Nathan is by far the best personal coach I’ve ever had. Vegan gym has transformed my mindset and identity for the better of human kind. I’m truly inspired for the vegan cause to be in the best shape of my life so that I can I can appropriately advocate for the animals and the wellness of the earth. Love this program and love my coach. Looking forward to the next year if the momentum program I’m signed up for!

Thanks for an amazing review, Daniel! It's been a pleasure to get to know you so far and see how much you've grown. The progress you've made in your training and your mindset is incredible, and I can't wait to see what you're capable of achieving in the future! Time to work on those muscle-ups! 💪 - Coach Nathan

VSA - a life changing program
My time in VSA has been absolutely incredible so far! I am just finishing up four months of consistent training with my coach, Coach Nathan, and it has been amazing. I’m looking towards beginning the “momentum” program after graduating from the beginning stages of “ignite” if my life allows it at this time and am so motivated to keep pushing forward. My Coach (Nathan) has been such an inspiration to me during this journey and so supportive of my goals. I have reached 2/3 of my own personal goals that I set in the beginning for myself in just over 3 months (including being able to do 10+ full pushups, and deadlifting double my body weight). Coach Nathan has pushed me past boundaries that I didn’t even know I could overcome, including feeling more confident and comfortable in my own skin. I have been able to take control of my eating habits again, as I’ve had an issue with eating disorders in the past, and am healthier than ever with this current program! Not only have my eating habits become better, I am feeling more energized, have slimmed down, and lost 7lbs in just 4 months! I have never seen my physical appearance in this light prior to participating in this program. It’s just amazing to know that I have been able to accomplish so much and have an amazing support system behind me to cheer me on throughout the process. I love that VSA helps the vegan community to gain knowledge in all aspects and isn’t just a “one time fix” program where it’s easy to fall back into old habits. The purpose of the consistent coaching provided is to ensure that myself, as a member, can continue to succeed as a vegan in the health community and improve my LIFESTYLE permanently, not temporarily. Coach Nathan was understanding that unpredictable events happen in life and made every effort to get me back on track with my goals, despite some minor setbacks I faced. He encouraged me with a kind heart and motivation to keep pushing myself. He believed in me even when I didn’t always believe in myself and wanted to give me my confidence back. Coach Nathan was able to teach me so much about fitness form, meal prepping, how to adapt to the stressors of life (both in the fitness industry AND in my personal life) and overall just help to better me as a person. I’m so thankful for the support I’ve had along this journey and so thankful for Coach Nathan, VSA, and everyone that has been apart of this milestone with me. Let’s keep showing the world that being plant based is a superpower!!!

This review is long overdue!
This review is long overdue! I'd like to point out that I'm no longer a member with Vegan Gym as I write this. I joined at a time where my life was super chaotic and I just didn't have the focus to jump into such a rigorous program. That said, even with those challenges, my experience was wonderful!!! Coach James is one of the most supportive and kind people I've met. Even when I felt like I was epically failing and unable to stay on track with my food and fitness plan, James would be right there each week, encouraging me, reminding me of my "why." I went on the Vegan Gym retreat last August on my own and I was super scared. It ended up being an amazing time meeting other people who chose a Vegan lifestyle and wanted to take better care of themselves. So even though the program itself wasn't a good fit for me at the time, the people involved in this beautiful mission are so dedicated and caring. I'll never forget it. Thank you so much James, all the Vegan Superheroes at VG!!

Thank you so much for the thoughtful and kind review! It’s awesome to hear that you had such a positive experience, even during a chaotic time in your life. I’m thrilled that you felt supported and encouraged, even when things got tough. The retreat last August was unforgettable, wasn’t it? Meeting so many inspiring people who are passionate about the vegan lifestyle and self-care was truly special. I’m glad you were able to be a part of it and that it made such a great impact on you. Remember, your journey is unique, and sometimes timing is everything. You’re always welcome back whenever you’re ready, and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
Keep crushing it, Jen! —Coach James

Best support for a vegan lifstyle
Coach James has been a great support. I wasn't looking to bulk up or be a slave to the gym. My coach really worked with me to focus on my goals-health and longevity, flexibility and balance. The inches lost and strength increases were just bonuses! The Vegan Gym allows for you to be engaged with like-minded individuals looking to live their healthiest vegan life. They provide you with a bounty of food and exercise plans, on-line group sessions, weekly challenges and one-on-one time with your coach. This is an amazing program and I am forever grateful for my time here!

I started eating plant based 9 years…
I started eating plant based 9 years ago - and gained weight. My husband lost weight! I tried everything "whole food plant based", "raw til 4", no oil/salt, no gluten etc. Nothing worked. Apparently I wasn't eating enough calories nor the right macros. VSA has a fantastic education program that targets whatever your needs are. I am armed with exactly what I need to do to be toned and fit the rest of my life!
I was matched with Coach Arman who was always positive and informative. He explained the science behind the diet, even how to massage specific muscles for how they're built. Arman was so knowledgeable about form, how to heal or protect sore muscles and how to get the most from a workout and the diet. Simply the best coach!

My biggest muscle: Consistency
There's a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. VSA was a bold step, but I'm so glad I took it. I was matched up with Coach James, and it couldn't be better. His gentle spirit comes through in our conversations. He lets me think through things as we discuss them, which I think is a true coach/client relationship, rather than barking orders to do things his way. He is focused on sustainable habits and workouts I can keep up with. Thanks to this program, I have stuck with a workout schedule, learned more about my nutritional needs, and grown my "consistency" muscle. Yes, I've lost pounds and increased my lifts, but my bigger goal is being consistent and becoming the person I want to be: which is someone who does what they say they will do.
I also love seeing the diverse group in the coaching calls - there is no right or wrong age, physical type, or gender. Just a great group of people learning to live as fit and healthy as possible while saving the animals and the planet. You'd be silly not to join us!

I also love the diverse and supportive community we have in our coaching calls. It’s wonderful to see everyone coming together with a shared goal of living a fit and healthy lifestyle while making a positive impact on the planet. Your words mean a lot, and I hope they encourage others to join our incredible community. Keep up the fantastic work—you’re an inspiration to us all!—Coach James

I am so glad I joined the Vegan…to reach my health and fitness goals.
I am so glad I joined the Vegan Superhero Academy! The support and resources that I enjoyed here are phenomenal. I can’t say enough about Coach Megan, she is thoughtful, motivating and helped me through my 90 day program. I have a crazy work schedule and she created at home and at the gym workouts to help me hit my health and fitness goals, as well as, meal plans and guidance for my hectic days. I feel like I crushed all my goals, learned a tremendous amount about health, fitness, menopause and living a vegan lifestyle. I know that this program has set me up for success moving forward. Coach Megan, you are amazing coach and person and it would not have been as much fun without you. All my thanks! Clea
