Silas Wyper

This past season I was the quarterback for the Darien High School football team. Our team, projected to go 7-4 at best, ended up with a 12-2 record and a birth in the State Championship game. Much of our success, and in particular my personal accomplishments, can be attributed to Vigor Fitness and the incredible work John did for us as a team and me as an individual player. The past two off-seasons, I bought into John’s workout routine, and the results could be seen immediately.

With John’s extensive experience, and more importantly his personal investment to making his clients better, I was able to transform into the type of player I needed to be. On the surface, the results are apparent. Coming into high school, I bench pressed 115 pounds, and going into last season I was around 250, accompanied by one of the higher squat maxes on the team, but the numerical gains do not even begin to accurately represent the ways I benefited from working with John. By building my confidence, making me a better athlete, and truly becoming a great friend, John was crucial in the success my teammates and I shared this past season.

“His knowledge of personal fitness is so in-depth that he can guess how many reps I got of a certain lift.”
