Michael is 57. Wanted to run a 5K most of his adult life.
Every time he tried, his knee gave out. The last attempt with a personal trainer ended in a stress fracture. Generic apps, one-size-fits-all programs, trainers who didn't know what to do with a body that hurt. Same result every time. Pain, injury, stop.
So he stopped trying. For a while.
Then he found Active Life. We assessed him and told him the truth nobody else had bothered to find. His knee wasn't the problem. The muscles, ligaments, and tendons that were supposed to support the running weren't strong enough with enough capacity. The pain wasn't from running. It was from running without the foundation.
Three years in, Michael ran his 5K. Now he's training for a 10K with his 22-year-old daughter.
His words on what changed: "They actually listened. And when they built the program, it was built for me. Not for everybody."
Live more. Hurt less.
