RE:Farrells vs kosama

What was the consensus on this?  I am curious myself.  I walked into a Farrells yesterday to get the paperwork and it looked like a regular aerobics class, I was slightly put off by that.  Makes me think I should just do a bunch of classes at the Y but I guess they don't hold you accountable there!

I haven't done either, but one of the moms at Cohen's daycare has done both and prefers Kosama. More flexibility and variety.

I don't know that there's a consensus - I opted for Kosama because of the price and the variety, and I heard more first-hand experiences from others.  You'll hear others rave about Farrell's.  There's also a "Goals in Motion" in Des Moines that a friend of mine from college did, and she's a walking advertisement for them.  She looks great, and raves about the experience.

The "aerobics" part you saw was the warm-up.  That's what they have you do before you get the bags out.  I did Farrell's and loved it!  My sister has done both and loves them both.  Either way you will love it!

I'm still on the fence.  Are you going to do the Farrells at Beaver?  That's the one I'll be going to unless I go with Kosama in which I'll be in WDM.  I'm leaning towards the 745pm class at Farrells....

You probably saw the resistance/bands training. That's on T, TH, Sat. The kickboxing is MWF

 I can send you an email with a bunch of info/personal opinion on Farrell's that I just sent to shea77. Just send me an email!

Goals in motion is the best!!!! I lost 20 lbs in 9 weeks after Michael was born and got into awesome shape!! ....and then I got pregnant again. it is cheaper and you have a ton of support with a food coach and healthy eating classes.

I'm currently doing Kosama in Ames and I love it!  They have something different each day so you don't get bored doing the same thing over and over.  I've never done Farrell's though so I can't do a comparison.  Below is the typical Kosama schedule.

 Monday- Upper Body

Tuesday-Plyometrics (kick your azz cardio)

Wednesday- Kettlebell

Thursday-Kickboxing

Friday-Lower Body or circuts 

Saturday- Yoga
