Best Fitness/Nutrition Experience EVER!
Prior to joining the Vegan Superhero Academy, I had tried three other programs without much success, so I was reluctant to go for number four. My goodness, I am SO glad that I did. The support, the education, the community is so engaging and there are so many opportunities to connect with other vegans who are going through the same thing you are. Leif and Anders have definitely created something unique, something fun, and something that drives you to meet your fitness and nutrition goals in a way that is healthy and sustainable. I also have to include my Coach, Amber, in this because I literally could not do this without her. Between developing workout plans that work for me not against me, awesome recipe plans, and being open to answer questions, she has truly become my biggest cheerleader and guide through this program. If you have any reservations about joining, trust me, as someone who has been through so many, this is the one!

The Unexpected Relationships that Changed my Life
I joined the Vegan Superhero Academy with a fair amount of skepticism. I had never tried fitness coaching before, online or in person, so I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I went vegan for the animals, and when I made the switch, I assumed that good health and a toned physique would naturally follow. I was wrong about that and over the years, my health started moving in a direction I didn’t want it to. Not because I wasn’t consuming animal products anymore, but because I wasn’t eating well or staying active. Knowing you should be doing better is one thing. Actually taking consistent action is something else entirely, and it’s difficult to make that kind of commitment on your own. Knowing I was able to take the step into veganism for the animals, I knew in my heart that I was capable of doing more for myself.
Going into the program, I expected to build a relationship with a coach who would guide me through the process of losing weight. What I didn’t expect was the additional relationships I would form along the way. Through VSA, I became part of a community of people on the same journey, facing similar challenges and working toward similar goals.
That sense of connection made a significant difference. The program opened the door to a supportive, like minded community that made the process feel achievable.
The other relationship I hadn’t expected to develop was the relationship I have with myself. These coaches aren’t trying to sell you pills, shots or weight loss gimmicks, they help you develop intuitive behaviors to carry forward into the rest of your life, to live a long healthy life. I learned to communicate with myself differently and develop realistic expectations, when to lean into my goals and when to give myself grace. My coach opened my eyes to the person I can and want to be, and supported me each step of the way.
As someone who doesn’t speak up much about the things I want to stand for, these relationships I’ve developed have helped me feel more confident in myself. The ripples I’m making are moving other people in my life in ways I didn’t think were possible.
I am forever grateful for the relationships I’ve developed, with my coach, with the community, and with myself. This has been one of the most important steps I’ve taken in my life. If you’re not sure if you’re capable of doing more, please know that you are. This experience is an investment in yourself, and you deserve it.

Must Read BEFORE you sign up!
After reading the responses to the poor reviews, you can see how negatively you will be treated if you sign up and have a challenge financially or with motivation. Spending 3-5k to be encouraged to be your best physical self should also include some compassion. Profit over people is why I wouldn’t recommend them to everyone-just those that are committed and willing to make (or lose) the investment.

The Vegan Superhero Academy is so much more than I expected!
I followed the Vegan Gym on YouTube for about 6 months for recipes and motivation on high protein, vegan meals and meal prepping. I joined the Vegan Superhero Academy looking for more support on customizing my diet and solving some specific issues I was having related to sleep, hormonal health, and hitting my protein targets consistently. I have been completely impressed and delighted with my experience. The coaches are amazing - especially my coach, Sarah Bright, who is smart, funny, and a stickler for sanity. I can’t tell you how many times she’s caught me trying to be a crazy person or forgetting that I’m human. My goals included losing weight, eating for sleep, understanding how my body is adapting to menopause, and starting a weight lifting program that I don’t hate. I’ve continued to lose weight (10 pounds of fat in 5 months), I am sleeping well, I completely understand my hormonal journey and how I want to support myself at this time (thanks to Dr. Daphne), and I LOVE my weight lifting program. What I didn’t expect was that I’d be learning how to eat well and fuel my body in new ways and that I’d get a heart health program that has improved my resting heart rate, heart rate variability, and VO2 max (I didn’t even know what that was) from low to the top 14% for my age. I am also in a vegan desert. I don’t know a single other vegan in my life. Being part of VSA also gives me a fabulous community of wonderful vegans who encourage and support each other every day.

Vegan Gym is the SuperHero I was looking for!
Vegan Superhero Academy changed my life!
I spent a year and a half going through the program (both Ignite and Momentum) learning foundational nutrition and fitness concepts that will carry me through life moving forward. I completed multiple personal goals with my coaches by building custom weekly systems that work for my complex lifestyle. They were instrumental in navigating challenges and guiding me through seasons of hardships, which helped me stay on track for my long term goals. These will stay in my back pocket for when new challenges pop up!
I cannot say enough about the wealth of knowledge and support VSA gives their clients. Through masterclasses, community boards, weekly one-on-one check ins, retreats… there’s honestly no way you can fail!
I would recommend this program to anyone who’s looking for a health & fitness superhero to come save them. (Because spoiler… it’s YOU!)

One of the better decisions I've made!
Joining VSA is probably one of the best decisions I've made.
This program takes care of the exercise, nutrition, and most importantly mindset and accountability, all in one. There are a ton of resources, one-on-one coaching, Masterclass, group sessions, in-person meet-ups, and much more. My Coach Nicole is absolutely fabulous extraordinary coach, and just a kind soul. I check in with her almost every day with all the good, bad, and the ugly. She knows when to patiently listen, and when to push me past all the drama and get back into it. Initially I had so many questions, and she'd get back to me right away, always encouraging and motivating. I love working with her!
The meal prep and tracking macros was something I had to get used to. It was a learning curve, but again, necessary and worth it.
Overall, I highly recommend this program. This is something you invest in for yourself, for your future.

Shweta, I really appreciate you sharing this - thank you!
You’ve been an absolute pleasure to coach. You showed up, asked questions, worked through the challenges, and kept going even when things felt hard - and that’s exactly why you’ve made the progress you have.
So proud of you and everything you’ve achieved. This is just the beginning.
