Strength Training

Farrell's low-impact strength training classes will help you rebalance your body composition. You’ll make strong, lean muscles—working your whole body throughout the week. Our strength training classes take turns between upper and lower body days to have adequate time for muscle groups to recover and build.

You don’t need fancy weight machines to get good results. Resistance bands are the central piece of equipment used at Farrell's and give the same benefits of weights, but with less impact. Bands are very effective for working muscles, and they make it easy to change resistance for all fitness levels. We provide bands in a range of resistances, so you can adjust the intensity of your workout by giving the bands more or less resistance.

For those wanting a little more variation, we also have dumbbells. Another fantastic way to build muscle during your instructor-led strength training classes, dumbbells can be used in place of resistance bands for specific exercises or in combination with resistance bands for a challenge, which our FIT members like!

You’ll also use medicine balls for our ab workouts on lower body day and even during interval recovery periods during fitness kickboxing.

Farrell's strength training instructors guide you through paced workouts that exhaust the muscles using a blend of compound and isolated exercises. To keep your muscles guessing and to melt away those inches and build muscle, instructors equalize classes by changing up repetition and resistance.

Need adjustments? No problem! Our instructors can modify any exercise to meet your needs.
