What is a fitness business supposed to do for its clients? At Active Life we believe a business exists to solve problems. When that problem is solved, unless another problem that the business can solve is present, the client no longer needs the business.  So why is it that most gym businesses and trainers want to keep clients for life? It's understandable, and in many cases it's in the best interests of the client to stay. In today's podcast Dr. Sean sits down with Cody Ringle, the operations lead for Active Life in Long Beach to discuss what the customer journey looks like and why there is intended churn at the end of it. 

Imagine if you bought apple stock in the 90s... Today it's me, Dr. Sean, alone, and I'm sharing with you a revelation I recently had that changed everything about the way I think about active life.  Enjoy.

Imagine destroying your shoulder, and then going through rehab for it. For a lot of people the thought of this is daunting. No more sports for a while, no more working out the way you're used to, and a lot of pain.  That's not how Isaac Lewis saw it. Isaac leaned into his recovery and his entrepreneurial streak to create the world's most compact, and portable cable resistance machine, Ancore Training Systems.  At the flagship for Active Life in Long Beach NY, we have 14 Ancores. We recommend them to ALL of our clients, and Dr. Sean has one in his home, so do his parents.  This podcast covers the entrepreneurial journey from college athlete to entrepreneur. It's gritty, it's creative, and it's inspiring.  Get yourself an Ancore with some gifts from us using the following codes: ACTIVELIFE - $50 off ACTIVELIFE2 - $150 off dual purchase ACTIVELIFEPRO - $300 off of a facility bundle Find Ancore on instagram at @ancoretraining Are you curious about working with us as a one-on-one client?

30 people booked discovery calls with the Flagship location for Active Life in Long Beach, NY in the month of June.  Only 13 were offered consultations. On this podcast Dr Sean and Cody Ringle discuss why. 

A recent conversation with a new client made clear that there are some things we need to share more often. This episode is an example of one of those things. 

Khan Porter has been a CrossFit Games athlete many times and coming into 2023 he was in the best shape of his life, seemingly beyond his long term aches and pains enough to train, and he had his eyes on a top 10 finish at the annual CrossFit Games.  Khan's long time back injury came back with a vengeance and it got so bad that he couldn't even drive his car without taking his foot off of the gas and pulling over to recover.  Spoiler alert, Khan has been working with Active Life for several months now and he is finally beginning to see a possibility for a life of freedom, without compromise, being in the cards for him.  He's so optimistic and happy with his time as an Active Life client that he's partnering with us to give away over $3,000 worth of coaching from us.
