Great experience! I received great coaching and accountability. The meals from the dietician were easy to prepare and delicious too. I achieved some body recomposition, strength gains and feel great! Nathan was a great coach!

Life-changing Experience
I wish I could give The Vegan Gym 100 stars. I joined a year and a half ago and it is the best decision I have made for my health and fitness ever. My coach, Lucasz, is the most patient, understanding and supportive trainer I have ever worked with. To date, I have lost roughly 22 pounds, am fully (and happily) vegan, and am able to do things, like running 😳, that I never thought were possible for me. I plan on being a part of the Vegan Superhero Academy for a very long time and am confident I will meet and exceed every one of my fitness goals. I can't recommend this program and community enough. Thank you Coach Lucasz and the entire staff of The Vegan Gym. We're family now!!! ❤️

Individualized science backed practical advice
Individualized science backed practical advice from my fabulous coach Mislav has transformed my body, mindset and nutritional habits in a few short months. So far I have lost 6 inches around my waist and sixteen pounds. at the same time I have gained muscle and strength. I was to "shy" to join the Facebook groups for a while but now count my Facebook accountability partners as friends and they help motivate me to keep on track posting daily food photos and exercise.
Coach Mislav taught me how to break down facial adhesions which resolved my plantar fasciitis.
I had the opportunity to also work with the VSA nutritionist Anna and she helped me with a plan to carry my proteins as I was beginning to react to a soy centric plan. Now I eat legumes of all types, fave bean tofu and pea protein in addition to occasional soy and my heartburn has resolved.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the other coached I have come to love: Sarah, Lukas and Brian. They each take turns along with Mislav leading weekly team calls and I have learned so much from them about all things nutrition, strength, mobility, mindset and more. They truly care about their VSA members.
As I discerned whether to sign up initially and re-enroll in the program, I weighed it against hiring a personal trainer. But with VSA you get SO MUCH MORE. They are not rep counters, they are partners in your health and well being.
The weight loss part of my program has sometimes been slow for me. I had a three month plateau that I needed to lean into my trust for the program, myself and my coaches. I did and I did break through. I have only 5 more pounds or so to loose-but more importantly I have so much more to gain in terms of strength and living a long healthy life.
Mislav is a funny, smart and compassionate coach who understands the big broad topics of health and fitness and mindset issues that drive success. You would be lucky to work with him.

Teresa, this review made my day (and probably added an extra rep to my workout 😄).
Thank you for trusting me and the VSA team on your journey! You’ve put in the real work, and it shows.
Losing 6 inches of visceral body fat, gaining muscle, saying goodbye to plantar fasciitis, and even kicking heartburn to the curb! That’s a highlight reel right there! I’m especially proud of how you leaned into the accountability groups and turned “shy” into “strong.” That’s not just physical strength; that’s mindset mastery.
Also, big shoutout to our RDN Anna, and also coach Sarah, Lukasz, Brian, and the whole crew! You nailed it when you said we care deeply about our members. It’s a team effort, but you’re the one putting in the reps, cooking the legumes, and choosing progress over excuses.
You’ve got only a few more pounds to your goal, but as you’ve noticed, the real win is the strength, health, and confidence you’ve built for life. I feel lucky to coach someone as committed, curious, and fun as you. Now let’s keep crushing those goals (and yes, fava bean tofu counts as fuel for greatness).
Coach Mislav

I loved my four months in 2025 with…
I loved my four months in 2025 with VSA, which I found through an endorsement from Dr. Michael Gregor. At the beginning, I had started menopause and had lost a ton of weight and muscle. I felt fragile and weak, and I was fairly certain that I could not turn my situation around for the better. I worked with Coach Daniel, who practices what he preaches. At the beginning of my contract, I set 3 goals. Throughout the contract, I watched my body respond in wonderful ways. I wish I could have continued, but it is damn expensive. I asked VSA leadership to post their prices more transparently. Their lack of transparency gave me an initial impression that VSA was a shady business, but I trusted Dr. Gregor a ton. I communicated with several VSA members, and our payments were very consistent. I just wish that people with less money could access such amazing guidance for their health.

10/10 and all the stars for VSA and Coach Daniel!
The universe (and the always-listening algorithms) brought The Vegan Superhero Academy to my attention and I'm forever grateful for the experience! I'd already embraced the vegan lifestyle and exercised regularly before joining VSA, but I wasn't seeing the results of my efforts, and I needed information and guidance. VSA promised individualized programming, meal plans, access to education, and personalized one-on-one coaching. It delivered on every single front -- especially the coaching. I had a long conversation with my success coach, Steve, who took the time to ask me what I was looking for in one-on-one coaching. Wanting to test VSA's "completely personalized" claim, I told him exactly what I wished for and gave him an extensive list of requirements. He told me I had described Coach Daniel Louwrens and that we would be a perfect match. He was absolutely correct!
Coach Daniel met me exactly where I was and gave me the tools I needed to finally see success. He listened to my goals and gave me a path to achieve them. When I had nutrition or training questions, he gave me real answers backed by scientific studies. On top of being incredibly knowledgeable, Coach Daniel genuinely cares about guiding people through the VSA program. He walks the walk and talks the talk of a dedicated vegan athlete. Working with Daniel has taught me how to show up for myself so that I can show up in other areas of my life. It's not just about eating vegetables and going to the gym. I'm very proud of the physical transformation I've achieved with the VSA program, but I'm even more proud of the mindset shift that I've experienced working with Daniel. He has truly been a gift to my wellness journey and my life in general. Can't put a price on that!
In the coming months, I'll be "graduating" from VSA. The lessons I've learned will stick with me forever. The Vegan Superhero Academy is the real deal! I'm so grateful that I said YES to investing in myself.

Kelly, what an inspirational human being you are. You have made it through thick and thin, and while it's been amazing to help you step by step, it's been even more amazing getting to know you and sharing in all those wins. You are one of the hardest workers I know, and you are truly a superhero, a Diane Prince, a Wonder Woman! - Coach Daniel

Highest marks for VSA & Coach Daniel
I feel incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to Coach Daniel Louwrens through the VSA. Coach Daniel is a superb fitness coach, with an encyclopedic knowledge of exercise and functions of the human body. Also, he is an inspiring example to his fitness clients, walking the walk and sharing his experiences along the way. Most importantly, Daniel is an gifted personal coach. He is insightful and authoritative, while keeping his clients on track to pursue their goals, all the while acting as their greatest cheerleader. Compassion, expertise, insight and heart are all rolled into Coach Daniel's formidable frame. I am so grateful to know Daniel, and feel incredibly lucky to have him in my corner during my fitness journey. 5,000 stars!!!

Wow, Dave, such amazing words! I am overcome with emotions when I think of everything we have faced together as a team, and as friends. From physical to emotional challenges, I couldn't be more proud of someone, and more thankful for someone showing up for those around them. You're a good person, Dave. Thank you. - Coach Daniel

Not just another fad…
I’ve done more ‘weight loss programs’ than I’d care to admit and this program is completely unique. There is real science behind their fitness, nutrition and lifestyle coaching. Their approach is on the full person not just a calorie deficit and exercise program. The dedication to mindset change (and thus better overall commitment and results) has blown me away. Thank you for your expertise coach Daniel and the vegan gym!!

Rachel, thank you kindly for such great praise! In reality, this is all your hard work - showing up for yourself and those around you! I'm incredibly proud of the mindset shift we have seen, even more than the physical results - both of which there is still plenty to come! - Coach Daniel
