Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping - Maple Grove

Great gym and instructors!

Tim and Sara are wonderful. If you need to get your fitness on track for the first time, back on track after time away, or just change up your routine, do yourself a favor and check them out! Great people great program, great results!

I had joined the 10 week challenge. I have multiple jobs, including being a firefighter and an EMT. So my schedule can be a little hectic at times. I had signed up for the 7 am class because I get off work a few hours before and it just made sense for me to get a workout between work and going home.I had heard great things about Farrell's and thought I would give it a try. I had religiously been going to a fitness boutique around the corner and thought I would mix up my routine.Everyone was great, except one instructor, who decided that it was her job to judge me. I am, by no means, a small person. I have a belly but I've been told I "carry it well". I, however, am fit and strong. I need to be for my occupations, and have to take several fit tests to do what I do.This particular morning, I wasn't going to make it to my morning class because I was out on a call. I was told during orientation that if I wasn't able to make my morning class, I would be able to join the afternoon class. Cool, so I did just that. At the end of the class, I have to get my paper signed by the instructor saying that I had taken their class.When I approached the instructor to give her my paper, I handed her my piece of paper. She saw at the top of the paper I was supposed to be in the 7 am class but was at her class. She then looks me up and down and says "couldn't get out of bed this morning?" With a raised eyebrow.This interaction wasn't joyous, wasn't in a joking manner, and didn't leave me with a good impression. Needless to say, I didn't go back. I did not need to be in an environment where I was going to be judged. Normally, I would be sleeping at this point because I work overnights but I made it a point to get up and workout. If I had worked with this instructor before or had dialogue with her, where she could have gotten away with her snarky comment, maybe I wouldn't have been so sensitive. But we didn't have that repore. Little did she know, I was saving someone's life.The money I had spent on the 10 week challenge was wasted. I went back to my fitness boutique, where the environment was accepting of my hectic schedule.The workouts were great, the partners I got to workout with were great, most of the instructors were nice and helpful. But that one isolated incident was enough to not want to go back.

I just love how this club has no judging. Everyone works at different paces yet we all are giving it all we've got. I find it very heart warming that if your form is wrong others members will stop what they are doing to help. You really feel apart of a team and a community. I can't say enough good things.

This place is the BEST! Highly recommend joining the 10 week challenge. It is worth it. You will meet some great people and have a blast working out. I have been a member since 2014 and I keep coming back. 3 days kickboxing and 3 days resistance training might sound like it could get boring but it doesn't. It's always different and always challenging. Try it out!
