Results!
More than I ever dreamed I could achieve! Not only
have I lost weight, but I have lost body fat percentage
and gained muscle. I have so much more energy now.
I am stronger, not just physically, but mentally and
emotionally, thanks to Chad. My balance has improved
a great deal from that first day, and my muscles have
responded to our many workouts by becoming toned and
sculpted. But it's the little things that I notice
and that make me smile. When I ride on the motorcycle
my arms no longer flap like wings in the breeze, they
are firm. And when I sit down I can look straight
down and see all of my legs, instead of the large
mound of fat that I carried for so many years obstructing
my view. Best of all, I now have the stamina to keep
up with my 4-year old grandson, Jake, who is all boy,
and know that I will have many more years growing
with him because of the wonderful gifts of proper
diet and exercise that Chad has taught me to develop,
as well as a positive attitude to achieve what is
within yourself. Thank you again, Chad, for all you
have done and will continue to do for me and many
others. - Doreen (Bluffton, SC)

I
wore the brown shirt one year ago. Needless to say
- it has been donated! Thank you for all that you
have helped me achieve. I can't say Thank You enough!
I'm about an inch and a half away from fitting back
into my wedding gown - not bad for almost 10 years
later."
You
have truly helped restore the smile on my face. Ya'll
are the best! I enjoy walking in and being greeted
with smiles and everyone knows your name - you are
treated as an individual, not just a member. I definitely
have more energy and I can see that I am losing weight
and getting in shape. I can eat without feeling guilty
- I now know I NEED to eat to be fit and healthy.
I went from eating one meal a day to eating at least
4 times a day. - Cyndi (Bluffton, SC)

I
just wanted to thank you all for all you've done for
me over the last 10 months, with your help and the
Weight Watchers program I've gone from a personal
weight high of 348 lbs To my present weight of 215
lbs, I still have a little ways to go but I know with
you behind me as well as my family and friends that
I will get to my goal weight of 200 lbs. I was right
on the verge of going over that line of no return.
I had high blood pressure and was on medication and
I was prediabetic, My cholesterol was out of sight,
My personal health was very bad not to mention that
it was all I could do just to walk up a flight of
stairs without having to stop to catch my breath.
Today I'm in the best shape that I've been in, in
many years, Not since I was in the Army have I felt
so good, and that was more then 22 years ago, I am
also off all my medications, and there is no sign
of Diabetes or High blood pressure and my Cholesterol
is shaping up as well. I want to thank you all for
helping me see the light, and to help me save my life.
I couldn't have done it without you. Thanks again.

After
two years, retirement living "southern style"
had caught up to me. A new home and lifestyle plus
the stress of having my son deployed to Iraq all contributed
to me being out of shape. I
decided to join a big gym and quit after a month -
so I decided to give Shaping Concepts a try. I signed
up for three workouts a week and met my trainer. His
style has taught me how consistency and commitment
achieves results. After three months I've lost 20
pounds and am still counting! Shaping Concepts provides
one-on-one attention and a personal program designed
just for you. The trainers really do want you to succeed!
My Trainer is constantly changing my routine as I
near my goal. His killer "combos" really
work!

has gone from 148 pounds of fat to 138 pounds of pure
muscle. She has dropped 6% body fat and absolutely loves
her biceps now. She cannot stop flexing for people!

been coming for seven months and I was able to make
it through a trip through Mexico and all the pyramids".

| "As
I reflect on my first full year with Shaping Concepts-more
particularly Chad and Hilary - I am amazed at the progress
I have made. I
originally came to the Shaping Concepts gym kicking
and screaming, to partner with my wife Linda in a one
week "spouses train free" special. Well, one
week became two and then three and before I knew it
I was a full paying customer with my own trainer and
customized workouts.
I
am a numbers guy by profession and that's the best
way I know to report my results to date. My weight
has dropped from 235 pounds on day one to 216 pounds
as I write this. My body fat has dropped from 34%
to 26%. In short, I have reduced my weight and added
muscle, as perhaps you might expect.
But
my numbers go beyond that. What I am most excited
about is the fact that my blood pressure (which often
ran in excess of 145/85) is now regularly in the 120/80
range. I am also much more sensitive to my nutritional
habits.
Bottom
line-I feel great and many say I look great as well.
I
look forward to my second year as a much more informed,
positive and I must say physically fit individual,
and would encourage anyone reading this testimonial
to give Shaping Concepts a try. I assure you, you
won't be sorry".

| “I
have always been a little bit of a fitness buff and
workout regularly, but I found I wasn’t really
pushing myself. When I started looking for trainers
I knew I wanted something different than what most gyms
offer you. These trainers offer very little face time,
workouts that aren’t customized to your needs,
and you usually find yourself shelling out hundreds
of dollars with very little results. When I found Shaping
Concepts and read about their program I knew it was
the one for me! My one on one time with Chad is some
of the best training I have ever done. He pushes me
to my limits and doesn’t let me quit, which is
just what I need. Every workout session is different
and challenging, but they are also fun! After one month
I felt stronger and have that little bit of extra confidence
that comes with the knowledge that I am pushing myself
in all my workouts. Shaping Concepts also offer a number
of nutritional classes that teach you healthy eating
habits. Something you won’t find in any gym! Deciding
to train with Chad and the team at Shaping Concepts
is one of the best choices I have made."

“I
began working with Chad and Roberto about two months
ago and really enjoy it! In fact, I look forward to
working out twice a week and I can't even believe that
I am saying this. I just have never dedicated time to
establish and stick with a fitness routine. It was always
too easy to make an excuse not to do it. But when you
have an appointment and know that you will feel great
when you leave, you never want to miss it. I definitely
get pushed further than I would push myself and that's
exactly what I needed. This is something that I am doing
just for me! Not only am I seeing the difference, but
I am feeling it too. Thanks!"

with Shaping Concepts, 30 minutes / 3 times a week,
has enabled me to obtain greater physical strength and

| “Without
my workouts each week at Shaping Concepts, (Chad, Derek)
I would not feel as great as I do or have so much energy.
The past 5 months of hard work has paid off in a lot
of ways. First, I feel better about myself and recently
on a vacation to Europe, with lots of walking, stair
climbing and hills, I not only was able to keep up,
but I was the leader of the “pack”! I was
so strong I was able to hold up the Leaning Tower of
Pisa!!” (See Picture)
“Thanks
to Chad and Derek for your support and encouragement
and for making workouts SO MUCH FUN!! I look forward
to making even more progress and seeing more results
in the near future! I feel GREAT!"

| "Love
the fact that you get a TOTAL body workout in a half
hour. Also love the fact that every time we come we
use different kinds of equipment and each time we do
different exercises with that equipment.
We’ve
had Loss of weight and body fat which helps us feel
better about ourselves, Increased strength and endurance
- healthier body, ncreased energy and desire to workout.
We live in Sun City. Most people in Sun City think
we are crazy to pay someone when we have beautiful
fitness centers at our disposal at all times for "free".

for us!! Your friendly, positive attitude has been
really appreciated.” Randy & Deb (Sun

trainers are great, they do a wonderful job of catering
to your personal goals. It is also nice that the cardio
equipment is available to you even if you do not have
a scheduled session. My stamina has improved, I feel
stronger, am sleeping better. am pleased with the direction
that we are alredy going in, I do not think that it
is necessary to make any changes in my routine".

| “THANK
YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Since starting the Shaping
Concepts program a few weeks ago, I am definitely noticing
a difference in the way I look and feel. Although I’ve
only lost a few pounds, I’m very excited at how
much tighter my body is—less flabbiness and more
muscle definition. My clothes are fitting better and
some are even loose! As a result of attending the Body
Transformation seminar, I’m eating more nutritional
meals. I now read labels and have a better understanding
of what’s in the food I buy and how we are often
misled by advertising. I also drink A LOT more water.
I was surprised at how much of a difference the water
makes—I feel much less bloated throughout the day.
Thanks for the enlightenment! The workouts have such
variety that it is never boring—challenging yes,
but not boring! Your guidance in doing each move correctly
and encouragement in pushing for “just two more”
has given me the confidence that I can do it. I highly
recommend the program to anyone who wants a challenging
workout with personal attention that gets results quickly.
Thanks again." Donna (Bluffton, SC) |

| “For
more years than I can even think of, I have been battling
my weight. It has affected my career, my personal life
and left me in medical terms, as “morbidly obese”.
I recently turned 50 and felt like if I didn’t
do something now, my life would not last much longer.
I had tried every diet known to man with very poor results.
Then one day I was going into Domino’s for pizza
when I saw next door was a place called “Shaping
Concepts”. After talking to my doctor I decided
to go the route of exercise and good eating. (To which
he had been telling me for years to help combat my diabetes)
I enrolled in the program and found that first off,
the trainers really care about you and are dedicated
to helping you attain your goals. They are friendly,
personal, and professional.
They design a program that is just right for your personal
needs. Along with all of this, they even provide education
on how to shop for food, what to look for and even an
eating plan that I can stick to. I started slow (because
of my poor condition) and was astounded how quickly
the body reacts to exercise. I am six weeks into my
program now and have lost 10lbs, many inches, and feel
10 years younger. My blood pressure has come down from
130/90 to 112/66 and my blood sugar numbers are coming
back to normal. I have discovered a lifestyle that will
not only lengthen my life span, but allow me to enjoy
a better quality of life, one full of energy and vitality
that I would never have had without Shaping Concepts.
I will continue this program knowing that finally, I
have found the vehicle to help me reach my goal in conditioning
and weight loss. I thank God for Shaping Concepts……"

| "All
of these kids went out of their way to make me feel
it was possible to do the things that would make me
stronger. Each one was inspiring as well as encouraging.
It was interesting. They told about how they kept their
training up. And made being able to do exercises seem
like fun, which was new to me.
No
one ever gave me something I could not do. I did not
go home in pain and it was never boring. I learned
that fire fighters walk backwards to gain strength.
I had never played ball before and they were so kind
and encouraging that I wondered whether [like that
sweet girl] I'd soon be playing ball. Each person
who helped me opened a view of the world of physical
activity which looked attractive and beneficial. No
one scolded me or tried to make me feel guilty, or
poor at what I was doing.
It
is good to hear, "You are stronger than I thought
you would be". "You are going to be able
to go out boating soon". These kids set it up
so I will do well; so it's a pleasure to go there.
And I am getting stronger and I'm sure I'm going to
be able to reach my goals.
I
thought exercises were either something you did that
hurt, bored you, and very likely would be humiliating
if you did not do well at it. At Shaping Concepts
you can find the way to improve fitness and enjoy
doing it. They are great trainers!" Pat (Bluffton,

to my Shaping Concepts trainer, my personal “drill
sergeant”, I am a new woman! To date I have lost
12 pounds. I feel better about myself and my clothes
are a lot looser. Because of my trainer’s motivation
I look forward to my sessions. If you want results that
will last, then Shaping Concepts is for you! Thanks
for what you have done for me and my body!" Terra

| “The
Shaping Concepts staff has brought the intense, competitive
athlete out in me that had been lost since high school.
Not only did I lose some of my dreaded “college
weight”, but I gained muscle and improved my endurance.
I really enjoyed the challenge of working out with Chad,
Hilary, or George each week because they never let me
slack off! In fact, I even surpassed most of my own
expectations. I feel very confident heading into my
senior year of collegiate golf competition with my improved
fitness and improved mental competitiveness. Overall,
my experience at Shaping Concepts was amazing and I
would encourage everyone, athlete and non-athlete alike,
to give it a try.” Heather (Bluffton, SC) |

| “I
used to be one of those people who "went"
to the gym maybe twice a week. Once there, I was lost.
I would watch others to see what they were doing. Each
time I would try different machines, based on what people
were doing that day. That NEVER worked. Then I felt
as if it did not matter, I would never get "it"
right and shape up my body. I was that person who went
to the grocery store and did not know what to buy. After
trying everything from Atkins to South Beach, I was
at a total loss when it came to buying food. Feeling
that no matter what I did, it was not going to work
for me.”
“Having
my own consulting company, I often talk in front of
groups of people. One of the things I say the most
is "ACCOUNTABILITY". That was it! Once I
started with Shaping
Concepts,
it held me accountable for my workouts. That is what
works for me. Since then I have learned how to work
out, what to eat to help with my body type and what
foods are good for my body.”
“This
transformation I am going through has changed my life
for the better. This is not just a "workout",
it is a lifestyle change. I feel better about myself.
I have more energy. This allows me to do more in my
day with my family. It has helped me with my horseback
riding. It has given me the strength to be a better
rider. I now know what it takes to help improve my
life.”
“Thank
you Chad and Roberto! I really could not do it without
you!" Trish (Bluffton, SC)
