The Vegan Superhero AcademyReviews of thevegangym.com

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.

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!!

5 Stars are well earned! I joined to lose some weight for my wedding and to look fly in my dress. I succeeded! I love the energy of all of the coaches and the constant support they provide. This is not your average fitness program, there is so much more to it. You become family with the coaches and other members and I know even when I leave this program they will still support me. I’ve learned more about nutrition and exercise than I thought I could. I’m so thankful for my coach, Coach Maria, as she was there when the going got tough. When I wanted to give up, she was the person who encouraged me to keep going. She went above and beyond my expectations. I am going to miss her and everyone at VSA!

I’ve been dealing with body image my whole life. It was so bad that I couldn’t see myself naked in the mirror. I became depress and started bench eating. Went on therapy but it didn’t help me. Started working out without knowing what I was doing and of course it didn’t help. So at that point I was like, damn I need some guidance. Luckily for me I found VSA on instagram. I started to follow them and saw many encouraging testimonies. So I send them a message and we click right away. They pair me to one of they amazing coaches and man let me tell you, she and I are a great match. She had similar experience and that made it easier for me to open up. My coach assigned me workouts and meal plans based of my goals and my schedules. It was easy to follow. We talk every week to see how we can improve my fitness journey. I started to lose weight since the first week. Is crazy!!! Now 3 months later my body has transform in ways I dreamed of. Feel so good in my skin and i’m in harmony with myself. Now i’m a fan of working out and macros :). I believe that VSA can help anyone reach they fitness and health goals. If you have doubts, please don’t. You will be in good hands. I promise you!

I have been over weight my entire teenage and adult life! In 2015 I weighed in at 265lbs wearing a size 40 in jeans and XL t-shirts! My blood pressure was out of control, I smoked almost two pack a day, and I was not vegan! I was eating the typical fried southern food not a caring about what I was doing to my body! I had migraines at least twice a month, and I had chronic digestive issues. I was 30 years old in 2015 and this continued into 2017! In the summer of 2017 I finally had enough, I decided that I was not going to be smoking by my 34th birthday! I went vegan and quit smoking over night on August 4th 2017. Thus my vegan journey began! In October of 2020 I did not know that I made the phone call that would forever change my life and my vegan fitness journey! I had never listened to any form of a podcast until mid September of 2020, that is when I discovered The Vegan Gym Podcast. I started with episode 1 and thought to myself that this was going to be one of those “one size fits all” fitness programs. I very quickly discovered that this was not the case at all! Leif and Anders have such a unique way of connecting with their audience with their straight forward, no bones about it approach to vegan fitness. I soon found myself binging as many episodes of the podcast as I could while at work. I finally got the courage up to schedule my one on one call with Anders, that 1 hour phone call is to date the best phone call I have ever answered! We spent the hour talking about my life experience and what made me decide to schedule that call. As we wrapped up the phone call I decided to give the 90 day fitness challenge a go with The VSA! Anders thank you for taking the chance on me! Thank you for being straight forward and professional!! My fist day with the academy was October 21st 2020. I was soon introduced to Coach Laura, I did not understand at the time how much of an impact this strong independent woman would have on my life, and my physical transformation! I first heard about Laura through the podcast when she sat down with Leif and Anders for an interview! I was and still am inspired by her story, and her fitness journey! I soon found myself looking forward to our weekly phone calls to go over my goals, weekly wins, and how I am doing not only physically but emotionally as well! The meal plan and workout routine she created for me both challenged and motivated me. Coach Laura has become a very good friend and she still inspires me daily! Over the 90 day program I had my ups and downs as we all do! Coach Laura helped me get through it all with her vast knowledge about weight lifting, yoga, and also how too calm your mind when things seem out of your control. She also taught me that giving up is not an option! With her help and much needed guidance I shredded 17lbs of body fat going from a starting weigh in of 200lbs, today I am at 183lbs!! Thank you so much! As my 90 days ended I was very happy with my journey thus far but decided to sign up for 12 more months!!! I am so happy that I get to spend a whole 364 days with VSA! About two weeks into my continuation with the academy I got some bad news from my doctor! In December of 2020 my doctor was conducting a general health physical and when he was checking my neck he felt a node on my right thyroid! He explained that these are very common and he wanted an ultrasound just too check it out. The ultrasound showed that there is a 3 cm node on my right thyroid with a suspect cell structure. So he sent me for a biopsy and that confirmed that I have Capillary Carcinoma, one of four types of thyroid cancer! Needless to say that I was in shock over this news! I did not know how or what to feel! I did go back and listen to the episode in the podcast where Leif talks about his experience with cancer. That reinforced my belief that I can still do this and that I will be ok! However I did not expect the amount of love and support I was about to receive! I cannot put into words how much coach Laura has helped me since my diagnosis! She is not alone in this, I would like too take the time to personally thank Leif, Anders, and all the other coaches for your support! Too my fellow VSA members both new and graduated, you all have become my second family! Thank you for your daily inspiration, love, and support it means the world to me!! As I await the surgery to remove my thyroid and two lymph nodes just too the right of the node I am both scared and confident that I will be ok. After I heal completely I cannot wait to get back on track with my vegan fitness journey! As I was telling the surgeon about my physical transformation over the past 90 days they complimented me on my hard work and dedication to better my physical health! I would not be this confident without the help of VSA! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

I’m a certified Personal Trainer with specialization in fitness nutrition. I decided to move to a vegan diet after being diagnosed Pre-Diabetic in December 2019. I worked hard to change my relationship with food, recognizing triggers and unhealthy habits as I learned about a vegan diet and it’s benefits for health. I stumbled upon the Vegan Gym Podcast in early October 2020. I was hesitant to join because I really was only interested how to eat as a vegan athlete. I shared that with Anders and he told me, “Sometimes even coaches need coaching.” It was then that I decided to invest in myself and join the Vegan Superhero Academy. I learned how to balance macro and micro nutrients in a vegan diet, how to time my meals for the most effective workouts, and I even improved some of my lifts and workout techniques. Over the 90 days in VSA I improved upon my knowledge base, gained a community of friends and family and was able to get off all my diabetes medication. At my last check-in my blood sugar levels were still in the normal range. VSA gave me back my life. I will forever be grateful to Anders and the coaches for what they taught me.

VSA & Coach Alison are fantastic! I came into this program wanting to lose maybe 5-10 lbs while changing the composition of my body. I did lose a few lbs, and quite a few inches. I didn't quite get to where I wanted to be because I feel like, just as I was getting to that breakover point, several family members came down with COVID and I was the caretaker, so of course the time I had to devote to my training program and meal prepping suffered. However...the lessons I have learned are invaluable for moving forward on my own. Coach Alison is a wealth of knowledge and when she made changes to my plan, she would explain WHY she was doing it and what she hoped those changes would accomplish. The foundation I have now (after I don't know how many years of trying to do it myself) is so strong. I KNOW I will get to where I want to be in the very near future now that everyone in my family is well. I would HIGHLY recommend VSA. I have no experience with the other coaches, other than what I have seen posted in the private group, but if they are anything like Alison, you can't go wrong with ANY of them!

The vegan gym changed my life and helped me get on the right track of eating clean and building raw lean veggie muscles!! The food to stay on track is delicious. The weight training is perfect, and the coaches are amazing!! Coach luara is amazing and very detailed on the lifts to make sure your doing it right. No injuries!! Because of the program I went from 176 lbs to 190 lbs of all muscle. Consistency is key! And by posting in the group every day of your accomplishments is fun. Feels great to brag about yourself and achieving your goals! I thank the vegan gym for everything and the the whole process of getting my health and fitness together!!
