    I did the one week trial period which was roughly $30 and you get a pair of boxing gloves. I…read morethoroughly enjoyed my experience, I did a few kickboxing classes, Muay Thai and tried MMA for the first time! They make the whole experience not intimidating for first timers like me and the gym itself was so spacious! The instructors were all very knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely consider coming back again but it was a long drive for me so that one reason why I stopped going. The only recommendation I have is make sure you arrive at least 5 minutes early to all your classes, especially if they are in the afternoon because the parking lot fills up quickly!

    Recently, I completed the 6 week challenge, which gave me the motivation to come back and start…read moreattending classes again. For the challenge we were to attend kickboxing classes 3 times a week. Originally I was signed up for Muay Thai, as I found it to be an interesting art, but after the challenge, I found I enjoyed the kickboxing a lot and signed up for that instead. I was worried about finding time to attend, but they have so many classes on their schedule that I can always find a class that matches my schedule, no matter how much my schedule changes week to week. While I worked the fair, I was able to attend morning classes. When I went back to my normal work schedule they had a class almost every night of the week. The coaches are absolutely phenomenal. Being that there are so many classes, there are also a few coaches, and they all teach their classes differently, while still changing it up from class to class. Not only are you getting a satisfying workout, but you are getting a variety that promises you'll never get bored. As for the people, they are all very friendly. Although I attend classes alone, there is always somebody to practice with. Often we end up pairing up, and if you didn't bring a friend you'll have to make a new friend. I have not had one bad experience with all of the people I have worked with. As great as a place is, if the people aren't friendly, then it basically becomes a chore to attend. I actually find myself looking forward to attending classes and meeting new people. Overall, I would highly recommend taking a look at this gym. The classes are great and flexible; the coaches are knowledgeable and helpful; and the people are extremely friendly. UPDATE 9/11/19- 11 months later and I still find myself getting excited to attend classes everyday. In fact, sometimes I dread holidays or vacations due to the classes I'd have to miss. I've started many hobbies and quit after a month or two because I was bored or just didn't feel like I belonged. Here I feel like everyone is so inclusive and welcoming. I've expanded from kickboxing and Muay Thai into Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and am loving it just as much as the other two. Unfortunately, this does mean I do have to cut back on one of the other two in order to participate, but that's what I get for wanting to try everything. One important thing to note is that The Cellar is not just for the combatants looking to get into the or improve their fighting prowess. Yes, if that is what you're looking for, this place is amazing, but for an average Joe, Jill or whoever, this is a good place to meet new friends and get in a fun workout. P.S. The website is also super slick. I really like that they now have pictures showing which coaches teach which classes.

    I started at Farrell's (FXB) because I was getting depressed at the end of the second Covid winter…read more Thank goodness I did! I've lost so much fat (and gained so much muscle!) There's a 10-week challenge to see who got strongest/lost most weight, and a party at the end, and when my wife and I went, she was so impressed by the changes everyone had made that she joined, too! I've had THREE other friends join since then, and we bought a year's subscription for our employee. It's so easy to make friends there because everyone is going through such an intense experience. The joke is, "No one joins an aerobic kickboxing gym because everything is going perfectly in their life". :-) The other saying I hear is, "People join for the aerobic kickboxing, but stay for the weightlifting." Man, I never ever thought I'd be into weightlifting, but getting strong and gaining muscle (even though I'm in my 50s!) is amazing! The people here are so diverse...gay, straight, trans...no-religion, Muslim, Christian...people in their 20s and people in their 70s(!) I made more friends here in one year than I've made in the 20 years I've lived in St Paul. What a supportive community. It's all group classes, with an instructor and fun music, and it alternates between aerobic kickboxing days (using a bag, not going against another person), and weightlifting days. I had never done either before...and now I love them both! Definitely recommend FXB on Selby Avenue! :-)

Each day the routine is different and unique. The trainers work closely with all of the participants and their enthusiasm is impressive. They motivate the unmotivated and motivate the ones that wants to hit the next level of fitness. Today, having the heart monitor, I took my workout to a new level. This monitor and the TV screen makes you work just a bit harder. For those on a tight budget, this is a great value as the trainers on the floor make the "workout" fun and exciting while improving your hitting and kicking proficiency.

    Can't say enough good things about Profitness--Its one of a kind and a gem! This is a family owned…read moresmall business. Kurt, the owner, and Coach Amy are the kindest, most motivated, and cheerful coaches I have ever met. I received personal training from Amy and also attended group classes led by both coaches as well. Both trainers are kind and approachable--no drill sergeant mentality. They will meet you where you are in your fitness journey. In classes, although it is a group setting both coaches do an amazing job at keeping a pulse on each individual. In group classes, Kurt seemed to be aware of and know each person so though you were in a group setting, it felt like a private session because you got individual attention! The man is a plethora of knowledge in any aspect pertaining to health wellness and fitness! I also appreciated Kurt's generous feedback and recognition if he ever was in the gym or even walking by during a personal training session with Amy. Amy was my personal trainer and I saw her twice weekly. She is hands down the best personal trainer I've ever had and she became a friend over time. Amy is incredibly knowledgeable in strength & mobility as it pertains to fitness. She is always learning new things and setting an example as she challenges herself. It was very motivating to see Amy completing her own workouts in our group classes as well. I appreciated how validating Amy was--if something doesn't feel right or if I was confused or overwhelmed, Amy was right there ready willing and able to coach me through it by explaining, demonstrating, or even encouraging. She gets to know you and your individual needs and your personal goals...knows just how far she can push you safely. I left my sessions feeling empowered and successful. Amy also encouraging you to listen to your body and share any concerns so she can help you find solutions whether it be modifications, additional exercises or stretches. Amy came prepared and had a plan for every single one of my sessions having considered what we accomplished previously, where we are heading, considering recommendations my chiropractor from next door gave her, and investing her own personal time outside of our sessions ahead of time to create the right plan just for me. She planned my individual workout for me and I saw her commitment and dedication in doing the same for every single one of her clients. Her availability and followup were impeccable--only a text away, understanding, and never annoyed, distracted, or too busy. My experience at Profitness with Amy & Kurt has been life changing. These people are genuinely vested in each member and their well-being. Cant say enough good things about Profitness--Invest in yourself and go check them out!!! Their Instagram is full of good stuff as well if you want a sneak peak: @pro_fitness_training

The posted words below was an email I sent towards my final week of the challenge to one of the owner's...I feel my words in it speak so true to how I feel about Mankato Farrell's. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Morning Jacque! You made my happiness for the week! This mornings workout was an ass kicker and I loved it. I became a bit emotional at the end...i was so proud to make it through and i feel so much stronger than where i had began.  I went to bed last night stressing about my up coming week. I want to say I'm so thankful you and Jeremy opened FXB Mankato!  You both have made it welcoming and given the gym an "at home" feel. Looking forward to this last week of the 10 week challenge. Also looking even more forward to beyond the 10 week mark and what's to come! My mornings there is what keeps me positive some days.  I hope everyone shines on Saturday at final testing and really acknowledges all the sweat, heart, and dedication they've put in, specially the two of you! " ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am now currently a Fit member and have continued my journey with Farrell's Mankato.

I have already committed to another year of fitness at Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping and I am looking forward to each challenging and fun workout ahead!
