Meet Nextfit Trainer Jari Love

Jari Love is a certified personal trainer and the creator of Get RIPPED!  the multiphase, no-nonsense fully body workout system designed to help people of any fitness level shed unwanted pounds in just weeks.  Jari has just recently filmed four new workouts that will add to her product line. The hot-selling and critically acclaimed Get RIPPED!series enables individuals to burn up to three times more calories than the traditional weight-training program, and has received rave reviews from fitness critics throughout North America since the first title debuted in late 2005.
After many years as a recording artist, model and actor, Jari Love obtained her Personal Fitness Trainer (PFT) certification and began working with clients as a personal trainer.  A competitive runner since her teens, health and fitness has always been central to Jari’s life.  However, with increasing responsibilities over time she had fewer hours to devote to training, so she used her knowledge of physiology to create Get RIPPED!, a results-oriented workout for the busy parent and business person whose goal is to maintain peak fitness. Jari named this 5-phase program Get RIPPED! after the weight-lifting term meaning increased muscle and decreased body fat. After many of her personal clients were able to meet lifelong fitness goals as a result of doing the program, Jari decided that it was possible to develop group fitness classes based on the same concepts.

Meet Nextfit Trainer Desiree Summers

Born and raised in Athens, GA, Desiree is an accomplished jazz, ballet and theatre performer and also skilled in voice and tap. At age ten, Desiree auditioned for “The Nutcracker” and won the leading role as Mary with the Atlanta Ballet. A childhood pastime blossomed in the following years into an intense desire to advance her skills and pursue the performing arts as a career.

Desiree Summers received a Bachelor of Arts in Fine Arts from the Oklahoma City University. She enjoyed studying and training under the leadership of director and founder of the American Spirit Dance Company, and nationally known master ballet teacher and performer, Jo Rowan and where Desiree won awards and dance Scholarships at OCU. 

During college, Desiree was being prepared for a career in the entertainment industry, and radiated in the spotlight. Work and play were one in the same, and within no time, her off-Broadway credits ranged from “Guys and Dolls”, “Oklahoma”, “Grease”, “Chorus Line”, “Camelot”, “Hello Dolly”, and “Cinderella”. 

With the pressures of maintaining a petite dance figure, Desiree’s aspiration for perfection led her into a delicate situation, which led to hospitalization. Analyzing her anxieties and motives allowed her to pick up the pieces and come back even stronger and more inspired. She came to terms with her own weight and eating disorders, and realized that millions of women were going through the same thing, whether it is anorexia or obesity. She became determined to commit her life to health and fitness and thus “Vessel Fitness” was born.
