Our Story
“Necessity is the mother of invention.” This was definitely the case for VitFit. In 2007, Philadelphia-based personal trainer, Elizabeth Robinson found herself with more clients than time in a day. In an effort to maximize the level of service for her clients, and help them maintain their training programs within the limitations of a busy schedule, Liz created a virtual solution that became the myVitFit fitness platform.
myVitFit began as a series of individual audio workouts and training calendars for specific training clients. Over the years, the workouts have been tested, adjusted and have grown in number and diversity.
The single most important development in the myVitFit program came in 2010 when the team created the assessment tools and algorithms necessary to provide an online program that could genuinely be called a “personalized” training program. Shortly thereafter, the website myvitfit.com was launched.
Fitness should be fun, accessible and thought-free. We like to say, “Workout like no one is watching!” No one is watching you and you don’t have to “follow” anyone else. myVitFit is YOU being YOU at your best.
Our clients work hard and make decisions all day, but when they workout, they just play. Your workout should be worry free, fun and effective. Whatever your goal or fitness level, myVitFit takes the work out of your workout.
Try it yourself.
The best way to get to know myVitFit is try it yourself. Try our 4-day demo that includes our industry-leading fitness assessment, the highest quality personalized daily workouts, and private online community.

Regi Drake
Fitness Director
Regi was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, as the most introverted member of his family. Though participating in a number of recreational sports throughout his time in school, an unhealthy lifestyle caused him to gain a great deal of weight at a young age. His heaviest weight clocked in at 213 lbs at 14 years old, dubbing him the name “Fat Bullet” for his impressive speed despite his size. It wasn’t until Regi entered college that he took his health and wellness seriously.
After taking a position at his campus’s fitness center, Regi grew to understand the importance of a powerful body, strong mind, and a driven purpose through shadowing the lead trainer of the facility. After adapting those same principles, he later received his accreditation from the National Association of Sports Medicine and began personal training with the intention of helping men and women find their unique inner ability and create their own stories.
Currently in Seattle, Washington, Regi has been personal training for 7+ years (both in person and online), instructing his own Metabolic Conditioning class, and holds mentions on Reebok’s website for the techniques and practices in fitness.
