The best coaching experience I've had is with Lukasz!
I have had the best experience with Lukasz as my coach. When I get bored with workouts he gladly changes them out. Same for the nutrition, when I don't like something, he changes it for what I like. He checks in on me regularly and if I have a question or concern he responds quickly. His goal is to make my experience the very best experience. He is a caring person as well, interested in my personal experiences as well.

Join the Vegan Gym and CRUSH IT! I started the Vegan gym almost 12 weeks…
I started the Vegan gym almost 12 weeks ago. I have substantially increased my strength, dropped 5 inches from my waist, gone off one blood pressure medication, reduced my A1C from 6.1 to 5.6, and went from a resting blood sugar of 113 to 87. I have lost 16 pounds and can lift a 5 gallon jug of water one handed. Coach Marc has been excellent to work with. He has provided an easy to follow nutrition and exercise plan that just works. The plan has incorporated my goals and preferences and is built with sustainability and consistency in mind. Marc is extremely communicative, always making time for any struggles or concerns I may have. I cannot recommend the Vegan gym enough. This has been well worth the money. You have every chance to meet and exceed your goals in this program. Join and crush it!

VSA changed my life…
VSA changed my life more than I could ever imagine!!! I thought it was going to be about getting fit while not harming any animals! It was so much more than that! Not until I looked back on my journey did I realize it was more about being stronger mentally.
I struggled with thinking about food 24/7, am I eating enough, am I eating too much, I have to be perfect with my nutrition, I have to look perfect on the outside, am I working out too much or not enough, etc. Why is nothing I am doing working? I was obsessed. Then I found VSA. I worked with a couple of coaches, specifically a coach that loves CrossFit as much as I do. Coach Andrew and I talked about my nutritional goals and my CrossFit goals. He wrote up workouts for me to perform better and get stronger. Unfortunately within a month or so I got injured (not CrossFit related) and had to have rotator cuff and biceps surgery. My last 6 months of VSA was recovery. Coach Andrew helped me so much by pushing me safely in my workouts and keeping me on track with my nutrition! I would have gone back to my old ways if it wasn’t for Coach Andrew. I am a completely different person. Food no longer consumes me. I track my food to make sure I am getting all the nutrients/fuel that I need. I don’t obsess over it any longer. I’m not perfect. No one is perfect. I just remember my goals and what I need to get there. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for VSA and Coach Andrew!!!!

Audrie, I will always be thankful that we got to work together! Although an injury is never what an athlete wants to navigate during their time in a program, we made the most of it and learned some incredibly valuable lessons along the way. I think we both agree that it was a blessing in disguise! You came to appreciate how important mobility, stability, and accessory work is when it comes to becoming the best CrossFitter you can be. You shoulder is going to be fitter, stronger, and more stable than it ever was before! All because you put in the work. Great job minding your nutrition all of those months and not going back to bad habits. I cannot wait to see what you accomplish in your CrossFit journey, and it's encouraging to know that we'll be fitness friends for years and years to come. -Coach Andrew

VSA has been transformative for me
VSA has been transformative for me. At 66, being diagnosed with osteoporosis brought the realities of aging into sharp focus. My life has been characterized by being underweight and lacking muscle. The prospect of entering retirement frail and susceptible to associated disabilities was unacceptable.
Around the same time of my diagnosis of osteoporosis, I sustained a shoulder injury requiring surgery.
Six weeks post-surgery, I came across VSA in an advertisement featuring Lief, the cofounder of VSA, alongside Dr. Greger, whom I greatly respect. The ad included a protein needs calculator, which piqued my curiosity. After calculating my protein requirements, I was astonished to find I had been falling short. I have been vegetarian/vegan most of my adult life. This realization led to my engagement with VSA.
Upon joining, I was paired with Coach Mislav.
Completing the 90-day program, I opted to extend for another year. The initial period was revolutionary. Coach Mislav identified my undereating habit and crafted a meal plan with familiar, real foods tailored to my lifestyle. He instructed me on tracking macros to meet my protein and caloric intake for muscle gain without fat.
Coach Mislav proved to be an ideal fit. With his kinesiology background, he integrated techniques like pandiculation, yoga, and myofascial release into my regimen. As I was rehabilitating my shoulder, he adapted exercises and introduced me to specific techniques that aided in strengthening and restoring mobility.
My aim was to increase lean mass and weight, and the body composition changes over the 90 days have been incredibly satisfying.

There she is, our wonderful Diana! Thank you so much for sharing your transformative experience with VSA! Hopefully, it will inspire people in similar situations, and give them hope for overcoming osteoporosis. It is a true honor to be your coach, and I’m looking forward to our next 12 months together! -Coach Mislav

Great Experience!
I feel incredibly lucky to have had Coach Emma guiding me through my journey. She was exactly the mentor I needed, and her impact on me was profound. Her expertise and support enabled me to achieve things that would have seemed overwhelming alone. Even when my personal life threw curveballs unrelated to the program, she remained a source of encouragement.
With my hectic travel schedule, staying on track could have been a major challenge, but Coach Emma was there every step of the way. She tailored workout routines and meal plans that I could seamlessly incorporate into any location. Thanks to her guidance, I managed to shed ten pounds in just three months. Now, armed with the knowledge and skills she imparted I feel confident that I can continue this journey towards a healthier lifestyle.

Liz! You just brought the biggest smile on my face! We shared a very special journey together, and our paths crossed for a reason. It was incredible to witness your growth and progress in VSA, I'm so proud of you and all the hard work you've put in on your health and personal development journey. Remember, this is the start of the rest of your life! I'm so sad to see you go, I will miss our coaching calls but it's not a goodbye it's just a see you later! - Coach Emma

Super caring and effective coach
I cannot recommend Brian Longowski highly enough! His guidance and patience has truly been a lifesaver. His coaching was exactly what I needed to get me on my journey towards better health.
From the beginning, Brian demonstrated an unparalleled level of understanding and empathy. Despite my initial struggles and frequent setbacks, he remained supportive, offering encouragement and practical solutions to help me move forward.
What truly sets Brian apart is his willingness to tailor his approach to suit my needs and circumstances. Instead of adopting a one-size-fits-all mentality, he took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and challenges, crafting personalized strategies that were both realistic and achievable. I think this is what made me feel empowered and helped me overcome the obstacles that came my way.
Thanks to Brian, I have made significant strides towards my health goals. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such a compassionate and dedicated coach, and I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking positive change in their lives to reach out and begin seeing your own results.
Thank you!

Amazing Coaching from Lukasz
My coach Lukasz was amazing at helping to keep me motivated and giving me encouragement when I was struggling with my busy nursing schedule. I had dieted and exercised in the past, but wasn’t doing it properly so I wasn’t successful. Just three months of this program helped me to lose 10 pounds and an entire pants size so far. It’s expensive but worth it. This was money well spent.

Thank you so much for such a great review, Mary. I am extremely proud of you for putting in the work and trusting the process. Way to show up for yourself! I am confident you will continue making progress moving forward. -Coach Lukasz

Great Experience with the Vegan Superhero Academy
I was a member of the Vegan Super Hero Academy for three months and I just finished a few weeks ago. Although I was skeptical about joining at first, I’m so glad that I did. Ruari, who was my coach, helped me to positively transform both my eating habits and my exercise routine. In fact, he taught me how to eat enough protein as a vegan, which was something that I did not know how to do. Also, he created meal plans that were tailored to help my specific health problems. And, when I asked him to make changes, he always did.
Also, prior to becoming a VSA member, I had not worked out in a gym since COVID. Fortunately, Ruari convinced me to join a gym, and he gave me a three day home workout and a three day gym workout. I can honestly say that if it weren’t for Ruari and VSA, I would not have joined a gym again, at least not anytime soon. Needless to say, I’m so glad that I did!

Cindy, it was a pleasure to work with you and I'm so happy we were able to navigate a path that ended in sustainable nutrition, movement, and overall improved health! I look forward to continuing to follow your journey and see you improve everyday - Coach Ruari
