NBSV 186: Coach and gym owner Izzy Jacobus on running vegan businesses, his past as a pro musician, and poking trolls online


Izzy and I have been Facebook friends for years, but have never had a face-to-face chat…until now. Listen in as we talk about our respective musical backgrounds, working with clients, the role of AI in fitness, and running various types of vegan businesses.


Izzy Jacobus is a personal trainer with a certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and nutrition coach with certifications from the Nutritarian Education Institute and Precision Nutrition. After holding a position at Brooklyn Nurse Practitioners Clinic (a vegan medical clinic) as their nutrition counsellor, he started The Workout Plant to continue helping local clients in Brooklyn, New York, and online clients around the world pursue their fitness and health goals.


Izzy is also the founder of Vegans of New York, the largest vegan community in NYC, and creator of Animals First on the Second, a global animal advocacy organization.
