“A couple of years ago a high-profile client of Franz’s got interested in kettlebell
training. Instead of doing what most trainers would do –wing it Snideman traced
me down and hired me to do a consultation for him and his client. I know very few
trainers who would be confident enough to put themselves in a similar situation.
Since then Franz has been through the RKC course as a student and as an assistant
instructor and he kept impressing. Franz Snideman is a quiet professional. I highly
recommend him.”
-Pavel Tsatsouline, the author of The Russian Kettlebell Challenge
"Yoana Snideman, RKC is a sharp, powerful, and enthusiastic trainer."

“Franz Snideman is a master of his craft. Franz relentlessly studies the best thinking
of the smartest people in fitness. Then, after analyzing the individual needs of
his clients, Franz uses the best ideas form fitness’ best thinkers and designs incredibly
successful programs. These programs rely on the basics: Strength, speed, quickness
and balance. Franz uses the classic tools: Olympic lifting techniques, Russian Kettlebells,
balance and tornado balls, sprinting, and the somersaults and handstands of gymnastics.
In Franz’s hands, these old-style tools become unbelievably effective. As his clients
gain strength and balance, Franz Snideman’s programs continue to evolve, forcing
his clients to evolve as well. Beginning with basic posture and balance, moving
on to classic core strengthening techniques, and then on sprinting drills, Olympic
lifting, Kettlebells and Clubbells, Franz’s programs constantly drive his clients
forward to greater and greater achievement. Franz is an original, and his clients
are fortunate to have the opportunity to work with him.”

To the very fortunate future clients of Franz Snideman,
It has been my distinct pleasure - and a life-altering experience – to be a client
of Franz Snideman. Thanks to his diligent efforts, I now approach my forties in
the best physical condition of my life. I have more energy. I am able to focus more
completely on “matters at hand.” And I enjoy my work and my family more than ever
before.
I attribute this optimistic attitude and salubrious quality to the customized regimen
Franz developed for me. He accommodated my lifestyle and hectic schedule in creating
a disciplined, effective fitness program.
I most heartily recommend the effective services and considerable talents of Franz
Snideman to anyone seriously attempting to make a significant improvement in stamina,
strength, and overall health.

I have been training with Yoana for the past sixteen months and she has changed
my life. I have become both physically and mentally addicted to her workouts. Prior
to meeting Yoana, I had belonged to gyms for most of my life and had worked out
on occasion but could just not connect with any workout program. Then I met Yoana
at Revolution Fitness. Her intensity and compassion for what she does has been beyond
motivating. Yoana always keeps the workouts interesting, whether it is an individual
training session or a class. She is continually pushing me to work harder and I
have enjoyed the constant challenge.
As a busy mother of three young boys, and a part-time clinical psychologist, life
can be stressful. Yoana’s workouts have helped me decrease and manage that stress.
I’ve lost weight and I continue to workout many times a week with Yoana. I have
not been in this good of physical shape since I was a competitive gymnast over twenty
years ago. My overall quality of life has improved immensely and for that I cannot
thank her enough.
Sincerely,
-

Dear Yoana:
Your expertise, knowledge and dedication have been a tremendous influence in the
achievement of my goals. The workout sessions are absolutely wonderful and challenging.
You nutritional guidance and your ability to ensure that we keep on the correct
nutritional plan have been of great help. The most enjoyable part has been the variety
of strength and stretching exercises that you have shown and taught us to master.
I highly recommend that if anyone wants to look and feel their best that they “workout”
with you.
Sincerely,
-

I have been training at Revolution Fitness for over a year. It's a remarkable studio
run by Yoana and Franz - the nicest and most knowledge trainers in the country.
In addition to my personal training sessions, I attend Revolution workout classes
on a regular basis. The classes are small and personalized. My classmates are smart
and interesting people with lots of humor.
One of the best things about Revolution is the personal care given to its clients
by Yoana and Franz. I'm a 56-year old executive with a heart condition and who travels
more than 100,000 mile a year. Yoana is constantly adjusting my exercise and nutrition
programs to ensure I get the most out of each workout. Not only do I have more strength,
I've significantly improved my balance and coordination. Best of all, I'm no longer
arriving home exhausted from a business trip, instead, I'm happy to go out and participate
in activities with my wife, children and friends. I couldn't ask for more.

I was training with another personal trainer before I began training with Yoana.
I did not feel that the training I received from the other trainer was personalized
or challenging for me. Yoana is Smart and Professional and has designed programs
for me that are Challenging, Innovative, and Cutting Edge. More over, she is constantly
changing my programs so that I am achieving the GREATEST benefits.
If you want to get in the BEST Shape of your life and have a Good Time doing it,
I strongly recommend her!!

Yoana, Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you AGAIN, how much I hate exercising!
My mission is to remind you of that every time I see you!
As you know my daughters have been after me for a long time to get into shape and
they knew that their only chance of me cooperating in any way is to find someone
that will motivate me. I must say, they hit the target on the mark when they suggested
I work out with you. I thing you know by now that the only reason I have lasted
this long (as short as it might be) is because you are a great motivator and terrific
in your profession. For me, what is even more important is how personal you get
in listening to my “getting into shape” needs and how accommodating you are to my
unpredictable schedule.
The last thing that you do that speaks volumes on you training ability is how you
fine ttune each move I make and just when I really start feeling the value of the
exercise(pain) is when you say, now that ‘s better. How do you know that?
Looking forward to another class (as much as I hate it).

Hi Franz!
I just wanted to say thank you! Isabella was born 2 weeks early and she wasn’t as
happy a baby as Joe, who was two weeks late. If this baby had been born as early
it would have come last Tuesday. Each day a baby is born early it misses out on
so much and I really didn’t want to have this baby as early as I had Bella. So far
this baby has had six extra days inside and I feel so much more comfortable and
strong at this point in my pregnancy than I did last time. That’s all about the
girdle of iron you built me. It is holding both me and the baby up so well! So this
is “Extra day #6” for this pregnancy and I owe all six of them to you.
Thank You!

are getting the best training available. Anyone who wants to change their life should

"I have to tell you that I try to stay as fit as possible here; working out 4+ times
a week, eating well, etc. But I honestly have lost a lot of dynamic strength compared
to when I was lifting twice a week for half an hour each session with you. The results
one gets from the hi-tech equipment with specialy designed grip and what not (here
in Michigan), hardly compares to the results one gets from using simple, yet genious
equipment like back in San Diego, like a tractor tire. I'll need quite a bit of
shaping when I come back home, and can't wait to do so.
