From the reviews
Farrell's is one of the best decisions I've made for myself. The staff and other members make you feel welcome on day one, and never once make you feel self-conscious (which I was initially scared of). If you're not sure you can do it, like I was when I started, don't worry!
Farrell's is so welcoming, clean, motivating and amazing workouts. Everyone is there to help. It's not just a gym...they're family. If your looking for a lifestyle change, this is the place to go! I highly recommend this location!
I cannot say enough good things about Farrells. They are so positive and energetic. Very organized daily routines with varying instructors. The food plan is doable and simple. I think the world of Mckenzie and Justin. Stacy has a geat team. I signed up for more sessions.
Great experience - normally attend Edgewood Road location but had to go to Boyson - great instructor and always good to see Stacey!
New to kickboxing? Start at Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping
Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
