Altilife

Our vision is to empower our clients to improve their lifestyle, health and wellbeing.

Altilife was started through a life changing journey undertaken by its founder, Christian Schwaerzler.  A self-professed couch potato, he reassessed his unhealthy lifestyle and made a powerful choice to change it! Through his journey of losing 60 kilograms, he reclaimed his wellbeing, fitness and health.

Despite a demanding corporate job with tight deadlines and lots of travel, Christian developed his own way to reach his goals. No boot camps, no personal trainers, no fancy pills, no fad diets, no special shakes, just plain hard work, belief and passion.

Our holistic approach is through mentoring, to encourage and guide you to make healthy life choices that encompass all aspects of your daily living, understanding your busy lifestyle. Our methodology is a unique in the wellness and lifestyle industry.

Our process can take the form of individual mentoring, group workshops and seminars and full immersion retreats. Altilife supports this with online content and webinars. To compliment this, we can offer specifically and uniquely tailored training, nutrition and fitness programmes designed to be fun and fit in with your busy lives.

ALTILIFE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Christian.
On 25th March 2012, I achieved a personal goal of completing my first Ironman triathlon in Melbourne.

Looking back, in 2007 I was 135kg. I ate and drank far too much! I did not like myself very much. I lacked energy and self-confidence, along with major health issues as a result of my poor diet and fitness.

I was challenged to compete in my 1st corporate mini-triathlon. I made a choice to take action and improved my lifestyle, by changing my mindset and health. As a consequence in February 2008, despite some setbacks, I managed to finish the race. Exhausted, but inspired I did my next race only 3 weeks later!
Since that time, I have completed a variety of Sprint, Olympic & 1/2 iron distance races and crossing the finish line of the inaugural Melbourne Ironman.
Not only did I lose 50kg in 18 months, as well as improve my health and fitness, I also learned to really like myself. I became a more positive person to be around, full of energy and enjoying my new lifestyle. By choosing to focus on improving myself, I became a better me; a person of more defined purpose.

If I can do it, anyone can do it! Now I have lost 60kg, completed my 7th Ironman and many other events, at the same time working to raise money for charity and focusing on others. My mission is to help, guide and empower others to make positive choices and lasting change in their lives. I have started my own lifestyle and fitness company, Altilife, where we are dedicated to improving people’s lives in lifestyle, health and wellbeing through positive mindset.
Change through choice

My life, my choice.
