Easy and convenient
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.
Excellent vegan coaching
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!
Overpriced, Poor Customer Service, No Results
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.
My GCA experience over the past year
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!
Loving who I'm becoming
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!
Life changing
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.
10 Fit Vegan Stars!
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.
A best investment, for sure.
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.
This Program Got Me to The Best Me Ever and Pretty Damn Quickly
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.
Vegan lifestyle opens my eyes
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.
Awesome coaching
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
excellent
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…
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!
It’s like being the movie star of my own life :))
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. :))
the best chance to become a better fit vegan
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.
I just feel so much better and am excited to continue getting stronger in body and mind.
I joined Game Changers earlier this year when I was feeling stuck in a cycle of starting to work out and then quitting shortly after. I felt like I needed extra support and motivation to get and stay engaged with a healthier lifestyle change. I wanted to be stronger in order to help with some lower back pain and just for overall health and wellbeing. I was a little nervous about the investment in the program because of my history of not being consistent but what I came to realize is that because the program provided me with a great coach, loads of content, several live calls a week, and a community of people in the same boat, it would be easy to stay the course. I also started seeing results pretty quickly and that has been so motivating too! I've gained muscle definition, feel stronger, my lower back pain has improved a lot, and I feel like I have more energy and am more toned. What all those things have given me is more confidence, more awareness of what I eat and how it affects my body and energy levels, and a lifestyle that includes consistent workouts and lots of walking. I just feel so much better than before starting and am excited to continue getting stronger in body and mind. I would highly recommend the program with Fritz and his amazing team! 💪🏼

I’ve always been skeptical of anything on social media, but I came across Fritz’s page and started following. When he reached out and asked me questions about my vegan journey, I wasn’t sure where the conversation would lead. I’d gone to a nutritionist and they didn’t listen to my needs, told me I needed to start eating meat again. Starting to follow Fritz and joining GameChangers has changed my life! I’ve been able to start my vegan journey with great meal plans and coaching. I’ve seen positive results and am so glad I joined!!
Zac Gentle Review
The support I have received in this program has been fantastic, they have been very understanding and accommodating of the challenges I face as a shift worker and have been happy to help. The encouragement I have received about my progress has also been a great thing to hear. The food and the workouts are great and it’s got me on track to likely be in the best physical health of my life
Not for long term success - and not for me
I hate to write bad reviews - but this is one that I feel needs to be written to warn others. This is a really big investment and you trust that you will get personalized - scientific based coaching for a vegan lifestyle. Instead you get group coaching with a meal plan that based on protein powders and fake meats. They insist you bump up your protein to very high levels, mainly so that you look good in a picture, not for your health and well-being. Protein powders and fake meats are not a long term solution to health with little evidence (except anecdotal) they insist. I followed the program exactly as prescribed for 10 weeks and although I told them my goals were to get leaner and eat cleaner and get back into running, the program was based on high protein and workouts that made running workouts difficult - with little progress. Once I stopped following their plan and ate and exercised based on the goals that I had thought they understood - I saw great progress and am much happier eating veggies again!
I never heard from Fritz, so I cannot speak about him directly. My direct personal trainer was a great guy, but I paid a lot of money for just a great guy. I expected more.
This program is for anyone that has never dieted, never exercised, and is willing to to do a program that lacks research. I do not think this is a scam, I really believe that they think their anecdotal approach will work for most - and that is good enough. Just not for me.

Investment in my long-term health
I came into the program with a wish to grow strength and find a way of living healthily long-term. My family has a history of not only cardiac issues but also back problems, and I could actually feel my back starting to act up. I have been active in various ways before, mostly within horseback riding, and have previously been "used" to feeling strong, but that was now many years ago and I hadn't worked out in a long time. I was also at my heaviest weight ever.
The first thing I noticed after joining was my energy returning. I have a highly intense work situation, where I would come home late from work, completely drained, and fall asleep before dinner. My "brain fogginess" was the first thing that I noticed, it disappeared after just a few weeks.
The second thing was the bloating, which also went away very quickly after going on this program. I have been vegan for several years, and always had a bloating issue. That is now gone, along with my back issues.
Overall I have, close to 6 months in, lost 16 kgs (appx 30 pounds), gained SO much strength, learned a lot about how to manage my food intake. I find the recipes good and varied, and I don't feel restricted at all. I eat a LOT! And I feel really strong.
The program is a really big investment, but I see it as just that - investment in my own health. And I have been very careful to follow the program, every day. After soon completing the first phase I will continue with the second phase to secure my really long-term habits and learn even more.
