I have been with Vernia for a month now and am very pleased with the effectiveness his program. For the first time in my life, I actually feel as though I will be able to attain my ultimate weight loss goal, which I have never been able to do on my own. Having someone to motivate and guide you makes a huge difference.

I am a current client and have been a client of Shape Health & Fitness for the past 6 months. I am a 55 year old male with no previous weight training. I weighed 198 pounds and stand 5' 9". After four months I went from a 38 inch waist to a 32 inch waist and weighed 166 pounds. I still have a 32 inch wasit and now weight 170 pounds, as a result of the added muscule form my four days a week weight training program. Without a doubt I would recommend Shape Health & Fitness to any one whether you just want to drop a few extra pounds or want to sculpt your body.

I discovered Shape Health & Fitness in May 07. At that time, I was a 51 year old womand who weighed 198 pounds. I had tried everything to lose weight and get back in shape. I tried other gyms, other trainers who managed to injure me with their "expertise". At my very first consultation, Vernia Smith (call him "V") came through as confident and knowledgeable and gave me confidence I would succeed with him. Using a program of cardio training and weight training, now, 14 months later, I have lost 65 pounds, have gone from a size 18 to a size 4 (sometimes a 2). He has truly changed my life! I could not have found a better, more positive, enthusiastic, supportive trainer. I have knee, wrist and should injuries, but throughout our time together, V has been able to modify my routines to accomodate these injuries and still get great results! His knowledge of the body, weight training, nutrition, and supplements combine to give you the best guidance possible and get great results. If you are in shape and want to get better, he's the one. If you are overweight and out of shape, he's definitely the one!!

I have lost 30 lbs and gained muscle and confidence. I have not felt this good in years. V works with what you have and pushes you but not beyond your limits. Thanks!

I have been working with V for over 11 months now. I came to Shape after trying and not getting results at Curves, Jenny Craig, and others. I was 205lbs and have now lost over 60lbs. I truly feel as if V saved my life. The motivational support along with the meal planning is what made the biggest difference and helped me get results. My self esteem is up and I feel like I have my life back.

I find it funny that anyone could have a negative experience at Shape. When I started with V 11 months ago, I weighed in at 305 lbs. I was too embarrassed to go to a conventional gym and really appreciated the privacy Shape provided. V worked with my physician to create my meal plan and workout program. I have found V to be reputable and experienced. With his help, I have lost 75 lbs. and gained a lot of confidence. To each his own, but I would definitely recommend Shape and encourage any potential clients to do their own research. Tell them Big John sent you!

Can you take a bath in Tiger Balm? I've been working out with Vernia here for the last few weeks and I am feeling it. It is a really good training studio and I think I'll be ready for summer this year...finally.

I just started going to see Vernia here on recommendation of a friend and am really happy I checked it out. He is straight forward about what is realistic and is super supportive about helping you get to your goals. It is almost like having a really cool coach instead of a trainer. He set up a diet and supplement regime for me just for being a client. My last trainer charged me extra for anything other than working out. This place is worth looking into if you are really trying to get in shape.

Exhausting? Hell yes. Worth it? Hell yes. By the time I am done with my work out, I am super thankful for the cold smoothie and the hot tub.

I couldn't tell if I was at a spa or a personal training studio. This made me happy from the start. My trainer Vernia Smith is really experienced and has helped me lose some weight for summer already. I love the protein shakes and the awesome slate shower.

40 came pretty hard and fast...so did the pounds. I have been working with V for 14 months now and I look like a new man. I shed pounds quickly and am now building the right kind of pounds. I have definition and shape that I haven't had since I was in high school. My wife loves it, I love it, and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

I would give Shape a 5 star rating if Yahoo would let me. Vernia Smith is the best thing that has happened to me in years. I have lost 45 pounds in the last six months thanks to his constant encouragement and support. His knowledge of supplements and diet have made all of the difference between the experiece I have had here versus any other training facility. His studio is beautiful and state of the art. The custom protein shakes are worth all of the hard work. Ask him for a Reese's cup flavor protein shake and tell him Renee sent you!
