Vigor Transformations

I have been seeing Peter for 10 months and he is excellent. I have a history of back issues and he focuses on making sure my form correct at all times. He pays attention to detail and makes sure that each workout is different but effective. I have enjoyed my time with Peter and plan to continue to work with him for the long term.

A Cut AbovePeter Helmes of Vigor Transformations is a gem.Whether you’re an athlete training to repair an injury or an octogenarian who’s never stepped into a gym (or someone in between like me), Peter meets you where you’re at and works with you at a pace that will improve your conditioning, flexibility, and core strength.Over the years at various gyms, I have had three trainers. I believe that working with a trainer is the safest and most reliable way to make progress. I have been blessed by each of the trainers I’ve worked with. But Peter’s knowledge of the human body, particularly the interconnections of the muscular system, make him a standout. Perhaps due to his former training as a masseuse, he has shown me how to work through or around any strain or ache. He knows how to tweak an exercise for maximum effect, and he recognizes when I’m not working an exercise properly. For above all, with Peter, form matters . . . NOT the number of reps or the heft of the weight. If you are doing the exercise without proper form, you’re risking injury at worst, or at best wasting your time.These are the main reasons to work with a trainer: to gain strength and to avoid injury. If you’re in the market for a trainer who will meet you where you’re at and safely help you reach your goals, look no further.

Peter is the best. I've been working with him for about nine months. He is very knowledgeable about biomechanics and has helped me gain strength, balance and fitness despite a number of injuries that had been keeping me on the couch for years. He has an uncanny sense of how to build strength in little-used muscles in order to offload injured tendons, joints, and muscles. He can work well with clients of all ages and abilities. The group sessions are fun and have already made a huge difference in my life. I could not recommend him more highly.

Peter is a great great trainer who really understands body mechanics and who constantly keeps working on learning and improving at his craft. His approach to every client seems to be highly individualized. He has taught me how to correctly perform a lot of different movements while explaining what exactly happens in your body when you do them, which really ends up making a noticeable difference in terms of injuries and strength. Out of the several trainers I've met over the years Peter is by far the best.

I highly recommend Peter as a personal trainer. I have been with him for may years and he has worked with me on getting my body to where I wanted it to be. I have never been one to participate in sports or know anything about weight lifting. He has taught me how to properly work specific areas of my body. He is someone who always makes sure you are doing the exercises correctly. He makes you feel comfortable, explains things fully and is easy to work with. I high recommend Peter to anyone who is looking for a fantastic trainer!

Great trainer, great person, highly recommend.

I have been working with Pete for over 3 years. Pete is always willing to modify exercises in order to meet your physical abilities. Since working with Pete, my form and strength have greatly improved. If you are looking for someone is patient and knowledgeable then Pete at Vigor Transformations is the place to go!

I've been working with Peter for 4 years now. Ive been an athlete all my life. Once I hit 26, I knew I needed to start working out more.Pete and I took all my measurements, and put together a plan. Within 3 months we dropped my body fat % from 17% to 11%. Built lean muscle, and got in great shape.He's extremely knowledgeable about the human anatomy, and shows you many workouts to fit your body type.I moved from Newton 3 years ago, and now drive 40mins just to see him, because he's that good.If you're on the fence about working out, go in and see him. He'll get you where you need to be and feeling great

I began working with Peter about 4 years ago so I could tone up and get a bit stronger. I was so pleased with the results that I got and I learned so much from him about proper form and lifting weights! I got more than I asked for. He is very patient and focused, breaking down each movement and learning your body mechanics. My strength, confidence, endurance and energy all increased exponentially from working with him. Definitely recommend contacting Vigor Transformations! He will help you reach your goals no matter what they are.

I have trained with Peter for 3 or so years. He is very knowledgeable and the small groups are very friendly.I am a senior citizen and have just had double knee replacement surgery (ouch!). My Physical Therapist tells me that my leg muscles are in great shape and that's why I'm progressing with rehab so well - all thanks to Peter!
