Local Man Becomes Over 100 Pounds Lighter and $10,000 Richer

Have you ever wanted to do a fitness program, but thought it sounds like a lot of work? Well it is, but it's totally worth it! Especially after seeing results like Sam Wexler's from Cedar Rapids.

Farrell's has 11 locations in Iowa (three of which are here in Cedar Rapids), and runs what is sort of like its own yearlong version of "The Biggest Loser". Weight loss and fitness are not a competition, but a matter of health and wellness. But who can pass up a challenge? Former high school offensive lineman Wexler decided he was up for it and dropped over 100 pounds! He went from 330 to 202 pounds. He's got a new life and it just so happens Wexler won $10,000 for his hard work getting back in shape. Shedding those pounds definitely paid off for Wexler in more than one way.

If you're looking to take care of your health, Farrell's has programs throughout the year that many say are intense, but totally worth the effort (especially if you could win $10,000 like Sam).

We'll keep you up to date on your next chance to win a free session with Farrell's and your life might change, too.
