Anees Siddiqui is the visionary founder of Active Lifestyle, an initiative dedicated to inspiring and empowering 10,000 individuals to achieve lifelong fitness, health, and happiness through the principles of an active lifestyle. His  journey began with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Integral University, Lucknow, which led him to a career spanning over 11 years in academia. During this time, he published more than 25 papers in international and national journals and conferences, earning five best paper awards for his contributions.

His professional journey started as a production engineer in the transformer industry before transitioning to a lecturer at a prestigious private university. However, his demanding schedule, sedentary lifestyle, and poor dietary habits resulted in significant weight gain and several lifestyle-related disorders, including fatty liver, constipation, depression, and anxiety. Despite numerous attempts to lose weight through various methods such as lime water, walking, running, and dieting, he struggled with low energy and self-esteem.

In 2017, his  life took a transformative turn when he met a health coach who guided him toward healthier eating habits, better nutrition, and a structured workout regimen. Under this guidance, he lost 18 kilos in seven months, experiencing a dramatic boost in energy and overall well-being. This personal transformation inspired  to delve deeper into the fields of nutrition and fitness. He pursued certifications from renowned institutions like Welji Institute, American Society of Nutrition, Stanford University Online, National Fitness & Nutrition Academy, Gold Gym Fitness Institute, and Bodhi Yoga Training Academy.

In 2018, driven by his desire to share the benefits of an active lifestyle, he founded the Active Lifestyle Club. This initiative quickly gained traction, and he  built a dedicated team of coaches who have since helped hundreds of individuals improve their health and mindset by reversing lifestyle disorders. The club’s major services include lifestyle coaching, weight management, nutrition awareness, exercise, yoga, and meditation. Active Lifestyle aligns with various government programs such as Fit India, Skill India, Women Empowerment, and Digital India, reflecting his commitment to broader societal well-being.
