I have been coming for 4 to 5 years. It is the best, most encouraging gym. The people and instructors are top notch!

I highly recommend Farrell's to anyone looking to either start or continue their fitness journey. I spent many years bouncing around big box gyms and once I found Farrell's, I never looked back. As someone who always struggled with trying to develop a fitness routine, Farrell's offered me guidance in the form of their 10-week program where they focused on teaching strength training and kickboxing as well as how to maintain proper nutrition to fuel your body. If you follow the program, the results truly speak for themselves. This location specifically has the most amazing instructors, ownership, and community and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for more than just your average gym! read more

I stopped in to get info on the 10 week challenge program and to find out the cost. I thought I read online the 10 week costs $199- you work out 6days per week and you're given guidance w nutrition.. (the biggest part of any fitness goal. I was wrong about the cost- $549 up front for 10wks then $139.00 ea mo afterwards; or $179 for 3 mos and then $139-159 per mo afterwards.. w a 60 day notice to quit.. unfortunately these options are way wayyyyyy. out of my affordability. I guess with fitness programs if you want everything planned out for you and all you have to do is show up - this is what you should expect the cost will be. For those of us who can't fork out that cost we will have to do all that on our own. read more

I am a member at FXB and, overall, am a supporter and endorser of their programs, staff, hours, and location. It is a great 45 minute fairly high intensity work out and since you work out with others, there is some "peer pressure" to keep the pace which is a good thing. I do feel they could be better at "coaching," you kind of just get thrown in and could dramatically improve being more consultative regarding diet (which is just as crucial as working out, if not more). Also, at times it gets crowded but could just be a sign how popular this place has become. Overall, no "major" complaints. Good people and members are mostly suburban moms and dads looking to get back into shape. read more

Waking up to work out at 6am for the past three days has me withholding that fifth star. Once I'm done with my ten week course, I'll update. Right now, I'm dying. I was turned on to this place by a friend and coworker. They have a ten-week program where there motto is "Results Typical." The before and after photos were unbelievable, so I thought I'd check it out. The price is a little bit steep, but considering you get equipment and access to fitness experts during the sessions, I figured it was worth it. Plus, every ten week session participant is entered into a competition for the most positive transformation after the ten weeks. Prize: $1000. They have multiple morning and evening session options available and price is contingent upon which one you choose, with the mornings being the most expensive (of course). The classes only last 45 minutes, which is GREAT for busy schedules. Rest assured, however, they will whoop your ASS for every second of those 45 minutes. The classes are six days a week and you alternate days of kickboxing and strength training with nutrition as the backbone of the program. They say that you will be assigned a personal trainer. This is a bit of a misnomer, as some of the trainers are simply people that they've recruited from previous 10-week courses, so don't think you're headed in there to work with all these NASM-certified elites. That said, they've been through the program and can offer you sympathy and support whenever you need it. They also have multiple locations throughout the metro - and the country. I had honestly never heard of this program before, but the group classes keep you honest and the blasting music keeps you moving. I can honestly say that I'm excited to be there in the morning. Not sure what they're pumping through the vents, but it's working! Stay tuned for an update when I complete my ten week course. And go online and check out those B&A photos! read more

Great gym and great atmosphere. Really like being able to get my workout in right away in the morning and the community aspect. Hard workouts and a great regime - with amazing instructors. read more

Love FXB! This is the only gym I have ever been to that cares so much about their members. When Covid shut all the gyms down, the owner of this location (also owns Shoreview, Andover and Plymouth) sprung into action. She set up a virtual option, and still maintains that today as well as classes in the studios. All of the members support one another, even those that are still taking virtual classes feel connected. And classes are fun! Simply the best!!! read more

This is the place to workout, no matter what you are going for. You can be out of shape, kinda in shape and in shape. Farrell's will change your life and you will have results. I have been in the course for 19 weeks and still get excited to go to class every morning at six am. You find yourself pushing yourself harder than you ever thought you would, because you are having fun. Fun with great friends, great instructors and great workouts. Do one of the best things you will ever do for yourself check FXB out and get enrolled in the next 10 week challenge! read more

This place is unlike any other and is currently one-of-a-kind in the Twin Cities... I just finished the 10-week program on Saturday; I look great (says I) and feel FANTASTIC! Seriously, I lost 11 pounds, shed 6% of my body fat, and melted away 12 inches of stomach, hips and arms - in TEN WEEKS. And my numbers aren't even that impressive compared to the progress that others in the program made. The owners/instructors, Walt and Damion, are such a dynamic duo. They make working really, really hard really, really fun. I have committed to another YEAR of FXB because joining this place was the best decision I've made in a long time. read more

I am on my second week of the ten week challenge & I already feel stronger! I was a lifer Lifetimefitness member until now. I lost interest in going to the gym because I lost hope in progress. At Farrell's I can already see progress & the classes are FUN! Kickboxing & boxing are a BLAST....I actually look forward to getting to class & challenging myself :) Plus the instructors are very helpful & the people are fun! read more

Terrible - too many 'fit' members in gym with the '10 week' people. Fun Friday's are NOT fun. I ended up getting sick with Vertigo turned into Meniere's Disease in week 3 and could no longer participate; we asked about a refund or partial refund since I was only there 3 weeks and a few days. They said NO, that I had participated in 'half the classes' (I don't understand their math - 5 weeks would be half). ALSO, when they measured my friend at the end of the 10 week class, I was there for her support; when they measures her they pulled the measuring tape tighter so that her excess skin stuck out over it, (to make it seem like she lost more inches than she actually did) and then stated "great job, you lost 'blablabla' 'inches". SO wrong to not be truthful! People go there to get fit and to feel good, not to be lied to! DO NOT GO TO BLAINE! Go to Andover, I heard they are MUCH better! read more

awesome program with excellent results. its a very supportive environment where everyone supports your fitness goals and helps you achieve them. not like some places down the road that are impersonal and only want to build muscles. farrells is for the total body including the mind. read more

I am in my second 10 week Challenge here. I still work out 6 days a week and totally look forward to it on an almost daily basis. I have grown physically as well as mentally from my experience working out here. In addition to that I am impressed at the attention the instructors put into the workouts and making sure that even the FIT members are still receiving a Challenge. It is through always having something "new" that alleviates boredom and keeps me (and others) coming everyday. This is truly one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. And I am worth it. :) read more

"I can't say enough good things about Blaine Farrell's!!I remember stepping foot in their doors thinking there's NO way I can do this, but I tried out the free friends & family week and I fell in LOVE with the program and decided to sign up for their 10 week challenge!!! It was by far the hardest workout I've ever done, but the most rewarding experience I've ever felt. The instructors are AWESOME and extremely motivating and it's obvious they love what they do and truly want to see you reach your goals. I've made some great friends there and built some pretty awesome confidence!! I finished my 10 weeks in June and I couldn't be happier with my results... I lost 11.6 lbs, 4% body fat and a lot of inches. I would highly recommend Blaine Farrell's to anyone... everyone there, including other members are so friendly, motivating and they make you WANT to keep coming back!!! " read more

If I could give this place a zero i would. First off it seems like anyone can teach a class there. Which is fine but when people get hurt the new teachers don't know what to do. I ran into some medical issue and asked if I could have my account put on hold I was told time and time again that it was but every month I was getting charged. When i would bring the issue up to them they just told me they would fix it but never did. I finally started to feel better. I went to the gym I was broke out all over and was told that i could not come back until I cleared up because I was scaring guest. So I left completely devastated. Here I was feeling better and they tell me I can't come back until i am completely healed. So I left kept getting charged for the months I was not there. My bank account got hacked so my card declined. (Thank God) got an email right away saying it declined. And they need a new one. I never gave them a new one for how i was being treated. When I was at Farrells I liked it at first then it started to become a very judgemental. I am over weight and they made it known that i was. It didn't help me it made me worse. I am really glad i am Done with this Gym if you are looking for a gym that will judge you for improving yourself this gym is for you. Or to have a bunch of clicks again just for you. read more

I have really liked this gym. I was a bit intimidated before joining. I thought I would not be able to do the challenge. But the instructors are great. The classes work and I've gotten great results. I am definitely stronger now than I was beforehand. I'm 52 years old and happy to say that I'm getting older and better. I have never gotten results like this working out on my own. read more

This was the BEST workout experience I've ever had!!! The results were incredible it's also a lifestyle change makes you want to continue to stay fit and healthy!!!! read more

Was very excited to start this program. I had co-workers who went and were very satisfied. I do have to say that I am glad that I went as I found out I could do more that i thought and I was stronger than i knew. However the downfall, very expensive. They give a law enforcement discount which I didn't get because I am not an officer. Owner can make that decision. I guess what I do for law enforcement isn't as important. Okay, whatever. When I went on the website there was a button to get a discount but it wouldn't let me use it. Why was it there if you can't use it. i paid for 2 memberships, very expensive. My friend could not continue for medical issues but they would not give me any type of credit. She can not return and did not go to half the classes. They said she went to a majority of them. I guess they don't know the definition of majority. Oh, if I wanted to give them over $900 to become a fit member they would take some money off of that membership. Hell to the no, they would never get anymore of my money. As far as the before and after. All I can say is the weight cannot lie. The photos are a joke. When i had my after picture taken she told me to take a deep breath and hold it. Of course you will look smaller doing that. They never told me to do that at the before photos. They don't measure consistently. It seemed the first measurement i got seemed correct. The after measurement wasn't even close to being done correctly. They pulled the tape so tight and then said wow you lost 6 inches. Bull shit I did not. I did lose 11 pounds and more than doubled my sit ups and push ups, At least that wasn't a lie. I know it did something. After I was all done I ran into a gal who works out at the Andover location. I told her what I went through and she said she had heard not to go to the Blaine location. She lives up the street and works in Blaine but would not go there. I wish I would have known that before I gave them my money. read more
