Matt Nicholson Vegan Personal Trainer Manchester

My name's Matt and I'm a certified PT and vegan nutritionist with a passion for health and fitness

Have you considered going vegan, vegetarian or simply cutting down on meat? Are you concerned about losing size or strength or where to get your protein? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then I can help you! As an athlete who went from a heavy meat diet to 100% vegan I have asked myself all these questions. I understand that my nutrition is just as important as my training for physi

Sounds like heaven 😇

I didn’t want to lose strength or size while I was away in Canada 🇨🇦

When you’re travelling, vegan options can be hit or miss…
so I kept things simple.

I packed protein bars and prepped my protein + creatine in advance so I always had something quick and easy. I mixed chocolate protein with the creatine to avoid stress about smuggling white powder 😱

That way I could enjoy the trip, stay on track, and still recover properly after a full day on the slopes 💪

If you’re travelling soon, don’t overcomplicate it — just have a simple plan in place.

Save this for your next trip ✈️

But “hot dog” isn’t. 🐶 🔥 make it make sense

The first rep is always the hardest. Not just in the gym — in life too. For a lot of people, even the idea of starting a new exercise routine feels impossible. The thought of joining a gym, walking through the door, and beginning that first workout can feel overwhelming. But the first step is simply getting in the door. Once the weight starts moving, momentum takes over. The reps feel smoother, confidence builds, and progress starts to happen. Most people don’t fail because they can’t do it. They fail because they never get past the first rep. What’s the first rep you’re avoiding right now? #momentum #fitnessgoals #challenge #strength #confidence

Before you come after me in the comments 😱, I just want to confirm I was always advocate for a mostly whole foods plant based diet. It’s the best way to ensure you’re getting a healthy range of micronutrients, as well as protein, healthy fats and fibre ❤️

However, if like myself, you take your training seriously 💪🏼 and want to get the best results possible by following a high protein vegan diet, these high protein, slightly processed choices are really handy. You can still be very healthy while adding these occasional products to your meals.

Also if you have something which you’d consider a cheeky treat😋, it helps you stick to your plan and makes things more sustainable. It’s also going to help those who are considering a vegan diet from falling off the wagon, as they won’t have to worry about missing the texture and taste of meat too much 🥩

Well done, You’re really helping making things easier! 🙏🏻

Send this to someone who thinks they could never go vegan 🌱

POV: You’re already having the best birthday trip ever… and then this happens 🐾🏂

We were snowboarding at Lake Louise, when we suddenly spotted wild Canadian lynx right on the slopes. Just casually strolling through like they owned the place.

I already thought this trip couldn’t get any better… and then we saw this.

Safe to say this moment was the icing on the birthday cake and something I’ll never forget.

Wild, unexpected, and pure magic. ✨

People think you need meat, tons of supplements or drugs and crazy workouts to build a good physique.

I used to believe that too.

When I first went vegan I actually got weaker and lost muscle… because I didn’t understand training or nutrition properly.

Once I learned how to:
• train consistently
• eat enough protein
• cook simple vegan meals

everything changed.

Now I help other vegans look, feel and move better without extreme diets or unrealistic plans.

If you want a simple vegan training + meal plan made for your lifestyle, send me a DM with the word START 🌱

Every day I say thank you.

I’m grateful that I get to do what I love for a living — helping people get stronger, healthier and more confident.

Coaching. Training. Sharing plant-based meals. Building a life around movement and wellbeing.

I don’t take any of it for granted. The people I work with and this community mean everything.

Lucky… and very grateful 🌱💪
