Founder and CEO at Farrell's eXtreme Bodyshaping, Inc.
Lance Farrell began his Taekwondo journey under Master Yong Chin Pak while attending Iowa State University in 1980. Two years later, Lance began teaching Taekwondo and opened his first Taekwondo studio. In 1989 and 1991, Lance competed in the U.S. Olympic Sports Festival in Taekwondo and received silver and bronze medals.
After accomplishing his goal of making the Olympic Sports Festival team, Lance moved to Des Moines, Iowa to pursue fitness and martial arts full-time and open his first Farrell’s Martial Arts location. While students continued to transform their bodies, what Lance didn’t expect was the mental and spiritual transformations his students were experiencing. These results inspired Lance to develop the Farrell’s program, incorporating the disciplines of martial arts and the principles of healthy living.
