s the best cardio workout on earth! High-energy music. Highly enthusiastic trainers. High-intensity interval training, which burns fat, builds muscle, and strengthens bones more effectively than a typical treadmill workout. No other cardio is more engaging or more rewarding.
“Even though we aren’t training professional fighters, our members invariably wind up feeling stronger and more confident. Knowing how to throw a mean kick and punch certainly won’t set you back during a self-defense situation!”
STRENGTH TRAINING
“We alternate kickboxing days with strength training days, featuring guided routines revolving around resistance bands and dumbbells. It’s intense, but we provide it with the expert guidance our members need to get their best results, regardless of age or physical ability. Many come to us with preexisting shoulder, knee and hip issues. They can’t believe how much they can lift once they’re taught proper technique.
“We aren’t training bodybuilders here, despite what the name of the gym might suggest. Our strength training programs are entirely geared toward building functional strength and promoting weight loss. And when it’s combined with kickboxing, it becomes exponentially more potent and fun.”
NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING
“Nutrition is one of the hardest elements of fitness for most people to master. Sometimes members just need a weekly food plan. Sometimes they have to take a step back and completely reexamine their relationship with food, including its role in their culture, family dynamics, and even their emotional state.
“We’re here to meet them wherever they’re at. From basic education and meal tracking to group classes and one-on-one consultations, we provide everything you could need to rethink your relationship with food, and reshape it into one that helps you become fitter, healthier, and happier.”
COMMUNITY
“I can’t overstate the importance of community to us. The friends they make at Farrell’s keep our members engaged, accountable, and always excited to come back for more. It’s one of the main reasons why we keep new members for much longer than the average gym.
“Group fitness doesn’t just improve people’s lives within the confines of our gym. Those same friendships continue existing after class has ended. The group workouts and celebrations we throw at the end of each ten-week challenge bring people closer together than the members of regular gyms. Before long they’re planning coffee meetups, birthday parties, and weekend get-togethers. Fitness for life. Friends for life!”
CHANGE YOUR HABITS – CHANGE YOUR LIFE
“We’re always here to help you develop the good habits that change your life for the better.
“Most of our new members reinvent themselves over the course of the ten-week programs we begin every quarter. Many others join us during our five-week challenge programs, which push limits and kickstart transformations. Whichever appeals to you, we encourage you to join us for TWO FREE CLASSES so you can experience both types of workouts we offer. We’re confident that’s all you’ll need to fall in love with Farrell’s. We look forward to welcoming you!”
