( I did a somatotype and diet review here) Vince appeared to be in way over his head with the ‘science,’ talking about metabolism and white fat vs brown fat and somatotypes, which aren’t actually a thing. Vince also talks about his mom and sisters in the video, and mansplaining about women’s bodies, which I’m sure is meant to spark some emotional connection with us (marketing), but made me want to vomit because it was so obvious. The scary thing is that when I entered my 13 year-old daughter’s information into the questions on the VShred site (it actually has a ‘teen’ category), it gave me a 60 minute video of Sant talking about how some women ‘struggle with willpower’ and how VShred can help them get rid of stubborn fat. There don’t appear to be any safeguards for age (I selected the ‘teen’ category…and yes, it exists) or warnings about eating disorders or any other contraindications for doing a program like this. Watch a 60 minute video of ‘world famous fitness model and certified trainer’ Vince Sant talking about your body type and 3 simple fixes to get rid of your ‘soft, out of shape body’ (cue images of women grabbing at their bellies) and get a ‘slim and toned body’ that you’ll want to ‘show off’ without ‘starving yourself.’ And hey, Vince has three ‘fat destroyers’ to help you, but you need to watch until the end of the video for him to reveal them!įigure out your macros or buy the meal plans for an extra cost.
Here’s how the VShred experience typically goes:Īnswer some questions on the VShred site to find out which diet and exercise program they recommend for you. It seems like the VShred 90 day Fat Loss Extreme program is the most popular with the people I’ve spoken to, but I think it’s safe to say that the other programs that VShred offers are likely a variation of that one, anyhow. VShred offers a host of programs like Fat Loss Extreme, Custom Diet and Training for Her (and for Him), Ripped in 90 Days, Clean Bulk Program, 6-Pack Shred, The Booty Builder, etc. I’m not going to say anything in-depth about the VShred workouts, other than that it’s a well-known fact that Vince seems to be roundly reviled in the bodybuilding/ weight lifting community. Vince was a fitness model before he got involved with VShred, but now his job title has somehow morphed into ‘celebrity fitness trainer,’ even though many, many, MANY actual fitness trainers will tell you that Vince often demonstrates poor form and some of the exercises he gives out may be potentially harmful. Here’s a screenshot of Vince meal-prepping…without a shirt.
The face of VShred is a guy named Vince Sant, who has a lot of muscles and rarely wears a shirt. VShred is a nutrition and fitness company. When legit professionals are all in agreement with how sh*t a company is, we should really listen. There are also a sh*t-ton of YouTube videos from legit bodybuilders explaining why VShred may be a scam, and Ben Carpenter, whose content I adore, has taken them on a few times on his Reels. Not only my followers, but also on the Better Business Bureau website, where VShred has a 2.12/5 rating and 424 complaints in the last 3 years. Needless to say, a LOT of people do not like VShred. People started DM’ing me with their experiences, their personal VShred meal plans, screenshots of conversations with their coaches, all sorts of VShred emails and PDFs…it was nuts.
Be prepared to count high!Īs part of my research on VShred, I put out a call on my Facebook page for anyone who had ever been on the program. I’m also marking off all the red flags for you to count up.
There’s so much content, so many dark corners, and there’s also the whole thing of the company behind VShred (sketchy AF, I’m not even going to go there in detail).įor this VShred review, I’ve tried to limit myself to what I consider to be the most important things about the program. It’s like jumping into a rabbit hole and getting lost in there for weeks. So yeah, thanks to my friend for lighting a fire under me – I’m sure a lot of people are going to benefit from her almost-mistake! Just telling her not to do VShred wasn’t going to be enough – I needed the come up with all the reasons why.
