I joined Game Changer Academy just over 3 months ago. I was very overweight and my last set of bloodwork (2019) came back with some concerning results. Pre diabetic, higher cholesterol…all the regular stuff that comes with being heavy. After 3 months working with GCA, I went to get my annual checkup with my doctor and my bloodwork results had all improved. I was down 20lbs and I was no longer pre diabetic. Needless to say, my doctor was very pleased with the results. GCA has been a lot of work, but is really paying off. I can move around and not get as tired. Working with the team at GCA has been incredible. My coach is always there providing support and helpful tips. The difference with GCA is that it’s not some diet fad. The team really wants to help you get healthy by helping change to a vegan lifestyle.

I highly recommend Game Changer Academy if you want to become vegan and improve your overall health.

I highly recommend GCA
I feel like they saved my life.
Before I joined I had so many wishes for my health. I wanted to be strong healthy have endurance. But with so much mixed recommendations out there it was hard to know where to start and what was right.
Then when I became vegan 3 years ago it was again so much information. But where did I fit among with all these recommendations?
After seeing nutritionist I starting understanding how to eat balanced but then it was hard to put my health first while working and looking after my family.
I kept giving up.
I noticed Fritz program and a few other coaches on Instagram but his message really resonated with me. I found myself drifting a lot to his page over others and thought what have i got to lose.
I knew how to start but needed help sticking to the goals I wanted so badly for my health.
I’m so proud to say I’ve now been in the program for 6 months. I reached my goals by three! And am now focusing on my mind and setting a permanent lifestyle change. While creating new goals I never thought I could reach!
The information I have gained and learnt in this time has totally changed my life. I understand the importance of consistency my hormones my metabolism.
Having my amazing coach Chiara guide and educate me. I have never had a personal trainer with so much understanding of the human body and I’ve had a few over the years!
My workouts are designed around what I had at home but yes I did have to invest in some equipment as I am lifting 4times what I started with!
The team support with other members is so valuable. Also a stand out is many weekly lives with all the coaches, allowing us to gain their knowledge and areas they specialize in. Plus guest speakers like gastroenterologists to talk about the importance of gut health. We could ask questions. This was very special to me as where I’m from to speak to a specialist is very $$$ and waits list are huge!
GCA has helped teach me to have a balance in my life. That it’s ok to put my health first. That it actually is good for my children to see me getting strong and it made us closer because I had more energy and could keep up with them. We now gravitate towards doing outdoor activities together.
Something my coach shared with me that really touched my heart was,
self confidence is keeping promises to yourself!
I had broken so many promises to myself that I no longer trusted myself.
I’m deeply proud that I have kept this promise to myself. I know this program will set me up to continue to keep those promises so I can continue to be the best me for myself and the ones I love the most.

My situation/ background: I’ve been a vegetarian for about 15 years. I decided to go vegan about 1 Year Ago. Throughout this time I’ve cycled through various phases of health and eating approaches (strict vegetarian, keto, intermittent fasting, prolonged fasting, keto vegan, pasta-tarian, pizza-tarian… you name it!)

I reached a point where I relay wasn’t sure what worked anymore. I had vilified so many food and had too many restrictions. It was not sustainable nor enjoyable.

This is what brought me to seek out help. I found game changers on my instagram feed and began watching their videos and looking at testimonials. Finally, I decided to give them a try. Now, probably important for you to know that this was a big step for me! I typically don’t ask for help in anything!

The program:
The program is very well put together and focuses on diet, exercise and mindset. This is all couched in a system that fosters fellowship and encouragement.

Meal plans, exercise plans, tracking mechanisms, weekly 1:1 coaching, and continuously scheduled Interactive group Video conference calls are all included.

The results (so far!)
I’m about 1/2 way into the option I chose ( six month program ) and have gone from 200lbs down to about 172lbs. Better yet, I’ve learned what works for my diet, how to track my macros and it feels sustainable. Similarly, the workout plans have built back up the tracking mechanism to steadily improve my fitness.

Punchline:
Sometimes you can’t do it alone. Having a coach can make all the difference. I would not have found a sustainable approach without the steady guidance from my coach. I did not see results right away… I briefed… because my metabolism needed a reset and needed to recalibrate to a constant calorie and macro profile.

I’m happy I joined and I’d recommend it to others.

Super helpful in streamlining the maintenance of my health, especially given how busy being a full time student is. Laura and Chazz have been so helpful and accommodating to my constantly changing health. Through every struggle and challenge that came up, both of them were so helpful and made adjustments throughout the program. I highly highly recommend gamechangers!

I’ve been in the game changer academy for 7 months now and it’s been a life changing event. Before the program my diet was all over the place, I didn’t have a work out routine, I felt poorly about my body, and I lacked direction and discipline. I have watched my body change so much during this program. I feel so much better about myself and I have learned how to eat properly and work out with a purpose. Having a coach really keeps me on track and engaged in the program. He is extremely helpful and supportive. This program showed me that there is no better time than now to make the changes you need to succeed. I’ve never felt so good about myself, this is the strongest I’ve ever been.

Its been a very convenient, efficient and stream lined experience. I had fears that it may not work out for me but the ease of it all baffled me. Getting everything in one place ie in the app is necessary to review things on the go and keep you prepared for the next session and the next meal. Its taken the stress away.

I’ve had an amazing experience with Fritz and his team. I was originally just going to join to do a quick cut for a few months but I decided to stay on until at least the end of the year because the program has been so valuable. With the help of Fritz’s team I was able to quickly achieve my weight loss goals and I’m now back to building muscle. I’m thrilled with how my body looks and feels. Love the meal plans and the coaches. I feel that my coach is very on top of my training, nutrition, and health. I get feedback almost daily (even weekends). 10/10 recommend!

I was super excited when I started the program.

2 weeks in and the scale went up. I had gained weight- body fat, not muscle. Which was obviously not what I expected.

I had followed my meal plan 100% and exercise plan 70-80%. I got my 10.000 steps in every day. The gym closed soon after I started the program because of Covid and the home workouts just didn’t do it for me.

When I raised concerns with my assigned coach about the for me unexpected weight gain, I was just encouraged to be patient and maintain everything as is and that it might take some time for weight loss to happen. The weight gain was somewhat normalised as a side effect of ‘firing up your metabolism’. Even though there was no prior assessment of my metabolism done by anyone to actually determine the overall functionality of my metabolism. It was just a general assumption that this was probably the reason.

The entire program felt that way- very generalised and one size fits all, not really tailored specifically to the individual person and their circumstances.

My coach was very friendly and responsive via text Monday to Friday, however I felt lacked in-depth knowledge on the physiology/ science of weight loss and how to properly troubleshoot the unexpected curve balls like my situation, to get me on the road to successful weight loss.

When I looked up my coach on Linked in to find out what type of nutrition and fitness training she had completed to become a Fitness coach- there were none listed! I wish I would have asked more detailed questions about the entire program a lot earlier.

What originally made me go ahead with this program was the weight loss results that Fritz keeps posting on his Instagram account and the claims to lose weight successfully when you follow his vegan coaching program. I just trusted that and hired ‘the expert’ to get me the results that Fritz advertises. In the end, I became the expert myself and took matters into my own hands as I felt I was more capable of achieving my weight loss goals more efficiently by myself, rather than having Fritz and his coaches on my team.

In the end, I was not satisfied with the answer from my coach to maintain everything as is and to just keep going with things as they are cause the scale kept going up! I signed up for the program to achieve the results that Fritz advertises on his socials and not to have my hand held and be babysat on the road to failure.

So I started researching everything weight loss myself to find the answers and solutions that I was looking for and that my coach was unable to give to me and decided to change my protocol around myself. Again, I was hoping my coach would have been proactive in their approach to doing that, but they did not. I hired a coach to get results faster. But this couldn’t have been further from the truth for me in this program!

Finally, a bit of weight started coming off with the changes that I myself had implemented.

During that time Fritz was nowhere to be seen until I personally made contact with him. In my dealings with Fritz he has displayed very poor business etiquette, for example not replying to messages even though he may have initiated a conversation or a conversation was still ongoing and there was no reply for days. Numerous times claiming he didn’t see the messages. Absolutely not what I expected from a high-end ticket program owner!

I decided to leave the program prematurely after 5 weeks (I originally had signed up for 3 months) because the program was just so unhelpful for me on so many levels. Weight gain, lack of troubleshooting concerns, poor customer service from Fritz himself…

Fritz was initially resistant to provide a partial refund, however in the end he did and I appreciated that.

After I left the program I lost weight quite swiftly, 20kg in 6 months and successfully kept it off.

I expected the ‘Mercedes of vegan coaching programs’ as Fritz describes it on his webpage. It was very far from that. And completely overpriced too for what is offered. $3000 for 3 months ‘coaching’- 1 meal plan for 6 weeks, 1 workout schedule via trainerize, 1 coaching call per month with your coach, ongoing text message contact via trainerize Monday to Friday and weekly Q&A’s with Fritz.

I hate to say it because I am sure Fritz has good intentions, but I can not recommend this program at all.

Before joining GCA, I had been working out regularly in the gym. However, I felt like a fish out of water, flip flopping around the gym, not knowing what to do to achieve the results I wanted. I had been living a plant based lifestyle for about 3 years and so I began searching Instagram for fit vegan coaches. I came across Fritz’s page and really liked what I saw. Between his nutrition page, GCA results page, and his personal page, he was living the lifestyle he was preaching. I shot him a DM in Instagram and here I am. I am more confident in going to the gym alone, now having a structured workout plan for every workout is so great. I have increased the amount of weight I am able to lift and noticing physique changes constantly throughout my body. My traps are becoming defined, my biceps and triceps are showing. My thighs and legs look so much leaner and toned. I constantly get compliments from my family and friends on the progress I’m making. It’s an amazing feeling every time someone compliments me! I highly recommend giving Fritz and his team a try. Invest in yourself and you will never regret that!

I've never felt more energized, stronger and confident in my LIFE!, all these is thanks to my consistency with the program, to my coach Nils and all the coaches in GCA, they have gave me the necessary tools to understand my body and unlock my potencial, as well the beautiful community in the program that to me are family, this is only the beginning, the best is yet to come!

Being part of the GCA has been life changing - I felt supported by coaches who were genuinely interested in my growth and who were amazing sources of inspiration. By body feels stronger than ever and I feel empowered through all the credible information the team has imparted.

I’ve been in Fritz’s program for almost 6 months and seen incredible results! Before starting I struggled to get back in the routine of eating well and working out. I knew I needed accountability and I was worried this was going to be a flash in the pan without sustainable results. I also was concerned that having online coaching would not be effective. 5 1/2 months later and my body composition has completely transformed, I’m 26 pounds down and gaining muscle! Best of all, it’s enhanced my confidence and built life lasting habits that keep me in solid daily routines. Routines keep me on my game in all aspects and I’ve been able to build sustainable habits around my businesses. My coach has been supportive and knowledgeable about how to switch things up when I have hit plateaus. The weekly live calls are fun and informative. The meal plans are easy to create and delicious. I would recommend this program to anyone who is ready to level up their fitness and mindset.

I found Fritz on Instagram and said yes quickly because his program checked all the boxes for me. I’m so glad I did! Best investment I’ve made in a very long time.

I’ve been very impressed with Fritz’s coaching methods and those of the team that work with him (especially my personal coach, Chiara, who consistently uplifts and encourages me with her impressive knowledge and training to go above-and-beyond for my unique needs.) I’m learning about healthful, vegan nutrition and fitness in a way I was not exposed to prior to joining. Their approach is balanced, sustainable and accessible and designed specifically for the individual, regardless of whether the client is a novice or advanced in plant-based eating and exercise protocols. Each Coach on his team is extremely well-educated and thoughtful in their guidance, knowing this health and weight loss journey is deeply personal. Fritz attracts members from across the globe and I love being a part of such a great mix of people that are living intentionally.

Fritz’s Coaching program has me exercising every day now (which is exactly what I needed,) tracking my macro nutrients (which is incredibly eye-opening and fun) and preparing and eating food I know my body will thrive on (in exactly the best proportion for my goals.) I feel very supported and fortunate that the guess work has been removed and I don’t have to do it alone.

Highly recommended; seriously, do not hesitate. What you’ll get in return will ultimately be priceless.

Before I took on Fritz Horstmann coaching I felt I was relatively fit because I am a surfer who also does yoga. But I also knew that I was drinking too much and I was starting to experience quite a bit of lower back pain from repetitive stress. I also knew deep down that I was nowhere near as fit as I could be. I have some friends in surfing that have those "miracle bodies" -- they eat whatever they want and are shredded -- and I was always jealous of them. I noticed extra weight on my hips and lower stomach that seemed would never come off with any diet trick I tried. But I had not tried all the tricks! I hadn't been vegan since my 20s and I had never hired a coach. Also in May 2022 I went for a yearly physical and got a scary cholesterol report of 275 points. I had to go back to the doctor 10 days later so I went vegan (w/out coaching) and my next reading was 180! Nearly 100 points in 10 days. Then I knew I was going to stick with veganism for good, but I didn't want to make the mistakes I made in the past so I found Fritz.
When I had the call with Fritz I was scared about spending the money but the team put it in great context. This was an investment in my life and my health that would have great rewards (physical, emotional, financial) in the future. It's an investment in your overall well being. I knew I was stuck and the initial call helped reveal that to me. I decided to take the plunge and I couldn't be happier for it. I officially started in June 2022. When I started I weighed 150 lbs. But in May before going vegan I was 153. It's now August and I'm at around 137-139. I just turned 42 years old and have a very defined 6 pack abs which makes me proud every time I look down. I have tons of energy. Eat all of the time, everything I want (it turns out what I want is to hit my macros because that is what feels best). The workouts are varied and rewarding. My personal coach, Nathan, has been nothing but supportive and awesome, always giving great tips, advice, and support. I am not quite ready to go it on my own and am looking forward to my next year of coaching. I don't want to lose these great results I've gained so quickly. I would recommend this program to anyone who is ready to become the best version of themselves. I also believe that everyone wants to be the best version of themselves, but that there's a lot standing in the way of them actualizing their potential. If you can, brush that to the side and get on this program. If you follow all the guidelines you WILL get results. And "following the guidelines" is pretty darn easy if you make a commitment to care for yourself. It turns out the "right choices" with your time and your money are the ones that make you feel the best you've ever felt. Another upshot is that this diet also prevents and even reverses diseases, lessens global warming, and is ultimately better for our bodies and planet on the whole. Get involved.

I was a vegetarian and now i know how to be a vegan with all of the benefits. I now know how to train and create results.

This coaching really is awesome. The coaches have a lot of knowledge and you really learn from the basics to more advanced. They encourage you to give your best and therefore also meet and exceed your goals. I know now exactly what to do meet my future targets. What was very important to me was being able to create my own meal plans and now i am capable of that. Also the workout/gym plans they create are specific for you. This allows you to get the shape yoi always wanted.

Thank you for everything

Great guidance
Tailored training programme
Food plan is creative and tasty - i dont feel hungry and I m losing weight.
Wonderful supportive community
Pre recorded and quality videos that explain fitness concepts. Great education.

I reached out to Fritz and his team after watching one of his transformation clients videos. At the time, I was 3 months post partum and was ready to start my fitness journey after being a first-time mom.
I was fearful that due to being post partum, my body would not work the same as it once did. A lot more sensitive areas, like my lower back for example. There was no strength in my body as I just did one of the strongest physical activity a human could possibly do.

I wasn’t necessarily worried that I wouldn’t lose weight but building muscle has always been a concern of mine since going vegan 6 years ago. So I needed someone to coach me on how to do that. How to build muscle. How to eat right when vegan. Educate me. Instead of searching on Pinterest or reading book after book.
In the last 9 months of being part of the GCA, I have lost over 12 pounds with only 3 pounds to go to get to my goal weight.
I have abs and that’s after having my child. I lost most if not all of my cellulite behind my legs and below my buttocks, one of my insecure areas.
Besides the physical aspects. Nutrition wise I have learned over the months how to look at a plate of food and determine what I’m missing or over consuming based on my macros. That was a result of tracking meals consistently. Although at times the meal tracking felt so overwhelming, it has completely paid off.
This program has helped build my confidence in so many ways. Physically, emotionally, nutritionally, you name it. The list goes on.
I would recommend this program to anyone. I constantly try to get my family members on it. Hopefully one day they can also jump on the GCA bandwagon.
Thank you GCA team!

I’ve never been participating in such a program. And I am so very grateful for all the coaches and especially my coach Chiara, that I can restart my life after moving to a new city and recovering from a divorce-beginning.
After 3 months I feel so much more balanced and full of healthy motivation. I love the meals I’m learning and the feeling how strong I’m becoming with every workout and 10k walks. <3
I’m learning a lot about balanced mindset as well and how to overcome my fears and challenges in my life. It is somehow like being a movie star of my life (changing from a tragicomedy to an adventures comedy). :D Thank you so much! I’m excited about the next 3 months and hopefully I can continue after that as well. :))

before joining Game Changer academy i was always dissatisfied and mentally tired. between diets and tedious workouts i could never reach my goals and would give up halfway through.
I was hesitant at first but thought "let's try this one too" and the result? boom, shocking!
Not only did I learn how to create colourful, delicious and nutritious meals, but I also discovered the pleasure of training consistently. the coaches (especially Chiara) are extraordinary and always ready to encourage you in the dark moments, plus the work on the mindset has changed the way I deal with bad days without ruining all the work done.
i've lost 12kg since i started the course in february, my journey is not over yet and knowing that i have this support though spurs me on to see where i can go and what a wonderful version of myself i can become.
to anyone who is hesitant about trying the path i only have one thing to say: try it and you will thank yourself for doing it.
