About V Shred
V Shred is an online fitness app and supplement brand for men and women.
The face of V Shred is Vince Sant. Yes, an interesting name, but also a mega-awesome social media viral star known to many as “the V Shred guy”.
In 2015, Vince and three other co-founders, Nick Daniel, Roger Crandall and Kevin Pearn, set out to develop solutions for people who don’t have endless amounts of money and time to spend on fitness.
The company started in its Las Vegas headquarters with just $1,000 and has grown to a company worth over $200,000,000 by 2020.
There isn’t much information about the company and its origins, but we do know this: V Shred is an entire movement.
The company offers customized diet and fitness programs for men and women, supplements to support weight loss, an app for working out, and a monthly membership, which I’ll get into later.
Pros and Cons
In this V Shred review, I’ll give you all the minute details, but first, let’s identify the general pros and cons of the brand:
Pros
- Offers customized plans for body type, gender, age, and activity level
- BBB accredited
- Positive reviews about effective workouts and diet plans
- Support from the membership community
- 30-day money-back guarantee
Cons
- Poor customer service when it comes to hidden fees, denying refunds, and ignoring customer contacts

- Lack of information and transparency about the brand, its products and prices
What Is VShred?
V Shred is a revolutionary fitness program that gets you real results in no time. By combining “minimally effective” workouts with non-restrictive nutrition plans and top-notch coaching, V Shred has already helped 687,269 people transform their bodies.
In this VShred review, I’ll walk you through how their programs work, what kind of plans are available, and perhaps most importantly, the amazing results thousands have seen while on them.
How Does V Shred Work?
So let me preface this V Shred review with something first: The brand sells several different products and programs, including supplements, fitness programs, an app, and even clothing.
But I’ll mainly focus on one important part of the fitness brand and exercise: V Shred University, the monthly membership that only costs $1 for the first month. I’ll explain everything you need to know about it here, including the sign-up process.
When you sign up for the membership, you’ll fill out a V Shred body type quiz, which will determine which category you fall into and which plans will be sent to you each month for your body type.
That’s right, each month you pay $20 to receive a new diet and exercise plan to keep your fitness and nutrition exciting and on track.
I’ll admit that this video was a bit lengthy and it took Vince a while to get to the secrets, but he eventually gets around to it and explains the science behind his tips, so it’s worth watching.
And the best part? These tips are completely free and you can use them even if you don’t sign up for V Shred.
At the end of the video, Vince recommends a plan based on your gender and body type and explains what’s involved. He speaks some serious truths about fitness and dieting, and to be honest, even though the video was a little long, I found it very informative.
V Shred Programs
In our V Shred review, we found that the brand offers many fitness plans for a variety of people with different goals and body types. Take the V Shred quiz to be matched with the program best suited for you.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Ripped in 90 Days
- Extreme fat loss
- Personalized diet and training plan
- Get toned in 90 days
- Six-Pack Shred
Each of these plans has a specific goal. Some of them are pretty obvious, such as getting lean in 90 days.
But with all of these programs, you’ll get detailed instructions and guidance to keep you on track, even if you’re someone who has a hard time sticking with fitness.
The programs vary in length and last either 8 weeks, 12 weeks or 90 days. The plans offer meal guides, workout videos that you can complete from anywhere via the app, nutritional information and supplements.
With the personalized diet and exercise plan, you get personal online coaching and an 8-week plan created just for you.
V Shred Burn Evolved
Burn Evolved is a fat-burning capsule supplement that you take 2 capsules of daily. It helps you lose weight with cayenne pepper fruit extract, grains of paradise seed extract, caffeine, EGCG and yohimbine[1].
This composition makes V Shred Burn a best-seller that increases energy levels and metabolism[2], suppresses appetite and stimulates your body to burn more, faster.
A bottle normally costs $67, but is now available for $41. If you’re not satisfied after your personal Burn Evolved + your body experiment, you can request a refund via the money-back guarantee.
The brand also offers supplements specifically for men, such as V Shred Test Boost Max to increase testosterone.
What is the V Shred diet?
Our V Shred review found that there is no one ‘V Shred diet’ as the programs are designed for a range of people with different goals.
Studies[3] show that weight management depends on complex factors such as the amount of food eaten, the type of food eaten and the timing of meals.
To get a program tailored to you, take the V Shred quiz to find out which body type category you belong to. Depending on this, your diet may include, for example, V Shred Carb Cycling, one of the diet methods the brand absolutely swears by.
You can also purchase a customized diet and exercise plan for a truly personalized experience with real coaching.
Is The V Shred App Free?
Technically speaking, yes. The V Shred app can be downloaded for free. You get 5 days free for each 90-day program. But after that, you’ll have to pay for new content. Prices vary depending on the program and/or membership you choose.
Who Is V Shred For?
According to the V Shred body type quiz, the programs are suitable for almost anyone: male or female, in their teens to 60s, weighing up to 400 pounds and with a light to heavy activity level.
How Much Is V Shred?
Depending on what you want from V Shred’s selection of fitness products and services, prices vary, so let’s talk numbers.
First up, membership:
- V Shred University Membership: $20 per month, billed monthly
- First month: $1 just to try it out

V Shred Reviews: What Do Customers Think?
In order for our V Shred review to really do you, the curious reader, justice, we need to show you customer reviews. This is where it gets really interesting.
And with only positive testimonials and the most incredible body transformations to be found on the brand’s website and social media, we also consulted the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the Apple App Store and TrustPilot to find out the real truth.
The brand’s social media features numerous rave testimonials from customers who note that their bodies are “constantly changing for the better” with the Ripped in 90 Days program.
In the Fat Loss Extreme Program reviews on the brand’s website, one user posted the following along with a before and after photo:
“Totally out of my comfort zone, but this program works. This is 4 weeks of not exercising due to a knee injury…. I bought the customized nutrition plan and have stuck to it 100%. I still have a lot more weight to lose, but I couldn’t be happier with my progress.”
There are also testimonials from customers who joined the V Shred membership and became their own Fitspo while being supported by the private Facebook group for members
“From 330 to 199!!! I just left the 200 pound club and couldn’t be more proud of myself. This group and this program have changed my life!”
But it’s obvious that looking at the customer reviews and the stunning before and after pictures advertised by the brand itself is not an accurate, unbiased assessment of the programs and membership. So we set out to find the truth.
First, in our review of V Shred, we found that the brand is accredited with an A rating with the BBB. The 99 customer reviews give V Shred a rating of 2.2/5 stars.
Many of the BBB complaints reflect the same experience: they purchased the fitness program without the optional meal program, but found that they were charged for the meal program anyway.
One customer said they tried to call customer service to no avail and that the company’s “sales practices were very misleading.”
Since this experience was so common in the BBB complaints, it’s clear that there are issues with the company’s billing and POS system, leading to some very angry customers being charged for things they specifically did not want.
Likewise, this customer reported that he accidentally purchased the diet program, immediately asked for a refund, and 3 weeks later still had not received it.
“This company is a scam and obviously just wants to con unsuspecting people out of their money. I would never recommend doing business with these people.
On a positive note, the company has resolved 139 out of 384 complaints. V Shred has proven that it is responsive to customer complaints and is willing to compromise and help customers get a refund.
Still, BBB is a public forum for dealing with customer complaints. So who’s to say whether customer service would show the same kindness if these exchanges took place in private emails?
In the Apple App Store, the V Shred app has a rating of 4.6/5 stars. The negative reviews were very similar to the BBB complaints, with a number of people accidentally buying more than they wanted, showing poor communication of prices by the brand.
These unhappy customers were very upset and thought the company was a “scammer” spreading false information and promises.
However, there were many satisfied customers who praised the training videos as challenging, yet entertaining and motivating. This V Shred review of the app sums up the easy-to-understand, detailed program and the value of their purchase:
“Great workouts and daily plan for 3 months. Meal plans and detailed daily plan for each day. Amazing product for a great price. I think you get.
Is VShred Legit?
V Shred is very reputable. Nearly 700,000 people have seen success with its programs. The main problem customers have with this company is the (sometimes aggressive) marketing, but it actually delivers nutrition, training and coaching as promised.
Is V Shred Worth It?
After all this information, did our V Shred test reveal whether the brand is worthwhile? The survey says: yes. Well, it’s at least worth a try.
Since your first program is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, you can cancel at any time if you don’t like it and never have to look back.
Based on customer reviews about multiple payments, we warn you to look very, very carefully during the checkout process, as so many people have accidentally bought a diet plan when they didn’t mean to and then had trouble getting their precious pennies back.
So is VShred worth it? With all this in mind, it’s clear that many satisfied customers have experienced real results from the brand’s products and programs. Have fun with your fitness!

FAQ
Does VShred work?
You’ve almost reached the end of the V Shred review and I hope you now have a better understanding of what the brand’s programs are all about. You’ve seen a lot of before and after photos and heard from real customers, and the question of whether or not V Shred works may still be on your mind.
If so, I’ll tell you this: V Shred’s numbers are pretty impressive, and they’re a good sign that the brand is on the right track. After watching a few videos myself, I think the information V Shred imparts is helpful – especially if you’re unfamiliar with the science behind nutrition and fitness.
To put it simply: I believe that V Shred works – if only to encourage you to give up your restrictive eating habits or learn HIIT. In some ways, there’s a good chance you’ll notice a change while participating in these programs.
How can I cancel my V Shred subscription?
The unfortunate thing about V Shred is that the brand isn’t very forthcoming about many of our most burning questions, such as how to cancel a subscription.
We would love to provide you with a numbered list of how to cancel your subscription, but all the brand can tell you is to send an email to support@vshred.com to cancel.
What is V Shred’s shipping policy?
Our review of V Shred found that the company only ships its Sculpt Nation supplements to the US and Canada.
Orders are processed within 24 hours and tracking information is sent via email after the package is shipped. It then takes approximately 4-6 business days for the package to arrive.
What is V Shred’s return policy?
At V Shred, you have 30 days to get your money back if you are not satisfied with your fitness purchase. Contact the brand via email to request a refund.
One important caveat is that customized diet and exercise plans are excluded from this return policy.
