Plant-Based Personal Training

Want to kickstart your nutrition and fitness goals on a plant-based diet but not sure where to begin?

You’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed! We’ve worked with hundreds of online and in-person clients who are looking for a coach to help them get moving in the right direction, without a long-term commitment or a big investment.

What makes us different from other coaches offering plant-based personal training?

  • Our focus is on whole foods – yes, even if your goal is to build muscle.
  • Our plans are truly custom. That means we consider preferences, allergies, and medical conditions. You will not get “tofu/fake meat with a side of steamed broccoli” meal plans from us, for example! Well, unless that’s your preference…
  • Our credentials and backgrounds. Among us we have multiple personal training and plant-based nutrition certifications, a medical degree and a PhD both nearing completion, Bachelors and Masters degrees focusing on human biology, published original research in nutrition and exercise, and a whole lot of in-person experience working with clients of all ages. Not just aspiring bodybuilders (although we’ve coached plenty of those, too – you might say we wrote the book on it). In fact, Derek is certified in corrective exercise, so we have a focus on body maintenance and injury prevention as well!

We offer a lot of free information for those who are motivated, but if you want some extra accountability and a sound grounding in the principles of plant-based nutrition and fitness before striking out on your own, we offer the following options:

  • Custom Meal Plans
  • Custom Workout Plans
  • Custom Meal + Workout Plans
  • 1 Hour Skype Coaching Session to Set Your Goal
  • 12 Weeks to Your Goal

Details for each option are below!

If there’s time and you’re game, we’ll even go over a food journal or two and make recommendations for improvement – something we do weekly for ongoing clients to keep them on track.

  • I just want someone to give me a 10min check-up every few days, maybe by phone or Skype, to check on my (weight loss) routine and progress e.g. ticking exercise routine, ticking eating routine, ticking stress relief routine. I find some encouragement and accountability helps especially with some coaching and advice. I'm not really into other people's plans though...

  • Hello,
    I'm interested in the meal plan/workout program but before I purchase I have a question..... I'm still nursing my son (who is 15 months) and plan to continue until he is 2. I only nurse part time but I'm interested to know if a plan could be created for me to help me lose fat and gain muscle? I'm currently working out 6 days a week (for the past 5 weeks) and I've been doing two 30 minute workouts a day (T-25 workout & HIIT sprints w/ a little wight lifting) but I'm not seeing much results. My diet has been pretty good overall but I'm sure it could use some work. I'm vegan. Any chance of some help?

  • Hey!

    Does your custom meal plan and workout program work if you are wanting a custom work out for home?

    Thanks!

  • I have trained with one of your members before and had an amazing experience. I would love to know when the soonest availability for online personal training will be ?

    Thank you,
    Tera
