I joined VSA on September 1, 2025 and have never been happier. I was not exclusively vegan when I joined, and I was very clear about that at the outset. I have learned a lot about plant based proteins and how to incorporate them into my nutrition routine. I was paired with an awesome coach, Coach Nicole. She and Dr. Daphne provided me with workout routines and vegan recipes to get started, and my workouts have been adjusted as my strength improved. My goal has been to lose about 40 pounds and I have lost a solid 21 pounds so far. But I have gained so much knowledge, confidence, and pride in my accomplishments so far. The VSA community offers online support to each other, and I have weekly calls with my coach. I have never felt like I was doing this all on my own, and I am so glad that I invested in my own health and wellbeing. It has absolutely been worth it!

I joined the Vegan Superhero Academy over year ago. I was new in my vegan journey and needed some help incorporating it with my weight loss and fitness goals. I was paired with Coach Sarah. She was perfect for me. I have a busy life so It was difficult for me to figure out a consistent plan. She helped me create the habits of meal prepping vegan proteins to use throughout the week. She also created a workout plan that was easy for me to do 2-3x per week. Coach Sarah was very understanding of my individual circumstances. She gave me gentle guidance and reminders to stay on track. They also have a facebook group. I personally don't use FB much but for some people, this can be a very encouraging place. There are lots of weekly educational sessions too on their SKOOL platform. Its been great to get to know Coach Sarah over the year and its been my consistent Monday morning zoom chat. I highly recommend Coach Sarah and the Vegan Superhero Academy!!

What a blessing my VSA journey has been! So thankful to have had Coach James as my coach. I'm hopeful our friendship will carry on long after my VSA journey ends. I joined the VSA family in August, 2024, after switching to a plant-based diet following breast cancer surgery, chemo and radiation in 2022. My journey with VSA was full of ups and downs due to my ongoing health issues. During it all, Coach James was my constant champion. His words of encouragement were life-giving, and the goals he helped me set will continue as I strive to keep learning and getting stronger. His words will continue to push me past my barriers, I hope for years to come. He has stretched me physically and mentally. Due to my ongoing brain fog, he has come up with strategy after strategy to help me move forward, and I will be forever grateful. If I rejoin the VSA family in the future, I would want to have James again as my coach. My husband and oldest daughter both saw firsthand the impact he had on my life. And my youngest daughter, who was born with Down Syndrome, will miss his virtual air hugs. Thanks, VSA ~ Leif, Anders, Daphne, and coaches ~ for your excellent program and care for your members!

From my first contact with the VSA team I knew I was in the right place! I was paired with an awesome coach, Arman who together with VSA resources and varied professionals works with me on the perfect fit exercise and nutrition programs to meet my goals. Arman has been my cheerleader and alway just a text or email away for any support I might need or questions I might have. I have met my goals and to do it with a community of other vegans who totally understand what that mean has been of great importance. Thank-you Arman and VSA!

I started VSA 7/28/25 and I’ve been over the top impressed with the results. When you apply the principles given in this program you will reap the rewards. VSA truly sets you up for success. I feel so much stronger and healthier and my stamina is amazing! I’m 64, feel like I’m in my forties, and I’ve lost 28 lbs in just over 3 months! Coach Lukasz Rafacz is absolutely wonderful and has been an amazing support & encouragement for me ! He asked the important questions and fine tuned a custom program for the results I was looking for. He has been there in my corner the whole way to cheer me on with weekly support and encouragement. When it came to some needed tweaking with the workouts (due to some minor injuries I had) I was able to stay the course and maintain because he got creative and came up with some different exercises that would still work with my setbacks. He is inspirational, a cheer leader, a positive force, and sets a stellar example by showing up in his own life & being consistent in his daily nutrition habits and his workouts. He walks the walk! He’s absolutely the best! Thank you Coach Lukasz for who you are and all you do! Thank you VSA for giving me a new lease on life! And to the readers out there wondering if you should invest in this program, it is an invaluable investment in your future health! You gain strength ( mental & physical), your health will improve, and you take away more knowledge and new & healthier habits for the rest of your life. It has impacted and changed my life and health for the better! Best decision ever! I wholeheartedly recommend VSA for a healthier stronger you! Investing in your health is the best investment you will ever make !

Finally found THE program that provides top health coaching and strength training with vegan nutrition plan. I have had the best experience and results, noting muscle and strength gains with weight loss and overall health marker improvements. Would highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their health and fitness in the most positive and healthy way possible- Coach Kiana is the best!!!

My trainer, Nathan Perrin, was really excellent for customizing my training during the course of my time with the VSA to respond to my specific mobility and strength goals. His regimens were good, but after the first block period, I requested a particular focus to improve my stability and waist/core strength, and the tweaks in the second phase almost immediately changed my body for the better and improved functional areas I was hoping to address. The initial nutrition plan was good, and I drew a number of things from it, so I think anyone could use that to good effect. I did then change things up so that I was meal planning along the guidelines provided for energy balance and macronutrient profiles, and I have found the slight shifts I made in a lot of our go-to meals to result in more satiety and generally more sustained energy and muscle support (I think!). I would definitely recommend Nathan as a knowledgeable and supportive virtual personal trainer. I have been consistent with the program throughout, far more so than when I am self-directing historically - great results. This is my last week (ending 11/16/2025) of 16.

I'm wrapping up my final week in the four months Vegan Superhero Academy program and have loved every minute of it. I have gained quite a lot of strength, lost 17lbs so far and have a completely different mindset regarding vegan eating and weight training. My coach, Nathan Perrin, did an outstanding job of meeting me where I was and helping me gain strength and confidence in lifting more than I thought I was able. I was thrilled that he was able to provide workouts based on the equipment I already had at home as I really didn't want to join a commercial gym. I did pick up a few "extra" dumbbells and an adjustable bench along the way, not because I was made to but because I saw the benefit in doing so. I also really appreciated the overall accountability as I needed that while changing my overall mindset. The workouts, while intense, were not overly time consuming and new workouts were provided along the way to help me to continually gain overall strength, fitness and to work towards a new physique. I highly recommend VSA; I was initially a little intimidated when looking at their website but that was squashed upon my initial meeting with Alan. VSA seems to be for everybody regardless of fitness level or age (61 in my case). I feel equipped to move forward in a most positive manner. Thank you, VSA and Nathan.
