Wallace Merriman
Owner, Female Weight Loss Specialist / Personal Trainer / Health and Fitness Coach
Here at You Be Fit, we help people take the confusion out of better health, exercise, and nutrition which is the starting point to success!
“There is so much misinformation out there about diet, exercise, and nutrition, people get so confused and don’t know what to do. So we start, get overwhelmed, get discouraged and then stop. What we do at You-Be-Fit is help you understand the basics of diet, exercise, and nutrition, position you closer to your personal goals, provide direction, support, and accountability and establish a game plan for you that will last a lifetime instead of a moment in time.”
Being a former U.S. Army Master Fitness Trainer, Personal Trainer, Certified Fitness Nutritionist (CFN) and a Health & Fitness Consultant, I have a passion for helping people in the areas of wellness, exercise, and fitness. It’s important we understand that even if you pile on the fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of juice and milk, and eat fish a couple of times a week, we may not be getting all the nutrients we need. We need help to fill the gap between what’s in the food we eat and the nutrition our body needs for optimum health and to help us avoid chronic conditions and diseases down the road. The problem is that most people don’t eat right or exercise properly. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and help people who want better health, walk through the nutritional maze and make it safely to the other side!

Client Testimonials
I lost 45 pounds in 2020 (during a pandemic, as a single mom, buying a house, and getting a new job) with coaching from Wallace Merriman, and now I am ready to get into swimsuit shape! No excuses!!
I have gone down many paths for maintaining a healthy weight with some success but unable to sustain the weight loss. Wallace, of You Be Fit, is extremely qualified, specializes in weight loss for women, and has helped me not only to articulate my goals but also to identify the roadblocks to my success. He does this with an extraordinary grasp of female psychology, humor, enthusiasm, and energy. He provides daily positive reinforcement and reminders of what you are going to accomplish. This includes a detailed plan of what you need to do to attain your personalized goals. I would recommend him to anyone who is serious about healthy weight loss through lifestyle changes. I'm down 37 pounds and loving the New ME!!! Thanks, Wallace!!!
Hello Wallace, just wanted to update you with my great news. Thanks to your 60-day challenge that gave me my jump start I am now down 37lbs and can fit both of the outfits I had on my phone screen saver. After your 60 day challenge, I was down 17lbs and could fit the pants but not able to button them. Thank you again for your guidance. I will continue to practice what I have learned from you.
Wallace is kind, positive, and motivating! He does not judge and encourages clients to do their best. You Be Fit works if you are ready to make a change. Weight loss. I lost 17.4 pounds!!! Thank you for helping me change my life!
I initially thought his program was going to be too intense for me to handle, but with his support and motivation, I have made progress, both mentally and physically. I also thought the food prep and consistent check-ins would be too much but I truly appreciate the accountability each day. Wallace's motivation and constant positivity made me feel that I could accomplish anything that I put my mind to. His daily mantras and scriptures kept me focused each day and gave me the initiative to keep going and not quit! He is serious about his craft, so you'd better come correct or don't come at all! Wallace has more energy than anyone else I know, but he uses it to make you a better person!!! I lost 16 pounds and still going!!!
Within a short 6 weeks, I was able to gain buns and guns (inside joke) lol.
I have learned the correlation of drinking tons of water and eating frequently.
Thank you Wallace, thank you “You be Fit”!
Wallace is knowledgeable about how to get the job done! He works with you and tries to figure out what you have been doing to make a lifestyle change and what you need to do better. Most of all he is motivating and is on your side to help you achieve your goals. Down 18 pounds, I developed new habits and a renewed lifestyle. I'm just getting started!!! #youbfit
Wallace is consistent and will make sure you are doing what you suppose to do. However, you gotta put the work in!!!
Wallace will keep you accountable if you are serious about your health. And he encourages you to push yourself to get the rewards. He is always available to speak with you through your difficulties. HE IS THE BEST!!! #youbfit
Exercises are easy to follow and if unsure of how to perform an exercise the video is there to help you. Easy communication.
