VIGOR TRAINING
Proven fitness programs. Train anytime, at any gym.
Workout alone, but never on your own.
Starts at only $29 per month.
If you want to be a lion, train with lions.
Your Goals. Your Team.
With three goal-specific teams – VIGOR Weight Loss, VIGOR Everyday Athlete, and VIGOR Strength Athlete – and other short-term programs, VIGOR Training has the right plan for you.
Your membership gives you access to all the programs, so when you’re ready to transition from one to the next, the program is ready for you.
Workout When It Works In Your Schedule
Morning, noon, or night. Train whenever it’s right for you. It’s as simple as this:
Go to the gym. Open your app. Follow your plan for the day. Track your performance.
Know What To Do, How To Do It, How Many, and How Much
Progress is about proper movement and progressive programming.
Each set is specifically set up as part of a larger plan that moves you toward your goals each session.
Not sure how to do something? No problem. You have written and/or video demos that show you how to do it.
Train On Your Own, But Never Alone
Across the country, and even the world, others tackle the same training sessions you do.
The commenting and group messaging feature keeps you connected. The VIGOR (men) or VIGORESS (women) Facebook group is where I answer questions, offer insights on your exercise technique, and talk nutrition and supplements.
ONE MEMBERSHIP. ALL ACCESS.
Your VIGOR Training membership gives you access to all VIGOR Training teams and programs.

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.
