About
Our Mission
As the US healthcare system experiences a paradigm shift, we are all increasingly compelled to employ preventative measures in our approach to treating illnesses – namely by avoiding them in the first place!
Committed to optimizing the health and fitness of our clientele ranging from untrained beginners to elite athletes, Infinity Life™ approaches wellness in a different way than traditional exercise programs. Offering a universal delivery system using the key components of health, our programs are catered to maximize your success with unprecedented results.
Working directly with medical professionals to maximize their own patients' health and fitness potential, we operate as a powerful team -- using the best strategies that western medicine has to offer in creating the healthiest you.
Armed with new research and fascinating results, we are proud to share our knowledge and information with a global community of doctors and health care technicians – all of whom thoroughly understand the profound impact that proper nutrition and specialized exercise protocols can have on any individual's health and fitness.
Focusing on the uniqueness of every person, we are able to use the best tools to guide you to your ideal body, fitness potential, and inborn ability to prevent illness. With cutting-edge medical testing technology and other innovations in the delivery of exercise, our health professionals employ nutrition, fitness, and stress management techniques to find the most effective way to improve the quality of life for our clients.
Since individual needs determine the unique style of our program, we understand that not everyone requires a complete preventative health care system. In designing each program to individual specifications, every one of our clients receives a free consultation to determine his or her interests and requirements.
In contrast to the programs that disregard personal preference and focus on “up selling” services that clients have no need for, Infinity Life™ will listen to your concerns, and guide you to understand what your options are and how we can help. As such, YOU decide which services best fit YOUR needs!

Dr. Tiffany Gorman, Infinity Life Consulting Physician
“As humans, we are multifaceted. As a Family Physician I enjoy getting to know my patents and understanding the different aspects of their lives that make them unique individuals. Taking care of the whole family allows me to understand the dynamics of their lives that much better.
“Combining my passion for Family Medicine and Sports Medicine allows me to promote my philosophy of ‘Prevention is Key.’ You don't need to be a professional athlete to benefit from the positive aspects of physical activity.
“While I enjoy treating sports injuries, I also like the challenge of introducing exercise in to people's lives. Increasing your fitness translates into improved quality of life. When you are in shape, you tend to eat and sleep better and have decreased stress levels.”
