My coach Nathan has been helping me rebuild after my total knee replacement surgery. I’ve been helped to better understand my diet and the importance eating healthy as well as full body conditioning.

Thanks for the short but sweet review Mike! It’s great working with you and seeing how consistent you’ve been pushing through all the challenges you’ve faced! I’m excited to see how much more progress you can continue to make over the next year 🙌 - Coach Nathan

Vegan strength training for the WIN!
I found The Vegan Superhero Academy when I needed to be accountable to someone other than myself to eat well and get (and stay) fit as a 72 year old. I clicked on a FB link, watched a video, took a quiz about what nutrients I was missing, and I was responsive to the sales call inviting me to this group.
It was pricey! And I hesitated. But I was ready to commit to myself and my health. And I'm so happy I said 'yes'.
Joining this group, and working with Coach Arman, really has been an investment in reaching my current and future health goals. Calls with Coach Arman were supportive and informative. In addition to great workouts and meal plans, he really supported me with improving my mindset. He has a great 'can do' attitude and helped me maneuver through disruptions to the daily routines, like vacations.
My mantra for years has been 'I am lean, energetic, healthy, and strong!'. Meanwhile, I'm overweight and not so strong. But Coach Arman pushed me to challenge myself and, since I was very consistent with the workouts, I have made great progress.
An important part for me is the vegan aspect. I've been vegan for 8 years, working towards whole food plant based (cutting out junk vegan). It's been discouraging in years past to speak with trainers and follow influencers who push meat and dairy in order to build muscle.
I have found great joy in joining a strength training group that fully supports and encourages a 100% plant based diet.
The Vegan Superhero Academy is an inspiration - in addition to individual coaching they offer masterclasses and access to experts in their fields. I did not participate fully in their online presence, but I could tell that those who did also made great progress.
This group offers a wealth of knowledge and encouragement. I now have a solid platform to continue my own health and strength journey. Thank you Coach Arman and The Vegan Superhero Academy!

Jeannette! Thank you so much for the kind words, and this is a powerful message! It has truly been a pleasure getting to know you and being your coach. Watching you inspire others, and prove to yourself that you can do anything, has been nothing but a privilege. I know it's only going to get even better from here. Keep in touch!! - Coach Arman

This isn't just "a program" — it's YOUR program. Absolutely life-changing!
If you're one that just reads the first line of a review and skips the rest, just know this: VSA and my coach Daniel Louwrens are amazing. I would have given up on reaching my goals again without them.
I came to VSA with a long history of failures. For years, I disliked the person I saw in the mirror, not out of vanity, but because I didn't feel like "me." I'm a committed person, so the issue was never my consistency; it was that I could never find a program that actually fit me. I had started to believe my genetics were the problem and I was simply "cursed." Every piece of advice like "just stop eating so much" or "just accept yourself" felt like a knife.
I decided to give myself one very last chance with VSA, starting with zero expectations. That's when I met coach Daniel Louwrens, and I found not only an incredible coach but a genuinely great person, a positive soul, and a friend.
Week after week, Daniel patiently proved to me that my genetics weren't the issue. The real problems were a lack of guidance on proper exercise form and not understanding how to build meals for my body and goals. He noticed my curiosity for the "nerdy" aspects of fitness and nutrition. Instead of ignoring it, he encouraged it, sending me materials to read and watch, and providing incredibly detailed feedback on my workout videos.
This is the core of the VSA experience: coaching session after coaching session, you work together to tailor everything to get closer to YOUR GOALS. Not some generic template, but a plan built for you and with you.
If you're unsure whether it's worth it, know that you get so much more than a plan. You get calls, video analysis, masterclasses on everything from sleep to stress management, and a coach who is there to guide you, assist you, celebrate with you, and make the program truly YOURS.

Wow, Andrea, the words you speak are truly touching. I am beyond proud of you, what you've achieved, what you've overcome, and in such a short time already. Your eagerness to learn and improve is stunning, and I know with a work ethic like that, we have much more we will be able to do together. Here is to so much more, my friend! - Coach Daniel

These people are fantastic
These people are fantastic! Very knowledgeable, thorough, and always in contact to keep the success progressing. I’ve already lost 20 pounds of fat and gotten stronger just 3 months into the program. My blood pressure has improved, I’m sleeping longer and better, and I’m getting compliments from everyone who knows me. Definitely worth the money. My coach Daniel is phenomenal too. He seems to always know what challenges I’m going to have before I have them. He’s right there to explain the situation and the adjustments to stay on track.

Thank you kindly, Russ, for your words; they do mean the world. In the end, it was you putting in the effort, the work, and the many miles walked. I am beyond proud of you; your work ethic and character are infectious. Here's to so much more! - Coach Daniel

VSA and Coach Lukasz are amazing!
I joined VSA and was blessed with coach Lukasz. Just completed 33 days of awesome! The program is amazing and he is just one of the reasons why. I am in my 60s looking to build strength not only am I doing that, I’m learning about food and how it works and so many other health related things. This program is amazing! I love VSA, and I love my coach I can’t imagine my life without this program and his coaching support.

Thank you so much, Kat, for such a heart-warming review. Your dedication and consistency are truly admirable. Keep at it, and I have no doubt you'll continue making progress, and I love being in your corner. - Coach Lukasz

Changed My Life
Joining VSA and working with Coach Marc has changed my life! I’ve been plant based for many years and I was able to lose about 60 lbs on my own before joining VSA. But then I was stuck making no progress on my fitness journey.
VSA taught me that I wasn’t eating enough total calories or protein. With Coach Marc’s guidance I’ve added strength training to my workouts and I can now lift some impressive weight being almost 69 yrs young. I talk with Coach Marc each week where we adjust macros and workouts as well as celebrate wins or problem solve challenges from the previous week. He is always available via text if I need some help.
Coach Daphne (an MD) has taught me how to care and nourish my post menopausal body to optimize my health. She conducts free webinars on Thrive on Plants offered by VSA. Highly recommend you check this out.
Coach Marc and Coach Daphne have helped me work on changing my mindset. I was someone who had excessive negative self talk and expected perfection of myself. I can now appreciate my wins and learn from my setbacks. My fitness journey is a process based on being consistent and does not require perfection.
I strongly recommend VSA!

Thank you for your lovely review Susan! You’ve done such incredible work, not just physically with your strength gains, but also mentally, as you’ve shifted your mindset. That kind of progress is what it’s all about. I’m so glad the guidance from both myself and Coach Daphne has helped you break through that plateau and build a healthier, more sustainable approach. Your consistency, attitude, and willingness to grow are inspiring. So proud to be a part of your journey!—Coach Marc 🌱💪

Susan, thank you for the joy of being part of your journey. It has been a pleasure to see you grow stronger mentally and physically. You are an amazing example of the fact that age is just a number and the only limitations are those we set for ourselves.

Absolute Best Vegan Training and Nutrition Program Available
I joined VSA after never getting the results I wanted in my fitness and health goals. I was apprehensive at first paying for an online program when I never achieved the results I needed; however I am blown away at my transformation in just 7 months.
VSA is a full service academy that offers one on one coaching and I have the absolute best Coach Marc. He has created a nutrition and workout program that made all these changes possible in such a short time and in a very sustainable way. I have lost approximately 30 lbs, reduced my blood pressure, came off all blood pressure medications, reduced visceral fat and built lean muscle.
Additionally VSA offers so much more. Support classes in nutrition, stress management, toxic free living, movement classes, men’s and women’s advisory classes and many other subjects.
This is a team environment and there is a roster of other Coaches that guide along the way and a community of participants who meet weekly online to support and cheer on each other.
Hands down the best decision I have ever made in my health and fitness journey.

Thank you for your lovely review Rick! I’m so happy reading this! You’ve made such an incredible transformation, not just physically with the fat loss and muscle gains, but also improving your health in a big way!! It’s been an absolute privilege coaching you and seeing you show up with such consistency and dedication. I’m glad you’ve felt supported not just by me, but by the whole VSA team and community. This journey is just getting started, and I can’t wait to see what you achieve next!

Long term success
I’ve been a client for 500 days & counting. With all body transformation and recomposition processes, it takes time and ongoing changes to the plan to deliver results. This is all part of the package at the Vegan Gym. If I am struggling balancing workouts with life at the moment, my coach partners with me to make changes that work with my life; if I have an itch to go after a new goal, my coach partners with me to make that new training and nutrition plan.
It’s 100% personalized with a 1:1 relationship that is backed up with a community of people going through similar journeys.
More content available than you could ever consume, more opportunities to grow and evolve than you’d ever imagine.
The cost is high, however the results are more than worth it in my opinion- I was a “beach body coach” and did all of those programs - they are 100% not the same and a waste of money compared to this partnership and the aim of having you set up for long term success.
Jump in!

Thank you for your lovely review, Kate! 500 days—and still crushing it! I can’t tell you how inspiring it’s been to walk alongside you through this journey and watch you crush absolutely every goal put in front of you! You’ve embraced the long game, and that mindset is exactly what leads to real, lasting change. I’m especially glad to hear how much the personalization, partnership, and community have meant to you. It’s not just about hitting goals, it’s about building a life that supports them. Thanks for trusting the process and bringing your all every step of the way!
