Working with VSA and Coach Laura has been such an incredible experience for me. As an athlete, I have spent many years working on my nutrition and performance but really struggled to figure out how to translate that as I made the transition to a plant based diet. Laura helped me not only learn how to incorporate a vegan diet into my life, but also how to make some amazing athletic gains as well. I honestly wish I could continue this program and working with coach Laura for a very, very long time.

Jennifer, You are such a beautiful soul and I truly feel like it was fate for us to work together. It was an honor being your coach! Your transformation, both mental and physical, was amazing and I know you are going to continue to shine in life as you take all the tools we worked on together and apply them every day. I cannot wait to see where your journey takes you!

The Vegan Superhero Academy changed my life!
I’ve been vegan and exercising (including lifting) for years now, but I was stuck in limbo and spinning my wheels because I couldn’t find the tools I needed to truly progress. I had lost 84 pounds on my own but in the process became the textbook definition of “skinny fat.” My diet was decent but I needed help getting from “okay” to actually healthy. And no matter what I tried or how much I lifted my body composition simply would not change. Frustrating, to say the very least.
I’ve been listening to various podcasts (including many vegan-related ones) for years and in my continued search for ANYTHING to get me over the hump of mediocrity discovered the Vegan Gym podcast. I was hooked immediately. Leif and Anders were engaging, amusing and intelligent - and, best of all, not your typical meathead gym bros. And as I heard more about the Vegan Superhero Academy, and saw very inspiring and relatable testimonial videos and pictures, I knew I had to join.
Coach Alison was phenomenal. Her attention to detail and commitment to creating a program that worked for me (rather than giving me a program to work) - catering to my specific physical restrictions, weird dietary preferences, and complete lack of skill in the kitchen - was impressive. She always maintained a motivational and encouraging tone, and regularly tweaked exercises and meal plans based on my progress. And she was always available with helpful, informative responses to my unending stream of questions.
I’m truly stunned by the amount of fat I burned while becoming more toned and muscular. I have FINALLY achieved the body transformation I was hoping for (beyond my expectations, actually).
I now know *how* to eat and *how* to exercise in ways that work best for my mind and body. This has been the best money I’ve ever spent, and I HIGHLY recommend Coach Alison and the Vegan Superhero Academy. Five stars all around!

Daniel, THANK YOU for allowing me to be your coach. You absorbed SO MUCH info, asked the best questions so you could completely understand the process and your success was due to YOU following your plans 100%. You are a wonderful person inside and out and I hope for only the best for you as you continue to work towards those goals we set for you! I know you will excel!

What an excellent experience with VSA!
What an excellent experience with VSA!
Not only are the coaches supportive, but it's as if they're walking right beside you the whole way. What is also very helpful is the support from the VSA community. And though we are each on an individual journey, each client gets to connect with other like-minded individuals.
I highly recommend VSA for any vegans who want to take their fitness journey to a new level.
VSA has been a blessing and is the best A1 program available!

What a ride! I’ve loved every second of coaching you! You have overcome so much in such a short period of time. Watching you embrace this journey is super exciting, and watching you fight for your health and your body is incredibly beautiful. You are an amazing person, and I have been blessed by your light and you energy in my life. You have continued to encourage me just as much. Thank you for being a truly beautiful human being.
Love you girl!

No one mentions price
No one mentions price. Is it astronomical? The reviews are great but if not affordable it’s out of reach
Response from The Vegan Superhero AcademyMar 29, 2021
Hey Kellie, thanks for reaching out 🙂
It depends on what you need! We do not offer cookie cutter programs. Everything we do is fully customized to each client.
We’re not the least expensive option, but we offer the highest value without question. In the Vegan Superhero Academy, you’ll gain full access to our highly experienced team of personal trainers and vegan nutritionists (we have the most experienced vegan fitness team on the planet), but for less than it would cost to hire them individually. Plus we offer 24/7 support and accountability, 1-on-1 support calls, daily group coaching calls, and much, much more.
Our #1 goal is to help you build a healthy, sustainable vegan fitness lifestyle and get you to a point where you feel confident moving forward on your own. That’s how we transform lives and help spread veganism.
In other words, we TEACH our clients how to succeed on their own. That’s what makes us different from personal trainers and other programs, who might charge less per month, but don’t actually teach you how to succeed on your own because they want to keep you around so you keep paying them forever. Over time, that costs you far more money, not to mention lots of wasted time and unnecessary frustration.
Gaining confidence and belief in yourself, while crushing your goals and learning how to stay healthy and fit for life, is truly priceless. That’s what our program offers.
Here are a few snippets of TrustPilot reviews that explain the value of our program from the perspective of our clients:
“While I was a little hesitant at first about spending money on my fitness goals, I decided that it was time I really invest in myself, and putting some money down meant I had to see this through. It was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made.” - Samantha
“The best money I’ve ever spent!! These guys are the kindest, most giving coaches I have ever met. They are genuine, kind, smart, funny, giving and 100% dedicated to you and your goals and making them attainable and achievable. I could go on and on and on… join the family I promise you won't regret it!!” - Tim
“It is very much worth your money. Was it cheap? No. But I am far richer for having had this experience. No one can take away what I have learned about nutrition, fitness and about what I am capable of accomplishing.” - Samanta
“The support, positive energy, and encouragement from like-minded individuals is priceless! VSA has been the best investment I have made for myself. It transformed me physically and mentally and I will forever be grateful for this journey!” - Ashley
“I can tell you this works. I’ve seen many people from all walks of life with very different goals succeed. Don’t waste time/money on someone who “might” work. Get what you want. It’s worth it. You’re worth it.” - Lindsay
I hope their words encourage you to take the next step! I know investing in yourself can be a bit scary, but as Warren Buffet famously said, “the best investment you can make is in yourself.”

If we decide this is the right coaching program for you after our conversation, we'll make the finances work for you.
Regardless of whether you apply to our program or not, we really appreciate your interest in the Vegan Superhero Academy and we wish you all the best!!

Coach Laura is A Super Awesome Coach
Coach Laura is A Super Awesome Coach. I can truly say I was not eating vegan before joining this group. I am so glad I did. I’ve learned so much and completely transformed my body! Coach Laura truly walked me through the process.

It was everything I was looking for
It was everything I was looking for! I learned about macros and fueling myself, how to really push myself in the way I haven’t for a long time in the gym and a coach there every step of the way to answer questions. It’s a great vegan family support that doesn’t make you feel judged and is nothing but encouraging.

Oriana- I am so glad you took the leap and signed up for VSA! Your physical and mental transformations have been nothing short of remarkable and that was because you were ready and willing to put in the work. I know you are going to take all that you have learned and crush all future goals of yours! I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you!

This academy has changed my life!
This academy has changed my life. I initially joined to get stronger for my special needs son (he is strong). I quickly found out that I was going to learn things that would stay with me forever. My confidence has improved, I'm much more comfortable in pictures, I'm able to play with my son actively, and keep him safe and I don't feel any doubt about my nutrition. I've gained the knowledge and tools I need to stay healthy indefinitely. I will never be able to express just how thankful I am to Anders, Leif, Alison and all of the amazing community that supported me. I lost 16 pounds, over 20 inches and hit my lifting goals. Thank you VSA!!
