The culture that we have built and strive to maintain is one where, "We Rise by Lifting Others." We encourage, motivate and inspire each and every person to embrace and face adversity, but also to appreciate what doing so teaches us. Adversity makes us stronger physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Our instructors, coaches and members have embraced this philosophy and we seek to be a well that anyone can drink from and come away feeling accomplished.

I started my first 10 week session in June 2006 at the Urbandale location and my second 10 week session in March 2009 at the Altoona location. The workouts, people, and accountability of showing up to class was something I didn't want to give up. So I signed up for a year and by the end of June I was instructing strength class.

I started FXB Altoona in January 2010. What I love most about the FXB program is the built-in support and accountability that comes from the community. Outside of Farrell's, my husband and I try to keep up with our 5 kids. We like to stay active as a family - whether it is at the baseball field, basketball court, riding bikes, or just jumping on the trampoline.

I started Fall Session of September, 2007. In my 9th year of Farrell's! It's family! There isn't a better way to put it. I love watching the success people have in the program and for a lot of those people they've never had that with any diet or exercise program they've attempted. It's just very satisfying to know that I've been a small piece in that success. We're in it together!!

I've been with Farrell's since 2009 and an instructor since 2010. I teach strength training and kickboxing. One recurring theme you'll hear when someone talks about Farrell's is community, and that truth is why I am so passionate about Farrell's. I'm truly blessed to be part of such an amazing organization, and am reminded every time I step on the mat that what we do as a community can change someone's life.

I started my journey the winter session of January 2013 and never looked back. What I enjoy most about Farrell's is all the wonderful and influential people I have meet along the way. Outside of Farrell's, I enjoy basketball, football, golf, MMA, The Walking Dead, and spending time with friends and family.

I have been at FXB Altoona since I did my ten weeks in 2012. The thing I love most about Farrell's is that everyone starts out doing the same 10 week program. We all have different reasons for being there, different goals and our own fears but we have all stepped out into that mat on Day one with hope, nerves, goals and determination!

What advice would you give to someone who is considering making a lifestyle change with Farrell's?
"Just start. Take the opportunity to be a part of the Farrell's community! It is so much more than just a gym or a workout."
