Growing up, I was involved in a variety of sports ranging from baseball, to basketball to bowling. As an adult, I remained active by participating in various sports leagues and going to the local gym to lift weights. Those facts most likely don't surprise anyone who knows me, but what does surprise a lot of people is learning about what brought me to Minnesota.
After a 15-year career in restaurant ownership and operations in Chicago, I made a conscious decision that I wanted to shift the focus of my career and the overall direction of my life to have a greater emphasis on health and fitness. As part of my transformation, I knew I had to make some significant lifestyle changes, which included moving to Minnesota to pursue my calling in health and fitness. I was introduced to Farrell's through friends who had been members. Admittedly, I was skeptical at first that this gym could be different from others I'd experienced. What made this gym so special? I was about to find out!
One of those same friends signed me up for the 10-week session that started in October 2015. I immediately realized what set Farrell's apart from other gyms and other programs: it meets members where they are and offers them the opportunity to improve their overall health in a supportive setting. It was exactly what I was looking for and has delivered exactly what I needed! It wasn't long after I completed my 10-week session that I approached my owners to ask about being an instructor and eventually the head coach (i.e., general manager) for one of their locations. Now it's all about giving back what's been so gratefully given to me.
I love being facilitator of the physical, mental and emotional transformations of our members! In order to provide the best leadership and guidance possible to our membership, I went back to school to receive a formal education in kinesiology and applied nutrition. I'm passionate about building a healthy community, both physically and mentally and plan to spread this drive and enthusiasm through the Farrell's program to the North Loop neighborhood of Minneapolis. The grand opening of FXB North Loop was spring of 2018. We look forward to many more years of making our member's lives a little better every day. Between the encouragement of the tremendous instructors and sense of community provided by our members, Farrell's is sure to inspire you to live your life at Level 10!!!
