About Alive
Alive Fitness and Wellness is a boutique studio on West 8th Avenue in Vancouver, home of the Alive Method: pain-free training, rehab and strength for decades.
01 · The founder's story
Andrew started training at 17. A month before his first physique show, he was diagnosed with Bell's palsy. He stepped on stage anyway, and won his class.
Years later, as a coach, he kept seeing the same thing: clients getting hurt doing exactly what they'd been told was good form. Pain and injury had become something everyone just accepted.
So he went looking for another way. He studied Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, fascia, Functional Range Conditioning and breathwork, and brought them together into the Alive Method.
“I watched too many people get injured doing what they were told was good form. There had to be another way.”
