Private coaching for women who want to feel strong again — through perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
A fully custom 3-month coaching experience built around your body, your history, your hormones, your injuries, and the life God has given you to live.
Hi, I'm Alana Bouley.
I founded Active Life Academy after 25 years of helping women move well and feel strong. I hold a Master's in Kinesiology and a Bachelor's in Human Performance (Exercise Physiology), and across my career I've worked as a strength and conditioning coach, a personal trainer, and a spinal rehabilitation therapist — with a long history of guiding women through post-surgery and joint-replacement recovery.
But just as much, I've lived this. I've been active my whole life, from playing soccer through college on. And still, when perimenopause came for my own body, it blindsided me. That's the moment everything I teach was born: women in the change don't need another generic, cookie-cutter program — the kind the internet is flooded with. We need training that meets our real bodies, our real history, and our real lives.
I also coach from a biblical worldview. I firmly believe we're called to be good stewards of the bodies God gave us — so my work is about strength and function, never vanity. Getting strong enough to serve, move, and live fully is the whole point.
The body is a gift to steward — and strength is for living.

1:1 coaching
with me
this month
One person, who actually knows your body.
Most programs hand every woman the same plan and hope it fits. This is the opposite of that.
Here's the honest truth about a downloadable program or a one-size app: it has no way to work around your bad knee, your healing shoulder, your back, or the limitations only you live with. It can't see you, so it can't adjust — and that's exactly how women get hurt or quietly give up. My Master's in Kinesiology, my Bachelor's in Human Performance, and 25 years with real bodies are the difference: I can build around your specific injuries and limitations safely, and change the plan the moment something doesn't feel right. No algorithm can do that for you.
For three months, it's just you and me. I learn your history, your injuries, your season of life, and the goals that matter to you — then I build a plan around all of it. As you change, the plan changes. You're never guessing, and you're never on your own.
This isn't about chasing a look or a number on a scale. It's about getting strong enough to live the life in front of you — keeping up with your children or grandchildren, holding up through a demanding work life, traveling without your body paying for it, and playing the sports you love — golf, pickleball, tennis — better than you have in years.
Expert care for backs, joints, and post-surgery recovery.
This is exactly where a generic online program can hurt you — and where my background sets your training apart. If you carry a back issue or you're rebuilding after surgery, you need someone who truly understands the mechanics. I do.

As far as I know, no other coach brings this exact combination of training to women's fitness — and it's built into every plan I write for you.
The body is a gift to steward — and strength is for living.
The same method I've coached one-on-one with Wimbledon champion Jo Anne Russel.
The exact approach behind Active Life 1:1 is the one I deliver personally — including to a Wimbledon champion. You get the same eyes, the same care, and the same method, built entirely around you.
"I used to dread working out — I was tired, low energy, and nothing seemed to fit my life. These short workouts changed that. I actually have energy now, and I look forward to moving my body."
"I feel stronger and have less pain when I walk — and I'm moving better than I have in years."

- A fully custom programHome or gym, any equipment you have, weighted toward the resistance training your body needs most in this season — and built entirely around you.
- A walkthrough callI teach you your plan myself, so you start with confidence and good form instead of a PDF you have to decode.
- 5 more coaching callsAbout every two weeks, we meet to check in and adjust your program as you grow stronger. Your plan keeps pace with you.
- Bounded messaging between callsHave a question between sessions? Message me and I'll reply within a day. Real support — without the pressure of being on call around the clock for either of us.

I'd rather you know now than enroll into something that isn't for you.
This is for you if…
- You're tired of generic plans that ignore your body and your season
- You want one person who knows your history and adjusts as you go
- You're ready to commit to three months of steady, real work
- You want fitness that builds the strength to serve and live an active life — not vanity
This probably isn't if…
- You're looking for a quick fix or a 30-day transformation
- You'd prefer a do-it-yourself plan (the course is a better fit — and it's included here anyway)
- You're not in a season where you can be coached and adjust
How it works.
Good questions, answered.

What if I need to pause?
Do you offer refunds?
What equipment do I need?
A few things to know
If life happens. If a genuine illness or injury comes up during your three months, we can pause your program and pick back up when you're ready — your time isn't lost.
About the guides. The Meal & Metabolism Guide and Supplement Guide are for general information only. They aren't medical advice, and they're not a substitute for guidance from your physician — please check with your doctor before changing your nutrition, supplements, or exercise, especially if you have a health condition.
Before we begin. Every client completes a brief health questionnaire and signs a coaching agreement and liability waiver before starting — it keeps your training safe and built around your real history.
Let's see if we're a fit.
Pick a time below for a free, 15-minute call. It's just a relaxed conversation — no pressure, no obligation, and nothing to pay. If it feels like a fit, we'll talk about your next step from there.
Only 5 coaching spots are open this month. Booking a call is completely free — you won't be charged anything.
