Craig Levinson spent more than 25 years selling and implementing technologies used in regulated pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing before founding Velocity Biohacking & Longevity in Carmel, Indiana. The connection isn’t incidental — Velocity’s model of dosed training stimulus, structured recovery, and measurable outcomes is a direct application of the same evidence-based standards Craig relied on throughout his career in life sciences.

A Career Built on Measurable Outcomes

Craig’s path into life sciences began in 2000 at Packard Bioscience as a Customer Application Engineer, training laboratory customers on liquid-handling instrumentation in GLP and GMP-regulated environments. Over the next two decades, he moved through progressively larger commercial roles:

Waters Corporation (2002) — Technical Sales Specialist managing a three-state territory that included Eli Lilly, Pfizer, and Procter & Gamble.
Sigma-Aldrich SAFC (2004–2014) — Business Development Manager, later managing the animal health business across North America and designing platform media into major accounts including Eli Lilly, Alexion, and Novavax.
Cytiva / GE Healthcare Life Sciences (2014–2022) — Account Manager, then Strategic Account Manager, ultimately negotiating a global master supply agreement with Eli Lilly worth an estimated $200 million in lifetime value, after the deal had been under negotiation for five years.
Repligen (2022–present) — West Coast Regional Manager, leading a team of nine bioprocess account managers and holding $140 million in annual revenue responsibility.

Every one of these roles required the same underlying discipline: translating complex, technical processes into measurable, verifiable outcomes for customers operating in tightly regulated environments.

Why That Background Translates to Wellness

Biohacking and longevity, at their core, are about the same thing pharmaceutical manufacturing is about — data, dosing, mechanism, and outcome. Craig’s interest in health and wellness developed alongside his professional career, informed directly by decades of working in environments where results depend on measurable inputs rather than trends or intuition.

That shows up in how Velocity is built. Instead of a high-volume, class-based gym model, Velocity is intentionally designed around:

Precisely dosed training stimulus. Core strength training is limited to 1–2 sessions per week specifically because of its high neuromuscular demand — the same “less but more effective” logic that governs dosing in a clinical or manufacturing context.
Structured recovery as a core input, not an afterthought. Recovery and relaxation modalities are built into the model to support adaptation and reduce injury risk, not offered as an unrelated amenity.
Objective baseline data. Diagnostics like bioelectrical impedance analysis and optional blood panel testing establish measurable starting points and track change over time, the same way a regulated lab tracks a process against a baseline.
A skeptical, mechanism-first approach. Craig’s personal interest in NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) supplementation and other longevity protocols is grounded in understanding the underlying biological mechanism first, then applying interventions consistently — not chasing whatever wellness trend is popular that month.

Filling a Gap, Not Following a Trend

Craig doesn’t come from a traditional fitness industry background, and he’s direct about that. What he brings instead is 25 years of consultative selling, client education, team leadership, and operational discipline inside complex, technical, regulated industries — the same competencies that go into building and running a credible, results-oriented wellness business rather than a trend-driven one.

Velocity is designed for people who think the same way: professionals and executives in the Carmel and Zionsville area who want efficiency and evidence over volume and hype, and who are willing to invest in a model built around outcomes they can actually measure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Craig Levinson have a medical or fitness industry background? No. Craig’s background is in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sales and account management, spanning companies including Packard Bioscience, Waters Corporation, Sigma-Aldrich SAFC, Cytiva, and Repligen. Velocity’s model applies the data-driven, outcomes-focused discipline from that career to fitness, recovery, and longevity.

What is Craig Levinson’s connection to Velocity Biohacking & Longevity? Craig Levinson is the founder and owner-operator of Velocity Biohacking & Longevity, based in Carmel, Indiana.

Why does Velocity limit strength training to 1–2 sessions per week? Because core strength training uses high-neuromuscular-demand, maximal-effort protocols, and the model prioritizes precisely dosed stimulus supported by structured recovery over high training volume.

Is Velocity’s approach based on medical treatment? No. Velocity is a non-medical fitness, recovery, and wellness facility. Diagnostics and assessments offered are positioned as informational tools to support fitness and wellness planning, not as medical diagnosis or treatment.
