About

Fitness without the fuss

Indie-built apps since 2020 — one developer, personal customer support, just programs that work.

Clear beats clever

No screaming coaches or confusing routines. Workouts should be easy to follow and deliver real results.

Try before you buy

Every app includes a 7-day free trial. Cancel anytime in your App Store or Play Store settings.

Programs, not playlists

Each app is built around a sport — rowing SPM, treadmill intervals, gym progressions — not a generic workout library with a new logo.

The story

Built for real training habits

Vigour started because most fitness apps feel like they were written for people who already live in the gym. The goal was simpler: structured sessions for the sport you care about, with enough guidance that you can show up tired and still execute a good workout.

Today that means rowing rate targets on the rowing machine, walk-run cues on the treadmill, and sensible load progressions in the weight room — all maintained by a solo developer who ships, supports, and listens to athletes directly.

We publish free workout guides on this site so you can read the full program before you install. When you are ready, the same structure lives in the app with coaching, logging, and reminders built in.

How we work

Small team, long view

Ship, then refine

Features roll out when they are genuinely useful — Ask Coach, new programs, better stats — not on a marketing calendar.

Privacy where it counts

Workout data stays yours. Ask Coach runs on-device with Apple Intelligence — no cloud model reading your conversations.

Support from the builder

Questions go to the person who wrote the code. That means your feedback goes to the person who cares.

Free resources

Read the plans before you download

Full schedules for rowing, treadmill, and strength programs — week by week, session by session — are on our workout guides hub.

Questions or feedback?

Whether you are troubleshooting a workout, suggesting a program, or exploring a partnership — we read every message.
