SNF Fitness is a one of a kind Personal Training &Strength Studio located in Quincy, MA. Our first physical location has been open to the public for just over 4 months now. Though our Studio, space, resources, gear, and pics/vids may look EXTREME (and yes, quite frankly theyare!), the people that come to Train with us are NOT just ‘crossfitter’ looking crazies. Our Client base includes people of ALL shapes, sizes, ages, activity levels, and fitness levels. Our youngest Client on our active roster is just 23 yearsold, and our oldest is 75! EVERYONE feels comfortable, confident, and ‘fits right in’ with what we do here. Take a peek through this Vid that shows 19 of our Clients I was able to catch on short notice to tell us how long they’ve been with us, and what they like about SNF Fitness. As you can see, EVERYONE ‘fits right in’ at our Studio!

A few of the many notes in various forms  I’ve received from Clients….this REALLY makes my day to receive these

Hey Steve –

Sorry – this work thing is getting in the way of email catch-up and other important things!

Thanks for following up regarding the training – I really appreciate it!  I like
Jose a lot – I feel like I’m getting a good workout and he is working with my
and very much paying attention to my goals and working toward them.  He
also is working on future goals and strategies (like training for a little more
strength/muscle definition which I’m really on board for) and discussing a plan
for that.

He really is good about listening to me and pointing out when I don’t have correct
form.  My shoulder for the last couple of sessions has been wicked
bothering me and he really quickly narrowed down what the problem was (I’m
having a tough time with the pushing kinda motion on the right side).
When I attempt to do some push motions with my arms up (like a pushup on the
bar bell – when I bring my chest to the bar) the right shoulder isn’t
happy).   He was really good about diagnosing that and we’re giving
it a bit of a rest to recoup while working it in other directions.  (Sorry
so long winded – hard to explain.  Hence my delayed reply, I wanted to put
some thought into it!).

Survey says:  Jose is doing excellent.  Fun to work out with (the time goes
fast), challenging workouts and he knows his stuff!

Thanks again Steve for asking!

[A nice note from one of Marvin's long term Clients, Cole]

I wanted to pass along my appreciation for the great work you and your team have done with me over the last 18 months.

In particular, working with Marvin has stepped up my success to a whole new level.

As a 45 year old guy, I had really let myself go over the years. I was skeptical when I first started working out, but the idea of 1-on-1 training seemed perfect for me.

Now, I can see and feel the difference. I’m losing weight and gaining strength at the same time. I was amazed at the progress at my last evaluation.

Perhaps most importantly, you’ve made me feel like part of a family. You’ve helped motivate me to WANT to work harder, and that’s made all the difference.

Thanks again.

Cole

 [A detailed, and very thoughtful Testimonial from one of my HARDEST working Clients to date]
Hi Steve,
 
I know I already texted you the results, but I wanted to drop you a note to formally THANK you for getting me to this point. After putting on so much weight in my late 20s, I really wasn’t sure I would be able to get my ass in gear.  After our first session – even though I knew I was in good hands – I really wasn’t sure if I could ever get to a decent level of fitness.  The first few weeks of our training were brutal for me – both mentally and physically.  I was always sore, and I hated exercising.  I had more self-doubt than I let anyone know.  The runs at Wollaston beach were a harsh reality check.   I was not able to just bounce back into physical activity like I did when I was younger. I was so pissed at myself for being in such poor shape. 

Anyway – it has been about 6 months since I started training (even though I did take about a month off in January), and today was a testament to not only my ability to excel physically, but also to your talent as a trainer and coach.  It was only a few months ago when I couldn’t even run 2 minutes straight.  I couldn’t do a single push-up or leg lift.  Today, I passed an important test.  14 out of 40 recruits FAILED.  Although this wasn’t the most difficult test, I would not have passed it months ago.  I seriously owe it to the support and guidance that you have given me over the last six months.  I went into the test today with confidence.  Although you are definitely a hard ass at times, it is evident that you genuinely care about your clients – as well as the goals of your clients.  You also really know what you are doing.  Making me run up hills with medicine balls and jump over cement barriers not only helped me physically – it helped me mentally.  In addition to losing weight, over the last six months, I have developed confidence in my athletic ability.  Also, I actually like working out now and challenging myself.  Thanks again.
 
Anyway, I am glad the test is over – but this just means that I need to ramp it up for the academy. I still don’t know when it is – but I am guessing about a month or so. I need to keep losing weight and continue get my endurance up.  The test was just the beginning.  I would like to start Saturdays on April 2nd .  I should be able to do the 9th and 16th – but that could change. Either way, I will make sure I get a third session in.   I am keeping the Tuesday/Sunday session with Joanne because it seems to be working out well for me.  
 
Let me know what works for you for Saturday the 2nd.
 
Thanks again!
-Sabrina
[Text exchanges w/ Jeana - an already VERY in shape Gal who came to me to Train, and Train HARD for the Tough Mudder!]

After we finished Training, before the race:

“To the best Trainer ever: thank you for all your hard work, support, and dedication to me & my tough mudder adventure! Cheers to lots of sweating, wimpering & laughing! XO, Cake ;) “

me: “Awww…too sweet Cake ;) “

“It’s true. Jeana + training with snf + tough mudder = winning! “

me: “Seems like a good calculation to me ;) “

Post Race:

“Good morning Steve! I killed the tough mudder! Was tuff and so much freaking fun! 4 15ft walls were most challenging for me followed by cold freaking river that took my breath away! Running up and down mud fields was an absolute blast!!! :) I didn’t cramp at all during the race, but a little sore now. FYI u trained me well! K done w/ my texting novel. Have a good one! :) “
[A GREAT detailed Testimonial from one of my best Clients! Victor.]

My whole life I have been what you would consider skinny…I am one of those people who can eat and eat and never get fat. While that often is seen as a positive, it is EXTREMELY hard for me to gain muscle weight as well. I weighed 140lbs my whole adult life…if overweight people can be ‘fad dieters’ I was definitely a ‘fad exerciser.’ I had been working out with gym trainers, I did P90X, I tried everything to gain some muscle weight to no avail. Almost all of these workouts promised this or that and none delivered results. I had even been told by a trainer at a gym that it was impossible to gain more than five pounds of muscle in a year.

I met with Steve in late June 2009 and worked with him to late September 2009. In those three months I didn’t work out any more than I was used to…I slightly tweaked my eating habits per his recommendation, did EXACTLY as he instructed both during our Sessions and on my “off days,” and at the end of my time with Steve I gained 10 solid pounds of muscle…no crazy expensive supplements or other questionable methods required, just hard work and dedication. So what did Steve do that no one else had done? I would love to say he had some crazy solution that will revolutionize fitness, but all he did was listen to my past issues, and designed a custom plan for me to gain weight and pushed me to reach my goals. That is it, that is why the gimmicks and the fad exercise plans do not work for everyone, because everyone’s body is different. If you want serious results you need a smart tenacious Trainer in your corner, you are not going to find it in a chain gym where they work for commission…all you are is another paycheck who has no idea that they are not really doing anything different with you that they do with all their clients. You are not going to find it pre-packaged fitness plans that are designed for the masses. You need Steve. If you have been waffling about the commitment or the cost then think about it this way….you can spend thousands (like I did) on gimmicks, or you can get serious and hire the solution to your problem…Steve at SNF Fitness.

[Another card received from a Client of mine that I will no longer be Training at my Norwood Gym]

Steve,

I’m going to miss you! I really enjoyed and definitely benefitted from you excellent training! From a  size 10 to a size 6! I may even buy a bikini! (NOT)

Thanks again!

[A card I received from a Client who's off to Graduate School and will no longer be Training with me  - by: Mona D]

Dear Steve,

Hey, just wanted to say thinks for all the time and effort spent on training me. You were great, and lots of fun. I love how you incorporated cardio and always did different things (never a dull moment!!) Best of luck to you in your business. I’ll miss you!

Sincerely,

Mona D.

[A note from Scotty]

Steve provides an aggressive training program customized for the user’s fitness level and goals. I travel regularly and Steve was able to provide several additional programs which I was able to use to supplement our weekly to bi-weekly workouts. Steve also regularly changes up the workout program to continue to challenge me and turbo-charge results.

I highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to either get back in shape or reach the next level of their fitness goals.

[A note from Olivia]

I started training with Steve only a few weeks ago and already I see big improvements in my body but especially in my target areas. Not only am I noticing incredible results appearance-wise, I physically feel as though I’m in much better shape, as my body strength and endurance have increased. I am now able to do about twice as many push-ups, squats and lunges than I was able to do before training with SNF Fitness. When I sweat, I know it’s due to a good workout and when I leave Steve, I’m drenched! I have already recommended him to my close friends and family members and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend him to a stranger. Thank you SNF Fitness!

[A note from Eileen, one of my first Clients! ]

Steve is awesome! I hired him to get me in shape for an upcoming vacation and he delivered. His workouts were tough (but not over the top), he pushed me when I needed it (also without being over the top), and I am so pleased with the results. Steve is professional and I would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to loose weight or just tone up.
