Be Aware of Shredz Scams in the Fitness Industry

What is Shredz?

Shredz is a nutraceutical company that claims to primarily focus on offering bodybuilding and weight loss supplements. According to their website, their company’s mission is to contribute to the wide-ranging fitness community by creating a movement that is entirely based on progress, positivity, and pushing yourself to the limit. The company was founded by an entrepreneur, Arvin Lal, who started Shredz inside his home. He used the strategy of social media marketing to sell his products and eventually turned Shredz into a company. Within no period of time, it was among one of the fastest growing companies that is known around the world. This lightning growth was due to profits generated from the Shredz scams.

Products of Shredz

When you visit their company website, you will see that Shredz offers different product lines based on the kind of goals you want to achieve. They advertises a 30-day quick weight loss plan for both men and women and guarantees maximum weight loss results. Their products for men and women were slightly different. Similarly, they also offered a large variety of bodybuilding supplements which were specifically geared towards men. They provided protein supplements to enhance muscle growth as well.

Shredz never explains the science behind the products they offered, how these products will function, or how these supplements will make weight loss or bodybuilding possible. They just provided the consumer a short list of ingredients to let them know what they were buying.

Athletes associated with Shredz Scams

Many famous athletes that included Devin Physique (Devin Zimmerman), and Paige Hathaway were associated with this brand. Over the last few months, there have been a lot of cases reported about the copious content being posted on various websites where Shredz athletes were scamming clients, photoshopping their photos, running fake competitions, and were telling their clients to follow their meal plan in addition to using Shredz supplements for having a physique like them. They was also requesting their payments via PayPal as “gifts” so that their new clients can never see their funds again as soon as they find out how crooked and scamming the company was.

Shredz – The biggest scam of fitness industry

Shredz utilized various social media sites, ambassadors, and influencers to market their pills, supplements, and powders. It was a shocking moment for many people in the world when this company turned out to be nothing more than a scam. As soon as people got to know about the Shredz scams, this information spread like wildfire. This website deletes any negative feedback posted on social media instantly and actively so that nobody would find out about the company’s reputation as a fraud. Speaking about their customer service, when asked about the quantity of certain ingredients in their products, consumers will get either a joke of an answer or they will hang up.

How Shredz is a Scam?

If a person see it from a nutritional point of view, supplements (hands down) can never be the number one solution to any issue regarding health and fitness. Most of the supplements that were sold during the Shredz scams could never deliver the over-hyped results they promised to offer in their products. There are supplements available that can make a bit of physical difference to the body. On the norm, the results are about 2 to 5 percent with any product out there that is available. There is not a magic pill or drink to lose weight in one night or to have a physique like a bodybuilder. In order to see healthy results, you have to put a lot of effort and continuous determination in this way.

From the marketing point of view, Shredz earned a huge amount of popularity while marketing their products on social media. By the end of 2012, the company had posted an estimated $90,000 in gross revenue while in 2013 they posted about 90 million in annual revenue.

We can learn through the Shredz scams is that if a company is either not true to the products they are selling, not selling value over costs, or just conning consumers out of money, their success will be short-lived. In the end, they will always get burned when consumers find out the real truth behind the business.

If a company gives their consumers great value and care about solving their issues and problems through their products, they will definitely have long term success. This is an example of what all businesses should do when there are a lot of people trusting their money and loyalty to them.
