I've been an instructor at Farrell's for about 10 years. I have my ACE Group Fitness certification as well as the FXB level ll certification. What I love most about FXB is belonging to a group with common goals that provide support and accountability for each other.
Fun Fact: Love roller coasters, scary (not gory) movies, and country music and I was a member of Gamma Phi Circus at ISU.

I love spending time with my family, running, sewing, and all sports!
Fun Fact: I was a cheerleader in college and was given the opportunity to cheer at the ProBowl in Hawaii.

My name is Tina Irey I am currently a Kickboxing Instructor, Resistance Training Instructor, and Coach. I made my mark in the fitness industry in 2007. I have ran multiple gyms in the Chicago and surrounding areas. In 2022 I found my way to Farrell’s eXTREME BODYSHAPING in Bloomington Illinois. I have changed and grown so much since walking through those doors.

FXB is a family. Members genuinely care for one another. Every class is challenging and the instructors are very encouraging. Being an instructor helps me stay committed to my fitness. It also allows me the opportunity to help others transform their wellness and lives making exercise a daily routine. Lastly, my instructor role contributes to the future growth of the gym.
Fun fact: Many people recognize me as the red headed gal who officiates track and cross country meets. I have been an official for 15 years.

I've been an instructor at Farrell's for over 11 years. What I love most about being involved at FXB is encouraging members to lead healthy lives. I love to run and workout a lot. I want to inspire people to believe that age is just a number. I have two adult children - a son and a daughter. I’m older than I look.
Fun Fact: I was born in Canada to Filipino parents.

INSTRUCTOR
I'm really passionate about group fitness in general for it's mental and physical benefits. FXB is my favorite because the format offers a great support/accountability system of peers and the structure of the 10-week program makes it so that we can build up skills from scratch for the new members at the same time as resetting & honing in skills for FIT members.
Fun Fact: I have 3 cats (Cloak, Dagger, & Raven) and about a thousand house plants I'm unapologetically obsessed with

INSTRUCTOR
Although I originally joined this gym in hopes of finding a new way to add fitness in my life, I have gained much more than improved physical health. The community of friends that I have at FXB challenge me to better myself every day. I would not be an instructor at FXB without all of their encouragement and support. I moved to the Bloomington area shortly before starting at FXB, and the FXB community has truly made this area feel like home!
Fun Fact: I've run 6 half marathons over the last several years across several states - hoping for more soon!

I've been an instructor at Farrell's for about 2 years. What I like most about being involved at FXB is the intensity. After college, I thought I wouldn't be involved in high-intensity physical training. Farrells provides the challenging exercise I am looking for. Outside of FXB, I like to do yoga, hang out .
Fun Fact: I have a degree in Food, Nutrition, and Dietetics.

My name is Brenda Taylor. I’m a Level 2 instructor at FXB, having joined in January, 2014. After having been given the honor of placing in the top 10 in the National Challenge, I was inspired by the owner, manager and instructors to join the instructor team in 2015. I enjoy being able to give back when welcoming new members into our family. Outside of the gym, I drive shuttle for Sam Leman Ford, and playing with my puppies, Honey and Teddy.

What I like most about FXB are the relationships you build and the motivating classes. Outside of the gym I am busy watching my children's sporting events and activities with my husband. My fun fact is I went skydiving when I was 18 years old!
