Short review: He's great, we took off over 50 lbs and it wasn't hell on earth! And I have been…read moreable to use what he taught me to keep it off for over a year. Long review: This is a review of his one on one training, I believe he now has classes or group training as well. I can't compare Jake to other trainers, he's the first and hopefully only one I'll need. But I have to say he exceeded every expectation I had, not only with his effort but with MY results. I don't normally write reviews but Jake helped change my life for the better, so I felt compelled to get on here and let everybody know. I'm a middle aged professional and was carrying too much extra weight, about 55 lbs over, obviously not real active with a poor diet, with the health problems that went with them. I heard Jake talking about health and exercise on a local radio program and figured I didn't have a lot to lose if I gave his services a try. I had already blown a bunch of money on unused gym memberships, equipment at home, dvds, etc. with no results. I won't go into all the details, everybody's workout will probably be tailored to them, but Jake wasn't really what I expected. He didn't yell at me, didn't stress me out. It was ok if I failed sometimes. He gave me dietary suggestions that I could live with, and always followed up and held me accountable. He doesn't nag, he truly motivates. I think what surprised me the most was that Jake truly seemed to care about my progress/health; he was absolutely delighted with my successes. Not a show, he was so damned genuine. I never felt like I was doing this by myself, it felt like we were doing it together. I don't know if he loves his clients, loves making people healthy, feels like our success is his victory or what. Whatever it is you can tell he loves what he does. I guess going into it I expected that I would be hiring some meathead to yell at me and that I might take off 5 or 10 pounds. What I got instead was somebody that really cared and inspired me to go the distance. I was able to get off my blood pressure meds and enjoy life a lot more. Even though I moved out of the area I still consider Jake "my trainer", still feel like he's on my team, and I check in from time to time so that he knows I'm still walking the walk. If you made it this far in the review it should be painfully obvious that I think you would be hard pressed to find anybody anywhere that can do the fitness coaching thing better than Jake Snowden. Central Arkansas is lucky to have someone of his caliber.

Here's why: Environment: As someone who was fairly new to boxing, going to a non-chain gym was a little intimidating. Even walking in was a little scary! But that feeling didn't last long - within minutes of me walking in I was being helped by instructors and students alike with my wrapping. These are definitely some of the friendliest and most welcoming people I know. Just downright nice people! Quality of workout: Throughout the class (Total Body Fitness) I felt like I was getting personal attention and that - most of all - I was learning how to box safely and with the right technique. The class was also HARD!!!! I am someone who likes fairly intense workouts, and this one left me out of breath and excited to come back. I also love that the gym offers an introductory boxing class for newbies so we can learn the proper form and technique. Price: After attending the first introductory class, I think you get 1-2 classes free. At this point, I've been to 3 total body fitness classes and definitely will be coming back every time I am in town. All in all - I'm sad that I moved to Dallas because now I have to find a place as good as this one! Happy my in-laws live in Little Rock so I have an excuse to come back and box here :).
