Active Life fills the gap neglected by fitness & healthcare.

I’m the founder and CEO of Active Life and the author of Live More. Hurt Less. For 20 years, I’ve worked with people who were told to stop doing what they love, and I’ve helped them get back to it.

I started as a personal trainer in 2005 and earned my Doctor of Chiropractic in 2009. After that, I owned three CrossFit affiliates and a rehab clinic. That’s where I tested and proved the approach that became Active Life. In 2018, I sold those businesses to take Active Life global.

I’ve worked with more than 10,000 clients and patients and mentored over 1,000 coaches and clinicians. Today there are 500+ Active Life Professionals and Candidates working in 13 countries.

I’ve helped an Olympian protect his medal run through a shoulder injury, more than 40 athletes compete at the CrossFit Games, and a veteran MLB pitcher avoid career-ending surgery. One of my clients served 16 years as a medical advisor to the President.

Live More. Hurt Less. is everything I’ve learned about pain in one book. You have to live more to hurt less, not the other way around.

Most of all, I’m a husband and a father of four. The most important thing we can do for the people who count on us is show up strong, present and whole.

Mary is the Chief Strategy Officer at Active Life. She lives in a beautiful coastal town in Connecticut with her husband, son, and two dogs.

After getting into running and ending up with an injury that sidelined her back in 2011, she found CrossFit and quickly fell into coaching and then gym ownership. She owned a gym with her husband for nearly six years before going all-in on her position at Active Life.

She and her husband were one of the first clients in Active Life’s Pro Path, and from what they learned and applied, they were able to take their gym from $15,000 per month to $30,000 per month in recurring revenue in less than a year.

She began working for Active Life in 2020 by creating the then-titled “Foundations” course for gym owners, which now makes up the Financial Literacy courses in the curriculum.

Life outside of work looks like getting to the beach and on the water as much as possible, whether that’s boating, surfing, paddle boarding, or just chasing her son around. And of course, she enjoys sustainable practical fitness and has the perfect garage gym for it.

Nick is a coach, former gym owner, and former client of Active Life. He has a habit of getting hyper obsessed with a new hobby every couple of months. I’m currently into pickle ball.

Natana (“Tana”) Flynn is currently located outside of Colorado Springs, CO until the Air Force decides its time for her family to move to their next location. Natana oversees all of Active Life’s Professional Programs and the team within. Originally, she found Active Life first as a 1:1 client and then as a coach. Eventually, she found her way working for Active Life in the sales department and has since climbed the ladder from within to now hold a Leadership team position. Natana began coaching in 2010 and has been immersed in the Active Life methodology since 2018. This fulfillment in her career grew her passion to mentor and guide others to do the same. Outside of Active Life, Tana can be found enjoying life with her 5 kids, being a big-time sports mom, riding horses, hiking and traveling with friends, working out with her husband, and genuinely being excited about each day and what is on the horizon.
