South Asian Strong

I joined the SAS program in December 2023, weighing 180 lbs at 6'4". For most of my life, I was what you’d call “skinny fat”—carrying extra weight around my belly but managing to hide it due to my height. I’d tried several programs over the years, but none had the depth or scientific grounding that Gurneet’s program offers. As a healthcare professional, I could see that this plan was well-founded, so I committed to it with confidence. Transforming your body is no small feat, and my journey was no exception. At 63 years old, I’m likely older than many people pursuing similar goals, and balancing a busy career didn’t make it any easier. I knew I needed to lose weight before focusing on muscle gain, so I braced myself for the process. Along the way, I faced a lot of questions from family, friends, and even patients asking, “Doc, why are you losing weight? Are you okay?” Fast forward 11 months, and I’m down to 154 lbs, with my belly fat nearly gone. I posted my before-and-after pictures to track my progress, and I can truly see the difference. Now, I’m excited to enter the next phase: enjoying more food while working to build muscle. One of the best parts of this program is its flexibility. You don’t have to eliminate foods you love; it’s all about maintaining the right ratios. As a Punjabi, I didn’t give up Chole Bhature or parathas—I just kept an eye on portions and balanced my macros. Finally, a heartfelt thanks to Gurneet for designing such a thoughtful program. This journey has been challenging, but I feel stronger, healthier, and ready for the next chapter."

Often, we come across personal training programs, whether online or offline, where the primary goal of the trainers seems to be simply extracting money from their clients, without fully revealing the path to transformation or sharing the key components necessary for success. Unfortunately, I too became a victim of such programs. However, after several months, I realized this and eventually discovered SAS through Instagram. Trusting them was the best decision I made, and over the course of 6-7 months, I successfully lost 28 pounds. The coach regularly checks in to see how you're feeling and adjusts the workouts or meal plans accordingly. You’ll gain a completely new perspective on nutrition, food, and calories, and once you develop the habit of conscious consumption, you’ll never go back to your old eating habits. This journey transforms not only your perspective on nutrition and exercise but also reshapes the way you approach life as a whole. You’ll start to prioritize your health above everything else, recognizing the immense benefits it brings. The coaches are with you every step of the way, guiding and supporting you through the process. Undoubtedly, one of the best programs and mentors you will ever encounter. You'll gain access to the app and a highly interactive WhatsApp group, where you'll find constant engagement and encouragement from your peers. Together, this creates a supportive and motivating environment that keeps you accountable and inspired throughout your journey.

Have always 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 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

I’ve been in a constant rut where I’ve been told I need to bulk, cut, recomp but the strategies used by dietitians and fitness coaches never really worked for me. South Asians have unique genetics that set us apart from other races so this app has really helped put into perspective how to tackle not only the nutritional side of things but also fitness — to build muscle but by training less frequently unlike workout splits you here on social media from fitness influencers.

As a South Asian one faces a lot more friction and uphill battle in fat loss and body recomposition. So far in my experience, even the causes were not explored let alone solutions, so far in the “fitness industry” on why desis struggle so much more. The industry catered mostly to a western/Caucasian genetics and culture. All that changed with Coach Gurneet and his SAS app. He is able to not only correctly nail down the causes (too long to explain, but long story short, our geography and evolution played a huge part ) of being “skinny fat”, he’s also structured a diet plan that’s the softest landing to “eating healthy” that you can find today. All other programs push us desis towards a “bland chicken and steamed broccoli” and such types of diets that cater to a primarily western culture and upbringing. That factor alone is a winner for us who would prefer a more relatable (and sustainable) food program. But it doesn’t end there, this program also comes with a comprehensive workout plan and the best part - a WhatsApp group community that helps inspires and encourages each other. If you are a desi and have been struggling with fat loss especially being pot bellied or even if being “too skinny” and need to get jacked , in either case this program has customizations that can help. Give them a try, I’m certain you won’t be disappointed.

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. I'd recommend his program to anyone with similar struggles...

There’s no way to cancel and no customer support so you’re left paying monthly. Had to call my bank to sort it out.

Its hard to get them to honor their 30 days refund. So don't count on it if you just want to try and see what it is about. Then its really difficult to cancel. I emailed requesting cancelation and still got charged. Also they are just using some other fitness platform and loading their content. Content itself is okay, you may get results, but the app itself is no good.
