Limits? Only in other people's minds.
For Lionel Spitz, this phrase is more than just words – it’s an attitude. The Swiss top sprinter is one of Europe’s fastest 400-meter runners. His goal: the 44-second mark. What does it take? Focus, discipline – and tools that support him every step of the way. Even off the track.
Whether training, competing, or balancing appointments, travel, and university life – gloryfy glasses are Lionel’s daily companion. Not because he has to, but because they just work. With prescription – whether sports, lifestyle, or corrective frames.
Lionel Spitz
Born in 1999 and raised in the canton of Zurich – Lionel is part of a new generation of athletes who see performance not as pressure, but as motivation. 400m is his discipline – a distance between sprint and endurance, between control and pushing the absolute limit. Lionel trains hard, studies at the same time, and is constantly on the move – always traveling between the stadium, university life, and recovery. A lifestyle that demands flexibility – even when it comes to his glasses.
Two glasses, one promise: clarity
What Lionel needs is clarity—on and off the track. That’s why he wears gloryfy—in two versions, perfectly tailored to his everyday life:
🕶️ Sunglasses with prescription lenses – for perfect vision during training, even in changing light conditions.
👓 Prescription frame with direct glazing—robust, lightweight, and stylish
"I need glasses that stay stable under heavy use—but are also so comfortable I can wear them all day.", says Lionel.
