DIY Active (formerly Always Active Athletics) is a Missouri-based fitness and wellness website founded in 2011. Its focus is on providing scientifically-backed health and wellness research free-of-charge. Its stated goal is to eliminate the need of traditional gym memberships for those who lack the time to use them.

Much of the company’s media relies on data-driven fitness initiatives, such as the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) model.

Onalytica rated DIY Active at number 10 on its list of “Top 100 Influencers and Brands” in the health fitness category.
