Biography

Rough Beginnings

Vince Azzopardi AKA Veggie Vince is famous for his sculpted body and fitness lifestyle. But things weren’t always going well for him.

Growing up, Vince was an overweight kid who got bullied by his peers. He didn’t know anything about healthy nutrition. As Vince recalls, his idea of a “normal meal” was pizza with cherry soda, which he’d drink all day long.

On top of his bad diet, Vince wasn’t a sporty kid either. He didn’t like running, playing soccer, or any other sporting activity.

Because of his unhealthy habits, Vince fell into a downward spiral from which was hard to get out of. He became depressed, angry, and frustrated.

Making a Change For the Better

One day, Vince woke up and looked at his overweight body in the mirror. It was at this moment he realized enough was enough.

He couldn’t tolerate his unhealthy lifestyle anymore, and as a result, he firmly decided to improve how he looked and felt about himself.

His first step was to join a Martial Arts Academy in his local area.

The first few months were rough – Vince wasn’t used to the type of training he was now doing. But he kept pushing.

Martial Arts Champion

Over the following months and years, Vince worked his way up to earning a black belt in Martial Arts. By this point, he became stronger, leaner, and more confident in himself.

Inspired by his transformation, Vince became interested in tackling new challenges. One of them was to compete in Martial Arts.

From this point on, Vince began taking part in numerous Martial Arts championships. He was able to win some of them.

Improving His Results

Wanting to push his progress in Martial Arts even further, Vince decided to enter the gym and learn more about healthy nutrition. It wasn’t long before his results improved.

In a matter of months, Vince packed on a serious amount of muscle mass. He looked stronger and leaner than ever at this point.

Becoming a Model

Thanks to his chiseled physique, Vince started attracting interest from the people who watched him during Martial Arts contests.

During one of these competitions, Vince was contacted by a modeling agency offering him work.

After giving it some thought, Vince accepted the offer – and he hasn’t looked back since.

A Fitness Influencer

Vince successfully went from an overweight child who was bullied in school, to a fitness model with chiseled abs – all thanks to his determination and willpower.

Driven by his own success, Vince decided to give back to the fitness community by becoming a personal trainer.

Through his expert advice, he’s empowered numerous people to become stronger, fitter, and healthier.

A Vegan Advocate

Throughout his process of self-improvement, Vince started walking the path of veganism. His transition all began while he was in Dubai working as a personal trainer.

While there, Vince rescued over 11 abused animals. He felt a deep connection to them, and hasn’t been able to look at the meat the same way since.“I tried to eat meat for a little bit after this, and it just felt weird so I stopped.” – Vince Azzopardi

Today, Vince shares his passion and love for veganism with thousands of his followers online. His message is to live a lifestyle that’s friendly for the environment, and to “kill workouts, not animals.”

Training

Solo Training

Vince dedicates a big chunk of his time to coaching others. That said, he sometimes enjoys training all by himself.

Solo-workouts enable Vince to focus on his routine. They allow him to cut out distractions and achieve better, and faster progress in the gym.

Planned Workouts

In terms of his routine, Vince follows a strict workout plan. He likes to know exactly which muscles he trains each time he enters the gym.

Each set and rep are of equal importance to Vince. Quality over quantity is his motto. He’ll fully focus on each repetition when performing an exercise, ensuring he maintains a perfect form.

Nutrition

As a vegan, Vince Azzopardi eats a diet that’s free of any animal products. This includes meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and even foods such as honey.

Vince is a strong believer in the popular saying “you’re what you eat.” He can tell the difference in how he feels and looks every time he changes his diet.

For this reason, he aims at eating the healthiest foods possible – including dark green vegetables, berries, whole grains, and good fats.

Idols and Influences

Vince’s main inspiration for turning vegan came after he encountered abused animals in Dubai.

From this moment on, he never looked at meat the same. He developed a deep love and appreciation for all animals and decided to live a cruelty-free life.

Vince is now a huge influence for people who want to try a plant-based diet. If there’s one thing he encourages the most, it’s to have compassion and respect for other living beings.
