My Farrell's story begins like many others. I grew up with a passion for sports and exercise. That love of physical fitness carried through my twenties. However, life happens. By my early 30's, I was in the midst of a rewarding, yet, stressful corporate career. Then, my wife and I were blessed with twins. I quickly fell out of a regular exercise routine. Of course, I continued to eat like I was an active 25 year old, so the weight began to pack on. I eventually recognized this combination of little exercise and poor eating was not working when I saw a picture of myself in the pool with my kids. It was at that point I decided to do something.
In January 2010, I committed myself to complete one of those at-home exercise DVD programs. My wife thought I had lost my mind waking up at 4am every day to exercise. But, I stuck to it for 18 months. Even though I experienced decent results, I wanted a bigger challenge. It was around this time that I also decided to jump off the corporate path and began pursuing my dream of owning my own business. That is when these two seemingly disconnected paths crossed and FXB entered the picture. In September 2011, I noticed this new gym in Blaine, MN and decided to check it out. After learning more about the FXB program, I decided to try the 10-Week Challenge. Within the first week, I was hooked -- I knew this was it!
After several years of being a student and owner of an FXB franchise, I still find the classes challenging and the results tangible. Moreover, the camaraderie and support you find at FXB are unparalleled. I believe in this program and want to help others live healthier, active lives. It's not just a gym...it's a way of life!
