Highly recommend. I was frustrated not getting the results I wanted gaining too much body fat along with muscle but Brad set me straight on the proper nutrition and exercise balance. He educates and guides in an easy to understand method. I was highly impressed with the diet and exercise guides. I’m now getting the results I want and reenergized and motivated

Brad and his team are wonderful! I have never done an online training program, but I have learned so much and have lost weight since I started with Shaping U 6 months ago! Not only do we get step-by-step workout videos and workout log, but we get a trainer and Brad to contact us on a regular basis. We chat back and forth plus I have weekly check-ins to help me be accountable. Plus clients out in weekly weigh ins and monthly body measurements & pictures There is also another cool things about Shaping U. We get an app to log our eating, have access to A LOT of healthy recipes and we can change out items we don’t like or want. The nutritionist sets up your micros and macros so calorie intake is specific to your needs! I am so happy I joined!

Shaping U was always responsive and listened to me and adjusted my program as needed. The nutrition and fitness program is extremely affordable and worth the money for my health.

Great experience with them! I’m in California and even though we worked together via zoom I had great results. They really know what they’re talking about and doing in regards to the nutrition plan and the workout plan. I was sore in places I didn’t know existed. I lost weight and body fat by following the plans.

I started my journey about a year ago I was looking for someone to help me with getting in shape losing weight and I met Brad. We started working together and I was shocked how much I can actually eat and not feel hungry, but then also losing weight and getting a leaner at the same time. Brad help me with accountability and with balance of what to eat and when to eat it. He checked in, he was punctual and we went through the menu for my meal plan many times to adjust what I like and I did not like. I really enjoyed working with Brad and I highly recommend him as I have been interviewed numerous other trainers and personal nutrition coaches. He is by far the best value and as long as you stick to the plan, and you’re honest, which is probably probably the hardest part, then you will succeed. I ended up losing 20 pounds and decreasing my BMI by 5% and a span of approximately 90 days. I feel much more energetic and healthy. My primary physician even gave me some compliments as to my progress. Truly appreciate your guidance and keeping me on track most of all holding me accountable. Thanks man!

These are exercises like Squats, Bent Over Rows, Lunges, and several Ab type exercises. I make sure they feel comfortable and that they get the best training possible. And of course the best Results possible. Whatever it takes! :)
