HERE ARE THINGS I USE & LOVE (CAMERA, FITNESS & KITCHEN GEAR):
WHO AM I?
I'm Derek Simnett, a Certified Nutritional Practitioner.
I love calisthenics and making good food!
Check out my 2 year transformation:

omg Natalie Matthews was there!!! I love her channel too!! 💚🥦💪🏼
Yeah she’s so cool, it was awesome to connect.
Thanks for bringing us on this adventure with you! So glad you had a good time! The free pizza was awesome! My mom and I love you and Crystal so much! 😊
Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate it 😀
Always fun to see these vlogs where the vegan swole-vengers get together💪🌱. Feels like I should start bulking a bit more and join the gang 😄
Not only do all y’all prove to the world that you can be vegan and in SUPER shape but you all seem like such nice people. ALL of that makes such a huge difference in the world – so happy to see you all having a great time!
Thank you so much, the crew is amazing. Such great people!
Agreed. Im vegan and love calisthenics but I wouldnt watch this channel if Derek wasnt such a nice guy. I like that they are vegan but Id prefer to watch meat eaters who are genuinely nice and work out over vegans who are jerks and work out
In a world full of fitness influencers encouraging us all to smash more animal protein, it truly made me soooo happy to see this pop up on my feed from you and some of these other amazing Vegan Baddies and FitMen. 🔥 Appreciate you guys so much and love Vedge! 💖
And the Tocaya in Long Beach CA also closed!! I was so sad to lose yet another Vegan dining option😢
Thank you so much! I’m also so sad tocaya is closed!!! It was a fav of ours :'(
Nooooo, are there any more tocayas? 😢 That place was the best!
It was good meeting you bro had a good time at the event. Come down to San Diego next time I’ll show you the best vegan spots and we’ll go ride the beautiful San Diego back roads 👌🏻
Thanks so much man, it was great talking with you and I will definitely let you know when I come down to San Diego. We would love to visit!
💪🏻😎💯@@Simnettnutrition
Wow the food looks sooooo gooood! Fun video 🎉 thanks for sharing a day in your life , love to see the connection with everyone 😊
Great to see you and your pals enjoying vegan life, you embody the best vegan values and spirit.
I enjoyed your video, but I have to say that I am at the age and mindset where I want to go deeper. You had a collection of interesting and dedicated people who made choices about how they want to live their lives, yet we heard nothing from them other than “I’m hungry” and “time to work out”. A few minutes of people’s experiences and ideas sends your video in a whole new and interesting realm.
I went deep into WFPB eating (2019) & emerged WF omni. The V mindset remains fascinating.
@@Unmasking_Viandalisme I don’t know WTF you’re talking about…but it sounds like a commercial…and I pay for premium youtube to avoid commercials
@@evanlouis8853 You ‘want to go deeper’ but have no curiosity.. 🤣👍
I understand, and appreciate the input, it has made me think about future videos. If you are interested in their personal stories, go check out their IG/YouTube channels where they talk more about that kinda stuff.
This weekend was so much fun! I can’t wait for the next one 😆🎉💪🏽
It was so great meeting you Natalie! I didn’t have any individual shots of you so I’m sorry I didn’t include any in the beginning of this video, but I was stoked to get to know you and had a great time. Thanks for watching 😀
Derek, it looks like you’re having way too much fun. If one didn’t know that you were all grown up and would think you’re enjoying yourself like a kid. Thanks for sharing your fun weekend.
When you mentioned discussing content ideas, I realized I have one: With the holidays just around the corner, how about a couple of videos of gift ideas for the vegan in your life? Non-vegans seem totally stumped about what to get us. That kind of video would bring omnivores to your channel and some might even decide to keep following for the health info.
Maaaaaan you had me smiling from ear to ear with this one. You really captured so much of the fun we all got to have out there in LA! I’m beyond grateful for the time we got together and am already looking forward to the next meet up! Until next time, brother 🤜🏼🤛🏼
haha I’m so glad you enjoyed the edit, it was so fun to make, I had such a good time with you and the guys! So many memories.
Vegans ROCK!!!!
awesome to see you and Brian together. Plant power!
What a nice vlog! MORE OF THOSE!
I always enjoy your videos derek . Everyone in this video is a beasttt
So great to see lots of strong vegan fitness people! Some people still think vegan diet isn’t good enough for especially if you want to build muscle and get stronger… you all smashed it! 😊
I”m from Torrance (right next to Gardena). Soooo much good vegan food there! Next time you gotta go to Tokyo Central in Gardena, a huge Japanese market. Tons of veggie sushi, noodles, cooked white sweet potatoes kept in a hot display case (there’s a special Japanese method of cooking them, it’s out of this world) and a big selection of miso paste, soy sauces, etc..
10 month vegan journey here. Feels wicked, never turning back. Started in Hawaii while life was turned upside down. Met some awesome like-minded people in Ka’u region.
Been Supplementing, taking vitamins, and a few avedic supports, and I’ve never felt better in my life. Wish I had started 20 years ago.
