If you are looking for a phenomenal, experienced and motiving personal trainer, then Coach Vernia Smith is for you!!! But if you are not ready to put in WORK...then keep it pushing! At 415 lbs., I came to him in the worst physical shape of my life, you name it, I was suffering from it. Within the first month of working with Coach V, he helped me shave off 30 lbs. immediately!!! With his detailed instruction and nutritional knowledge, I consistently lost significant weight each month. 7 months in...inflammation completely gone, mobility restored, confidence on the rise and over 100+ lbs

I'm good about staying active and for the most part eating well, but I knew that I would need help to achieve certain goals. I reached out to Vernia and he was quick to respond. During my consultation I could tell that he was incredibly knowledgeable and was very accommodating to my crazy work/school schedule. Vernia took care of my nutrition needs and then set me up with my trainer, Ray. Ray is an amazing trainer. He is knowledgeable, a great motivator, and the ultimate hype man. I always get an amazing workout and he works hard to work with you in order to help you reach your health goals

I highly recommend Vernia for his no-nonsense approach and results focused coaching. I have been sitting at the same weight for over a year - these last few pounds have been difficult to come off! In just a couple of months with Vernia's coaching, I have already dropped 10 of my most stubborn pounds and am only 10 more from my goal. I have total confidence that Coach V will get me to my goal weight and body composition. He has tailored my routine (Fitness, nutrition, and supplements) to my body type and we are constantly working together to optimize and tweak things so that I am hitting

I've been working with Coach V for about 2 months now and he is amazing! When I was searching for a personal trainer I saw he was considered the best in Sacramento and I'm so glad I went with that recommendation! If you want someone to humor you, he isn't your guy. If you want someone who will hold you accountable and deliver results then he's your man! He'll kick your butt into shape with super high intensity workouts, give you an easy to follow meal and supplement plan, and also he's just an awesome person. I've lost 10 pounds so far and tightened up considerably

After being 40-60 pounds overweight for 10 years, I decided to actually DO something about it. I reached out to Vernia Smith of Shape Health & Fitness just three weeks ago and I am already down 12 pounds (during the holidays)! The program is flawless if you are willing to follow it exactly. The meals available for purchase are delicious and it really is beneficial the first couple of weeks as you adjust to a new lifestyle. I am NEVER hungry and I look at food in a different way now. I am being trained online 2 days a week and I am seeing results. My family and friends are already noticing how my

I've been training with Vern for over a year. He customizes a workout plan and meal plan that fits my everyday life. He's consistent and easy to work with. The gym is clean and has a friendly atmosphere. The best part is there's never more than 1-2 other people training at the same time so no one is uncomfortable working out. And the post workout shakes! Yummm

Working out at Shape Health Fitness has its benefits. I have met my goals of maintaining my weight, increasing my strength and doing weight bearing exercises. Vern evaluates and plans out my routine based on my age, physical abilities and goals.
Vern may push me until it burns but he is fully aware how much the body can take. Each session is different depending on how my body feels that day and what area should be worked on.
Vern is always friendly, positive, high energy and wants me to succeed. He explains what, why, where and how each exercise impacts my body.

I love the atmosphere and people here at Shape Health and Fitness. It can be hard to find a qualified personal trainer these days. I've tried the big gyms and the difference between a young 20-something trainer that works out a lot and Vern, who has a masters degree and decades of experience, is night and day. Vern will design a custom meal plan and exercise routine that is most beneficial to your body type. I've been a happy customer now for years. Call today and set an appointment to schedule your consultation with Vern, don't wait any longer!

I've been works out with Vernia for several months now and wow can I see a difference. In 4 months, I've lost almost 25 lbs. Vern set me up on a workout routine that fits my needs. I was in a car accident and have back problems. He has me doing exercises that really helps strengthen my back and core.
Vern also set me up on a nutritional plan with to foods that I like. BTW he also make a yummy protein shake after each workout.

I had to update, I don't want to mislead anyone. Vern the owner, high energy personality. The overall workup that I received in writing is very very good info. Rick Dobbins, best personal trainer ever. Overall the gym is very small, limited, and way over priced. I started out loving the place. Soon after the focus shifted. It was no longer about my goals or updating or challenging my work up, to the all mighty $$$.
Those are the positive and negatives. You decide.

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
