Our founder, Charlie Szoradi, was inspired to create Acceler Fitness from personal experiences along his fitness journey. At age 56 (in 2023) Charlie set out to improve his health, increase strength and explore tactics for reverse-aging and overall sustainable living.
Over the past decade, he has been actively involved with advanced indoor agriculture and cultivating superfoods like microgreens. His work has included speaking at schools as well as on videos, podcasts, and at conferences with organizations like Future Food Right Now and the nonprofit StudentFarmers.org.
Along the fitness path, Charlie was overwhelmed with the amount of information online and from trainers and fellow trainees at his gym relative to exercise and nutrition.
Here are just some examples of the areas of focus that in many cases had conflicting information and inspired Charlie to launch Acceler Fitness:
Workout Exercises:
- Sequence of resistance exercises, including how and when to lift for composite muscle exercise relative to isolated muscles, and how often to change equipment for a given workout pattern.
- Sequence of workouts over a week in conjunction with cardio exercise such as swimming, biking, and running to optimize overall fitness
Pre and Post-Workout:
- Timing, length, and advantages of sauna sessions relative to workouts to improve cardio strength as well as increase Human Growth Hormones (HGH)
- Timing, length, and advantages of cold showers and/or cold plunges relative to workouts and the respective impact on hypertrophy and reverse-aging
- Recovery day schedule and techniques including advantages of dynamic stretching and yoga
Nutrition:
- Timing and levels of protein intake as well as overall caloric intake to increase muscle mass while simultaneously reducing body fat
- Muscle recovery techniques and advantages of drinking tart cherry juice and apple cider vinegar
- Timing, length, and advantages of daily intermittent fasting, weekly/monthly 24 hour fasting and occasional 48 hour fasting to reset gut biome, build organ strength, and promote reverse-aging.
- Advantages and types of vitamins and supplements such as “green powders” and creatine, as well as probiotic and prebiotic foods like yogurt and sauerkraut, without preservatives
- Advantages and volume of foods like eggs, chia seeds, blueberries, and superfoods like microgreens as part of a whole food diet
- Skin health with certain foods
Night Rituals:
- Pre-sleep techniques and intake to foster deeper beneficial sleep
- Pre-sleep facial and body creams that are cost-effective for long-term advantages
- The right amount of sleep
Morning Rituals:
- Food, drink, skin care and overall techniques to optimize each day
Graphic Origin
Our founder, Charlie Szoradi, believes that a picture is worth a thousand words and that graphic design often has the power to communicate a plurality of meanings. Charlie designed our Acceler Fitness (AF) logo to reflect interconnectivity as well as positive upward motion.
The design with the ring of logos is a graphic representation of our Acceler Fitness mission and vision.
Why eight spokes on the Acceler Fitness wheel?
On the design front, we initially picked the layout with eight spokes, because the graphic created an inner circle to frame and expand the central globe. Our thinking is that each of the Acceler Fitness (AF) logo marks represent participating trainers and trainees who together improve their own lives and the lives of others in our collective world. The numerological and spiritual meaning of the number eight is a bonus:

On the spiritual front, the number 8 holds a special symbolic significance in the Bible, representing new beginnings, rebirth, and resurrection. Source: Bible with US
As a symbol of abundance and prosperity, the number 8 holds great significance. In Chinese culture, the pronunciation of the word “eight” sounds similar to the word for “wealth” or “prosper.” Source: Spirituality Shepherd
When this number enters your life, it signifies that you are on the right path to achieving your goals and ambitions. Source: Crystal Stones
We hope that you embrace the “spirit” of renewal, balance, and prosperity along your fitness path!
