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.

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!

I decided to join VSA after I saw an Instagram post with Dr. Greger and one of the founders of VSA. I have followed Dr. Greger for years and thought I might give VSA a try to help me gain muscle. I was already vegan/ vegetarian and fairly lean so I thought having a coach to guide me with a nutrition and workout plan would help me achieve my goals. I was paired with Coach Emma and she was very supportive of me . I had difficulty eating the suggested protein to gain muscle and lose body fat. I stuck to the program as best I could, and lost 3 inches on my waist and gained a little muscle. I gained about 2 pounds. I could actually see some growth on my biceps . My journey will continue past the 90 days as my goals require time and dedication. I can say that having a coach helps one establish new helpful habits with nutrition and exercise to help achieve one’s goals. It is not a quick fix. I was grateful that Coach Emma was understanding when life threw some unexpected punches at me. With her encouragement, I did the best I could,and now have a blueprint to continue on my own. Coach Emma revised my meal plan and workouts as it was evident I had been overtraining. I also had new life challenges where I had to do more workouts at home. She never gave up on me. Perhaps if the program were a little more affordable I’d continue with VSA . It was a leap of faith for me to embark on this journey. It was a financial sacrifice as well as true grit with daily and weekly accountability to my coach. I made some gains and feel good about it. Keys to success are meal preps, mental and physical fortitude = good outcome. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was cost making it not available to most people. However, my coach Emma was a 5 star coach.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
