Kyle Snyder

My name is Kyle Snyder and I’m from Cañon City, Colorado. Multi-sport athlete growing up, but transitioned to only soccer throughout high school as well as played two years of college at Otero Jr. College until receiving my associate of arts degree in 2014. Transferred to CSU-Pueblo where I obtained my bachelors in Exercise Science, then shortly after that I became certified in personal training through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. I’m in the hunt for more certs such as the CSCS and nutrition. I’ve also pursued music for most of my life and have been drumming, both live and studio work, for 13 years. Feel free to come in and talk music with me also!

Healthy living is imperative to longevity and overall well-being, and it all starts here. The moment you commit to the exercise lifestyle is the moment your body thanks you whole heartedly. We’re not built to be sedentary people. Exercise is the number one combatant for several of the top fatal diseases such as coronary artery disease and various cancers. Now whether you need guidance, motivation, accountability, or any other need, is up to you. That’s where us trainers come in. Everyone’s body is built and works differently; you’ll notice that a certain regimen that works for someone may not work for you. As personal trainers, we are health/fitness professionals who use an individualized approach to assess, motivate, educate, and train clients regarding their health and fitness needs.

Shortly put, we are here to find what works for you, and help your goals become accomplished feats of the past. If you feel the need, please stop in and speak with myself or another trainer to get the ball rolling. We’re looking forward to it!  

Janique Rizer

My name is Janique Rizer. Fitness is not something I aspired to at a young age. I fell into it when it became essential for my health. Now I LOVE IT and find my heart is in keeping people healthy. Many years ago, I taught kickboxing at Captain Sam's as a part-time profession. Five years ago, I found myself in need of a job and decided that I really wanted to be a Silver Sneakers instructor. I did what was necessary to begin teaching and found my passion! I love the Sneakers and feel like together we are achieving better health and well-being. As I became more involved with fitness, I wanted to expand into Personal Training. Working primarily with seniors, or those with limitations, I find a great deal of satisfaction in this area as well. I was also recruited for water instruction and found myself teaching several of those classes. Now that I have found my passion, I love coming to "work" and I look forward to seeing each of you everyday! Fitness also carries into my life outside of work. I have run several 5K's this summer and even climbed the Manitou Incline. Twenty years ago, I would never have expected my life to be what it is now.. but I'm so glad it is!
