Farrell’s eXtreme Bodyshaping currently costs about $399 to $499 for its initial 10-Week Challenge at locations with public 2026 pricing. Cedar Rapids lists the program at $449, Springfield lists $499, and Bloomington lists a regular price of $499 with a current promotional price of $399.

The 10-week program is built around 60 scheduled instructor-led kickboxing and strength-training classes, nutrition coaching, accountability support, and progress evaluations. Some locations include boxing gloves, wraps, a student manual, or eligibility for a local challenge prize. Ongoing membership prices after the challenge are set locally and are not published as one nationwide monthly Farrell’s rate.

For someone who attends all 60 scheduled classes, a $449 challenge works out to about $7.48 per class. Attend only 30 classes and the effective cost doubles to about $14.97 per class. Attendance is one of the biggest factors in whether the program is good value for a particular member.

Article Highlights

• Current public 10-Week Challenge prices range from $399 to $499 (at $30 per hour, earning that amount would take about 1.7 to 2.1 full-time workdays, before taxes) in the locations checked.
• Cedar Rapids currently lists $449 and includes 60 classes, nutrition coaching, gloves and wraps, a student manual, and three fitness evaluations.
• Springfield lists $499 for new participants and $299 for eligible returning members.
• Bloomington lists $499 regular pricing, a current $399 promotional rate, and $275 for eligible former members.
• The standard schedule is six 45-minute classes per week for 10 weeks, or 60 scheduled classes.
• Ongoing FIT, unlimited, twice-weekly, virtual, and class-pack options can vary by franchise, so there is no reliable national monthly Farrell’s price.

The Cedar Rapids membership page currently lists its 10-Week Challenge at $449. The package includes instructor-led group training, 60 kickboxing and strength classes, boxing gloves and wraps, nutrition coaching, a student manual, team and coach support, three fitness evaluations, before-and-after photos, and eligibility for the location’s challenge prize.

The Springfield location lists $499 for the 10-Week Challenge and $299 for eligible returning members. Its published package includes the same 60-class training structure, nutrition coaching, support, three evaluations, photos, and prize eligibility.

Bloomington currently shows the largest public discount among these examples. Its 10-Week Challenge price is $499, with a displayed $399 promotion using code SAVE100. Eligible former members are shown a $275 returning-member rate. Temporary promotions can expire, so the checkout price matters more than an older advertised rate.

What You’re Actually Paying For

Farrell’s is closer to a structured group-coaching program than a conventional open-floor gym membership. The corporate fitness program description sets out a six-day weekly schedule with 45-minute classes. Kickboxing is held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday focuses on lower-body strength, Thursday on upper-body strength, and Saturday on total-body strength.

Across 10 weeks, six scheduled classes per week produces 60 classes. At 45 minutes each, that represents 45 hours of scheduled instructor-led training. A member paying $449 (about 1.9 full-time workdays at $30 per hour) and attending every class is paying about $9.98 per scheduled training hour.

The challenge also includes a nutrition component. Farrell’s current nutrition program describes 10 weeks of meal-plan guidance, meal-preparation strategies, portion tracking, food logs, and coaching. Its FIT Plus option adds more individualized support from a dedicated nutrition coach. Nutrition coaching should not be confused with medical nutrition therapy or treatment for a health condition.

The Hidden Price: Missed Classes

The challenge price does not become cheaper when a member attends less often. That makes attendance the clearest hidden cost.

Using the current Cedar Rapids $449 price:

• 60 classes attended: $449 ÷ 60 = $7.48 per class
• 45 classes attended: $449 ÷ 45 = $9.98 per class
• 30 classes attended: $449 ÷ 30 = $14.97 per class
• 20 classes attended: $449 ÷ 20 = $22.45 per class

The same issue applies at the $499 locations. Sixty attended classes work out to $8.32 each, while 30 attended classes work out to $16.63 each.

Several current location pages label the challenge purchase non-refundable. Before paying, ask the local studio how missed classes, injuries, pauses, schedule conflicts, transfers, and cancellations are handled. Do not assume the rules are identical across every franchise.

What Does the $449 Program Buy?

Consider someone who purchases the Cedar Rapids challenge for $449 and attends five of the six scheduled classes each week. Over 10 weeks, that is 50 attended classes.

The effective class price is $449 ÷ 50 = $8.98. Fifty 45-minute sessions equal 37.5 hours of attended instruction, putting the program at about $11.97 per attended training hour.

If the same member attends all 60 classes, the effective class rate falls to $7.48. Missing 10 classes so raises the effective rate by $1.50 per class. The membership itself has not become more expensive. The amount of the purchased program actually used has fallen.

What Happens After the 10-Week Challenge?

Farrell’s offers ongoing membership formats, but the structure and price are not uniform enough to publish one credible national monthly figure. One current example is the Colorado Springs membership menu, which offers twice-a-week training, the 10-week challenge, unlimited access, class packs, and virtual-only training. The page asks prospective members to request pricing rather than displaying one chain-wide monthly rate.

This is why a quoted $99, $149, or $199 per month from an older Farrell’s article should not be treated as the current national membership price. Ask the local studio for the post-challenge rate, billing frequency, minimum term, cancellation notice, freeze rules, and any annual or administrative charges before treating the 10-week fee as the full first-year cost.

Returning-member challenge rates can also be much lower than first-time prices. Springfield’s current $299 returning rate is $200 below its $499 new-member price. Bloomington’s $275 returning rate is $224 below its regular $499 price. Those rates have eligibility restrictions and are not substitutes for a published ongoing membership price.

Farrell’s vs a Gym

A Farrell’s challenge is much more expensive than basic gym access. Planet Fitness, for comparison, said in its July 2026 membership disclosure that Classic memberships begin at $15 per month and Black Card memberships at $24.99 per month, with an annual fee of up to $59 and location-specific terms.

That is not an apples-to-apples substitute. A low-cost gym primarily sells facility and equipment access. Farrell’s 10-Week Challenge sells a defined class schedule, instructor-led kickboxing and strength work, nutrition guidance, evaluations, and accountability.

For a closer group-fitness comparison, current Orangetheory membership costs show how another coached studio prices limited-class and unlimited plans by location. Someone deciding between group coaching and individual attention can also compare the cost of a personal fitness trainer, where one-on-one sessions can cost substantially more per workout.

Three Farrell’s Buyer Scenarios

High-attendance first-time member: pays $449, attends all 60 scheduled classes, and uses the coaching and evaluations. The effective training price is $7.48 per class, which makes the upfront fee easier to justify than the sticker price alone suggests.

Busy member who attends half the sessions: pays the same $449 but attends 30 classes. The effective rate becomes $14.97 per class. If schedule conflicts are predictable before enrollment, a twice-weekly plan or class pack at a location that offers one may fit better.

Promotion-focused shopper: joins Bloomington at its displayed $399 promotional rate and attends all 60 classes. The calculated cost is $6.65 per class, which is $1.67 less per attended class than Springfield’s $499 challenge when both members attend all 60 sessions.

When Farrell’s Makes Sense

Makes sense if:

• You can realistically attend four to six scheduled classes most weeks.
• You want instructor-led kickboxing and strength training rather than unsupervised gym access.
• Accountability, nutrition guidance, and scheduled evaluations are services you will actually use.
• The local class times fit your work and family schedule before you pay the challenge fee.

Does not make sense if:

• You mainly want inexpensive access to cardio and strength equipment.
• You expect to miss a large share of the 60 scheduled classes.
• You are assuming the 10-week price includes a full year of ongoing membership.
• You are relying on an old nationwide discount, financing, personal-training, or supplement price that your local franchise has not confirmed in writing.

Members comparing Farrell’s with a more traditional multi-amenity club can look at current Wisconsin Athletic Club membership costs. The comparison is useful because a full-service athletic club sells facility access and amenities, while Farrell’s concentrates more of the price into scheduled instruction and coaching.
