KARINA INKSTER
VEGAN FITNESS & NUTRITION COACH
Structured coaching for vegans who want clarity
Hi! I’m Karina Inkster, but most of our clients call me Coach K. Yes, that’s a disco suit. I take strength seriously — myself, a little less so! I’m a fitness and nutrition coach, TEDx speaker, 23-year vegan, and host of the No-B.S. Vegan podcast.
​
I work with vegans and veg-curious folks who want to get strong, eat well, and stop second-guessing themselves. If you’re tired of conflicting advice or gym bro protein panic, you're in the right place.
​
I hold a Master’s degree in Gerontology, specializing in health and aging, and I’ve spent years translating peer-reviewed research into coaching systems that work in real life.
​
When I'm not coaching or lifting heavy things, I perform and teach accordion, didgeridoo, and piano.

Author of 5 books on vegan strength & nutrition
My books have helped thousands of vegans train smarter, eat confidently, and cut through nutrition noise.


Online coaching has helped a lot! Knowing that you see when I work out and what I eat through the apps keep me super accountable! I just noticed on the top of the latest workout that I have completed 134 workouts with you. That is unbelievable! Anyway, I have come a long way. I started being scared of the gym and not knowing what any of the equipment or exercises look like.

As seen, heard, and occasionally quoted
I speak at events like TEDx and VegFests, and get roped into media interviews (hi, CBC) when someone needs a no-B.S. vegan who lifts.

Being a vegetarian for four years, I was ready to make the change and become vegan, but couldn’t quite do it by myself. I Googled “vegan fitness coach” and found Karina’s website. So happy I did! Her guidance and support were exactly what I needed to commit to veganism and get back to strength training in the gym! I loved all of the workouts I was sent, and the weekly check-ins and monthly phone calls kept me accountable! I can now proudly call myself vegan and I’m stronger than ever before. Thanks Coach K!

The no-B.S. approach
Through my No-B.S. Vegan podcast, I interview leading researchers, physicians, and athletes — conversations that sharpen the evidence-based approach we use in our coaching programs.
Our coaching philosophy is straightforward: strength training over endless cardio, adequate protein over obsession, consistent habits over extremes. Most people don’t need more information. They need a clear plan, fewer decisions, and accountability from real humans.​​​
​
Sustainable strength comes from habits that endure, not short bursts of perfection. If you’re ready for clarity instead of confusion, you can learn more about coaching here.
