A story from Kelli, one of our members. It's worth your time. "Five years ago, I was involved in what should have been a deadly flooding incident. I was walking a friend home and as I journeyed back, three bodies of water that surround our home combined with mighty force knocking out the side panels of the shed that was holding all the water back. It just happened to break when I was walking past and the force of the water swept me up and I hit my head. I grabbed onto a tree for dear life. As the water rose I had to keep climbing. When help came, they realized that this was more than they could handle. The water kept rising quickly and panic began to set in. As the evening progressed, there were multiple people stranded and over 150 emergency personnel involved. I found myself repeating things from up in that tree that I had heard from Farrells. I was yelling to everyone involved the following things: you can do anything for 10 seconds...you can do anything you set your mind to...your body is only as strong as your mind...keep pushing...you’re doing this for you. After 6 hours of tree climbing, hypothermia, an ER visit, and a rescue that was nothing short of a miracle, I realized that outside of God’s provision, Farrells saved my life. The mental and physical strength that I had received from Farrells not only saved my life, but also all the others involved as their mental state changed when I was yelling everything that I had learned from the gym. Farrells is more than just a program for weight loss. Farrells is a program that encourages life change mentally and physically. Because I bought into the words that are spoken each day at Farrells, I am still here today."
