Working with Jeff has been an education.

Working with Jeff has been an education. Counting macros, steps and checking off work out days which he monitored via an app and customized for me turned into a fun experiment where I learned about myself physically. I now eat in a way that is delicious and still meet my goals. He motivated through inspiration and reflection of my own experience. Jeff's a good hearted human with a lot of skill in coaching and eating as a vegan. And practical results - I'm seeing muscles in places I thought would not return!! And I've dropped weight at a healthy rhythm for my body. I recommend coach Jeff!

Plant Based Fitness & Nutrition Coaching at its best!

The experience with the team at Vegan Coaching has far exceeded my expectations.

The commitment by Fritz and Coach Jeff has been spot on from the initial intro calls to the actual implementation of customized work outs and plant based meal plans.

Recently had to travel for a week and was provided a workout plan that was based on the hotel gym equipment. Small details such as this make the difference.

The plant based meal plans (plenty of variety) have added a little extra fun to getting my health on track.

I highly recommend VEGANCOACHING to anyone in the plant based community who is looking to take their health & longevity to the next level. 2 👍🏻👍🏻 up!!

Game Changer!! Definitely Recommend this program 👍

I was following Fritz on Instagram for quite awhile before joining the Vegan Coaching program. I’ve been vegan for almost 5 years, and was at a point where I was becoming increasingly frustrated with my own attempts at building an effective workout routine. I was working out, but not really seeing the results that I was hoping for, and was gaining weight. I had tried an online program in the past, but it felt very restrictive in terms of calories, was not vegan focused or individualized, so I was hesitant to try another program and even put it off for awhile before reaching out for more information. The Vegan Coaching Program has turned out to be not only amazing, but exactly what I needed. The workouts are tailored to my abilities, and I’ve built a lot of awareness around my calorie intake, protein intake, and how much I am moving during the day. Not only has it been eye opening, but I’ve increased my step count and the amount of food I eat daily. Shortly after I started the program I had an unexpected surgery that required exercise restrictions during my recovery time and Coach Jeff was able to work with my restrictions to still create goals for me to target throughout the week, and adjust my workouts as I recovered. Currently I’m completing 3 workouts a week and not only have I watched my weight decrease, I’ve noticed a big difference in my sleeping patterns, physical strength, my body shape, and the way my clothes fit. I’ve even noticed a difference in my strength and abilities since returning to activities I did regularly prior to my surgery. The check-ins with your coach, the group chat, and the regular podcasts are also a great bonus to sustain engagement. If you’re looking for a vegan focused program that helps you build sustainable habits and significant results over time, this is definitely it.

Truly holistic approach at fitness

I was struggling to understand how to balance protein and carbohydrates as a vegan, usually you default to legumes for protein but in my case I was not considering them as carbohydrate sources too. Also I was going to the gym doing routines provided by the gym staff or my own combinations but not really something focused or personalized. It is great to have the expert guidance and continued support from coach Jeff, many of these questions about nutrition and workout techinique have been made clear with his help. After a few months in the program I feel stronger, not just physically but in knowledge, confidence and in my purpose to keep strong for a long long time to keep up with a 6 years old girl. I have found few great resources as a vegan, and this is one of the top.

Vegan Coaching Done Right

Prior to joining my wife and I were pretty fed up with how we treated our bodies and felt helpless to resolve the issue. It honestly felt like a runaway train and serious disease or death felt like that was the only unfortunate way the momentum was going to stop.
Emotionally we knew we needed to do something, but didn't feel equipped properly to resolve which is tough to admit. We were also hesitant to join or ask for help and receive inappropriate or bad advice and help. Cost was another daunting factor.
Coaching with Jeff helped us achieve over 30 lbs joint loss in 2 months. We are noticing our clothes fitting looser, our profiles more muscular and less thick as well. It's encouraging to consider what another several months of this coaching is going to yield.
We are beginning to feel the health benefits of this, our confidence is much higher. Our relationship with food is much healthier and while we are not ever perfect, Jeff is always there for encouragement and ideas for improvement. We are now drawn to veggie options when out and away from home. We feel this isn't as impossible to accomplish as we and others around us tend to believe. Our careers changed slightly this summer, but this coaching has helped maintain proper mental attitudes in regards to that too.
I feel like we are beginning to develop lasting habits and communication amongst one another that was previously strained especially in regards to meal planning, shopping, cooking, etc.
To anyone who is potentially on the fence about Vegan Health Coaching, know that with expert and tailored experience like Jeff provides it's highly recommended to give this a chance. If cost is something that makes you hesitant, I challenge you to calculate what your meals out and unhealthy choices might currently or potentially cost you in the future.

Working with Jeff and vegancoaching.com has honestly changed my life

I went vegan 6 months ago, mostly for health reasons but also for the animals. I've never been overweight but the last 2 years I've felt soft, struggling to build muscle and stay lean. Working with Jeff and vegancoaching.com has honestly changed my life.

Not only has he helped me through the lifestyle transition (navigating the social situations as a vegan - everyone becomes a dietitian when you mention you're vegan!) but he's built me a plan that's sustainable. I eat more now than I ever have, I eat the foods I enjoy, as well as eating out at restaurants.

My workouts are tough but I feel amazing after them and Jeff is super responsive. He's truly invested in my journey.

I'm 2 months into a 4 month plan. My body fat has dropped from 20% to 15% and my weight has remained stable (132-135lb) which is exactly what I wanted; shed the fat, but re-build the weight with muscle.

I now have the body I always dreamed of and I'm only scratching the surface. This program has changed my mindset. I walk 10k steps a day religiously, I workout 5x week and have more energy than I've had in years.

Invest in yourself and your health, as its the most valuable asset you have.

Thank you Jeff and vegancoaching.com!

10+ yr vegan / gym goer learns something new

Before joining VCA / Green Fit Club I was in decent physical shape. I had good consistent gym habits in place, and I did not eat the standard American diet. I have been mostly vegan for 10+ years. However, I did not have the nutritional knowledge to support my fitness goals. I had never paid attention to macros and as a vegan, my protein intake was too low to support the weight lifting I wanted to do and the muscle I wanted to build. After joining the program, learning to lift with intensity, and adjusting my nutrition per the guidelines of my amazing coach Marta, I really started to see progress in all my lifts. I've been building muscle, seeing definition in my back, shoulders, chest, arms, and abs. I can feel big changes in my legs and glutes too, and I'm looking forward to seeing additional changes there - and with this program and the guidance of my coach, I know I will.
What I'm really excited about, in addition to the physical changes, are the skills I'm developing to fuel and nourish my body. Since joining the program, my calorie intake has only increased, and I continue to see body recomposition (losing fat and gaining muscle). I would not have been able to accomplish this on my own as I would not have known when to and how much to increase my calories. Also, I was not doing progressive overload effectively.
I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their fitness, particularly if you are vegan, vegetarian, or a flexible eater. I would recommend listening to Fritz's podcast "Plant-based Fitness Secrets Podcast" to get a flavor of the support and accountability this program offers. It is an investment, but so many members have experienced invaluable changes in their health and lifestyles that will impact them for the rest of their lives. The three pronged approach of resistance training, correct and personalized nutrition, and accountability to make this a lifestyle/identity is a recipe for a permanent change.

Transformative Nutrition Coaching: Achieving Couple and Individual Goals with Marta and Fritz

My wife and I approached Fritz (and Marta, our coach) with the difficult challenge of giving us a plan that would work for both as a couple, but that would individually help us meet our goals. Marta, the coach we got assigned to, took on this challenge really seriously and helped us along the way, with a keen emphasis on helping us learn the tools we both needed. We had excellent and measurable results, only after four months of working with them. We only used the nutrition coaching part of the programme. It is important to note we had our own regime at the gym. I know Fritz has the option for this, but we cannot comment about this.

Before joining this program

Before joining this program, I was completely lost. I’d start trying to be healthier and would fall of the wagon almost immediately. I was tired a lot, couldn’t keep up with my son and just had this mental weight everyday of when is my life going to change? I was afraid that I wouldn’t stick to it especially being something that I’m paying for; and I was afraid to fail because really I had no where else to turn. I was scared it would be extremely difficult and not fit into my crazy lifestyle (toddler life!) BUT I WAS SO WRONG. I wish I would’ve started sooner. I don’t know why this program isn’t popping up everywhere but it should be! In 2 months my relationship with food has completely changed, I’m still able to eat foods that I love but I can rearrange my meal plan and still lose weight ! I’ve gone down a size & got rid of all my hobo clothes, and am finally able to keep up with my son! The best part is I don’t feel hungry or tired, my body got used to this plan probably about 2 weeks after starting but my coach Marta was so supportive and helped me get myself accustomed and I’m just so lucky to have her as my coach!

I highly recommend this program, don’t even think twice. If you do what they say, you will meet your goals! If I can do it with my crazy schedule and being a SAHM to a toddler, then it’s possible!

Just great!!

My experience with Marta and the game changer team was a success! I had been vegan for 7 years already, but I was struggling with my body image. Through Marta's meal and fitness plan I gained not only some muscles, but most importantly a lot ;) of self confidence! Although the program prices are not for everyone, I'd encourage everyone to at least try it, you won't be disappointed! Thank you, it was great, and see you soon! ❤💪🤩🌱

I have really enjoyed my time in the program

I have really enjoyed my time in the program. Before I joined I had reached my heaviest and didn’t feel like myself or comfortable in my own skin. I wasn’t sure how to change that on my own and without accountability. I was hesitant to trust an online company but it turned out to be great! Through the year and a half I was in the program I have lost weight and gained muscle. But more than that I feel better in my clothes and spend less time stressing about how I’ll look in certain outfits. The confidence I achieved working with the different coaches and lastly with Marta has been dramatic. I have gained habits that I can sustain for the rest of my life that make me feel like the best version of myself. I would definitely recommend the program to anyone who is wanting to work with a trainer, have help with plant based nutrition, and lifestyle changes along the way!

Before joining this program I tried…everything!

Before joining this program I tried everything including HIIT classes and extreme dieting of 900 calories a day. Just before joining I “thought” I was doing everything right including hitting high protein goals but my weight just kept getting higher so bit the bullet and talked to Fritz who set me up with Marta. What a difference! With Marta’s help I started losing weight right away and consistently which I have never been able to do before. She gives me lots of needed information so I understand the process and is very encouraging. She is in constant contact and monitors my numbers all of the time to see if things need to be changed. This is the first time I have been able to eat this many calories and lose weight which is a huge relief. Starvation dieting is not fun. I’m only half way through and have lost a fair amount of weight but what’s incredible are the inches that are falling off. At first I couldn’t stand looking at the weekly photos but now when I compare week one to now it’s a remarkable difference. Besides the weight/inches lost, I have slept so much better since starting this program. I feel much stronger already and have relearned how to eat - it’s not just optimizing protein but eating differently. I couldn’t do it without Marta. I am regularly contacting her with questions about diet and exercises and she responds very quickly and is lovely to speak with. If you’re thinking about joining, stop thinking and join already! I wish I had done this a long time ago and saved myself years of messing around with crap diets and exercise.

I joined the program in the worst…

I joined the program in the worst health situation. With obesity, PCOS, insulin resistance, with gastrointestinal issues and newly detected gallstones. In addition to all that situation diagnosed anxiety and depression, as well as eating disorders. I made this investment and it was incredibly helpful, not only because of the program, more the support from Marta and having her. In the couple of months i have been in the program, i lost fat, gain muscle energy and most importa happiness. And continue learning to be patient with my self.

Terrific Progress

I've been training for years, but couldn't lose that last 10 pounds of stubborn fat. I knew I need some help. I linked-up with Fritz and liked his approach (a little tough but also compassionate).

My coach Nathan did a great job of understand my current training & diet so that he could design a program that was right for me. His program wasn't radical or crazy, it was just different. He stuck a good balance of familiarity and newness so that I got off to a good start.

After 10 weeks about half way to my goal weight & I feel terrific. Nathan I continue to talk and my program continues to evolve.

I feel like I'm on the right path & that I've got someone who will continue to guide me down that path!

8 weeks into my program and I'm seeing the most rapid strength gains I have ever experienced. My coach Nathan has done an incredible job of taking my existing training and dietry preferences and tweaked them to be far more efficient than I was achieving on my own. The support and encouragement have been very much appreciated also!

More than professional and good people

I was vegan some years ago. Because of some family problems, I had to stopped my diet and "taking care of myself"
I'm a teacher and single father with two special needs children, and apart from that I took care of my parents too.

Since pandemic time my family situation was even worst. My children mental health made them to be aggressive.

After we "receive help" from public prosecutor's office, they started receiving mental treatments.

My mental health was destroyed. I did not have any self-esteem, I was depressed,...

I tried several times to enroll with Frizt, but it couldn't be possible.

A year ago I started with a dietitian. I lost some kilos and begining to eat with less anxiety. I used to eat lot of vegetables but just very little fruits, and some "plants" tablets.

New Year 2024 was my starting point to my change.
I talked to Frizt and enroll Frizt Horstmann's Vegan Coaching.
Frizt and his professional team have been always very close to my needs, my situation,...

At the beginning I felt afraid of failing, full of doubts,...

I've been training at home since January 3rd. In this time I've lost nearly 10 kilos. I can move more and better. I feel more alive, motivated and full of energy.
I've found a way out for the anxiety and stress with the walks and workouts.

I already know it us just the start point because the more I do, the more I want to be better and better.

I definitely recommend you all to enroll, not only for your health, but for the animals and the planet. This team is much more than professional and good people.

I'm really happy to have found this…

I'm really happy to have found this program. I hadn't many ideas of how to make a vegan diet with high protein work for me without just taking protein powder or the same food everyday. The program helped me to get the right macros to go on a cut while managing to keep my strength and then learn how to bulk properly. All that having a diet that worked for me and the support from my coach, Nathan who was there every time I needed it. I found my passion which is powerlifting shed some weight and gained strength and self confidence. So what not to like. Thanks a lot.
