The Vegan Superhero AcademyReviews of thevegangym.com

Being part of a supportive vegan community made it easy for me to shed over 50lbs. With knowledgeable and compassionate coaches I was guided on a journey of transformation through sustainable lifestyle choices. With kind & caring coaches like Coach G you can reach your goals!

My experience with the Vegan Superhero Academy was absolutely phenomenal and pivotal in my present and future successes. Under Coach Gergo Jonas' tutelage, I lost 16 lbs, 2-1/2 inches off my waist, and increased my training volume by 243%. Though all of the scalable victories are phenomenal, they pale in comparison to my increased self-confidence, new found belief that I can actually attain my goal of becoming a bodybuilder and how to exercise mental toughness. Coach G has helped to realize that I am still and always will be an athlete. Coach G - I want to thank you for your help, inspiration, and encouragement along the way. I'm a great work in progress, however your support and tough love has helped me progress so far within my journey. I can't that you enough!

I came to VSA by way of internet search looking for help to get my perimenopause symptoms under control. I couldn't believe that there was a program for vegans that also had support for menopause–it seemed too good to be true! Once I watched Coach Daphne's YoutTube video on How to Master Menopause, I knew this program was for me. With the help of Coach Daphne's Menopause Mastery Program, Coach Arman's fitness and nutrition guidance, and the emotional support from the other members of Team Titans, I was not only able to get my symptoms under control, but I also got into the best physical shape I've been in since playing sports in high school. In addition, I learned so much about the changes my body is going through, understanding the role nutrition and fitness plays in my overall well-being, and just how to better listen to my body and understand what it needs. I am so grateful to have found and joined this program and highly recommend it to anyone ready to make positive health changes in their life!

Working with Coach Arman of the Vegan Gym was a game-changer for me! I was struggling with fatigue and low energy when we started, and had no idea how to change things. Coach Arman not only helped me understand why I was feeling that way, but he also provided personalized guidance and education to help turn things around. I now have a deeper understanding of my body’s nutritional needs and feel better than ever. Arman has helped me shift my mindset about vegan eating and given me the tools to finally feel energized and healthy. I can't recommend the Vegan Gym enough. Thank you!

Wow!! I’m so glad I stumbled upon Leif’s meal prep YouTube videos because this is what led me to The Vegan Gym program and Coach Megan. I began eating 100% plant based just over 6 months ago, and was looking to gain knowledge on navigating a plant based diet and making sure I could hit my macros. I got that and so much more with Coach Megan. Fast forward to the end of my 90 day program and I’m down 6.8% (9.4 lbs) of body fat while maintaining all of my muscle mass! Megan was able to work with me to change my program for travel and to focus on what my goals were during the program. I really wanted to be able to complete 5 pull-ups by the end of the program. Thanks to Megan’s thoughtfulness in building my lifting plan I was able to hit that goal halfway through, and now am able to do 7! Megan was also able to help me plan ahead for events and travel to make sure that my nutrition was on-point and had great recommendations for easy go to meals! I’m so glad to have gone through this program and will continue to utilize everything I learned in this program moving forward.

5 stars isn't enough stars. I found VSA at a time in my life where I really needed some guidance. Not only did I need guidance in my diet, I also needed it at the gym. VSA provided me with an abundance of life long knowledge. A few months prior to finding VSA, I had tested positive for rheumatoid arthritis. I changed my eating habits and began eating plant based foods to help with my RA. Mainly, I was just eating raw fruits and veggies. My protein would come from plant based protein shakes. I was going to the gym 4 days a week, but I wasn't gaining any muscle. I kept losing weight. When I started with VSA my goal was to add 10 pounds of muscle. So VSA put me with the best match they had, Coach Arman. Coach Arman came up with with the proper meal plan, and the proper workout based on my goals. 3 weeks into my meal plan, I realized soy was causing my RA to flair up. I told coach Arman, and we immediately came up with replacement foods ideas. Coach Arman is very knowledgeable and is an amazing coach. He was always positive, and willing to answer all my questions. He helped me achieve not 1, but 2 records at my gym, the squat and deadlift. Coach Arman is a 10 star coach. Everything about my plan was very well and carefully thought out. The one on ones you get weekly with your coach keeps you honest. It keeps you engaged, and it keeps YOU involved in your program. If you're stuck and not sure where to start, or how to start, I highly recommend using VSA. They will give you all the tools you will need to be successful during and long after your time at VSA! 🌱

I have only great things to say about VSA, which I’m relieved (overjoyed really) to report after being so skeptical finding it on YouTube 6 months ago. I started the year with a new fire under my ass telling me that I need to seriously change the trajectory I’m on or else I’ll continue to feel the way I’ve been feeling for YEARS (capable of feeling great sometimes, but ultimately coming home to feeling disappointed in life, unsure what’s worthwhile anymore, exhausted by feeling hopeless,…). I thought I’d never pay for a one-on-one coaching program because “I’m not the kind of person who’d do that” (I was afraid I’d spend a ton of money and be stuck in the same spot, or scammed). I’m so so grateful I went for it. I started because I felt prone to injury despite my attempts to stay in shape. The types of workouts I could do were narrowing. I had a spinal surgery in my teens and wanted to be active but already injured myself trying to learn weight lifting on my own. I also struggle with bulemia and wanted support in developing a new mindset around eating, workouts, and life in general that would sustain me through time, instead of be a quick fix. This felt like too much to ask from any one program. I’d tried talk therapy, somatic therapy, and bodywork, all of which have helped me along the way, but deep down I still felt…such despair fundamentally, stuck in an understandable but ultimately unhelpful victim mentality. I think VSA has been such a great fit for me at this stage in my efforts because I felt ready to put a plan into action, and I felt I just needed help learning what plan to do that would be truly sustainable. I didn’t know if what I was eating was enough or too much. I wanted to be intuitive with food and read the books but wasn’t sure that I was genuinely doing it. I wanted to feel like I could hope for great things and also have the mental grace to maintain hope when things didn’t go as planned. I wanted to see the scope of my physical activities expanding, not contracting, despite what everyone says about the prognosis of living with a spine surgery. I wanted to build a life for myself that felt worthwhile, that I was proud of and excited for. With VSA, I feel like they want this for me too! I not only got an impressively customized, thoughtfully curated plan, but I get a weekly check in with my coach whose quality of presence is so admirable and consistent. I feel my coach is great at being both real with me (funny, relaxed, no BS) and really compassionate. As a healthcare provider, I experience difficulty bringing consistent compassion to every client visit, and I’ve found that I learn from my coach how to do that better with my clients and how to be kinder and more accountable to myself with a realism and gentleness that I hadn’t experienced before. I’ve gotten used to the feeling of surprise that my coach is so incredible at what he does. In terms of tangible results, I now have a morning routine I’m so proud of and brings me more calm throughout the day. My hip and neck pain has gone way down and I can weight-lift safely without aggravating my old injuries. And, I’m training with some friends to go on a 3 day bike trip that I never thought I could do before! I appreciate my kitchen more (used never like being there). I learned I need to eat way more protein (even more than back when I ate meat), and I feel that’s been helping me reduce my tendency to injury. And, I’m learning to enjoy cooking because I’ve found vegan recipes with Asian flavors I grew up with. There’s more, but you get the gist! Hell yeah! I’m excited to have so much more time with VSA, to continue gradually integrating this different way of relating to myself, experiencing what it’s like to go through the ups and downs of learning how to embrace my agency. I feel this program is genuinely built to empower me to know how to take care of my unique self through my 30s, through menopause, into old age with kindness, accountability, community, flexibility, discernment, patience, and hope. Thanks VSA!

VSA is an amazing program. I stumbled on it one night Googling information on vegan fitness training. Finding VSA was unexpected. I certainly wasn't looking to join anything. I'm so glad I decided to jump on board though. This is an impressive community. There truly is nothing like it anywhere else out there. I've been vegan for 16 years and I did not what how much I did not know. There's so much more to learn. At first I was intimidated at the thought of having a coach. But, I was paired with Coach Łukasz and he's been a game changer. He has so much knowledge it's incredible. He is so personable and has a great sense of humor. I feel completely comfortable talking with him in our calls. He explains everything and answers my questions in ways I can understand. He's so encouraging and has way more confidence in my abilities than I did. He talked me through setting goals for myself and, for the first time, I'm reaching them. I couldn't do it on my own. I'm so grateful for Coach Łukasz and happy I decided to do this!
