Every day, my goal is to make a difference in somebodys life. Whether its a great workout, an inspiring word, or a gentle reminder that were all capable of so much more than what we believe, I just want to spread a little more love and positivity in the world. And health and fitness is the channel in which I get to accomplish all of those things. See you on the mats, living life at a level 10, being a force of awesome, and doing epic stuff!

It has been such a pleasure being able to provide to this community the way I was provided for all those years ago. My favorite part is encouraging all of our members as they kick, punch, and lift their way to achieving their goals.

The thing I love the most about Farrell's compared with other gyms I've gone to in the past is that we are truly a fitness community. Fitness is something I am incredibly passionate about, and I feel very fortunate to be able to help others throughout their journey! I love that the workouts are really designed to work for everyone, regardless of their fitness level. The only thing more rewarding than seeing members reach new goals, big or small, is seeing them push each other to reach their level 10!

I started instructing in May 2015 and I. Love. Instructing. It lights me up and is one of my biggest passions in life! My goal as an Instructor is to give everything I have on the mic to help each person have the best experience possible. Truly, I am here for YOU and I am driven to help you reach YOUR goals! My heart fills when hearing all about limits pushed, confidence gained, and goals smashed!

Farrell’s isn’t just your normal gym – it is also a community, which made me want to become an instructor. Everyone is so supportive & encouraging of each other, regardless of where you are at in your fitness journey. Yes, I go to get my exercise in, but the people are what makes me come back. It makes the workout seem like you’re in it together to push each other to your limits & reach new milestones (and make friends along the way!).

Kickboxing and strength training have become a staple in my life, and I have experienced many changes to my muscle development and physique, cardiovascular health, overall energy level, and stress management since. As an instructor, I strive to bring a cheerful energy and can-do attitude to each class, just as Farrell's has given me. It's amazing to see members reach their goals, and I hope to be a source of guidance and support in that process. See you on the mats!

In August 2017 I became a Strength Training Instructor and a kickboxing instructor not long thereafter. It's been so much fun seeing great progress and results from other members and watching their attitudes and confidence go up! Come check it out for yourself! You will love it!

Sharing my story and helping others to achieve their goals, celebrate successes and live a healthy life is the most fulfilling job I’ve ever had! It’s because of Farrell’s workouts, community and guidance that I can say that I’m working on a nutrition certification, and have made a pivot (insert kickboxing pun here) in my career to pursue fitness full time. I honestly cannot put into words, just how lucky I feel to have been given this opportunity!

I joined Farrell's following the new year in 2021. At the end of the challenge I found that the greatest thing I gained was not the health improvements I accomplished (though I was very happy with those), but rather I had finally found a gym that had me excited and happy to go each morning. Now I am excited to be able to be one of the instructors that helped me to find my gym family, and hope to help welcome in others as they look for a gym that inspires them the same way Farrell's inspired me!

My Farrell’s journey started in 2022 after a friend asked me to join him in an “accountabilibuddy” challenge. Prior to walking through the Farrell’s front door, I had neither kickboxing nor weight training experience. That first class was the beginning of a journey to a healthier lifestyle. I’m excited to be on the mic and to help others in their personal fitness journey.

A year after I started kickboxing I lost almost 100 pounds. I had not only added in exercise but changed my lifestyle to be fully fitness consciouspaying attention to what I am putting into my body to help fuel my body. I started instructing classes and 4 years later I am able to spread my passion for health and fitness as well as continue to challenge myself physically by doing triathlons, half marathons, and eventually full marathons.

On the list of things I never expected to be on my resume/profile, "Group Fitness Instructor" was near the top. However, Farrell's ignited a passion for fitness that I am excited to share with others because if I can do it, you can too.

In 2018, I got a debilitating concussion from a weird accident that completely changed my life. I once again had to develop a new relationship with my body. Becoming an instructor had been a secret dream of mine since before my concussion. It took me some time to get there, but I was finally able to reach for that dream in early 2022. I have LOVED helping to building our Farrell's community as we cheer each other on to step into our most powerful selves and reach for the life we've been yearning for.

My Farrell’s journey started in 2022. I popped in for an intro class and fell in love. Being active is a big part of my life, but I struggled to stay interested in the gyms that I tried out. What got me hooked onto Farrell’s was the diversity in the class plans and the positive encouragement. Now, I get to be on the other side cheering on members on the mic! Life can be stressful, and between the satisfying workouts and community engagement at Farrell’s, I can’t imagine getting through the week without my FitFam! Hope to see you on the mats soon!!

My fitness journey has evolved over the years, but it wasn’t until 2022, when I joined Farrell's, that I truly learned to push my limits. Farrell's has become a place to challenge both my body and mind, surrounded by a supportive community. Now, I’m excited to help others find their strength and invest in their well-being. Whether through physical challenges or personal growth, I’m here to support folks on their journey to becoming their best selves.

I’ve been at Farrell’s for almost 3 years, and it’s truly my happy place. I’ve always loved punching and kicking, so finding this kind of energy (and community!) so far from home was everything. Now I just want to give that back—through fun, hype, and a little sweat. You’re stronger than you think—promise.

I started my Farrel's journey in 2024 and quickly found the sense of community and purpose that had been missing in my life for years. What began as a personal journey became a passion for helping others feel strong, supported, and empowered. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to now give back what Farrell’s has given me!

My Farrells journey started in January 2024 when I finally checked “try kickboxing” off of my bucket list. I immediately fell in love with the workouts, the supportive community, and the confidence I gained as my skills progressed and I increased strength and endurance. I am so excited to help others gain confidence and realize they are so much stronger and more capable than they may believe!
