How VIGOR Training Began

After 14 years in corporate fitness, I left a Sr. Director position in 2015 to join my wife in her network marketing business. Through that experience, I made a number of new guy friends, a couple of whom kept asking me to put together a training program for them (Les Wright especially ;-) ).

After they'd asked enough times, I found an app I could use and designed the first version of VIGOR Training. That was in October, 2017.

Since designing that first training plan, which is called VIGOR Strength Athlete today, I've added additional teams and programs. to the membership offering.

While I often spoke about nutrition and lifestyle choices, and wrote about them on my blog, I didn't offer anything structured.

With my 20 year anniversary in fitness taking place on October 1, 2021, I thought it was a perfect time to release a new and more powerful version of VIGOR Training, which now includes an ongoing nutrition curriculum and twice-monthly, members-only video calls.

I'm excited to see the results of this updated membership offering as well as the growth of a wider membership audience. 

In 2021, it's never been more obvious that a healthy and fit body is the most powerful way to ward off disease. I hope to play a small role in helping others develop those fit and healthy bodies.
