Hi Girl, How have you been!
Great I hope. Have not talked to you in so long. Been doing some traveling this winter and just came back from Myrtle Beach, SC this past week. Now I'm ready for Memorial Day weekend. Any way I just wanted to let you know that I still have the extra set of equipment. Maybe we can both make some money for it if you know someone? Also I wanted you to know that everyone that we have that joins Shapes for Women In Lynchburg, VA "LOVE IT", it is so much better than the Curves down the street they tell me "we have two curves within a 5 mile radius" As an owner I want everyone to know that You, Rosie, and everyone you have introduced me to has been so helpful, honest, and have exceeded my expectations in every way. And the equipment is excellent we have not had 1 problem.

All the Best

Hi Symanthia!
I would like to thank you for all of your wonderful help and support for the last 6 months. I came down to Houston, Texas and you took me to the Henley Manufacturing plant to tour. It was a wonderful experience meeting Mr. John Henley, the original creator of the hydraulic circuit equipment. The equipment that you sold to me is top notch quality. I have been signing up other members from lady workout centers that do not get the quality of dual resistance with multiple settings. As soon as the women sit down and try 3 or 4 pieces of equipment they notice the difference in quality and durability. Shapes for Women has given a whole new approach to hydraulic circuit workout for women. I and all of us here at Lady Slender would like to thank you and your whole company and employees!!!!!

I cannot say enough about the hydraulic equipment and service provided by Symanthia Harper and Shapes for Women. The machines are sturdy, look fantastic, and the varying resistance accommodates a wide range of users. This was a smooth transaction from start to finish including a good dose of Texas hospitality.

We have been up and running for 6 months now. The equipment is great! No heavy duty maintenance; just keep it clean. The customers love it. Hopefully we can soon add another piece to the eight machines that we have now.

"When I was ready to open my gym I checked out almost all of the equipment out there. No one beats "Shapes for Women" for sturdiness and ease of operation. Working with everyone at "Shapes for Women" is a pleasure. If you ever need anything, they are just a phone call away."

It’s been almost a year now since I first opened the gym in Minto, and it has been a huge success. Being new to this type of equipment, I am thankful that I chose what I did. It’s very easy to maintain, and is easy to use, and accommodates all the women that come to my gym.
I would like to thank Symanthia for all her help and support. She was right there to help whenever I had a problem. I also would have to have a special thank you for Rosie, she is someone I’lm glad to know and to have met.

As I celebrate my first year as owner of a 30 minute workout gym for women, I often feel gratitude that I did not buy a franchise. Not only because I love our equipment (as do our members!) and working with Max and Symanthia, but the freedom to grow and try new things has led to amazing benefits. The opportunity to discover our own way of servicing our members has led to truly creative and fun ideas that keep our gym, our employees and our work fresh and enjoyable!
What a fantastic idea Shapes For Women had in guiding us through the opening and handling all the machine standards, freeing us up to make the leap and grow as true entrepreneurs. Guidance without stifling control- or franchise fees!

Helen (Houston)

I did a great deal of research on equipment, and found that not only was the Shapes for Women equipment the best on the market so was the staff! I also liked the independent aspect vs. the franchise, and being able to provide more services to our members and increase our income. I definitely feel we made the right choice!

I can’t say enough to thank the folks at Shapes for Women for helping get my ladies fitness center started. We have been open since October of 2004 and have lots of happy customers. It’s an easy way to burn calories and tone in just 30 minutes. The equipment is perfect for women. My customers love the variety of resistance settings. This is great for women that are beginners and experienced. No franchise fees is an extra bonus…

The equipment has arrived and I'm thrilled! It's heavy duty but light to move. It's adjustable and can be locked. It fits both the boys and the girl's who are weight challenged. Your prices are very reasonable and your staff very helpful and responsive to all questions immediately. The kid's loved their first workout. Finally a program that pulls along everyone. Every high school should try to get them. We are in exercise heaven.

I am very satisfied with your equipment. It looks much better than any other equipment, that I saw in other fitness clubs and now after 6 months using it in my fitness club I know that I don't have any technical problems with it. I visited the plant where the equipment is produced and was very impressed. I thank Symanthia and Max for their warm welcoming and their help with marketing and for many good ideas that they gave.

Choosing my equipment was the most important decision I had to make when opening my fitness and yoga studio. I looked at all the manufacturers available and assessed their products using multiple criteria: durability, service, maintenance, price, warranty, materials, and aesthetic appeal. I chose Shapes for Women because their equipment is the very best available, bar none, and their people are truly wonderful.
Max, Symanthia, and Rosie have been there for me every step of the way, providing information and unbelievable service. My studio is now closing in on its first anniversary. My circuit looks pristine, and performs as well today as it did the day it arrived. Many of my members previously belonged to a large national franchise, and they each lit up the first time they used my equipment – it’s bigger, more comfortable, and provides a much, much better workout. I could not be happier with Shapes for Women.

Ms. Symanthia and Rosie

Ms. Symanthia and Rosie went beyond the call of duty in assisting me with the development of my women's gym. I simply emailed Ms. Symanthia and said "Help, I want to open a gym." Ms. Symanthia personally called me the very next day and invited me to Houston. To my amazement, she assisted me all the way through giving me much needed advice. She provided me with a complete gym package-one stop shopping!
Ms. Rosie was amazing as well. She came to my rescue every time I needed her without batting an eye. I commend her for her patience and good nature. The equipment is awesome! It is by far the Best in the market and the most economical to purchase. I recommend them and love them so much that I requested permission to use their name. I am a Shapes For Women Fitness Center in New Jersey

I have the utmost appreciation & respect for Shapes for Women. Having been a member of Curves for 1 1/2 years, I do know first hand the difference in the equipment. Not only is the equipment more thought out as far as design changes, having the adjustable feature is huge. The choice of the recovery stations........also makes a difference in the experience. We are using the Ramps & the ladies love them. Working with Shapes for Women for over a year has proven to me that any issues that I may face will not be handled alone. I've never for one instance been disappointed. All it takes is a phone call....
Max, Rosie or Symanthia will respond immediately. They have proven over & over to be the consummate professionals. I am getting ready to open a second location, and would not even consider using their product or working with them if everything wasn't above board. Their word is Gold... they've also proven that to them. As personable, knowledgeable, and helpful as they appear when dealing with them long distance is magnified 10 fold when I had the opportunity of meeting all of them at the workshop in Houston.
I consider them friends as well as colleagues. Through them I have had the great experience of having other club owners at my fingertip to network with. Also, training in No. 1. with Marie with Totally Trim & Tone has added another dear friend to my life. Training was fun, comfortable & informative. I miss Marie...as well as Samantha, Rosie & Max. That alone speaks volumes. Feel free to contact me in Ohio at Ladies Choice Fitness.....330-220-2300................Good Luck.......

Dear Symanthia, Max, and Rosie,
I want to thank you for getting my business off the ground. Symanthia, Max, and Rosie helped me with anything I needed, they are great people. The equipment is top of the line equipment, the women rave about the machines. I have many results with weight loss and inches lost with the hydraulic equipment i bought from Symanthia.
