I have been working with Coach Ruari for about four months now and just signed up to work with him for the next year. The Vegan Superhero Academy is an incredible system that is helping with all aspects of my nutrition and workouts. Ruari has helped me gain a better mindset towards achieving goals. Looking forward to what the next 12 months bring in my nutrition and fitness objectives.

Coach Ruari guidance has been invaluable.
I saw Leif on a Dr. Greger video presenting a calorie calculator. It peaked my interest as a plant-based eater. After speaking to Anders about the Vegan Superhero program I realized there was a ton of support and information I needed to eat a healthy vegan diet and have the right nutrition to exercise properly. Coach Ruari has been amazing and has lead me through three months of protein education as well as setting up my exercise program n the Hevy app. My meals were catered to my likes and dislikes and the calorie counting was set up for me. An exercise program was set up for me. I shred 14 lbs and now am being guided to pick my own meal plans, prep and exercise with his guided help and advice. Thanks Ruari for supporting me and getting me on a successful start to my journey as a superhero vegan!

From carnivore to vegan without losing muscle
I had great success when I began my fitness journey 15 Months ago, eating a carnivore diet. 6 Months into my journey, I reduce my meat intake by 80% 3 months later when I got my 2nd DEXA scan I lost 2.7lbs of muscle!! I immediately stopped working out. I was lost for months trying to figure out how to not lose muscle without eating meat until I found the vegan gym on YouTube. I was so impressed with Leif Arnesen’s story I called them to inquire about their Vegan Superhero Academy. After speaking with Michael, I decided to invest in myself to learn how to lose fat and not muscle while lifting & eating a vegan diet.
I’m so happy I did! I followed Coach Sarah B’s workout routines and nutrition recommendations. I lost 3.1lbs of fat .09lbs of visceral fat and I only lost .02lbs of muscle! I’m ecstatic!!!
Thank you, Coach Sarah B for critiquing the workout videos I sent you. You helped me to have confidence in my form & prevented injuries. You gently push me to increase my weight. During our weekly zoom meeting. You answered my endless questions on how to be a weightlifting vegan without losing muscle. Your knowledge on vegan fitness is extensive! You and VSA have empowered me to feel confident on my vegan fitness journey.
I also learned a lot from Dr. Daphne’s menopause mastery course, VSA teachable & weekly emails, & The Vegan Gym’s podcasts

Coach Gergo Jonas helped me PR my half…
Coach Gergo Jonas helped me PR my half marathon injury free. His shared knowledge and programming for my workouts were amazing. I gained more strength in 90 days with Coach Gergo than any other program I have been involved in (including CrossFit, Boot Camps, etc).

Hey Kylie,
Thank you so much for your awesome review! Running a half marathon PR and that you stayed injury-free it's a huge win! It’s been a pleasure working with you and seeing your strength skyrocket over these past 90 days.
I’m glad the programming hit the mark and helped you make such great progress. Your dedication and hard work really paid off, and it’s been inspiring to be part of your journey. Keep crushing it, and if you ever need more support down the road, you know where to find me!
Congrats again on the PR!

Lukasz is THE COACH you need!!!!!
Lukasz was an incredible coach! Initially, I was a bit skeptical due to his age, but he quickly won me over with his friendly personality and patience. He has a unique ability to explain the reasoning behind my personalized program, making it easy to understand and follow.
As a new vegan, I faced challenges with nutrition. Lukasz was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the process and providing valuable advice on navigating tricky foods like beans. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to successfully incorporate beans into my diet without any digestive issues. He taught me that my body needed time to adjust and recommended a gradual introduction. Additionally, Lukasz introduced me to the chronometer game, which has helped me track my nutrition and make healthier food choices. I love the game!
Lukasz also pushed me out of my comfort zone with new challenges like push-ups, pull-ups, and Cossack squats. He's a supportive cheerleader, a tough coach, and a hilarious friend. Thanks to Lukasz, I've not only lost weight and inches, but I’ve also gained strength, confidence, and discovered a newfound love for vegan living. He's a valuable asset to VSA and has had a significant impact on my journey. I am forever grateful and forever a fan!✌🏾

Gergo Jonas VSA coach
Gergo Jonas my coach has been the most amazing help in my health, fitness and overall well-being not only for me but my family. I have never met a trainer, physician, coach or advisor that goes the extra mile like he does. I can honestly say I am truly grateful for him coming into my life. Anyone is very fortunate to have him in their life if they are lucky. I have been seeing, feeling and loving the changes in my body. I can not say enough good things to express how much his advice has helped me. You can also see that he truly cares for his clients and that is the most important thing. He is truly creating better lives. Thank you so much Gergo and VSA for all the help and support.

Everyone can be Vegan
I had the opportunity and honor to work with my coach, Tiana. She was my cheerleader. She’s approachable, personable, and always texted me to see how I was doing with the VSA program. She was very knowledgeable about exercise and nutrition and gave valuable tips. I thought a Vegan lifestyle would be hard, but eating plant based whole foods helped me heal from the inside out. After having a stroke in 2023, eating vegan food helped me to continue to recover. I also want to give a shoutout to Michael L, Dr. Daphne Bascom, Emma, Daniel, Anders, and Leif for this program. I will continue to move forward and carry all the tools you taught me to live a healthier life. Thank you!

Hey Kristina! Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute honor to be part of your journey, and I couldn't be prouder of everything you've accomplished. You've shown incredible dedication, resilience, and openness to learning. Seeing you thrive and knowing that plant-based nutrition helped you recover and heal from within has been amazing. We are all so proud of you and excited to see what you’ll accomplish next.
