FXB Bloomington Members Celebrated for Record-Setting $10,000 National Challenge

Nine members from Farrell’s Extreme Bodyshaping Bloomington completed the 2025 National Challenge, an achievement that transcends any made by an individual franchise.

FXB National Challenge

Farrell’s Extreme Bodyshaping (FXB) is a results-driven fitness program that combines kickboxing, strength training, nutrition coaching, and accountability to help members create lasting lifestyle transformations. The FXB National Challenge is a year-long journey in which members commit ten weeks to improving their health, fitness, and overall well-being.

This year, nine members from the Bloomington location completed and submitted their transformations for the National Challenge; an extraordinary accomplishment considering that of the thousands who enter nationwide, only hundreds finish. Even more remarkably, Bloomington produced nine full finishers (a record for a single location), four of the National Challenge finalists, and the 2025 Male Winner. On Saturday, March 14th, this unparalleled representation on the national stage was celebrated with a group fitness session and awards ceremony hosted by Fit Franchise Brands CEO Bryan Klein and FXB Founder/Fit Franchise Brands President Lance Farrell at the FXB Bloomington location.
