Fitness LLC dba Farrell's Extreme Bodyshaping Elk River 19144 Freeport St NW Elk River, MN 55330 Franchise Owners: Brittany Widman, Zach Zweig Robyn Keller, and Drew Keller General Overview of Farrell's eXtreme Bodysha >�M B.R.E.W. Fitness LLC dba Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping, is a franchised personal training business that helps its patrons build the foundation for a healthy lifestyle through a variety of workouts. Patrons will commit just 45 minutes a day, for six days, during the week. The franchise has a similar layout as the Dojo Karate which is also located in Elk Park Center, but has a very different program which is focused to combat obesity and live a healthy lifestyle. Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping became a franchise in 2007, after several years of amazing transformations led to requests for Farrell's to come to different parts of the country. Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping is looking to improve its reach, transform more people, and to help others realize the dream of owning their own business. Their motto is "living with POWER and PURPOSE". The Farrell's family is made up of real people with real results, from the photos on our website to the owners of every location. Every franchisee was first a student. Farrell's is committed to growing quietly and organically. Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping is a results based fitness program for participants of any age, lifestyle, sex or athletic ability. The program was developed by Lance Farrell — a long-time taekwondo competitor and teacher — specifically to combat obesity and to help people develop healthy lifestyle habits by incorporating the fat- burning, strengthening and endurance building aspects of competitive martial arts training into a course for regular people who aren't interested in sparring or contact drills. In 45 minutes a day, six days a week, Farrell's can help you make real changes in your fitness and overall health. Results are typical with the Farrell's program. In 10 weeks with Farrell's, you will see the eXtreme changes you expect out of your fitness and nutrition commitments. The Farrell's program combines four essential elements needed to make eXtreme changes in your bodyshape: • €Cardiovascular exercise to Burn Fat • €Strength training to Build Muscle • ENutrition plan to help you Eat Healthy • €lnstructors and coaches to keep you encouraged throughout your journey. Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping uses resistance bands when strength training, and kickboxing bags for the cardiovascular workouts. Featured above is Kurtis Berg.
