The Vegan Gym has been a great experience for me. I am 64 and have struggled with being obese/overweight my entire life. I had short term success with many diets but none were sustainable. I started eating a WFPB diet 10 years ago. This started as another attempt to lose weight but as I learned about the health, environmental and animal welfare benefits I have wholeheartedly embraced this lifestyle. However, I was still fat. I assumed it was something I was doing wrong. A big shout out to Joey Troxel (plantbaseddads) who was brave enough to share in a YouTube video that he was struggling with weight loss and making a change. This was when I learned about The Vegan Gym! I was hesitant to make the commitment and spend the money on what I feared would ultimately be another failure. I am very happy to say that has not been the case. I have steadily lost weight in the past 7 months (25+lbs) even when traveling overseas, a 2-month camping trip and visiting family! With Coach Marc’s guidance, compassion, experience and encouragement, I am becoming leaner and more fit. The weekly coaching calls keep me on track, physically, mentally and emotionally. The resources made available are phenomenal! Without hesitation, I can say this is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. It’s not easy but it IS worth the time, money and effort!

Health and diet has always been a passion of mine, but as I’ve aged (70+), I’ve struggled with my weight. I’m a lifelong vegetarian and vegan for the last five years. I’ve lost weight with other programs but overtime the weight crept back up. The Vegan Super Academy combines, coaching, diet, teaching modules, weight lifting, and a whole community of Vegan Super Hero's. IT WORKS!! This combination with all the support of the Vegan Gym community has got me over halfway to my goals. Thank you Marc Hayes, for your knowledge and encouragement and compassion. And thank you to the whole Vegan Super Academy team and fellow superheroes. The Vegan Gym has changed my life.

I started with VSA and Coach Marc in February 2024; I LOVE this program! I was vegan from 2018-2019 and lost weight, but wasn’t fully happy with my physique. When I decided to go vegan again this year, I wanted support in figuring out how to lose weight and achieve a figure I was more happy with. Marc and VSA have helped me transform into an entirely different person, and it’s only November 2024! Aside from looks, I also love VSA because they’re of their philosophy; they simply want folks to become the best, healthiest version of themselves, however that looks FOR THEM. Going into this program, I was scared as I had never done a fitness program before. I didn’t want a pushy coach that made me feel worse about my body than I already felt. I have not felt this way AT ANY POINT during my time with Marc and VSA. When I have “fallen off,” Marc has been so supportive and encouraging. He balances understanding with challenge and I cannot understate how much I appreciate this approach. I HIGHLY recommend this program! ♥️🌱💪🏼

They are able to craft a plan for someone on a vegan/vegetarian diet. They were able to work with my constraints of time and they have plenty of good learning resources to help understand the science of body recomposition.

The Vegan Superhero Academy is set up to ensure your success. The staff take the time to get to know you and your goals before pairing you with a coach. Once paired up with a coach, the process to get started is very involved. The more information you can provide, the better your experience will be. With all big life changes, this process will require you to be vulnerable and ready for change. My coach, Megan, was kind and very receptive. She took the time to evaluate all my goals and need for support. The nutrition and fitness plan were spot on based on my initial evaluation. Every time we met, she took the time to check in on where I was and evaluate if anything required adjustments. After our zoom calls, she was quick to send me notes about our meeting and any action items for follow up. She messaged me throughout the week to check in and provide support. She reviewed my workouts and provided feedback. I always felt comfortable coming to her if I needed something. Perhaps most important, she genuinely and enthusiastically celebrated my wins! I found that I wanted to reach out to her right away when I experienced a win. For example, when I had to shop for a new formal outfit. I tried on a medium shirt to find that it was a bit baggy. I grabbed a size small and headed back to the fitting room to discover it was a perfect fit! I text Megan right away and was met with joy and celebration. I cannot say enough great things about my success in the program or the incredible support I recieved. My one advisement is you have to be willing to do the work, be honest with yourself and your coach, and don't throw away success if you experience any setbacks. This program is not a diet, it's a coaching program for a lifestyle. Change and success will come, but with all things, garbage in, garbage out. If you're ready for change, then make the call today! You won't regret it!

I had a great experience w VSA! It was the right program at the right time for me. I now feel much more confident in the gym and feel like I made great gains in my strength. I felt like going into the program as a longstanding vegan, I would not learn a lot re nutrition but I actually did learn a lot of helpful information. I absolutely LOVED my Coach (Coach Sarah!) and will miss working with her so much. She had the perfect coaching style for me and was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. Thank you VSA!!!

It all came down to 2 things for me - communication and trust. My coach Tom and I were in frequent contact before and during my program term. He was always listening and helping me make changes both big and small. Because Tom distinguished himself as a partner on this journey from the jump, I quickly learned to trust him. And that trust was well placed. We were able to dig deep and talk about the things I needed to in order to make this program such a success for me. We exceeded all the goals I set for myself and I feel primed to continue on this path with confidence. Thank you!

The Vegan Superhero Academy program has been a total game changer for me! It’s more than just a nutrition and fitness plan, it’s a vibrant community of amazing people who cheer you on every step of the way. They make no false promises, instead they help you set realistic goals that are totally achievable. Being part of a community that truly understands the vegan lifestyle has been incredible. I felt fully supported throughout my journey, and my results speak for themselves. I’ve lost fat, built lean muscle, and feel healthier than ever. Trying on clothes that used to be way too tight and now fit loosely is such a fantastic feeling! Just a heads-up, you will end up needing a whole new wardrobe ;) I had a blast with my coach, Gergo Jonas (aka Coach G). From our first meeting, he was super friendly, easy to talk to, and incredibly knowledgeable. While in the VSA program, I was studying to become a personal trainer, and Coach G helped me tackle challenging topics that boosted my confidence for the exam which I passed with flying colours! The VSA not only helped me achieve my fitness goals, but it also became an unexpected source of mentorship throughout the process. Your success truly depends on the effort you put into yourself and the program. Stay dedicated, and you’ll see the results roll in!
