I enjoyed the Accelerator program I enjoyed the Accelerator program. The program introduced me to nutrition and fitness machines. The guidance I received allowed me to have the tools to lose 32 pounds. Anna is a great coach, and she is very kind and patient. She makes you feel good about your accomplishments, and keeps you on track. This program is for students who are committed to Veganism and wanting to become the best version of themselves. One has to have a strong self commitment and follow through to obtain health and fitness goals. The only negative aspect of the program is the high cost of the program, and no fitness instructions in personal one on one fitness training or meal preparation.

VFR helped me lose inches and change my habits VFR 2.0 is a great program for those who can afford it. The custom workouts and nutrition advice was incredibly helpful to me as someone new to the scene. In addition, the community and the mindfulness classes were useful in showing where my unhalthy habits came from and how to work healthier habits into my existing life. I highly recommend it for those who really want to get healthier and change their lifestyles but aren't sure where to start or who to trust. I was shocked to meet my waist reduction goal of 3 inches during the program despite dealing with a long-term health issue at the same time (and I still ate fries!). I learned how to care for myself and my body so that now I am better prepared to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

A Positive Life-Changing Experience The first thing I said to Gabriel when we met was that I had to make changes NOW! I was in a deep mental pit, exhausted and unhappy with my lack of fitness and energy. I was vegan but didn't know how to feed my body, besides eliminating animal products. I had had a severe back injury in 2013 and was terrified of re-injuring myself by returning to working out. As a former gym-rat, this was a huge loss for me in my life, and my health. What came next blew me away. Gabriel and Anna provide THE BEST, MOST SUPPORTIVE coaching, information, nutrition guidance, and very importantly, you are met where you are. There is no judging, no guilt - as many have said before me, Progress Over Perfection. Becoming a part of the VFR Community has literally changed my life. I felt alone and very isolated being vegan in a rural community; now I am part of an online community that is safe, respectful and supportive. My partner has made comments on how he has noticed a positive change in my outlook and mood. For me, having both Anna and Gabriel coach me personally has meant so much. We talk about a range of things, not only workouts and nutrition, but life events that impact our ability to manage our daily lives. I have a small farm microsanctuary, and while I love each and every member of my farm animal family, I made no time for me. Even my partner came second to the animal care. I have come to realize that putting me first, by taking care of my health isn't wrong, but necessary. Another aspect of VFR I never expected was the attention to our mental health. The Mindset classes go deep into the things that we can change within ourselves, to support our growth and learning. There is great support within the group as we all face similar issues and obstacles, and there is a sense of community and sharing. Each call, Gabriel brings new challenges and ways of thinking to us. I've been able to become more positively introspective instead of tearing myself down with negativity, and challenge old beliefs. There is a lot of loss in the sanctuary life. It can be very overwhelming and your days seem to be about grief and not joy. I recently experienced the sudden devastating loss of a dear rooster and it threatened to derail me. I had a conversation with Anna about my reflections on this loss and the level of grief and sadness I was experiencing. She supported me and also provided a different point of view which was incredibly helpful. I keep that conversation close to help me when the sadness overwhelms. Physically I've gotten much stronger, have lost inches and toned up, and feel better than I have in years. I'm conscious of what I'm shopping for, cooking and eating. Having struggled my entire life with weight and food issues, VFR is a blessed relief! Coaching on nutrition, food prep and planning, individualized workouts, and education on how important mindset is all add up to a fantastic experience. I highly recommend VFR to anyone ready to take control of their health and wellness!

VFR Has Changed My Life I can’t say enough good things about my experience with VFR. This program supports all aspects of my overall health, including exercise, nutrition, and mindset. Gabriel and Anna have developed a program and community that is inclusive and supportive, providing expertise and encouragement while recognizing their students are humans and we won’t be 100% every second of every day. Their mantra, “Progress over perfection,” has opened doors for me and enabled me to achieve things I never thought possible. After 90+ days on the program, I’m healthier than I’ve been in decades, and I look better, too. Although I’m someone who has always despised exercise, I actually enjoy my workouts and it’s easy to get myself to do them. I am so glad VFR is part of my life and am looking forward to continuing this journey for many years to come.

Excellent comprehensive and inspiration fitness/life coaching I’m very happy to have started working with Anna and Gabriel to improve my vegan health/fitness and becoming more competitive in tennis matches. I have had personal trainers and coaches before, bought online programs but nothing like this. They offer inspiration, support, comprehensive knowledge to help me develop better vegan fitness nutrition + advance mental mindset to help me succeed even more in my tennis matches/tournaments. I felt like I have improved a lot since I started working with them and look forward to more advanced progress in the coming future!
