Farrell’s Blaine has been my fitness home for the past year and a half. What started as a 10-week challenge turned into something I never wanted to leave even after my family moved farther away to Maple Grove. That alone speaks volumes about what makes this place so special. Farrell’s Blaine is so much more than just a gym. What truly sets it apart is the community and the accountability. You are not just another number here; you are family. We truly do life together. The accountability is real. People notice when you show up, and they notice when you don’t, not out of pressure, but because they genuinely care about you and your growth. Life can throw curveballs (believe me over the past year I have had many) Through it all, from the owner to the instructors, coaches, and fellow members, there is constant encouragement and support. They challenge you, push you, and help you grow both physically and personally. Removing excuses. From kickboxing to strength training, every class is high-energy, varied, and motivating. They even have virtual classes. Whether you’re throwing punches, lifting heavy, or in the trenches pushing through a tough workout, you are never alone. They pour into you as a whole person, not just your fitness or nutrition goals. They listen and truly see and hear you…free of judgment. I am incredibly thankful for Cindi, Heidi, the instructors, coaches, and every member who has invested in me. The impact this gym has had on my life, and the ripple effect it has created for my entire family, is truly remarkable. I cannot say enough about the heartbeat of this gym…transformation from the inside out.
Farrell’s Extreme Bodyshaping in Blaine is hands-down one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health. From day one, the owner and staff have been nothing short of AMAZING - knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your success. Not just with your cardio and strength, but with nutrition and mindset as well. This isn’t a place where you’re just another membership number. They truly care about you as a person, your goals, your progress, and your overall well-being. And the sense of community and the support you feel from your fellow FXB members will keep you coming back.
At FXB, Where I Rise At FXB each morning, I step in with a grin, Where the music starts pumping and the good vibes begin. My friends cheer me on like a fierce, loyal crew— A community of champions who help me push through. I hit every round with a spark in my core, Kickboxing combos that make my spirit roar. Then strength days arrive, and I lift with intent, Feeling muscles wake up like they finally consent. But it’s more than the sweat or the punches that land, It’s the way this whole place seems to help me expand. I’m learning to rise in my life overall— Not just stronger in body, but steady when I fall. I’ve grown in my mindset, more calm and aware, With a heart that stays grounded no matter the wear. And nutritionally too, I’ve stepped into my stride, Fueling with kindness, not pressure or pride. So here’s to FXB, where the journey feels right, Where I grow every day with my goals in sight. With my gym friends beside me—my loud, laughing tribe— I’m building my best self, one rep at a time.
This place has revived me in an enormous way! I walked in just hoping to get stronger again… and I walked out completely re-energized. Every time I show up, the people here push me in the best way. No egos, just encouragement and friendly accountability. One day, I was lifting the smallest weights and minding my business. A young lady had been watching me for a bit, walked over and said: Try these 40s.” I said, “40 lbs… in EACH hand?!” She smiled, “Yes, of course.” And listen… That was the BEST workout I’ve had. I felt powerful. I felt capable. I felt SEEN. This place has helped me gain my strength back, physically and mentally. If you’re looking for a gym that will push you, support you, and celebrate every win… Come give them a try. It just might revive you too.
I cannot say enough great stuff about Farrell's and the people that make up the team (along with its members). I initially started at the Shoreview location, which has the same owner (Cindi N.) as the Blaine and Andover locations. You can tell how amazing the culture is starting at the top with Cindi. She takes the time to talk with all the members, getting to know them on a personal level and building strong relationships with them. She takes a genuine interest in meeting them where they are at and walking with them along their journey of where they WANT to be in terms of overall health. She is incredibly knowledgeable with not just the exercise piece, but with the whole gambit of fitness (e.g. adjusting one’s dietary needs, the psychology behind food, our relationship with food, etc.). She has incorporated the knowledge piece into every aspect at Farrell’s, ultimately giving the members the tools needed for long-term success. And her culture of caring extends throughout the ENTIRE gym network, where everyone from the top down is genuinely vested in the success of all who attend. And the team that she has put into place is equally amazing. Heidi L. (the GM at Blaine), Sean A. (coach), and the rest of the team have the same approach (and it really shows with every interaction with them). When I first walked in through the doors, Heidi greeted me by name and welcomed me to the “family.” After getting the initially “I’s” dotted and “T’s” crossed with getting setup, she introduced me to Sean and the rest of the coaching team. They all took a genuine interest in my past, what had led my journey to them, and where I wanted to go from there. During that time, I’ve hit the usual ups and downs with progress, weight, etc. But everyone has been very encouraging and is always willing to look into things and provide sound feedback that has been nothing but helpful with getting me back on track and to keep moving forward. Though my fitness journey is far from being complete, I’ve lost over 70 pounds in just under 7 months with Farrell’s. I couldn’t imagine calling any other place “home,” and am excited to see what my future holds with them. Thank you to everyone there, you truly are amazing!!!
