Very Disappointed - After following Aaron Schumake on social media (Instagram and snapchat), I have been majorly let down by a guy who I thought was an inspirational personal trainer and fitness model, but has turned out to be a phony and internet program scammer. Aaron released a 30 day challenge and promised things such as personalised training and food plans with an option for a mobile number he would provide to text for an additional cost. He would also have weekly video updates and answer all questions - ultimately provide support to all members. Unfortunately the program did not start on time and I had to chase Aaron for the program, which I didn't receive until a week after the challenge had apparently started. I then was advised to download a program called 'My Fitness Pal' to track and update all of my own food intake. There was no program, just a calorie counter - mind you all of the information that I provided as part of the requested questionare was not put into the program correctly, and therefore my macros were all wrong. I emailed several times but may have received one email back, it was in this email that I told Aaron how disappointed i was with the lack of keeping to the promises made by him for the program. He did email me back and say that it is as he intended and just to go with it... I am a personal trainer, so did know the basics to know that this was no personalised challenge as he stated. Finally, I have received 1 video (which was a generic sent to anyone who insisted in the program), and never received any further responses to my emails, and guess what, still no number to txt. I paid $199 USD which actually equates to $269 NZD, this was a complete scam and to make matters even worse, Aaron has now started a new challenge as part of Instagram. I commented on this also that I was still waiting for an email to my questions, however he was quick to delete the comment and write 'sent' to me.... Do not trust ANYTHING this guys says, do not do his programs. He takes your money and provided nearly nothing of what he promises. To make matters even worse, he has a brand called EHP LABS, which I also now doubt is at all legit. Very disappointing.

I too paid $250 USD to Aaron for a fitness challenge plan. Beings that he has 172k followed and many reputable people in his pictures I figured he too was reputable. I now know that he is a con artist. Unfortunate - I guess I’ll wrote this off on my taxes as charity? Haha! He knows I’m a single mom who is trying to better my life but has no conscious. I wish him FAT! Lol ... no but seriously.

Regardless of the reason why all this happened, it is in fact true. He would update his workouts maybe once every two months or so after a certain point... then after a while he just overall stopped. This was in 2014. I contacted aaron and asked him about it and he brushed me off. I posted on his social media asking about it, he blocked me and deleted the comment. He should own up to whatever happened. Refund money to people. But he never did. He just ignored us. That is why he is wrong.

I cant help but make an account to reply to your ignorant self. I remember when this all went down and for you to say that he "promised" a "food program" is completely ignorant. You and I both know that he never promised a food program, he promised to teach us how to count our macros which he did. Then he had us download an app that helps us track our macros. You seem to have just been lazy and preffered a food program rather than count your own macros... and when you didnt get it, you got pissed off because the program was already "a week late" which btw he did announce that the program would arrive a little late due to a serious personal problem.
now if he did "scam" you thats unfortunate but just to let you know the person who had the idea was his ex-girlfriend Jessica. She has scammed quite a couple of times i say from personal experience but i dont think its on purpose. I just think she is too lazy to be efficient as an athlete with her fan base and supporters.
"I commented on this also that I was still waiting for an email to my questions, however he was quick to delete the comment and write 'sent' to me..." you said.
im sorry but that sentence makes no sence. If you want your money back or a follow up to what he offered you then try emailing him now. Im not sure if its the same email as before. I doubt he scammed you with all the positive feedback he has been giving me. I think you are just over reacting a small problem but since you have some sort of hatred inside you you just had to go ahead and write this post. You also provided very little proof and convincing of this being true oh and EHP Labs isnt his company, he is sponsored by them and their products are the best I've ever tried in my life. A lot of body builders im friends with beg to agree with me on that. Honestly, I think this all is bullshit because if you really did get scammed, you should have tooken legal actions.
oh and when he did start the new challenge on instagram, im sure we can both remember it was free.. no payment. something you did on your own. On the other hand, Jessica Arevalo (his ex) did come out with a payed program or "challenge" the next month, and for a couple of months after that in a row. Anyways i hope you aren't stubborn and try to defend your word without proof. Good day sir and have a good life.
