From the reviews
This place is not like other gyms,where you are just a face in a class. Molly and the instructors know your name and want you to be your level 10 Best all the time! A must place to get into shape and keep it!
FXB EP is family!! Come join, become healthy, and have fun!! There is something for everyone-- cardio, strength, and nutrition!! Love this place!! 😀
I joined for the 10 week challenge. Though I didn’t finish it, I was really grateful to have a coach who was assigned to me and another person - Tracy made me feel welcome and paired me with fit members so I didn’t have to try to awkwardly find a partner with a stranger so 6am.
FXB is an amazing place. First and foremost, the design of the program is wonderful. The program is for 3 days of kickboxing and 3 days of strength training. I didn’t realize how important the strength training portion would be until 6-8 months of dedication.
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.
