Our Success Stories
I was always too busy for anything except work. Something had to change. That change was triggered by the Active Lifestyle Academy. When Mike explained the Spectrum of Exercise to me, I instantly got it. From that moment on I made a series of small but positive steps forward and my position on that spectrum has improved. The great thing is, it promotes long-term change that is sustainable.

Mike is brimming with knowledge and enthusiasm. His own exercise challenge blows my mind, so having him in my corner, helping me create and achieve my own challenge is fantastic. I’m learning from a real expert.
Alan
Before my involvement with the Active Lifestyle Academy, I just couldn’t make the exercise habit stick. I wanted to. I really did want to take more exercise. I would set a new year’s resolution every year, but my Do It Yourself plans never worked. Mike’s mentoring has changed everything. This programme works. It’s that simple. If it works for me, then it could work for you.

Got Questions?
Do I need a gym?
No. The workouts are designed to work anywhere home, hotel, or gym. Many clients start with just bodyweight and see results. Equipment can be added later if you want, but it’s never required.
What if I travel a lot for work or family?
Travel doesn’t have to ruin your routine. You’ll get quick, equipment-free workouts and simple nutrition strategies for airports, restaurants, and hotels. Many clients say it’s the first time they’ve stayed consistent on the road.
I’ve tried before and failed. What makes this different?
This isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress. We focus on flexible habits that fit real life, not strict rules. With accountability and adjustments along the way, clients finally stick with it long-term.
How long are the sessions, really?
Most workouts are 20–35 minutes. They’re short enough to fit into a busy day but structured to deliver real results without burnout.
How soon will I start seeing results?
Everyone’s starting point is different, but most clients begin to notice changes in their energy, mood, and consistency within the first few weeks. Visible results like strength, muscle tone, or weight changes typically follow after steady habits take root. We focus on creating a foundation you can actually maintain—so the results last, not fade away after a few months.
Are there strict nutrition rules or plans I have to follow?
No strict diets here. You’ll learn how to make balanced choices in everyday situations—business lunches, family dinners, even wine nights. It’s about eating in a way that feels natural and sustainable.
The best day to start feeling better is today.
