Shape Health & Fitness — Local services in Sacramento

i have spent the majority of my life as the girl seen, but never really noticed. always the one sneaking out of photos or hiding myself in the back - i was simply a smiling face in the background never any real proof that i was there.

years of self neglect had left me staring at a stranger in the mirror. in january of '13 i knew things had gone too far - however it wasn’t until april that i finally had the courage to step on a scale.

i couldn’t believe what i saw on the scale display! i needed to do something, but what?

i had tried so many diets over the years… Atkins, South Beach, Fat Flush, Cabbage Soup, Master Cleanse, Sensa, Herbalife, Nutrisystem, the list goes on. all worked at first - all failed shortly there after.

something was missing. something wasn’t working.

as i overheard a fellow client at my hair salon talk about her recent success with bariatric surgery i thought to myself, "maybe this is what i need".

i went home & i started where we all start... i goodled. \but something STILL didn’t seem right. it felt like... well... like surgery, for me, would be cheating & taking the easy way out.

i had done this to myself. i had put each of these pounds ON - i need to earn getting each of them OFF. the only way i would ever truly appreciate the weight loss & love myself for it is if i did it the "hard" way.

i started small - eating healthier, walking more, even joined a ladies only gym. i had some progress - but then i plateaued & quickly became bored & frustrated.

i needed more... i needed a professional... someone to guide me thru the process that really understood the science behind the sweat :D i had heard about Vernia Smith, Shape Health & Fitness, thru a mutual associate - so i decided to reach out. by far the best decision i have made in YEARS.

Vernia is the perfect combination of motivation, inspiration, knowledge & dedication. the customized Tri Point System he created for me combines exercise, a nutritious (delicious and easy to follow) meal plan & just the right combination of supplements (there is NO way i would have ever figured those out!).

i have been a remote/internet member of Shape Health & Fitness for under 2 months & not only have i broken thru my horrible plateau, but i have lost another 24lbs! :D in addition to the weight loss, Vernia has helped keep me motivated, interested & excited about my new lifestyle.

i am beyond pleased with what i have accomplished in a short amount of time & for once i am truly looking forward to having new and amazing life experiences - this time with photo proof that i was there!

if you are ready… REALLY ready... then you have FOUND the place! Shape Health & Fitness can give you all the guidance & tools you need - you just have to give them the dedication… oh… and LOTS of...

I HAVE MY HOURGLASS FIGURE AGAIN!

Vernia is an incredible fitness coach who helped me regain my hourglass figure. He is a truly gifted and knowledgeable fitness coach. After slowly gaining weight post-college, I was 35 lbs. heavier and feeling low. Gym’s didn’t work and trainers only knew the machines. I needed structure and proper guidance tailored to my needs.

I started Nutrition coaching with Vernia online, I started eating healthier, losing weight and gaining energy. Check-ins keeps me accountable. 2 months in, I told him my concerns (getting flabby from loosing weight) we incorporated personalized online training sessions.

Shortly after, I started going into the studio to train one-on-one with my coach. Vernia tailored the workouts to target tone and build muscle where I wanted. More than just losing weight, I sculped the fit, hourglass shape I used to have. I gained MUSCLE in the right places!!!

Now in my 40s, I’m in the best shape of my life thanks to my coach expert support. I gained energy, confidence, and a body I absolutely love. I cannot recommend his services highly enough. He provides the knowledge, motivation, and results I need. I’m not falling off the fitness wagon anymore thanks to his ongoing support!

This phenomenal five-star coach delivers real results! I can't recommend Vernia and Ray's training program highly enough. If you're looking to transform your body and health, you absolutely won't regret working with them. Hands down one of the best...

After my son proposed to his now wife, I had 13 months to drop a few pounds. I ended up gaining weight and was left with only 3 months before the wedding. A dear friend shared her experience with Coach Vernia at Shape Health & Fitness. Coach V set up a video call, explained the program and I committed. I was given a meal plan and trained virtually twice a week. I reached “my initial” goal for the wedding. However, during one of the coaching sessions, we talked about where I was physically and where I could/should be. Alright, let’s go! Coach V was professional, stern, yet patient. Often I trained virtually in my work office because it was the only time I had available. I shed pounds of body fat and it was actually easier than any other plan I tried previously.

My company moved to a new building and I could no longer train from work, I thought I’d have to quit. That’s when I was introduced to Coach V’s son, Coach Ray. I trained in studio with weight machines and learned proper technique. I also added heavier dumbells for home training. I not only lost weight, but gained muscle. My energy level was better than ever.

My review may be somewhat long, but I wanted to share “the process”. I highly recommend the program. It’s...
