Our Tri Point Philosophy
Exercise | Nutrition | Supplementation
According to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008-2018 (NHANES), about 2/3 of adults in the United States are overweight, and almost 1/3 are obese.
Eating right and being physically active isn’t just about being on a “diet” or “program” — it is the key to a healthy lifestyle. Healthful habits reduce the risk of many chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancers, thus increasing your chances for a longer and better-quality life. By working one-on-one with our professionals, you will experience a total body conditioning service designed to challenge you and assist in your fitness goals. Each session focuses on the key components to exercise: flexibility training, strength conditioning, and cardiovascular activity.
Sleep and Recovery
Research shows that sleep is crucial to weight loss and fitness.
Check out these research reports about how getting enough of sleep will help you hit your goals:

7 to 8 hours of sleep is the recommended amount that gives your muscles time to recover properly. Fact: You only lose weight while you are sleeping, so it’s important to get enough.
It is absolutely crucial to include proper sleep in your daily schedule.
Your body will thank you for it!
Somatotype Training
Your Body Type Matters. Your Results Depend on It.
At Shape Health & Fitness, we don’t use generic workout plans. Your program is built around your body type, because different bodies respond differently to training and nutrition.
In the 1940s, researcher Dr. William Sheldon introduced the concept of somatotypes — a way to understand how body structure influences fat loss, muscle gain, and overall performance. He identified three primary body types:
Endomorph – gains fat more easily, struggles with weight loss
Mesomorph – naturally athletic, gains muscle efficiently
Ectomorph – lean build, struggles to gain size or strength
Most people aren’t just one type. That’s why we assess key physical characteristics and assign a three-number profile that shows how closely you match each body type. Each score ranges from 1 (low match) to 7 (strong match).
For example:
A strong endomorph may score 7-1-1
A strong mesomorph may score 1-7-1
A strong ectomorph may score 1-1-7
Many clients fall in between, such as 6-4-4 or 4-6-4
Why This Matters for You
This profile tells us:
How your body prefers to burn fat
How quickly you build muscle
How aggressive (or conservative) your training and nutrition should be
Instead of fighting your genetics, we work with them — designing workouts and meal plans that get results faster, feel sustainable, and actually stick.
The Result?
Smarter training. Fewer plateaus. Real progress.

Nutrition
The second component of the Tri-Point Philosophy is maintaining a properly balanced diet. There are a certain number of calories a person needs to consume each day in order to stay healthy. This number varies depending on your age, activity level and your personal goals. It is very possible to consume your entire daily amount with just a few high-calorie items but the likelihood of getting the full range of vitamins and nutrients that your body needs is very low. If you consume 100 more food calories a day than you burn you’ll gain about 1 pound in a month. That’s about 10 pounds in a year. The bottom line is that to lose weight it is important to reduce calories and increase physical activity.
At Shape Health and Fitness, we customize a Meal Plan to fit each individual’s personal (not everyone wants to lose weight!) needs and goals. We help you choose low calorie and nutritionally rich foods to eat daily – all packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and nutrients that the body needs. Each Meal Plan is designed to easily fit into a busy lifestyle and is by no means overwhelming. Shape Health and Fitness has a high success rate and this is due in part to our meal plan, which provides an easy transition into a realistic and healthy lifestyle.
Supplements
The third component of the Tri-Point Philosophy is taking the proper supplements. The nutritional supplements that we recommend will vary from person to person. They are vital to maintaining proper nutrient intake. They can also help speed recovery time from training, promote the health of specific body systems and be used for training goals such as building muscle mass or burning body fat.
If you are training hard and eating a balanced diet taking certain supplements can help you achieve better results quicker. Our trainers have extensive knowledge of supplements that can maximize results in a safe and healthy manner. We use only the highest quality supplements available to ensure positive results.
We affirm his understanding of supplements and believe that supplements are the cutting edge to success.
