Movie Reviews:
"Vegan Fitness: Built Naturally” is a wonderful video that shows what athletes can do when they set their minds to it. Through healthy living, eating and showing the highest dedication to their sport, these three athletes are breaking the "vegan stereotype" to pieces. It is definitely a must see for all aspiring athletes who want that motivation to push them to the next level, and also a good resource for everyone else."

Dear Robert,
I just wanted to let you know that I really thought the DVD was great and very professional in its appearance. I received it probably about 2 weeks ago and have already watched it a couple times, after showing it to some friends and family. Everyone I showed truly enjoyed it and appreciated the way in which it is spreading the vegan fitness message. I think the three of you, Tonya, Brendan, and yourself are an interesting trio. You really seem to balance each other out. There is Tonya, who is highly charismatic, loves the camera, and always "chipper" as she says in the DVD. She has great energy about her. Then there is Brendan, who is on the other side of the extreme, a more passive and subdued energy, but highly intelligent and well-spoken. He keeps the video feeling very professional. Then there is you. It is funny because you are in the middle of the two. You are well-spoken and professional in the DVD, but are also great in front of the camera and bring a nice energy to the video. You really hold the fort down well and bring the video full circle with Tonya and Brendan. It is funny, because the combination of personalities is what really makes the video work so well I feel. Anyway, great job with the DVD and I hope it is highly successful! Keep up all you do in making this world a better place!

Hi Robert,
I just finished watching my copy of your DVD "Vegan Fitness, Built Naturally". I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would.
I am a raw food chef and want to take my activity level up a few notches. I enjoyed how all 3 of the athletes were a little different in personality and style. The differences made it a well rounded presentation.
It was great to work out with the three of you, go to a potluck, go shopping and get your personal insights all via DVD. Seeing that you guys have actually achieved such a high level of athleticism on a vegan diet makes me very inspired and proud. I will be passing the DVD around to my friends and family.

I found " Vegan Fitness: Built Naturally" to be an enjoyable and inspirational piece of film. With a mixture of real-life footage from vegan shopping trips, nutritional advice, workout programs, and touching personal accounts of the vegan lifestyle, this DVD had it all. There is a general likeability with all three stars of the video - Robert Cheeke, Brendan Brazier, and Tonya Kay - and also a greater sense that each are powerful authorities on all aspects of the vegan fitness lifestyle. An interesting semblance is created among the three characters, as each adds their own creative personality to form an appealing and pleasant balance. The trio has a remarkable way of playing off of each other's wit, humor, and intelligence to make a very fun but professional video. With a powerful music soundtrack, engaging footage, and heart-felt reflections, this well-produced DVD is recommended to all vegans and non-vegans alike!

I just finished watching the Vegan Fitness Built Naturally DVD. I recommend everyone watch it and consider your own lifestyle. Take care of yourselves. I was so inspired to watch such unique individuals standing up for what they believe in. GO VEGAN!
