MEET MIKE

From fragile to capable.
From hesitation to adventure.

I’m Mike Gardner, known online as FireLifeMike.

I’m a human optimization mentor and mobility coach, and a former multisport collegiate athlete.

I know what it feels like when your body holds you back.

I fell off a waterfall and badly injured my hip.

The injury led to years of recurring problems in my hips and knees.

I began to feel fragile. Even the sports and fitness I loved felt risky.

Mobility work helped me rebuild function, capacity, and confidence. Now I teach others the tools that helped me reclaim an adventurous life.

THE TURNING POINT

From feeling fragile to building the capacity to say yes again.

Build more capacity than the adventure requires.

My approach is simple. We assess how you move today, identify the gaps, and build the capacity your goals demand, with a buffer beyond what the adventure asks of you.
