What is BE ACTIV?
BE ACTIV is a new, innovative fitness concept to get the world moving. The product to execute this concept is brand new, customized, high-end fitness trailer.
THE STORY
Born and raised in England and Germany the founder, James Montague and myself both grew up being members of sport clubs (soccer / track and field). It has shaped us tremendously. Besides the fact that we worked out and stayed fit, what was even more important was that we developed an unbeatable skill set that has always helped us to successfully conquer the challenges & mile stones in our lives. It has been down to these experiences, that we feel comfortable and energized navigating in the complex world we live in today.
Since we moved to the US we experienced a lot of new sports, activities and different ways to establish a social and professional network everybody needs. But we also realized that the world is moving less, that people are less active, actually sometimes even less social. We did a lot of research, read the statistics and realized that the digital world has taken over. People work out by themselves. They turn on an app that gets them moving. Or they just don’t work out and move at all. They feel they don’t have time, money or they are way to unfit to join a gym. That said, we felt we need to change that and need to find a way to get people moving.
We strongly believe in the power of sports and access through sport. We believe that people who work out together can be the better partners, friends, lovers, colleagues, leaders. We believe that working out in a community makes you a better person. It makes each and every one of us a giver.
That said we came up with a mobile fitness concept. A concept driven by people, passion and the joy of moving and getting to know people.
THE VISION
Our vision is to create a healthier, happier, more active community. We want to break down barriers that keep people from moving and getting out there. We want to break down to main barriers which are affordability and convenience.
THE MISSION
Our mission is to get communities moving. Block by Block. School by School. Park by Park.
Company by Company. We want to connect people through sports. Sweat is equal. We like to give back to the communities and every individual that gives and contributes to make the world a little bit more moving every day.
