My coach Tiana
I joined VSA last year and I was very skeptical. My coach was a English man named Tom. He was great, but family priorities took him out of VSA. I felt a little lost, but my new coach Tiana handled the transition beautifully. She accepted my honest feelings about being "abandoned" by one coach and being unsure with a new coach. She helped me get my bearings again in the program. I am in the maintenance phase of my journey and I believe Coach Tiana is the best for me. She has great insight on my journey. She validates my fears and feelings, but then explains in a way I can understand that I will be okay if I just trust the process. And you know what she is right. I appreciate my new coach just as much as my old coach. I know Tiana is on my side walking with me in this journey. I am thankful to have her as a coach.

Worth every penny and then some! 10/10
The Vegan Superhero Academy was the best investment I’ve ever made, and I don’t say that lightly.As someone who has spent decades working in the medical field, I do not jump into programs lightly, especially when it comes to my health. And when I first came across VSA, I have to admit I was hesitant to commit.I was going through menopause and felt like my body had suddenly stopped working the way it used to. Despite generally eating well and staying active, I was gaining weight, my energy was totally unpredictable, my sleep was (mostly) terrible, and I felt frustrated in a way I never had before. I had tried countless times to lose weight through other programs, and even tried a 90-day bootcamp thing with an in-person trainer, but nothing felt sustainable or truly supportive of what my body was experiencing at this stage of life.What ultimately made me take the leap was actually learning more about the team. I watched an interview on YouTube with Dr. Daphne, and once I found out that the program includes medical doctors and registered dietitians, which I couldn’t find from the other handful of vegan coaching programs that I looked into, I decided to jump in. And now that I’ve met many of the VSA team members (including Dr. Daphne), I’m extremely impressed. This definitely is not a one size fits all fitness program. It is extremely personalized, and full of knowledge about menopause and health that really matters to me.From the very beginning, I felt seen and understood. My coach took the time to learn my history, my goals, and how I was actually feeling and what I was struggling with. My coach is so knowledgeable and supportive!I’m so excited to say that my results have been incredible. I feel better than I ever have. I’ve got so much more energy throughout the day, and I’m stronger, more confident, and more comfortable in my body than I have been in years. I can honestly say I have never felt this good, even before menopause. In fact, I don’t remember feeling this great in my 20s, which is pretty crazy to think.

The price is NOT WORTH IT
The price is NOT WORTH IT! It costs a fortune! And I learned that the coaches, who, in my experience, are knowledgeable, kind, and caring, only get 10% to 15% of the amount you pay. Which is significantly less than what a trainer typically costs. I found the rest of the things offered by the org to be useless to me. They talk a good talk, but it's not followed up with action. The organization's leadership claims to have a goal that is aligned with a vegan lifestyle. To me, that includes being kind and loving to all living things, including people. I had a wonderful coaching experience because my coach was endlessly knowledgable, encouraging, kind, and caring. The CEO will do anything to make more money for himself. The way they treat their coaches is abhorent, and they are the ones making the organization money. I was told that I would get the full experience without being on FB, but that also wasn't true. I was sold a bill of good. Don't fall for it.

If you’re struggling on your own, this is definitely something you would want to try
I was in the midst of looking for help with expanding or growing my plant-based lifestyle. The biggest area for me was that of the diet, as I am not a person who likes to be in the kitchen nor do I enjoy cooking shows. I came across VSA by chance, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed at that time. Having someone lay out a meal plan with recipes as well as having a coach (thank you, Arman!) for accountability and to discuss various aspects of the plant-based lifestyle was very helpful. Additionally, another great benefit was that of the community itself on the app, which allows you to interact with others on the same path across the country.Although I did not continue with the longer program, I did benefit greatly from the initial program, which lasted approximately four months. In that time, I reduced my LDL by 40 points, and my A1c moved out of the pre-diabetic range to normal. In addition to this, I lost approximately 6 to 8 pounds of visceral fat. Those gains alone were worth joining the program.

Great Program!
Overall, the program is well-thought out, informative and very supportive. Sarah A was my coach and she is fabulous (11 out of 10)--very helpful and encouraging while being truthful and direct (which I asked her to be). She was a cheerleader at times and at others, helped pick me off the ground. For me, she made the program and I owe any success I have to her. Thank you!

I started working with VSA in July
I started working with VSA in July of 2025. In November I went into the Momentum phase for 1 year. This is exactly the coaching program I was searching for. I have been working with Coach Marc since the beginning. He is so knowledgeable and always helps me out with whatever questions I have for him. I appreciate the fact that Coach Marc holds me accountable. He cheers me on and is very encouraging. We not only have weekly one-on-one coaching calls, he also checks in with me throughout the week to see how things are going and if I need anything. I can also reach out to him at any time and he responds back quickly.Nutrition is a major factor in the process, and I have been learning so much. I know now to trust the process because it does work. I'm regaining my health and I am feeling stronger and more confident every day.This program in not about quick fixes it's all about sustainability. What I have been learning will last my entire life. Anyone looking forward to getting their health back and building muscle this is the place to be. There is so much information that is available here and the whole community backs you.

A community full of vegans
A community full of vegans interested in healthy eating and lifestyle. Judgmental free zone, very respectful communication. A platform where you can get immense knowledge and regularly interact with coaches and members in various groups. Your coach will guide you and try to find an answer to every question you have. It’s really worth your investment because your coach is really interested in your well-being.

Change your life for the better!
My experience with the Vegan Superhero Academy was great from start to finish. I was an omnivore before joining this program and feel like Vegan Gym gave me great tools on how to meal prep while Vegan. My coach, Lukasz Rafacz, was super positive and upbeat my whole way through. 5/5 this is a great program for those looking to make positive life changes.

VSA is an absolutely incredible program…
VSA is an absolutely incredible program that has truly changed my life. I joined this program a little over a year ago and was instantly welcomed into the community by my coach Arman. He was a perfect match and never once did I ever feel judged for my experience or fitness level. If I ever had a question I knew that Arman would get back to me as soon as possible with as many resources as he had on hand. My lifestyle & energy improved, my nutrition knowledge skyrocketed, and I felt embraced by a community that truly is top tier. Once I went to their yearly retreat the experience only got better. Every coach was excited to meet me and I was able to meet both owners Leif & Anders who welcomed me with open arms. If you are debating on which coaching program you should join for a better life on plants, I guarantee you this one will not disappoint. Thank you VSA!!

Supportive Coaching with Real-Life Results
I’ve had a great experience with The Vegan Superhero Academy, and Coach Nathan Perrin deserves a huge shout-out. His guidance is clear, practical, and genuinely motivating. He breaks things down into simple, doable steps and keeps everything focused on real-life results, not just theory.Coach Nathan is supportive, knowledgeable, and always encouraging. He sees where you are and helps you build better habits at a pace that feels realistic and sustainable. The program has given me useful tools, confidence, and a stronger commitment to my vegan lifestyle and health goals.If you’re looking for positive coaching, practical advice, and a supportive community, I highly recommend The Vegan Superhero Academy and Coach Nathan.

Stronger, Better Fueled, and Supported Every Step of the Way
Vegan Superhero Academy helped me achieve real, measurable results while making the process genuinely motivating and empowering. Through the program, I completed a marathon, lost about 10 pounds, reduced my waist by 3 inches and my hips by 2 inches, and built noticeable muscle. I felt stronger, more capable, and better fueled than I have in years.The nutrition coaching was especially impactful. I learned how to increase my plant-based protein intake in a practical, sustainable way and gained new high-protein recipes that supported both performance and recovery. The menopause education from Dr. Daphne was a standout - clear, evidence-based, and incredibly helpful in understanding how to train and fuel my body at this stage of life.My coach, Kiana, was outstanding: responsive, encouraging, and always willing to adapt my training plan to meet my needs and keep me progressing safely. The Guardians community added another powerful layer of support - welcoming, motivating, and full of people who genuinely wanted each other to succeed. Vegan Superhero Academy delivered results, confidence, and a strong sense of connection all at once.

A great fitness plan geared toward vegans!
I joined in November looking to get into better shape. I have been vegan for 9 years. The program is wonderful! In the past 3 months, I have lost 20 pounds, decreased my waist by over 3 inches, and decreased my hips by over 2 inches! The nutrition plan is healthy, and of course vegan. My coach is Kiana Wilson. She listened to my workout goals, which were centered around weight lifting. She developed a workout plan that completely fit those goals. After 8 weeks she updated my workout plan which truly helped me progress even more. She is so positive and supportive at our weekly meetings! A great coach!!

Spot on guidance!
This program is exactly what I needed. I was doing fine with the fitness aspect, but needed a bit more help with mobility sessions. I also needed guidance with eating; how to eat, ie protein and fiber to feel full. The meal plan was perfect! The coach I was assigned to has been fantastic to work with. Nathan is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, encouraging, and can work up a plan to get results.

I've had a great experience and success with VSA
I’ve had a great experience with VSA and the Vegan Gym program! Prior to finding it, I had tried a number of plant-based programs to lose weight and keep it off with limited success. I would get stuck at a certain weight that was within a normal BMI range for my height but still 10 pounds more than what was recommended to reduce LDL cholesterol that had started creeping up after menopause. In addition, I had been diagnosed with osteoporosis and wanted to rebuild muscle and bone mass that I had lost after menopause. With The Vegan Gym’s program of integrated plant-based nutrition, movement and resistance training, personalized coaching, education, and community, I was able to achieve my weight loss goal while increasing muscle and strength in just the first 3 months. My LDL cholesterol score and clothing size decreased as well! Meeting with my supportive coach online weekly helps me stay focused and accountable, especially with the personalized workout program and almost daily check-ins. He listens well and asks not only how I’m doing physically, but emotionally as well. The online community of clients and coaches has been a fun way to stay consistent with my program and to connect with others working to improve their health and fitness. In addition, there is a vast resource collection with opportunities for self-education on nutrition, movement, motivation, and health topics. There are also options for joining in on group calls and fun events, including retreats. I’ve had such great success and experience with VSA and my coach that, after four months, I’ve decided to continue for another full year! I highly recommend the program.
Celeste Beck
Very satisfied!
My experience has been great so far (2 months into a 4 month program). I’m getting results better and faster than I could have expected. The nutrition and fitness guidance has been bespoke and excellent. My wife and I both joined simultaneously. My coach is Nathan, and my wife’s coach is Nicole. Love it.

Kiana is a superstar
When I came to Vegan Superhero Academy, I had been vegan for a year. But my diet and exercise efforts were inconsistent, and I was not seeing the results I wanted. Kiana and the team created a tailored plan for me that met me where I was, and the accountability of the program ensured I created good, sustainable habits. In four months I lostalmost 20 lbs., several inches off my chest, hips and waist and a clothing size. Kiana is fun and is very solution-oriented. I value her experience, enthusiasm, support and patience. :) I’m a person who has questions about everything. A couple times when I needed a dietary modification or I couldn’t comfortably do an exercise, she found a slight change that helped me see benefits without pain. I have arthritis in my knees, which was painful due to the excess weight, and it’s relieved. My clothes fit better. I feel confident about what I have to do to continue improving my health. This program and Kiana have given me an incredible start.

I found VSA when I felt the lowest…
I found VSA when I felt the lowest confidence in my body and physical ability. They do a lot to make you feel welcome. I appreciate the fact that the program is research-driven. My trainer, Nathan, has been instrumental to my success. Shortly after beginning VSA, I fractured my foot. He was able to pivot plans quickly to focus on other areas while I was rehabbing. During that process, he checked in with me and helped me build the motivation i lost in my accident. He values my feedback, and I trust in his advice. I’m grateful to have him as my trainer. VSA helped me change my life, and I don’t think I could do it without their support.

Exceptional coaching for any age, any level, any gender
Coach Arman was always cheering me on, giving me lots of helpful and thoughtful advice to overcome my challenges. He was very knowledgeable and creative, always listening to my concerns (and complaints about getting old lol!). As a health conscious post-menopausal woman, he was able to help me see ways to improve my diet and exercise in ways that I hadn't thought to try before, and I was able to lose weight, learn new recipes, and enjoy being active and exercising. There were also lots of resources like recipes and cooking videos, and over 100 videos about everything from mobility to conquering cravings. In addition there were plenty of group calls to join with dedicated topics multiple times a week. I really can't say enough good things. I highly recommend this program for anyone looking to improve their health, especially if wanting to avoid animal products.

Pretty darn life changing
I joined VeganGym for four months, it was hands down one of the best investments I’ve made in myself. I found the coupling of nutrition planning and strength training with the vegan diet expertise to be deeply valuable and so rare in the coaching world. I am particularly grateful for my coach Sarah; her depth and breadth of weight training and fitness experience helped me build a program that truly supported my goals. She has been so enthusiastically supportive, helpful and encouraging. I would not have made the process I did without her coaching. Hard data: in four months I was able to go through a body recomposition that I feel great about and felt very sustainable and healthy. I dropped 9 lbs of fat, gained 4.5 lbs of muscle and lowered my body fat percentage by 5%.

VSA is the Program I Needed!
VSA is exactly the coaching program I needed. Their approach supports the 'whole person,' focusing on sustainable changes rather than quick fixes. Working with Coach Kianna has been a highlight of my journey; she is a knowledgeable advocate who has significantly improved my form and served as my biggest cheerleader. I truly value the education and the supportive community VSA provides to every client.
