“IF YOU WANT TO BE A LION, YOU MUST TRAIN WITH LIONS.”
CARLSON GRACIE
Workout when it works for you.
You have the flexibility to show up at the gym whenever it works in your schedule, open your app, and follow the plan.
Not sure about how to do an exercise? You’ll have videos and/or written instructions to make it simple.
Curious about what you did last week? No problem! All of your previous performance is saved in the app.
Train on your own, but not alone.
You might workout by yourself, but you’re not alone. You’ve got hundreds of other VIGOR Training members doing the same workouts on the same days.
You can message them from your app with questions or encouragement. Some sessions, you’ll even compete and see how you stack up on the leaderboard.
And, you can post in the VIGOR (men) or VIGORESS (women) whenver you have other questions, or post videos of you training when you want feedback on your form.
Follow a fitness plan that gets results.
VIGOR Training isn’t entertainment. It’s a fitness plan designed to get you in, get done what you need, and get on with your life.
Pick the training team that best fits your goals and get started.

Additional Training Programs
Additional Program Options Included With Your VIGOR Training Membership
Athlete In Training: A two-phase, six month foundation program focused on the primary lifts we use in VIGOR Everyday Athlete and VIGOR Strength Athlete.

Army Combat Fitness Test: 12-week program to prep for the new ACFT (this plan is free for service men and women).
For VIGOR Training, you’ll need standard gym equipment, such as barbells, dumbbells, squat racks, benches, and some cable machines and bands/tubing.
All sessions take 40-80 minutes, but most are about an hour.
POWERFUL PROGRAMMING DELIVERED THROUGH AN AWESOME APP
Know what to do.
When you get to the gym, your workout will be waiting. Just open your app and follow the directions.
How to do it.
Your app doesn’t just have sets and reps. I’ve also selected or recorded videos and/or written directions to ensure you do the movement as perfectly as possible.
Train by yourself.
You don’t need to wait for a trainer or training buddy. Just get started, and try to outdo what you’ve done before.
But don’t train alone.
Use the in-app messaging to stay engaged with other VIGOR Training members. Post your scores to the leaderboard (when it’s included) to see how you perform against others, and cheer others one.
Go to the gym. Open your app. Follow the directions. Log your session.
WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING
NEW MEMBER COMMON QUESTIONS
Are there sport-specific or training-specific programs?
In addition to the programs listed above, VIGOR Training members also get access to:
- Rags & Mud – A 12-week training plan to prepare for an adventure race like the Tough Mudder or Ragnar Run
- VIGOR ACFT – A 12-week training plan to prep for the Army Combat Fitness Test
- Road Warrior – A short-term program when a hotel gym or cruise ship gym is all you have access to
Do you design the training plans yourself, or are they generic "canned" programs?
I design all the training plans myself. That’s why it’s worth at least $29 per month, instead of using a generic app with no intelligence behind it for $10 a month.
I also use the VIGOR(ESS) Strength Athlete plan for my own training. I stay a week ahead of the rest of the team so I can make sure I set up the plan correctly.
Is the training gender-specific?
No. The training programs are the same for men and women.
If I don't want to join a gym, can I still do the program?
To get the most out of VIGOR Training, you need:
- Barbell
- Plates with weights totalling at least 200 lbs to start with
- Dumbbells up to at least 50 lbs to start with
- Squat rack with pull-up attachement
- Adjustable bench
Though you can probably find all of this equipment for a good deal on Craig’s list, I strongly recommend joining a gym. You’re more likely to follow through with your training plan when you’re around other people getting fit.
Do I have to sign up for multiple months or do some sort of contract?
Nope. Your membership is month-to-month, so if you want to cancel, just contact me at least 48 hours before your next charge processes.
