The Active Life Podcast

It is no secret that most of society puts their primary trust into medical doctors' opinions. At Active Life, we believe that the healthcare clinic of the future is the gym and the healthcare provider of the future is the coach; we also know how important it is to have the support and respect of medical providers to back you up.   Would you feel confident asking a local doctor to refer his patients to your gym? What do you think it would take for that doctor to do so? Do you believe that you have the trust and respect from the local medical community near you?   In this episode we talk to Dr. Nick, MD aka The Fittest Doc, about his contribution to CrossFit and the medical community nation wide as a doctor with SteadyMD. Dr. Nick is not your average MD; as a black belt in taekwondo, a CrossFit Level 1 Coach and the ability to throw around a heavy barbell, Dr. Nick is no stranger to the fitness community. We discuss building connections with physicians outside of the gym, finding the right healthcare provider for your lifestyle, plus he shares one of his pet-peeves when it comes to people trying to gain his business (hint: what not to do!). He’s full of information and passion for this industry and we’re excited to share this one with you!   Podcast Resources: Are you ready to Turn Pro?

Do you find yourself struggling with the decision to spend the money you currently have in order to build the life that you want in the future? This fear-response around having, spending and acquiring money is one of the biggest faults business owners have leading to analysis-paralysis and regret.   Today’s guest has made it his passion to transform fear to fuel in order to thrive and live his best life. Patrick Sweeney is an author, entrepreneur and adventure seeker on a mission to help others discover and face their fears. He found his courage after a near-death experience with cancer forced him to answer the question. “What the hell am I doing with my life?”.   In this guest episode, we dive into the neuroscience behind the fear response and different ways it can show up in our lives. We also unpack prior belief systems and false armors that are likely preventing you from taking that next step in business. Is the fear of losing what you currently have holding you back from taking the next step towards professionalism in your business?

Are you still looking for ways to increase 1-on-1 sales in your gym? If you are not implementing assessments for every single client, you are losing opportunity. Assessments allows us to provide safety and value for each client while creating conversation for personal training sales. In this first episode of Turning Pro, Larry Gaier and Dr. Sean discuss how to turn assessments into cash flow by increasing personal training and lowering injury.  If you aren’t assessing every new client that walks in you’re turning your back on gym revenue and client safety.

Did you know that only about 5% of the population will create & set goals for their life? Mind blowing right?! That means roughly 95% of people out there are letting life happen to them, instead of for them. If you're listening to us it's likely you are one of the 5%.  We love setting goals at ActiveLife, it is literally how this company was founded. Like today's guest, we believe that when it comes to setting goals, the bigger & scarier... the better.
