Are South Asians really different? Didn’t all cultures experience famine, like Africa?
Yes we are! There is a vast body of research on this which you can find just by searching “South Asian Health” in Google Scholar. But you don’t even need this, just use your powers of observation and reflection.
Growing up were you always skinny fat compared to the skinny kids?
Did all your parents, uncles and aunts have health conditions like high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes?
Did you have a hard time gaining muscle compared to your friends who could just look at the weights and grow?
This is partly due to our cultural lifestyle and diet but also to genetic predisposition. Body fat distribution is well known to vary by ethnicity (and by gender and individual) and this changes our interaction with our modern environment compared to other ethnicities.
I’ve tried lots of fitness and nutrition programs before and didn’t get anywhere. What if I don’t get any results?
We completely understand. Every client we have tried a bunch of other programs first that didn’t give them the results they wanted because they failed to take into account that we as South Asians are different. So we need to do things differently.
That’s why this program was made. That said if you complete the workouts and follow the meal plan (by logging inside your app so we can see) and you don’t start seeing results within 2 weeks, we will personally give you some advice which you can implement or you can choose a refund.
What changes each month in your program?
Every 4 weeks you will receive updated calories and macros based on your new body composition(if significantly different than 4 weeks ago), as well as an adjusted meal plan with portions matched to your new calories and macros(if different).
In addition your workouts will update every 4-6 weeks depending on your experience level. (Beginners every 4 weeks, Novice and Intermediate every 6 weeks)
I am vegetarian and don’t want to give up home cooked South Asian meals, will this work for me?
Yes! The SAS programs were designed especially for all the aspects of our culture in mind. You can still eat the food you love and transform!
Do I have to track my food?
We highly recommend it but it isn’t necessary. You will be shown how to simply achieve your goals both with and without tracking your food.
What kind of exercise equipment will I need to start?
If you are planning on working out in a gym then all the workout equipment found in your normal gym with nothing fancy.
If you are planning on working out at home all you need is($150-250 investment total, links provided after signup):
- Adjustable Dumbbells upto 20lbs each dumbbell if beginner/novice, upto 40lbs if intermediate
- Resistance Band set
- 18-24 inch Foam Roller and soft tissue mobility ball or lacrosse ball (optional)
- Adjustable Bench
For either version of the workouts you can also substitute an exercise if needed by clicking the menu beside each exercise in the training app.
Will you tell me exactly what to eat everyday?
If you want us to! Your transformation program comes with a customized weekly nutrition plan with portions matching your calorie and macro goals.
However we advise that you use this as a template to learn and start creating your own meals that are in alignment with your goals so that you make this a long term adjustment.
How personalized is the program?
Your program is personalized based on your experience level with exercise, your dietary preferences and your workout equipment. Based on this we assign you a particular workout and diet plan that will get you to your goals!
Moreover as you progress we will automatically update your workouts and diet plan to make sure you get the best results possible from your plan.
Is anyone going to check on my progress and answer questions?
No, and they don’t need to! This program was designed to be fully automated and provide workout and diet updates regularly just like a real fitness coach! For any other questions you may have you can ask them in the group call we will host every weekend or by posting in the monitored group chat!
Will I build muscle in Phase 1 if the goal is recomposition & fat loss?
- Yes! The goal is Body Recomposition which is increasing the ratio of muscle to fat in your body. This can be done in three ways:
1) by maintaining your muscle and losing fat (easiest by everyone)
2) by building muscle and losing fat at the same time (possible for most and our goal)
3) by building muscle while (hardest, only possible in beginners)
Depending on your starting point you will be assigned one of the above strategies initially. Beginner trainees will start with strategy 3 and then shift to 2. If you have prior training experience we will focus on 2 and if you are already lean and have significant muscle 1) is your best bet but 2 is still likely possible.
How long will the workouts take?
Each workout is designed to take 45min - 1 hour although if you like taking long breaks like me sometimes they can take upto 1.5 hours.
Can the workouts be modified?
Yes beside each exercise in the menu if the training app you can choose to swap exercises. A list of suggested swaps is provided in our ecourse.
Will I have to do any cardio?
Not other than walking! Excessive or intense cardio can be harmful to muscle building so we avoid this. Instead we focus on getting in a certain amount of steps on off days. This can be done indoors on a treadmill or outside.
What kind of exercise equipment will I need to start?
If you are planning on working out in a gym then all the workout equipment found in your normal gym with nothing fancy.
If you are planning on working out at home all you need is($150-250 investment total, links provided after signup):
- Adjustable Dumbbells upto 20lbs each dumbbell if beginner/novice, upto 40lbs if intermediate
- Resistance Band set
- 18-24 inch Foam Roller and soft tissue mobility ball or lacrosse ball (optional)
- Adjustable Bench
For either version of the workouts you can also substitute an exercise if needed by clicking the menu beside each exercise in the training app.
Do you have vegetarian/vegan meal plans?
Yes! We have vegetarian meal plans that include dairy, eggs and tofu. If you’re vegan or don’t eat eggs you can sub these for dairy such as paneer or your preferred plant based product.
Do I need to take any supplements?
Nope. Although we do recommend some, especially if you’re vegetarian/vegan as you may be deficient in some key nutrients that will help with muscle building.
Why is it a monthly subscription and not a one time fee?
Our programs regularly update every 4-6 weeks and we have coaches monitoring the discord chat as well as hosting the group calls.
In addition to this you have access to an exclusive training app and ecourse that are regularly updated with new features and lessons. These of course require ongoing costs.
What if I need to take a break/cancel?
To pause/cancel your subscription you can login on this website anytime with the email you signed up with (also linked in your order confirmation).
Click on Subscriptions and then manage your subscription how you would like.
Why don't you offer a trial period?
We do not offer a trial period but we do guarantee your results.
This means that if you try* the product for 14 days and aren't seeing results (ie. weight loss), then you can reach out to us we will personally inspect your logs and see if we can help and extend your trial another two weeks for you to implement our advice, or you have the option to receive a refund right away. Personal training is an ongoing process and we are confident that with our recommendations you will finally achieve your goals.
*by completing completing and logging your workouts, weigh ins as well as your food log. This is mandatory.
What is your refund policy?
Refunds for digital products are typically not given but we want you to succeed so our refund policy is as follows:
Refunds are only available if you try the product for 14 days and do not see results. This means completing your weekly weigh-ins and completing and logging the workouts as well as your food log(if using My Fitness Pal it must be connected to your profile in the 'More' menu of the SAS app so that your log is visible).
If you do the above and aren't seeing results (ie. weight loss), then you can reach out to us and once we confirm you completed these steps we will personally inspect your logs and see if we can help and extend your trial another two weeks for you to implement our advice, or you have the option to receive a refund right away. Personal training is an ongoing process and we are confident that with our recommendations you will finally achieve your goals.
I have a medical/health condition that affects my ability to exercise in some way, can I still do this program?
If you have a medical condition that may affect your ability to exercise we advise that you double check with a relevant medical professional for which exercises they recommend you avoid and which they clear you for.
That said no exercise is necessary and can be substituted as desired within the app by clicking on the substitute button and selecting an alternative.
RESULTS THAT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
Have also been focused on my health, but now really trying to take it to the next level this past year. The program based on what works for South Asian has been quite helpful - at almost 45 y/o, I am at the peak level in my fitness journey, matching or beating what I did in my 20s. What I like:
*The program is efficient - 3 days per week (with walking on rest days), vs 4 or 5 days of working out which can be hard
*The app is very good - because you can track your progress weekly, plus each exercise has embedded video links on form/technique
*The Coach and community are available 24x7 for support, tips, and progress checks
Being South Asian I always had skinny arms and legs but carried significant amount of fat in my abdominal area and still do, didn't know whether to bulk or cut, tried bulking, wasn't satisfied with the results, tried cutting wasn't satisfied because I did not know where I was going wrong. Then I stumbled upon South Asian Strong YouTube channel.
Everyone wants a body which they can flaunt even while shirtless so do I one month into the program I lost 3kgs, lost some fat and increased some lifts too! Coach Gurneet's guidance is really helpful, the diet plan is really easy to follow I can still eat all South Asian foods I want to eat,the workout schedule is very flexible and easy to follow. Currently in phase 1 fatloss and hoping everything goes well from here too excited for what's to come.
Would recommend this program to any South Asian who's struggling with their skinny fat physique,like me, having tried bulking cutting and so many other programs and still not getting satisfactory results nothing fancy in the program everything is really simple which any person no matter how busy schedule,can easily follow. Consistency is key!!Looking forward to the journey with Southasianstrong and Gurneet.
I’ve been exercising the workout schedule that I’ve received and it has wonderfully shown me results in about 3 months time. I feel the difference. It’s not only the exercises only but also the community that keeps you moving. I am grateful and thankful for South Asia strong. Keep going and keep growing

I stumbled upon SAS utterly hopeless with chronic injuries picked up in previous cricket seasons. Now overweight following inactivity and poor eating habits, I needed something special and I found it!
Since starting the programme I have lost a total of 15.5 kilos, gained a lot of strength (I was DB pressing 10kg when I started, now 24kg) despite being at my absolute lightest (68.5kg)…and I’m still not done!
Throughout this time period, I was still able to continue eating my favourite South Asian foods e.g. masala omelettes and chicken karahis which was amazing. The meal plans are brilliant and adaptable, everything is easy to follow and you become very cognisant of what quality nutrition / training looks like. This entire set up has been life changing for me, I especially love the simple interface, and group chat.
Thanks Gurneet for your support and I’m looking forward to completing phase 1 soon and starting a gaining phase! I still can’t believe the pic on the left was me!! If you’re serious about changing how you look and feel, honestly don’t even think twice and just join!!! I’ll update this review when I hit 12% BF, I'm currently at around 13.
I'm a shift worker that was struggling to build a solid routine and structure to my workouts. Was generally fit cardio wise but a newbie to weights and SAS helped build a solid foundation to cut pounds of fat and build a base understanding of workouts and muscle and strength gains.
Helped me lean out and get healthier while learning how to build my own routines and meal plans to fit my busy life.
I reccomend the program to anyone that is starting out their journey and wants to learn a solid foundation but also have the flexibility to grow in their journey to getting stronger!
I grew up very skinny with terrible body composition. In high school, I developed manboobs and focused entirely on my academics. My physique became awful, soft, and trim. I tried doing the 5x5 program in high school, followed by other programs on and off in college. I never saw decent progress and was quickly overshadowed by my other friends. This dropped my confidence immensely, and I accepted it as fate.
I found Gurneet through Instagram. Just a few months on Gurneet's program has completely changed my life. I'm no longer insulin resistant and have an excellent Phase 1 lean physique ready for the muscle-building phase. His methods are very beneficial. Coach Jas is also an incredible motivator.
I'd recommend his program to anyone with similar struggles...
The workouts planned are really easy to follow and don’t feel overwhelming. Really enjoyed them and I could feel and see the difference in my body and do recommend this to everyone 10/10.

I was mostly a runner before getting introduced to SAS workouts and while I had done keto before I had a hard time keeping the weight off . Would always gain the weight after stopping keto diet. SAS helped me actually understand the benefits of resistance and weight training and how to tune macros based on activity level and weight goals. I’ve lost about 30 lbs (168 lb to 140lbs) but have gained a ton of muscle. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a lifestyle change for improving their health and actually feeling great with more energy through the day!
I had tried multiple dieting and lifting programs before finding out about South Asian Strong. I was recommended onto it and knew about it for over a year before actually deciding to give it a go. Prior to working with South Asian Strong, it was difficult to maintain a diet consistently for over 10 weeks. I would constantly start out strong until I faded, it was unsustainable.
The trainers at South Asian Strong put in work on developing a meal plan and lifting routine that definitely works. I dropped 15 pounds within the first phase of the program while still getting stronger in the gym.
While going to the gym was never my issue, dieting was always the harder aspect to manage. With the dieting program with South Asian Strong, I am able to eat foods that I was previously not touching. I am able to lose weight while still eating rice, pasta, and other carbs I love.
Was very skeptical at first about the knowledge being shared within the program, but the research and logic is clearly explained. Additionally, I cannot argue with clear cut results when it comes to me dropping body fat percentage, while getting stronger and actually looking forward to my next meal. Instead of eating chicken and rice daily, having the ability to incorporate creative fun meals has had a major improvement on not only my body, but my mental state and positivity as well.
Can’t say enough good things about South Asian Strong! Amazing program that works. Wish I found it earlier for sure.
Before I couldn't motivate myself to stick to a strict diet and would always end up bulking to a point of a disproportionate mid-section vs looking built. Especially as a vegetarian, any diet plans I would look up before would all be around typically "Canadian meat" diets that were not helpful.
The SAS team helped me to address my goals of gaining weight and cutting down to a healthy level where I was satisfied with my muscle growth and physique while also generally feeling much more healthy and having overall better eating habits. The on demand coaching help with both nutrition and training is exceptional and would recommend it to anyone that just needs that extra help to get into the best shape possible!
Just like everyone i always wanted a fit nice looking body, went to gym here and there but never had that proper guidence.
The founder of south asian strong, i knew him from before he and watching him grow into this business got me intrested in what he has too offer. Too my surprise my workout sessions were designed right according to my needs and goals. Each workout brings you closer too your goal because these guys put alot of study into designing workouts according too your body type/goal. I reccommend this to people who are serious about transforming there life into healthy life style, they alter the program for each person instead of putting multiple people on the same plan. I leaned alot from mt program and reached levels of fitness which were dreams before. I am still working on my self with south asian strong and will stay with them till i reach my ultimate goal of low body fat . Another great thing about the program is they actully monitor your diet on daily basis and let you know if you need to alter it, the app used for the program is no brainer so makes the work easier and exciting. Keep it up south asian strong 🔥🔥
I signed up for Gurneet’s coaching in 2020. It was peak lockdown in India, and gyms were shut. I had gained a lot of weight being at home. We did home workouts and followed a good diet, and I was able to get insanely lean. I have a skinny fat body, and the coaching was tuned for me to lose belly fat and then eventually bulk and gain muscle.
I regularly track calories now, logging each and every meal. And I’ve become smart enough to guess how many calories a meal would have without even searching it up.
Fitness is not just a one time program, it’s a mindset. And Gurneet’s coaching blessed me with a fitness oriented mindset. I workout and maintain a clean diet without a coach now, and it’s only been possible because of what I learnt from the 1 year I was being coached by him.
I’m very grateful for the transformation, not just physical transformation but the mental transformation I’ve had in my approach to fitness. I would recommend this program to everyone who wants to make fitness their lifestyle and transform. You will get results, guaranteed.
I found South Asian Strong online, on Instagram. I read all the fitness articles that were posted and found that his journey and my journey were very similar.
It was like the stars aligned I found a trainer who went through all the same problems I was going through.
After 9 months of consistent training and coaching following the program, during covid so I didn’t have access to a gym about 80 % of the time. I made amazing progress. My progress was so good that a friend of mine also decided to join the training and he too has made and incredible transformation
The nutrition plans are explained well and the work- outs are intense and fun.
I am grateful for the journey. Thank you South Asian Strong 💪🏽
ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
My name is Gurneet Singh, and I used to be Skinny-Fat growing up.
That means I was skinny everywhere except around my belly. Not to mention that I had little muscle to speak of. At the age of 15, I started working out diligently and eating “properly” hoping it would get better. I listened to all the mainstream fitness advice and followed it to the letter.
I got much bigger, stronger, and even leaner, but I still did not look like how I “should” have. Here is me several years later and 40-50 pounds heavier from the ages of 18-20:
Anyone else (non-South Asian) would have had their dream physique by now, right out of a fitness magazine. However no matter what workout program, diet plan or supplements I tried, or however many bulking/cutting cycles I went through, I could not achieve that elusive six-pack, and hence the “ideal” physique I saw in popular media.
And I started to wonder why?READ MORE
