Incredible Opportunity - Life Changing - Mind and Body Elevating Experience
I've been Vegan for 10 years. It started with a plant based diet and evolved into the full vegan ethos of doing the least harm and the most good for my health and the planet. Over those 10 years, plant based foods have grown in popularity and access, and as such also have become less body healthy to win over more omnivores. It's a balancing act and I found myself quite unbalanced. Over the years, I tried many activities/coaches/trainers that all said the same thing. You can't achieve your goals as an herbivore in the world of building muscle. And every time I listened. I was unwilling to give up my moral and ethical commitment as a vegan, so I gave up on my goals in the gym. Besides, I was still fairly healthy compared to most and I was generally happy -or so I thought. With the 2020 rollercoaster of stay home orders and pandemic fear, I was faced with an expanding waistline and the realization that I wasn't totally happy, I was just good a balancing busy-ness with coping mechanisms (food, alcohol, medications) and none of those were sustainable for long term joy. Anxiety, depression, the heaviness of everything around me was weighing me down emotionally and physically. I found VSA via Facebook ad and took the leap to chat with Anders. Something told me just to do it and I signed up for the journey. I did the math on the cost of the program, and this 90 day transformation was actually less per than I was paying those trainers and gyms that told me no... And Anders was saying "Yes" without telling me I had to compromise. What did I have to lose? After these 90 days, I am 20lbs lighter, on zero anxiety medications (consulting with my doctor the whole way), packed on some lean muscle, eating more flavorful and healthy foods, and am living in a world of yes. My VSA Coach Laura is more than the person that sends me my workouts and checks in throughout the week... she's my mentor, my accountability partner, my soul sister! I have gained so much of myself in this process it's been absolutely transformative. After these 90 days, I decided to take another leap and keep working with Coach Laura for another 3-years - AGAIN, less monthly than my old trainers telling me no and the overpriced gym with classes and equipment that I was never going to use or benefit from. VSA gave me the tools in 90 days that I could do all of these things myself, but I signed-up to continue for accountability, encouragement, and because now that I have seen what I am capable of in just 90 days... my goals have gotten much, much bigger (so have my plans for my biceps, quads, pecs, tris, glutes...) Bottom line, VSA and Coach Laura saved my life. No exaggeration. My doctor is high-fiving me, my family is happy, I am 35 in better physical & mental health than I have ever been in my life, and I have let go of limiting beliefs... ready to crush bigger goals!

Chris You had me at “soul sister”!!! I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for taking the tools and running with them. Thank you for trusting me. And thank you for fighting for your true identity. I’m super stoked to be on this life journey with you. It is my honor and privilege to watch you continue to CRUSH your goals!!! LETS DO THIS! Much Love, Coach Laura

Vegan athletes- look no further!
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.

I’m beyond proud of you for all your dedication and determination to learn and grow. I can’t wait to see where life takes you next! Forever your Coach, Coach Laura

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!

I cannot wait to see where your journey takes you! ~Coach Alison

Zero Customer Service
Organised initial phone call with Anders, who said he would talk with me himself. Different Timezone, but for some reason the only spot available was 4.30am. I was told if I missed that spot, there was no other ‘opportunity’, so I set my alarm a bit before then so I’d be awake- shift working single mum here, who struggles with sleep, but I did it, I was motivated. Got up, saw a text which came whilst I slept, informing me it wasn’t Anders, but someone else. Ok. Trust wavering a little bit, but on we go. When I asked about Anders, his colleague suggested that being Easter Monday, he probably ‘had something on’. Polite chat about time zones, to find its midday there, and yes, of course it could have been facilitated for a later call...really really unhappy about this....being Easter Monday, I really didn’t want to set my alarm for an early morning call. If a business is essentially selling a personal service- which VSA is, and promises whatever, then they need to uphold that promise. No customer service. No immediate response from those in charge. And you guys want me to spend how much a month with you??!!

We care about our clients more than anything. I think that’s pretty evident given their reviews. However, I’ll take this opportunity to demonstrate our true level of customer service. It is currently Easter Sunday here in the US and I am about to sit down for Easter dinner with my family, yet I’ve sent you multiple personal messages over the last hour and I’m taking the time to respond to your review now. You have received numerous, fast responses from me and Christa on Easter Sunday. We scheduled a call with you to talk about your goals and see if this is the right program for you. I’m sorry this time didn’t work well for your schedule, but you were actually the one who suggested it. Here’s a screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fUcBLLnPARXch66EFwVocwRKjbHCbi0N/view?usp=sharing I wasn’t planning to take calls on Easter Sunday afternoon at all, but I wanted to help you so we worked out the time. If you needed a later call time, then we would have rescheduled for later this coming week, which would have been perfectly fine. I understand that it was “mid-day” here in the US during your scheduled call time, but again, it’s Easter Sunday here and I blocked off the afternoon and evening to spend time with family. As for the last-minute change in who would call you, I apologize. I should have realized that you wouldn’t get our message until right before our scheduled call. I asked my right-hand woman, Christa, who had all of your information and was very much looking forward to serving you, to take your call instead because I had a last-minute opportunity to see my grandmother before Easter dinner. I haven’t seen her in many months so I decided to take the opportunity. I knew that you would be well taken care of with Christa. You spent a few minutes on the phone with Christa telling her how unhappy you were that you had to wake up so early for this call and then you hung up. Again, you suggested the time in the first place. Then to top it all off, you questioned whether I was actually with my grandmother, so I sent you a selfie of the two of us, and you left me on read. I love helping people more than anything, but I expect mutual respect and kindness. I’m now going to sit down for Easter dinner and enjoy time with my family. I wish you all the best in your vegan fitness journey. With gratitude, Anders

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!

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! ~Coach Alison

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!

Chris 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! Coach Laura

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 you’re interested in seeing what is possible for you and your goals, you can start your application here: https://www.vegansuperheroacademy.com/ After you submit your application, we’ll schedule a strategy session (a phone call) to find out exactly where you're at, where you want to go, and what we need to do to get you there. 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.
