What is the VTLZR Community of Hybrid Athletes and High-Performers?

what is vtlzr

Welcome to VTLZR, a community of hybrid athletes and high-performers promoting the benefits of strength and endurance training for mental and physical health.

We’ve seen the power of combining these training methods firsthand, creating a balanced approach to physical fitness that increases performance, boosts recovery, and develops healthier habits for a better life.

We want to share the knowledge and benefits with as many people as possible.

That is our mission: to make the world a healthier, happier place through exercise, high-performance habits, proper nutrition, and hybrid athletics.

Our goal is to give YOU the resources and support to live an incredible, purpose-filled life and to feel great doing it.

Why is making the world a healthier place our mission?

There’s an intense correlation between physical and mental well-being & it is our goal to help millions of people become more fit to live a better life.

To shed light on the state of American health, here are recent statistics from various studies:

  • ​70%​ of U.S. adults fail to meet the combined physical activity and strength training benchmark
  • ​25%​ of U.S. adults are not active at all
  • ​1 in 5​ American kids is considered obese, and 25% of children 6–17 fail to achieve 60 minutes of daily physical activity
  • Nearly 30% of U.S. teens ​report​ poor mental health, with 22% having seriously considered suicide


Opinions vary, but it’s clear that as screen time increases, so do the rates of mental and physical health issues.

That’s our why.

We want to help the world embrace exercise and social community, and at VTLZR, movement is the movement.

Our movement is specifically hybrid athlete training for physical and mental toughness.

However, that style of training is not a requirement to be part of this community.

We created this community to help millions across the USA put down their phones and pick up the weights or hit the trails, and we want YOU to join us on this incredible journey.

Why the name “Vitalizer”?

The term “Vitalizer” is derived from the word ‘vitalize,’ which means to give strength or energy.

But in our context, a “Vitalizer” is more than that.

It’s defined as “someone who imparts energy, vitality, and spirit to others,” but we don’t stop there.

A Vitalizer champions the cause of holistic fitness, embodying the strength of weightlifting and the endurance of cardio training while inspiring and motivating others to embark on their own journey toward a healthier life.

They are the heart and soul of our community, driving our mission forward with enthusiasm and commitment.

Vitalizersembrace the uncomfortable‘ with the understanding that there’s growth on the other side.

They relentlessly challenge themselves to reach new heights, pushing the boundaries of their physical and mental capacities – while supporting the community around them.

Vitalizers lead by example yet take the time to support and celebrate the successes of their peers.

They strive to outdo their past performances, understanding that growth is a continuous journey that requires consistent effort, perseverance, and a mindset of resilience.

It’s this unwavering commitment to personal growth that sets Vitalizers apart. Their journey is a testament to the transformative power of hybrid training, and they continually inspire others with their ability to transcend conventional fitness paradigms.

They truly embody the spirit of the hybrid athlete, experiencing growth like never before.
