Qualifications: Personal Fitness Trainer (PFT) Diploma from Mount Royal College. Over 20 years experience as a personal trainer.
Personal History: I was raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada; the oldest of five girls. My early career revolved around acting, modeling, and singing. I was involved with acting in both television and film. I also modeled for magazines, newspapers, and on many runways. My sisters and I even formed a country band called "Five Sisters." We opened for Billy Dean and we shared stages with Brian Adams, Waylon Jennings, and the Beach Boys. However, when a recording deal in Nashville fell through, I gave up my singing career and came back home to Calgary. Shortly afterwards, my mother died and I sunk into depression. Then, with determination and perseverance, I rebuilt my life one step at a time. I went to college and obtained my personal fitness trainer diploma. Then, I began working with my husband at our two health clubs. That's where I developed my Ripped! programs with the help of an exercise physiologist and physiotherapist.
Workout Philosophy: Take good care of yourself to ensure that you can give your best in everything you do.
Success Story: Karen McGrath from Calgary. She had been exercising 5 days per week for the past 6 years and wasn’t getting any results. She heard about me through Collage Video and decided to hire me as her personal trainer. When Karen first came in, she was very shy and timid. But, within five months, she was down 45 pounds! Not only does she have a renewed sense of confidence, but she has decided to pursue becoming a personal trainer herself! Karen has found her passion in fitness and wants to help others be the best that they can be.

I purchased the Ripped and Chisled video in 2007 and have been loving it ever since. I lost the last 10 lbs this past 6 months strictly using the Ripped and Chisled DVD and Eating Clean. I have never looked or felt better. My goal this summer is to start running to round out my lifestyle. Thank you Jari!!!

One very cool Calgarian
I've been following Jari for the last few years. She's great as an instructor. Her Ripped classes in Calgary has helped me get back into such great shape after my son. With her diet and eating tips, and great attitude my body is in its best shape ever! I love the fact that I'm bikini ready all year round. Not only is she a great instructor, she's got this amazing heart. I can't believe all the good work she's done in our community. Thanks Jari!

An amazing motivator
Jari, I'm not sure if you ever read these but just in case. I wanted to tell you that I love your DVD's. I've read the positive and negative comments. But honestly, using all your DVD's in my rotation helped me shed the pounds and tone up. This summer was the first summer I pranced around the beach in a two piece. Something I hadn't done in nearly 15 years. My girlfriends recommended you and I'm so thankful that they did. Thank you, you are truly amazing. Will you ever hold classes in LA? I'd be the first in line.

Thank you Jari
ladies! She's the real deal. Don't let her image fool you. She may be blonde and beautiful. But she's got this amazing heart. I've taken some of her classes awhile back and I'll be the first to admit that I'm easily one of her biggest fans!! And if anyone knows where she got those pants...please post. I want some too. And thanks to her...I can wear them now.

I love Jari!! =)
I admit, I was very hesitant to try her workouts. I thought they'd be way too hard for me, and leave me feeling like a failure - so I sat in my comfort zone for a while, and tried to convince myself that I was happy with the minimal results I was getting from my other workouts. Well, I finally decided to stop being a sissy, and purchased Slim and Lean, and Ripped to the Core. WOW! Yes, they were intense, and left my arms and legs shaking at times (not to mention aching the next day), but I was able to complete them! Granted, I used smaller weights to being with (5-10 pounds), but I will build up as I get stronger! =) I already see (and feel!) a difference after only a few weeks of adding these into my rotation twice a week. If you are considering buying any of Jari's workouts, but are worried they'll be too tough - just bite the bullet and get one (or five!) Yes, they are tough, but they are completely doable, and you will see amazing results!

Jari not intimidating!
Unlike Cathe and other advanced instructors, I find Jari not intimidating at all. Her demeanor is kind, gentle and very motivating, and her workouts feel almost soothing (even though challenging) because of it.

Love them All
Ripped was a miracle to me because I was over weight and my self-steem was at its low. I started doing the Ripped workouts weekly three times a week and my body started ridding itself of the fat. I am looking better and best of all feeling great. Now it's amazing how people are drawn to learn how I have done it and I am sharing that Jari Love is the best.

Jari LoveA 5-Star Instructor!!
She truly sets the standard for which all other instructors should strive for!! Jari is very educated,knows what she is doing and shares her knowledge with her video users in a clear and understandable manner. Her workouts are perfect for beginner beginners as well as the highly advanced exerciser. You will never outgrow these workouts. Do her workouts 3 times a week and follow a healthy,balanced,portion controlled diet,throw in some cardio workouts on alternate days and there is absolutely NO way you won't lose weight and get into the best shape of your life. Jari is very motivating,is never annoying or over the top,her instruction is flawless. And you just can't beat the value of Jari's workouts,you get alot of workout for your buck and she's worth every penny. I have tried alot of different instructors in my quest to find a weight training program I clicked with,Jari is simply the best!! No dread factor to these workouts at all,these workouts I can stick with!! I hope she continues putting out more Ripped workouts,I personally can't get enough! Thanks,Jari!!
