VPT is fitness that fits you.
Our Story
VPT started in May of 2020 at the height of the covid-19 pandemic when most of the world were confined to their homes. My wife and I were home like everyone else, unsure of what the future looked like. The wellness center we had built and maintained for 6 years was forced to temporarily close. Like others, the stress and fears started to creep into our minds and all of the energy from not being able to work started to build up.
Ash and I directed this energy into fitness as an outlet. Fitness has always been a form of meditation for us. It takes you out of your mind and into your body. It boosts your endorphins, inducing a chemical high that elevates your mood and calms your body. Fitness can be a way to efficiently strengthen your mind and body at the same time, relieving stress, building confidence, and empowering you to live the life you want. That is what we discovered during this time and we decided to share that with others.
We posted an offer on Instagram that we would make a week of workouts for FREE to anyone who was interested. You tell us what equipment you have, how many workouts you want, how long you want them to be, what space you have available, and your goals; we will send you workouts each week that fit those parameters! The message was well received and we were soon making workouts for many of our family and friends (some of them are still receiving weekly workouts as VPT BOLD members today).
As restrictions lifted and we returned to work, we realized that we had found a way that we could help people all over the world while doing what we love, and VPT - Virtual Personal Trainer was born. Two years later, we stay true to our origins with our vow to always offer FREE health and fitness resources to those who are looking to take charge of their fitness journey. I hope that you find what you are looking for.
