From the reviews
I started my Farrell’s journey at a different location but it closed and I ultimately found my new home at the “U”! I love it there. It’s welcoming and inclusive. The workouts are so great! The people are all awesome and it’s a good time while getting in a valuable workout
What an amazing place. I’ve been here 2.5 years and I can’t believe it took me this long to write a review. Love this gym, love the instructors, love the members, love the owners.. everyone is so supportive and kind. It's my happy place 6 days a week.
Farrell's helped me discover a new part of me. Never did I think I'd be waking up anxious to work out! I've lost 20+ lbs in the 1st five weeks and have been gaining A LOT of muscle. I was very surprised to find out how much I enjoy the group environment.
This program has completely changed my life! It is a great workout/nutrition program but it is so more than that for me, it is my Farrell's family, it’s self confidence, it's strength and it's AWESOME STRESS RELIEF!!! It has probably saved my life or at the very least my sanity.
New to kickboxing? Start at Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping - Urbandale
Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping - Urbandale 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 - Urbandale
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.
