Gigo (Gilian) – Coach (OmTwiins)

I went vegan in 2011 and never looked back. Fitness and veganism have been my passions ever since, and I’ve spent years coaching others to reach their full potential. My approach is more than just fitness—we dive deep into mindset work, healing, and building strong habits. If you’re ready to transform your life inside and out, I’m prepared to help you every step of the way.

Amber Richards – Coach

Hi, I’m Amber, a WBFF Bikini Pro, twin mom, and dedicated vegan for the last ten years. Growing up in small-town Nebraska on a traditional diet, I faced severe digestive issues that led me to discover plant-based living. It not only transformed my health but also opened my eyes to the environmental and ethical benefits of this lifestyle. I’m passionate about showing others how to thrive on a plant-based diet while balancing fitness, family, and self-care. My journey has been about proving that you can build a muscular, athletic physique on plants—and I’m here to help you do the same.
Marshall Fent – Coach

I was once living the fast-paced life of a DJ—late nights, big crowds, and many unhealthy choices. But when I discovered veganism, everything changed. Despite battling Spondylo Arthritis, I found a way to train smarter, build strength, and live pain-free.

I’m here to show you that no challenge is too big when you have the right mindset and support. Let’s get stronger together.

Will Brooks – Coach
After a spinal injury left me nearly incapacitated, I had to rebuild my body from the ground up. Going vegan was the turning point that not only helped me recover but also pushed me to become stronger than I ever was before. My passion is helping others overcome obstacles and achieve what they never thought possible. Your past doesn’t define your future—let’s rewrite your story together.

My name is Julian, CEO of the Jacked Vegans Academy.

And I’m here to tell you that you NOT ONLY can build your most badass, fittest and healthiest physique on a plant-based diet.
