GBLife-changing experience Hi! I'm Vanessa, a mom of a high-energy toddler, a busy substance prevention professional, and a real estate investor. Before working with VFR, I struggled with maintaining weight loss and have “yo-yoed” my entire life. After my pregnancy, I struggled to find the time to prioritize my health, nutrition, and exercise. I had always been active but became extremely sedentary after 2020, and since going vegan in 2021, I relied a lot on meat alternatives and highly processed vegan foods. In 2023, I decided it was time for a change, and enough was enough. If I wanted my son to eat healthy and be highly active, I had to start with me. Since beginning to work with Gabriel and Anna, I've had many wins. In about five months, I have increased my workouts to 5-6x/week from 0-1x/week, lost about 10 lbs, dropped 2 dress sizes, and learned to eat much more whole-food vegan meals. I feel stronger and leaner, and my old clothes now fit much better. I just feel happier overall that I can prioritize myself, my nutrition, and my overall health while keeping in line with my goals of being a lifelong active vegan. There have been a couple of things that l've appreciated about working with Gabriel and Anna: -First, the level of support they have given me throughout my entire experience has been incredible; I’ve worked with other professionals in the past but have never had this level of support and accountability as I’ve had with them. Additionally, they have helped me see how much progress I’ve made despite being slower than I had wanted (given some of my dietary inconsistencies, several illnesses during flu season, and low times). The mindset work and support they provide have been life-changing for me, helping me realize that I’ve achieved many wins along the way and have been able to achieve my goals. Working with Gabriel and Anna has been life-changing in my journey to create better habits and a new identity for me as a “super busy, vegan mom who prioritizes her health and can be a role model for her son.” I rave about my experience to anyone and everyone who asks about my improved appearance and healthy habits. Thank you for everything!

GBTrainers who care!! Gabriel and Anna are some of the best coaches I've ever had! They have helped me change my belief system surrounding health and fitness. And I'm so grateful for their support and knowledge in helping me reach my goal of being a strong, fit vegan role model for my family. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a change in their health to reach out to Vegan Fitness Redefined!

GBI 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.

GBTransformative Experience - If you let it be! Hi! I'm Ashley and I'm a single mom of 2 kids and a highly driven professional. Before working with VFR, I struggled to find the time to prioritize health and nutrition in the ways I wanted to. And, while I've been active most of my life (dancing, running, hiking, etc.) my workout routines were pretty inconsistent. I also didn't feel like I had the knowledge to make some of the changes I wanted to and quite honestly didn't feel like I had the time to really learn what I would need to, in order to make those changes. Since beginning to work with Gabriel, I've had a lot of wins. Tactically speaking, over 4 months I've lost 5.5 inches off my waist and have lost about 10 lbs. However, for me, the bigger wins are some of the smaller moments when my kids tell me that they can tell I'm getting stronger by how I pick them up or when a huge bag of dog food goes from being heavy for me to pick up to light. There are a couple of things that I've really appreciated about working with Gabriel: First, the level of support that he gives. He'll match your commitment and dedication to yourself and is with you on the journey. Next, is that I've felt like I could ask any question in a non-judgmental space and I have a LOT of questions. I never felt like any question was too much and I've learned a ton over these months. And, I appreciated the accountability that was provided. I knew that he would know if I did (or didn't) complete what I committed to and that level of accountability was really helpful to help me begin to build new habits. Thanks to Gabriel and the VFR team. Ya'll rock. :)

GBI love VFR Anna and Gabriel really care about each of their students. It is so apparent in every interaction and they are truly two of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I think they have a very smart program too. It encompasses a holistic approach where you learn on so many different and valuable levels. They have great wisdom as they teach us to become more fit and healthy and I loved learning from them. I learned more in the last four months than I have in a very long time.
