A coach in your corner, that teaches you how to overcome the biggest barriers to your success
A customized plan that works for your body and adjusts with your schedule
And peace of mind that you're doing the right things to get the best results
Most fitness and diet plans fail because they are too generic. We're changing that, one body at a time.
Question: If there’s so much information out there about fitness and nutrition, then why are most people still struggling to get the body they want?
Hi, I’m Leif Arnesen. That’s the question that drove me to research an evidence-based approach to vegan body transformation and launch the Vegan Superhero Academy in 2018 alongside my brother Anders.
Our mission is simple: To cut through empty promises, bogus research, and confusing advice and bring an effective, personalized approach to health and fitness that any vegan can use to get in better shape — even if they’ve tried and failed before.
Over the past few years, our team has personally coached over 2,250 vegans from all around the world who have gotten into the best shape of their lives. Combine that with our amazing reviews and it’s no surprise that the Vegan Superhero Academy has become the most trusted online vegan coaching program in the world.
You are the focus
Unlike most coaching services, our fitness and nutrition programs are customized to your schedule, your preferences, and your level of experience. You interact with your coaches every week. No one-size-fits-all templates. Everything is customized specifically for you.
Coaches that care
The Vegan Superhero Academy is a family. We’ll remember your dog’s name, send you gifts for achieving your goals, and always be here to listen, no matter what’s going on in your life. It’s an honor to be a part of your journey, and we want you to feel supported in every way.
Take the stress out of fitness and nutrition
No more worrying about what to eat, how to exercise, or what to do next. Your only job is to show up and follow the plan. If you are confused, ask questions and we'll simplify. If you need some extra help, we've got you. Leave all the details to us, and get on with the rest of your day.
Adjusts to your schedule and preferences
Going on vacation? No problem. Traveling for work? We'll help you out. Want to skip the gym and exercise at home? You got it. No matter what you’ve got going on in your life, we'll adjust your plan so you can stay consistent and continue getting great results.
Designed for real life
Want to have vegan ice cream in your diet? We'll make it happen. Love microbrews or Italian wines? We won't deprive you of the stuff you love. Instead of crazy-strict dieting rules, we'll work together to create a simple plan that gets great results — without making you the “weird person” at dinner.
Built for results that don’t disappear
We believe in results that last. We want you to get great results that you keep for the rest of your life. In fact, most of our clients decide to stick with us for a full year or more, just to keep the positive changes coming and keep life stress free and simple. From vacation to life on the road, we adapt to your needs.
Molly lost over 200 pounds and built a healthy relationship with food!
Just a few years ago, Molly weighed 350 pounds at the height of her struggle with emotional binge eating. After going vegan and cleaning up her diet, she lost 178 pounds over a period of four years. But then Molly hit a major fat loss plateau that caused her weight to remain constant for nearly a year. After joining our coaching program, she got the strategy and support she needed to break through her fat loss plateau. Molly went on to lose 24.8 pounds in 90 days, which meant she’d officially lost over 200 pounds. Through her transformation, Molly has supercharged her self-confidence and learned to love herself.
David lost 31.4 pounds in 90 days and then raced his first Ironman 70.3!
Our client David was stuck in a frustrating cycle of dieting and marathon training to just maintain a weight that he wasn’t comfortable with. After joining our Vegan Superhero Academy coaching program, he lost 31.4 pounds of fat in 90 days. What excited him, even more, is that he was able to complete the first unassisted pull-up of his life. While doing a pull-up was always a goal of his, he never truly believed that it was possible for him. Yet towards the end of our program, he was able to knock out four pull-ups in a row. Through his transformation, David has inspired his two children and nephew to adopt healthy habits. He accomplished all of this while showing up for his family and traveling around the world for work.

Adriana burned stubborn body fat, became stronger than ever, developed new friendships and a sense of community in the Vegan Superhero Academy, and learned exactly how to eat to fuel her active lifestyle. On top of all of that, she joined a gym for the first time in her life, cycled 37 miles a day for two weeks on a cycling trip in the Netherlands, embarked on multiple kayaking and snowshoeing adventures, and continues to prove that there is no age limit when it comes to building your dream body and mind.
Tom lost 25 pounds in 90 days!
In just 90 days, Tom melted 25 pounds of body fat and got 6-pack abs for the first time in his life! He did this while working 12-hour shifts, taking care of his wife and two little girls, and enjoying lots of healthy, delicious plant-based food!
Proven after 2,250+ transformations.
Trusted worldwide.
Earlier I asked you a question: If there’s so much information out there about fitness and nutrition, then why are most people still struggling to get the body they want?
After more than a decade in this industry, I can confidently say the reason most people reliably fail to get in shape comes down to one key factor: They don’t have anyone looking out for them, catering to their needs, or keeping them accountable.
Like so many other things in life, there’s a huge difference between:
A. Trying to figure everything out on your own.
B. Trusting the wrong sources.
C. Having a trusted expert guide you every step of the way.
People join the Vegan Superhero Academy when they’ve exhausted the first two options and are ready to outsource the details of their health and fitness to experts who truly care — and who know how to deliver impressive, long-lasting results.

You can’t stop me!"

A year from now, you'll be one year older. Will you also be one year better?
Even though my team and I have been coaching clients for years, we still find it amazing what people can accomplish when they stop trying to figure everything out on their own and start following a personalized program.
Fat melts away. Muscle gets uncovered. Strength increases. Little aches and pains all but disappear.
These breakthroughs only happen when you’re able to let go of the stress of trying to do everything on your own and instead put your trust in a proven process.
It reminds me of a the popular cliche:
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
We’ve all heard this, of course. But have you ever stopped to really think about it? Have you ever considered whether or not it applies to your life?
Are you following the same exercise program you’ve done before?
Are you constantly jumping from one diet to another… and another… and another?
Are you “all or nothing” — with the balance heavily weighted toward the “nothing”?
Do you struggle to stay consistent, even though you know what to do?
If so, my team and I can help. We’ve worked with over 1,800 people in the past few years, and know what it takes to get real, long-lasting results. Results that you can see and feel.
You’ve read this far, so you’ve already seen our process and our results. Chances are good that we can help you, too.
We’re ready to take the stress off your plate, give you a personalized plan, and help you finally get the body you want and deserve.
But the next step is yours.
How much does the Vegan Superhero Academy cost?
It depends on what you need! We do not offer cookie cutter programs. Everything we do is fully customized to each client. Through the application process (which starts with clicking the "Apply Now" button), we'll 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, then we'll figure out a payment plan that works for you. Below is a video of our client Stephen explaining the cost of the Vegan Superhero Academy (VSA).
What's different about our coaching?
Most online coaching services (and most fitness experts) use generic exercise and diet templates. That means the same program for everyone — regardless of age, experience, or goals. But in the Vegan Superhero Academy everything from your nutrition plan to the exercise program is fully customized to your schedule, lifestyle, and personal preferences. That level of personalization is why we only accept a limited number of clients every month.
Do I need to be in the USA to join the Vegan Superhero Academy?
Nope. We’ve had clients from over 25 countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, Colombia, Germany, Japan, and Australia. We’d love to have you, no matter where you’re from.
Do you coach non-vegans?
We only create 100% vegan nutrition programs for our clients. But we do accept non-vegan clients who are ready to go fully vegan with our nutritional guidance.
What if I'm a complete beginner?
We love beginners! Our goal is to help you become 100% confident with exercise and nutrition - without needing to think about it all the time. No matter your goal, we’ll guide you every step of the way and make sure you’re always following the right plan for your body.
What if I'm more advanced?
We’ve worked with a lot of intermediate and advanced clients, too. Some of them come to us with years of experience, but are tired of doing the same routine. Other people “know what to do” when it comes to exercise and nutrition — but they struggle to do it consistently. We’ll help you get back on track, get better results, and teach you some new things along the way.
What's the time commitment?
Because your nutrition and exercise program are customized for you and your lifestyle, the time commitment is totally dependent on your goals and schedule. If you want to exercise four days a week, we’ll make it happen. If you can only exercise once per week, we’ll take care of you. Coaching is an ongoing process and it adapts with your life. Once you’re in the Vegan Superhero Academy, you’ll work directly with your coach to get the best plan for your body and your schedule.
Can you work around injuries?
Yes. Lots of people come to us with annoying shoulder, knee, or lower back issues (among other things). We’ll not only help you “work around it,” we’ll also give you ways to fix whatever issue you’re dealing with. And if we determine you’d be better off getting medical help for your injury, we’ll make sure to help you find a good service provider in your area.
How customized is the Vegan Superhero Academy?
Let’s put it this way: If you have food allergies or special dietary preferences, we’ll create a nutritious meal plan that meets your exact needs. If you love chocolate or non-dairy ice cream, we'll be sure to work some into your meal plan. If you don’t know what you want to eat, we’ll work with you to decide which plan is right for you — and then give you everything you need to be successful.
If you have a big event coming up, we’ll help you get prepared. If you go on vacation, we’ll write you a hotel room workout (or maybe even suggest you take the week off and enjoy yourself). If you have a shoulder injury, we’ll give you exercises to help it get better. If you want to lose weight the first few months and then add muscle the next few months, we’ll help you do that.
You tell us what you want to do, and we’ll help you do it. In other words: It’s very customized.
When can I expect to see results?
When you will see results is completely personal. It depends on your goals, your current lifestyle, and how much work we need to do together.
We’re invested in your success and want to help you over both the short and the long run. That means results that last. So while we’d love to be able to give you a specific answer, here’s what we can say with absolute confidence: If you follow your coaches suggestions to the best of your ability, you WILL get results. In fact, we guarantee it.
How often will I hear from or interact with my coach?
We're available 24/7 via text and we'll be with you every step of the way. You will also have regular coaching calls to discuss your progress, make tweaks to your programs, work through struggles, and answer questions. You'll also get daily encouragement, support, and accountability from other members of the Vegan Superhero Academy family.
How long does the Vegan Superhero Academy last?
In order to get the best results possible, we have a 3-month minimum commitment. Remember, we’re playing the long-game here. After the first three months, we’ll continue to coach you for as long as you want. Our clients come to enjoy having someone they trust write their exercise and nutrition programs, so most of our clients continue for 6 to 12 months — with some sticking around for two or even three years!
Do I need to take supplements in this program?
We firmly believe that you can get all the nutrients you need from a whole-food, plant-based diet. While we recommend supplementing with vitamin B12 and the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA for optimal health, you certainly don't need to take any supplements in this program. There are a few other supplements that we occasionally recommend to help our clients accelerate results. However, none of the supplements contain caffeine or any dangerous ingredients. They are all amino acids or herbs designed to nourish your body and support your fitness goals.
I just turned 65. Am I too old to join this program? Please be honest.
You are definitely not too old! We have worked with clients of all ages from 19 to 78. And they've all found tremendous success within this Academy because we fully customize each client's nutrition and training programs based on hundreds of different factors.
