Kelly’s experience

“Gemma made sure that there were quick and easy meals on my plan, as being a mum of four can require a quick meal at times. The meals have all been delicious! Paul has been on-hand to make sure that my form with my resistance training is spot-on, and his suggestions have made a big difference to targeting the right muscles. I am eager to continue to see results, and I am excited for a happier, healthier, fitter me."

I was given Paul’s details by a friend when I first went vegan and was told he’d help me get on the right path to making sure I’m getting enough from my diet to continue performing at a high level. I didn’t really know where to start as like most people, a meal wasn’t a meal without a bit of meat or fish on my plate. Paul gave me lots of helpful tips and information. He devised an eating plan to ensure I was getting the right amount of protein, carbs and fats from my diet. He made it a much easier transition for me and I haven’t looked back”

“Working with Paul and Gemma has been an incredible experience! Over four months of coaching, their weekly calls were always insightful and motivating. Their guidance helped me achieve amazing results. I went from 250 lbs to 225 lbs while gaining strength for my powerlifting meet, where I hit a new squat PR of 407 lbs! I’m so grateful for their support and expertise throughout the process. It’s been a transformative journey, and I’ve learned so much from them.”

“Working with Paul and Gemma was life-changing. After 10 years of trying different exercise and meal plans with mixed results, their pragmatic approach to whole-food, plant-based eating made it simple and enjoyable. I was never hungry or missing any flavor. More importantly, we worked on my behaviors and habits, leading to lasting changes. I could not be happier with the results.”

“5.5 months in and 3st 4lbs down all thanks to the assistance, guidance, knowledge and accountability held from paul and gemma. roll on 2025 where I will continue to smash it and be the best I can be”

— Casey

“I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for the amazing workout plan and meal plan, that has been 100% responsible for getting me back in shape, I wasn't sure it was possible but in the first call Paul said with supreme confidence I would get back in shape following your plan. I was hesitant based on what I was looking like, how wrong I was and how right he was!”

— Ben

"They are so supportive and are always on hand to answer any questions. Their combined knowledge has me feeling confident in a plan that is already bringing in results! Paul and Gemma tailor the plan to fit you and are supportive and motivating rather than strict and rigid."

— Kelly

I was overweight and it was getting worse, I needed help. Paul and Gemma are super friendly. Their strategy was not just to help me here and now, but give me everything I needed to do this by myself. The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner.

— Martin

“From day one, they created meal plans that fit my lifestyle, made weight training approachable, and supported me every step of the way. They didn’t just give me a plan—they invested in my success, answering questions, celebrating wins, and guiding me through the harder days.

Thanks to them, I’ve not only reached my weight loss goals but also built healthy, sustainable habits. I feel stronger, more confident, and in control of my health for the first time in years. Their dedication and genuine care have truly changed my life.”

“My experience with Paul and Gemma was well worth the investment. I had a goal of dropping 15lbs, while getting stronger and overall shaping up my health. All three goals were accomplished. Paul and Gemma are incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition, fitness and healthy living. We had great conversations weekly, where they helped me to stay on track, develop new skills and gain knowledge. I will take what I learned with me throughout my life.”

— Justin

“After years of trying everything and still struggling with my weight, Hench Herbivore truly felt like my last shot, and I’m so glad I took it. Paul and Gemma are incredible. They break everything down into simple, easy-to-follow lessons, and they’re always there if you need support or have questions. What really stood out to me is how flexible everything is, both the workouts and nutrition plan can be adapted to fit your lifestyle, which made it so much easier to stay consistent. I’ve safely dropped over 10kg, and the weight is still coming off. I also feel noticeably stronger in the gym, which has been a huge boost for my confidence. After the programme, I feel fully equipped with the knowledge and tools I need to keep going on my own.

    “Hench Herbivore made this transition easy, delicious, and positive. I thought I would miss foods or feel a hole in my social life and it has been the opposite. I have more food choices than I did before, more flavors, and more opportunities to explore better health. Nothing tastes as good as ethical feels.”

  • Brian

    “I think Paul and Gemma are awesome to work with.  The meals were all delicious, simple to prepare, and covered all my nutritional bases.  And the workouts were all tailored to the equipment I had available at home.  The calls were always informative and never felt rushed.  I really like what they do and how they do it so I definitely recommend the program.”

  • Caren

     “I felt comfortable with and supported by you both, which was a big part of why I could feel so positive about what I was doing, especially as a complete beginner to an exercise programme. I very much appreciate all the work you did for me personally, and the motivation you gave me throughout, which I will have well into the future.”

  • Dan

    “I lost two stone in less than 12 weeks and learned a wealth of information regarding nutrition, weight lifting , exercise and generally looking after my body and it has stuck as a permanent life change. I honestly have never felt so healthy. While the whole package and experience was very well put together and professional, Paul and Gemma are friendly and warm and genuinely care about my progress in the right way and long term health”

  • Dawn

    I didn't want another diet—I wanted to nourish my body and lose weight in a controlled, healthy way. I now exercise more than ever and enjoy cooking the tasty meals, knowing they contain exactly what I need. This program showed me there’s ALWAYS an alternative! Regular check-ins with Paul and Gemma kept me supported and challenged my thinking. So far, I’ve lost 9kg and am still going. Thank you both—you’re worth every penny!”

  • Charlie

    When I started with you in September, I felt weak and scrawny. I have gained 20 pounds and nothing around my waist. I am stronger and definitely gained muscle. Everyone I know says they see a big difference. They say that they can see the hard work I have put in. You guys brought sanity to my eating habits and a killer workout schedule that I still maintain today and will for months to come.

  • Fiona

    “My initial concern was the expense, I therefore considered it for a good year before committing. In that time, I tried again to lose weight. Nothing worked, I was confused and fed up and finally admitted that I was getting something wrong, stopped procrastinating and signed up. I’ve lost over ten kilograms in four months and have the skills to keep going to a healthy weight. I would recommend Paul and Gemma to anyone. Their dietary and motivational support throughout has been invaluable; it really has been a life changing and lifesaving experience and absolutely worth every penny. My only regret is that I didn’t sign up years ago!”

  • Tom

    “I truly appreciate all of the knowledge that both Paul and Gemma possess and are willing to share, not only with me, but with anyone and everyone willing to learn about nutrition, fitness, and health. They have both inspired me to become a better version of myself. The guidance and support has been excellent!”
