V Shred VIP

I spent 1997 on the program. During the process my brother was diagnosed with inoperable cancer and kidney failure. I became his caregiver. I requested a pause. That was not honored. When I asked for a refund for the time frame I had spent since the request for pause. I am still waiting for the refund. Prior to my request for a pause there was no interaction between my coach and I except automated reminders. Save your money. Lesson learned for me.

I am in month 6 (Phase 2-3) and have had decent results after having to tweak a few things to accommodate diet and workout needs. But there are definitely flaws to this program that should be corrected to reflect the cost of a personal trainer and customized diet plan. The “app” used to create the monthly menus is frustrating between the grocery list of ingredients being listed in the wrong category or similar items such as beef being listed twice depending on the description, which forces extra time at the grocery store that defeats the purpose of a grocery list broken up by departments…Plus recipes do not have the basic “cookbook style” of ingredients being listed in the order used, and odd measurements such as 1/2 an egg. I find I need to send long, detailed messages to my coach, which if I leave my phone for a second, the draft doesn’t save and I have to start over. Also, there is nowhere to find the record of which supplements I’ve received as part of the plan or how many I have left. If I wasn’t already somewhat disciplined and determined to reach my goals, I wouldn’t have renewed again. The most helpful part of the program is the accountability and the basic starting place for the menu and exercises, even though most weeks I have to modify things. I do appreciate the breakdown of macros and calorie goals for when I actually have time to input everything into the MyFitness Pal app, but considering the cost of VShred VIP, that should be integrated. Obviously with the other issues adding one more thing would probably cause more problems. lol. Bottom line is I’m not saving the time that I was told made this program worth the cost, but since I am seeing results when I follow roughly 80%, I’ll keep at it through the end of my current phase.
