This program is unparalleled. While I joined to improve my physique, I found so much more. I learned not only training techniques to achieve and sustain muscle growth in the gym, but I also gained significant positive changes in my mindset, specifically concerning my relationship with food (now on the path to healing a lifetime of disappointment and shame) and focus on perfectionism (now giving myself room to fail and grow). All my coaches (Coach Sarah, Coach Andrew, Coach Emma and Coach Chiara) have taught me invaluable lessons about taking care of my body both in the gym and the kitchen. The coaches' expertise in fitness and healthy vegan living has completely changed my life. The Vegan Gym also provides a supportive and caring community of coaches and clients on Facebook, which I never used before but have found invaluable to my progress. If you're interested in veganism and a healthy lifestyle, this program is worth every penny.

The VSA and my amazing coach
The VSA and my amazing coach , Coach Simeon, have changed my life. For years I have struggled with low body image and a feeling of being completely paralyzed with what I should be eating and how I should train to optimize my health. This program , under the expert direction of Coach Simeon, has given me my health back. I feel strong, confident , athletic, and at peace with food for the first time in my life. I am new to veganism and had no idea how to begin this journey. Coach Simeon has given me clear direction and guided me not only with his incredible knowledge of health, fitness, and nutrition, but his kindness, reassurance, and support that have pushed me to continue even when I wasn’t sure that I could do this. I have learned that being vegan can often leave you feeling like an outcast, being the only person in my circle of friends and family to live this lifestyle . Coach Simeon and the VSA family have made me feel like I am part of an inclusive group full of like minded people. In this group, I belong. I’m not the outcast at this table. I could not have come this far without the expert advice and guidance of Coach Simeon. Thank you Coach. You truly have impacted my life more than you could know. I’m so thankful you are part of my journey to the best version of myself.

Hey Kim,
I am incredibly thankful for your kind words. It’s humbling to know that VSA has played a pivotal role in transforming your health and overall well-being.
Your journey reflects not only your dedication but also the power of our collaborative efforts and I’m delighted to hear that you now feel strong, confident, and at peace with food. Navigating the path to veganism, especially when surrounded by differing lifestyles, can indeed be challenging. I’m thrilled that you’ve found success with having an incredibly awesome vegan lifestyle and keep being dedicated in the face of challenges.
With gratitude,
Coach Simeon

Investing in Your Health & Fitness Journey
Expect to be met with open welcoming arms no matter where you are at in your own personal health & fitness journey. I came in with some knowledge of a whole food plant-based way of eating and ZERO fitness experience. There is a wealth of course material available for you to work through at your own pace. The Facebook community is a great resource all on its own. There are weekly Zoom calls to take part in - the coaches and the rest of the group are so supportive. I was unsure how fitness coaching would work online but I was pleasantly surprised by the video format that allows for positive and constructive feedback.
I have the amazing opportunity to work with Coach Ruari! Ever since our first Zoom meeting he has been supportive and encouraging. He has created my coaching program to fit into my lifestyle and schedule – and even adapts and makes changes as I move forward in different areas. I have gained the confidence to create new goals in my fitness journey that I never thought possible. I look forward to continuing this journey with his inspiration and guidance.
Ultimately if you want to get long-lasting and sustainable success you are going to have to put in the work - but VSA is a great companion to have in your corner!

Janessa - Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience so openly and inspire others to take the leap you have. From the first day in the program you've been so open about your struggles and trusted in me to overcome them which takes bravery and has ultimately led to the fast results you are seeing. I appreciate your commitment to yourself and this journey, I cannot wait to see where it takes us next! - Coach Ruari

Are you worth it?
Coach Marc and VSA has made me believer in the power of coaching, of community, and of becoming a healthy, strong, fit, muscular vegan. This group has shown me healthy vegan food choices & taught me about macros and calorie goals and ways to reach them. I learned how to lose fat (I lost 16 lbs. in first 4 months) and gain muscle (I put back on lbs. of lean muscle these last 4 months) sustainably. I'm lifting more in the gym and crushed my 5K goal within the first few months. I started hardly being able to do a chin up and can now do almost 10 real pull-ups.
The VSA facebook group is supportive and a key element to staying consistent. As with any coaching program you get what you put in. With VSA your investment will quickly compound if you let it. Trust the process, trust your coach, believe that you are WORTH it and you will succeed. VSA and Coach Marc have given me the power and confidence to believe in myself and crush my fitness goals. I am over 40 and can finally say that I truly am in the BEST SHAPE of my LIFE... and still IMPROVING!
It isn't a questions whether VSA is worth it or not. The real question is are YOU WORTH IT enough to give yourself this gift of creating a better, healthier, stronger, smarter version of you. If so, VSA can help.

Had some doubts but super glad I joined
Had some doubts but super glad I joined the program!
I'm really glad I joined the program and learned all the stuff I know now supported with coaching. Before joining I wanted to go vegan (again) but I wasn't quite sure how to do that and make gains in the gym as I've tried it before and found it really hard. With the program I hoped to mainly find some answers nutrition wise like what to eat as I thought the training was OK. Well I guess it was OK but with the program it's definitely better now! It's packed with so much knowledge and support, from your coach but also from the other people in the program. Thanks to the program I'm now fully vegan and confident I'm making the right choices both in the gym and the grocery store. My coach also helped me with some questions like how to handle social situations, eating out and going to restaurants that might not have vegan options.
One thing I liked the most before signing up is that it's a program designed to make your own independent choices when leaving the program. It's not only helpful while being in the program but also afterwards. In the first weeks, everything is setup in consultation with you so you can crush it nutrition and exercise-wise. The weeks after you can slowly progress to make your own choices while still having your coach watching over your shoulder or asking for help if you need anything. Throughout the program the coach is really helpful and definitely better than figuring everything out by yourself. I was a bit sceptic before joining because I have no motivation issues going to the gym or tracking my calories but the program truly is a game changer and fueling with knowledge, even more motivation and awesome results. I'd highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to go vegan or even after being vegan for a while and want to work on their bodies.

Dennis, it's been really awesome to work with you so far and your willingness to learn and seek out progression will take you really far in your journey, I can't wait to see what the future holds for us and I know we will achieve your goals and more! - Coach Ruari

I have absolutely no regrets!!
I stumbled on the Vegan Superhero Academy purely by accident but am so so so happy I did! After losing a significant amount of weight on my own in 2020, I had hit a wall with my weight loss journey and decided to focus on just maintaining my weight. In 2022-2023, I was dealing with a significant amount of stressful life events, both good and bad but I found myself slowly putting some of the weight I had lost back on. My mindset was to just exercise hard and eat as little as possible but I was really struggling. I started trying to incorporate more high-protein meals into my diet which led me to The Vegan Gym YouTube page. I went to their website to look at the nutrition calculator they mentioned in a video I saw and found that really helpful! Anders reached out to me the next day, and we just chatted about my goals, challenges and progress so far. It was the first time I felt really heard as not only a woman, but as a vegan! One of the things preventing me from getting a coach in the past was fear of being judged for living a vegan lifestyle. I quickly started to realize I did it on my own last time, but I didn’t have to this time!
I then was connected with Michael to talk more about the academy. As a highly introverted, shy and socially anxious person, I was so incredibly nervous for this phone call. Michael was so warm, friendly and easy to talk to, and like Anders, he made me feel truly heard.
Once I officially signed up, I was paired with Coach Ruari! Coach Ruari has been so great to work with. He welcomes all my questions and always responds despite being in a different time zone. It feels like he not only listens to me but hears me, and he is always willing to help adjust the meal or fitness plans to customize it and make it more approachable for me and my life. I have only been working with Coach Ruari for a few weeks so far, but I am already seeing the positive impact of working with him on this journey. I have so much more energy from filling my plate with the correct amount of calories and protein for my body and activity level. I have been able to keep up with cardio better than ever before. I was even able to run a whole mile without having to stop to catch my breath, for the first time in my life! I also have had the courage to face some of my fears, like going to the gym as well as registering for my first tough mudder race! I also have found myself just feeling more confident and capable because I have already been able to break down some of these mental barriers I couldn't get past before. I feel like I am learning that so much of my previous fitness struggles were mind over matter and I am so excited to see what else Coach Ruari and I can accomplish together! Despite being in VSA for a short time, the community they have created and the expertise is next level. I am confident that this program is going to change my life and I have absolutely no regrets making this commitment!

Allison, thank you so much for sharing about your journey and how you made it to VSA, your willingness to be coachable and step outside your comfort zone are key reasons why you're seeing so much success and I am equally as excited to see what's to come as I know we have a winning formula as a team! - Coach Ruari

VSA changed my life!
To say VSA changed my life would be an understatement! For years I tried countless diets and workouts that had no effect on me. Because they were not designed for me, they were designed for the average woman. Most of them weren't even vegan and I would struggle with what I was supposed to be substituting meat for. I became very frustrated and thought I was going to be overweight for the rest of my life. Then I found The Vegan Superhero Academy and all my dreams came true! My meals and workouts were catered to me, my likes and dislikes, and how my body functioned. In no time, the pounds and inches melted off! The best thing about VSA is the overwhelming amount of support you receive from your coach, the owners and all the Facebook groups. You are definitely not alone in your journey. I would highly recommend VSA to anyone. Especially busy single moms like me that have tried and failed at almost every other program out there. With VSA, there's no need for countless hours at the gym preforming workouts designed for other people or endless hours meal prepping. VSA is designed for the real world, for real people. I promise you will not be disappointed!

Thank you so much for this amazing insight into VSA Angie; it has been an absolute pleasure working with you; seeing you getting stronger, more consistent, and leaner each week was incredible!
You absolutely made the best of this experience, learning a lot and changing habits quickly and permanently. I cannot wait to see you keep up the amazing work and get in even better shape mentally and physically. You are such an inspiration! :D - Coach Chiara

Vegan Gym is a wonderful community
I am so thrilled to be part of the Gym and to be in the Superhero Academy! The entire team at The Vegan Gym is behind every client’s journey. They have created a wonderful community which sets them apart from so many health companies out there.
Coach Lukasz has been amazing to work with on my health and body composition goals. He is extremely knowledgeable and supportive, and is a fantastic cheerleader. Our coaching sessions are always upbeat and fun and he always helps me find the best path forward in my journey.
All the coaches on my team are amazing and offer so much value to all the clients, through zoom calls, support on our Facebook group, and webinars each week. I’m so grateful for the Vegan Gym and for Coach Lukasz for helping me find confidence and a clear path to better health and self-love!
