I had a great experience with my coach & the VG group. My coach shared great information & was incredibly supportive in helping me set healthy boundaries with & become more intuitive with nutrition & fitness habits. I feel the time spend in this program helped me make a lot of mental & physical improvements that will forever stick with me & help me continue to progress in my health & fitness journey. The program was great in providing well laid out educational modules, covering several different topics, & the support groups & constant zoom presentations were very encouraging & helpful in improving my overall mindset around overall wellness. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone to establish a good base of knowledge, mindsets & habits with vegan fitness & health :)

Paola,
it was such a pleasure coaching you! I am so sad to see you go, but I'm very happy that you feel ready to move on, having grown and learnt so much over your time in VSA. Seeing your mindset shift from when you started is incredible, it truly is the most impactful transition. It was such an honor to have guided you through this journey, and I am so so proud of you. I wish you all the success as you continue on your fitness journey.
Love,
Coach Tania

100% Made the Right Decision
I’ll admit, I was initially on the fence about joining VSA. When I learned about the program, I had recently started working out with a personal trainer at the gym and was skeptical that an online coach could have the same impact for me. I am thrilled to report that I was wrong about that.
After my first 90 days in the Vegan Gym program, I am 100% certain I made the right decision. I got so much more than a personal trainer when I joined VSA. I got a coach who truly cares about me and my progress, access to an incredible bank of vegan fitness knowledge and recipes, and a community of inspiring like-minded vegans across the world.
First things first, my coach and I are a match made in heaven. Coach Sawyer has become a friend and mentor on my fitness journey and it’s hard to imagine I’d be this far along now without his support. It is obvious that this is more than a job for him. He is passionate about helping people become the version of themselves that they want to be. He is genuine and kind-hearted, keeps me laughing and makes every day of this process fun. He believes in me and my potential. I have someone in my corner every step of the way, cheering me on, and always ready to share his wisdom when I need it. I have never felt more confident that I can achieve all of my goals thanks to Coach Sawyer. And that is the best thing I could have hoped for in a coach.
In just 90 days, I not only successfully reached my fat loss goal, I created new goals for myself. I learned a lot about what is possible for me and what I can achieve in terms of strength and fitness. I started my first bulk phase and am so excited about packing on some muscle. I feel stronger than ever, I am noticing my muscles in the mirror, and I am so proud of myself, not just for the physical transformation but the mindset I have developed that helped me earn this success and change my life for good.
Not only do I love my coach, I love the entire community of fitness focused vegans encouraging each other as we make progress toward our goals. It can be discouraging being surrounded by people who don’t get it, but the VSA community reminds me every day how many other amazing people want to be healthy, strong and save the world.
In summary, making the initial decision to join VSA was hard. Renewing my membership for 12 more months was not. I am blown away at what I accomplished in only 90 days and can’t wait to see the vegan superhero I am a year from now. I am ready to be the best me I can be and an inspiring force for change. Let’s do this! 🌱💪🏼

Brad, I could tell you were going to be a rockstar from our first conversation, even though I don't think you had a clue! You had a healthy mindset from the beginning, which is why you have taken off so quickly and stayed on top of it-- this was never about becoming someone else or proving anyone wrong-- it has always been about you living your best life because you know you deserve it. I am so proud of not only what you have accomplished physically in these three months, but also what you have endured that would have stopped most people in their tracks. You went through a car accident, a busy work schedule, previous bad experiences with nutrition and training advice, being new to the gym and technique, etc. You never questioned if it was worth it or if you could actually do it (or if you did, you never let on that you did!) and that's why you have been able to be consistent and thus gotten consistent results. You were always a badass just waiting for the right encouragement and information to help you take off! I also am so glad to have made a friend I have so much in common with (who else would text me about LOTR and Horizon on the weekends?!)!
Now all I can think about is that we still have at least a year for me to teach you and help you grow in all the ways I wish I had been taught when I started out. You are going to change and grow so much over the next year! I say that with complete confidence because I know the strength of your mindset; I wish I could bottle and sell it because man, YOU ARE POWERFUL!
Here's to the promising future!

A true transformation inside and out
Joining the VSA has been the biggest and best step to propelling my fitness journey forward! Before VSA I was stuck in a cycle where I would would work out for a few months, stop going to the gym for a few months, and repeat. I never had any gym or nutrition habits that were sustainable, and I was tired of the back and forth. Although I had been vegan for almost seven years already, I didn’t know much about nutritious eating. Joining the VSA and working with coach Mark has really brought me out of that yo-yo cycle and has taught me how to track my nutrition, re-shape my mindset, set realistic long and short term goals, and how to push myself in the gym! I lost ten pounds of fat and gained so much muscle in my first three months. I started off with a 140lb leg press and pushed 410lbs in my 12th week! I had never experienced strength gains like that before, and that is just one example. Learning everything I did about fitness and nutrition taught me sustainable habits, and I know that I will be able to continue on with this lifestyle. Coach Mark, all the other coaches, and the community are beyond supportive. They care so much about the well-being of myself and the VSA members.
The unending support of the community is something else that is really unique about the VSA. Having a whole community of vegans to support us and share our experiences together is truly something special!
I just signed up for an additional three months and I absolutely cannot wait to see what comes of it! This transformation is fully mind, body, and soul. Thank you VSA!

Breann,
You are truly an incredible human and a prime example of someone who is willing to put in whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Your desire to not only reach your goals but also to learn the why and how behind it all during the process is admirable, and something that will make you be able to sustain this for the rest of your life! I'm so proud of everything you have accomplished so far, not only physically, but mentally too. You are the definition of a Vegan Superhero and I am beyond stoked to get to continue to work with you for another 3 months! Let's do this!
With gratitude,
Coach Mark

When I first considered VSA
When I first considered the Vegan Superhero Academy I was looking to lose weight and get healthier. Joining was the best decision I have made! Not only am I working on my weight loss and health goals I have gained so much more! The biggest gain being the community. I have never felt such inclusion and encouragement and support before! The people in the program are all here working toward our goals together! I know when I have a bad day or if I have a good day I can count on my team for support, encouragement or celebration! And my coach Tania is THE BEST! She helps me create and crush goals. She is my guiding light and my biggest supporter. I wouldn’t be where I am today and making the gains I am without her never ending dedication and support!

Best Decision I Ever Made
VSA has completed changed my life. I have had chronic anxiety and depression for 20+ years and VSA has helped me so much, not just with physical changes and habits but more importantly mental changes. They helped me to believe in myself, develop healthy habits and really function well in life and enjoy life.
I absolutely love the community, the workouts, the meal plans and the coaches. My coach is an inspiration, a cheering squad, a friend, an extremely knowledgeable and patient teacher.
There is a great culture of support and non-judgment among the clients and coaches. You can be yourself in the program.
And yes, you can also become a buffed vegan superhero!! 😝

Cassie,
you have no idea just how amazing you are, which only adds to your charm. Witnessing your mindset growth and mental resiliency to move forward toward your goals is such a joy to watch. You are such a light in the community, we all love seeing you show up for both yourself and the rest of the group. I am so proud to be your coach, and also your friend. I'm so honored that you chose to continue working with me and in VSA for another year, and I cannot wait to see what you achieve. You are destined for great things!
Love,
Tania

best decision of the year
I knew I’d receive expertise when I signed up for VSA, but I couldn’t have anticipated the level of support I’d encounter. This group cares about their clients and it’s evident in the results they get.
As for my results, I still can’t believe how much I’ve progressed over these past few months. I trained for YEARS on my own and did my own research, and I thought I knew what I was doing.The program I received from VSA has been life-changing: my physique, health, confidence, strength, and belief in myself have all improved. VSA is so worth it.

Thank you Kim for sharing your incredible journey so far. To say I'm proud would be an understatement. Your physical transformation is nothing short of amazing (when I say my jaw dropped when I saw your before and after photos, I meant it HIT THE FLOOR), but the mindset shift is just something else. Witnessing your personal growth has been so rewarding, it's what makes this job so incredibly special. It's rare to meet someone you instantly click with, especially virtually from other sides of the world, and I know I've made a lifelong friend. I have loved being your coach so far, and I am honored that you chose to continue your journey with me for another year. I can't wait to see you totally surpass all of your goals, you are INCREDIBLE.
Love,
Coach Tania

Are you ready for your life to change?
I joined VSA after coming out of a really weird funk in December 2021. I had been vegan 2+ years and lifting weights for almost 10 years, but I didn't feel like I was making any progress physically.
I'm only 6 weeks into my program, and I LOVE IT! Truly the best decision I have ever made. I got paired with Coach Tania and immediately fell in love with her personality. She's wise, kind, and shares in many laughs.
I have seen incredible results in just the first month. But even more important than the physical results, the mental changes I've seen were so unexpected. I feel like I'm truly challenging myself and creating the best version of myself that I want to be.
The community of VSA has turned into my family including carrying inside jokes with all the coaches, sharing recipes with other superheroes on Instagram, and encouraging everyone to "choose their hard" each and every day.
Within the first month, I signed up for the annual retreat AND signed up for another full year. That's how much I believe in this program/community. That's how life-changing this has been.
Tania -- I love you so much haha! You aren't just my Coach anymore but truly my friend. Thank you for listening to me, loving me, encouraging me, joking with me, (and soon hugging me at the retreat!!) I can't wait to see where your guidance brings me in the next year together!!

Maddy, what can I say? I feel like from the moment you stepped into VSA, you instantly became part of the VSA family. You are a total ray of sunshine, and an absolute joy to coach. You ask questions, you are always looking for ways to improve and learn, you have the most beautiful, infectious energy. I CANNOT WAIT to see what the next year holds for you, as I know with your attitude and work ethic, you are destined for incredible things. I adore you, and the other coaches and clients adore you. I am so honored and grateful to be your coach, and your friend.
- Love, Tania

Just finished an incredible 8 months…
Just finished an incredible 8 months with the VSA. My coach Emma is nothing short of amazing. She was able to help me get into stage (bodybuilding) ready physique for my first ever shows in 2021 July and September. In my opinion what sets the VSA apart from anything in the fitness community is you may have one coach but really you have the entire VSA staff on board to review your fitness needs so that collectively you get way more years of first hand knowledge and experience into your fitness and nutrition programs. The courses/modules that come with joining are truly second to none as it's college level nutrition and fitness knowledge. The weekly live calls put on by the staff are worth their weight in gold. Working on a build season and will be giving my gained knowledge a try on my own which is something the VSA strives for(another rare goal in the fitness industry). I will be enlisting coach Emma again when I draw closer to my first powerlifting meet. I can't stress enough that this is a very powerful community that strives to provide the best. Working on my personal trainer certification so that I might be able to join the team one day. Investing in your health and fitness is wise. Using the VSA as the tool for that investment will be the smartest move anyone could make.
