I learned so much in VSA about macros most importantly protein. I loved working with Ashley, she pushed when I needed it and offered kind, guiding words when I needed it. I liked the Facebook page and seeing everyone’s workouts and progress. I did not use the Facebook the best, that was my hang up.......nothing to do with the Facebook page. I loved the camaraderie. VSA has created a very supportive group.

Just completed the first 90 days of my journey to better mental and physical health! While I'm sad that this chapter has come to a close, I'm feeling so accomplished, strong, and overall ready to keep on challenging myself. I was in a bad place physically and mentally when I had my first call with Anders. I was overwhelmed with feeling so less than, sluggish, tired, and unmotivated with no set routine or the belief in myself. I was at a point where my needs and wants were just unattainable wishes. Although the price tag caught me off guard, I realized I needed to invest in myself and stop putting my health on the back burner. I started on June 1, 2020, and to be honest, I was feeling hopeful yet overwhelmed with the state of the world. My first couple of weeks were really rocky. I couldn't bring myself to eat and I felt like my anxiety was suffocating me. However, I continued doing my workouts even if that meant late at night. I told myself it was the least I could do for myself especially if nothing else was accomplished that day. Ashley was amazing in reminding me that I can't help others if I'm not taking care of myself, to be kind to myself, and to know when to take it easy. Her words and my life coach's words and advice aligned so well and I really needed those reminders to keep on going even though it wasn't perfect execution every time. I needed to experience the uncertainty because if I was able to push through this, I would be prepared to keep going when the next obstacles in life arise. In 90 days, with no gym and just consistency, plenty of water, good ol resistance bands, and tasty vegan food: - I went from being barely able to walk a mile without feeling unbearably itchy, self conscious, and gassed out to hiking 14 miles and seeing some beautiful views. - I was able to increase my resistance and reps every week. - I surpassed my goal of doing 5 push-ups on my toes and did 10 instead! I broke my hand over 10 years ago and I haven't been able to even do a proper push-up in years because I was so discouraged and intimidated from staying consistent with PT. I started at not even being able to a push up on my knees. - I figured out what foods and how much worked best with my body. I was able to work so many of my favorite foods in my macros and never felt deprived which is huge because I don't feel like over indulging as with so many other plans I've done in the past. - I have lost a total of 17 pounds and over 7 inches off of my hips and waist. I even got an amazing uneven tan from hiking and walking outside so much lol - My goals have significantly shifted from being aesthetic to functional and although I still have a lot to work though in terms of body image, I'm now at a point where my main goal is to get stronger, have more endurance, and prepare my body to pursue longer hikes and so many more activities that I've only dreamed about doing. - Most importantly, I believe in myself so much more now, my goals are now seen as attainable, and my mental health is in a much better place at this point. A huge thank you to Anders for signing me up and Ashley for all of your advice and support! I'm excited to move forward and keep on keepin on! For everyone just starting or still on your 90 day plan, take it one step at a time, keep going, listen to your body, and be kind to yourself! You're amazing and you got this even when you feel like you don't 💕

The Vegan Superhero academy was such an amazing experience! Having a coach there whenever I needed encouragement, having a meal plan that was simple and delicious, and the VSA community, keeping me accountable to the goals I set, helped me to loose over 30 lbs in three months. It is amazing to not only see the changes that happened with me but also the entire community. They are still inspiring me almost a year later to push harder and achieve the impossible! ❤️✌️💪

Honestly there is so much that can be said about the Vegan Superhero Academy. I had been following Leif and Anders' Instagram for about three years. These dudes are literal vegan superheroes. I was so inspired by all that they were doing. Yet, I felt like I could never achieve that level of success with my physique. I was just regular dude who hated exercise and loved Oreos a little too much. However, I found myself stuck in a rut, unhappy, and wanting more out of my life. Joining the VSA was the scariest thing I ever did! It was a big investment, one that I had to dedicate myself to in order to achieve the results I wanted. The highlight of this whole experience was not the weight loss, but the complete mental transformation. Knowledge is POWER. Learning how to treat your body with respect through nutrition and exercise helped me gain control and clarity through my life. Being a part of a community of people who know and understand you is something I do not have in my personal life and it changed me irrevocably. And of course, all of the coaches in the VSA have so much to offer. Ashley and Laura are incredible humans as well. It's clear that the team behind VSA love what they do and that they are qualified to help you. Now that I have graduated from the academy, I have all that I need to continue my journey. Anyone can change! If you are reading this and debating whether or not to join VSA, remember that you can change too! It may be scary but it is worth it.

What I love about this academy is that it is not about dieting or restricting yourself. It's about a journey to a healthy lifestyle, and losing weight and/or building muscle is just a side effect of that. Through this journey the coaches are there to support you throughout every step and bump on the way. They are always there for you. I have always struggled with being vegan for the last 17 years and mostly strayed to the vegetarian side. After being in the Vegan Superhero Academy, I finally have the knowledge and confidence to be who I've always wanted to be. They personalize everything from food to exercise, and truly listen to what is going on in your life. This isn't just a job for them, they want you to succeed. I have no regrets. I've made friends through this program, and learned more about nutrition and fitness than through any nutritionist I had before. Highly recommend.

the academy was definitely a "before & after" event in my life. It help me gain confidence in the gym, it help me learn how to have a proper nutrition to achieve my goals, and I don't think I can thank enough Anders & Leif (specially Anders: P) for all the motivation, accompaniment and best of all a great friendship that we develop in the months I took the program. It`s been a year since I "graduate" and I still apply everything that I learned in the Academy. If someone has any doubts regarding if they should take this program, my answer will be YESSSS. Don´t think it twice and get ready to have the best vegan coaches.

The Vegan Superhero Academy changed my entire life. I had tried every other diet in the past and but I was never able to maintain the weight I lost. I felt so stuck until I found the academy. Coach Ashley was there for me 24/7 and motivating whenever I had a bad day. I finally felt confident to lift weights in the gym and I love lifting now! I was honestly eating more than I ever have and STILL was shredding fat. Im down 13 pounds and I have so much energy to go hiking, kayak, etc. I am so grateful and recommend this to anyone who wants to take back control of their life.

The VSA taught me more about nutrition, mindset and fitness than any program I have ever done in the past. The coaches are so knowledgeable and offer so much support. Not only did I reach my goals that I had set before entering the program I surpassed them! I wouldn’t recommend any other program to someone who is wanting to make real time changes. Thank you so much Leif and Anders for creating such an amazing program for Vegans to go to crush their fitness goals. They are the real deal.. practice what they preach and are committed to helping others achieve that as well! Go VSA.. you’ll never regret it.
