BE ACTIV – FAQ

February 1, 2018 by Maika Janat-Vennemann Leave a Comment

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.

THE PRODUCT

The product is a brand new, high-end mobile fitness trailer. Basically, a mobile gym for all levels and different work out categories. No matter if it is a PT class at a school, a H.I.T after work cross fit outfit in your companies parking spot or an easy-going yoga class in the park, BE ACTIV is the right answer for you.

You see what I see? Can’t believe my friend and You see what I see? Can’t believe my friend and I got to enjoy sunshine & spring vibes on our run this morning - while the snow is still melting! It felt so good & I can’t wait for more of this weather hopefully come soon! #hellospring #goodvibes #sunshine #runningismytherapy #saturdaymood
It’s been more than 365 days in the same bed & m It’s been more than 365 days in the same bed & most days surrounded by this store owner in the back and her little sister but nonetheless it feels like our love is stronger than ever (in my opinion 🤣) ...we even celebrated love day (as daniel tiger calls it 😂).
.
.
.
All that said, we are beyond grateful for us and our little universe, but hey world - we think we could also handle some date nights, getaways & work travel sometime soon again as well #covidarewedoneyet ?

And before you realize you are almost halfway thro And before you realize you are almost halfway through the month I like the least. 
.
That’s why I also picked this quote for February. 
.
.
And maybe it helped me, too because so far February hasn’t been so bad. We filled it with an impromptu birthday party, superbowl, snowdays and Amy’s phenomal start at daycare #sheistrooperlikehersis. 
.
And it also reminds me to always be a little kinder to myself. To say more yes than no, to live in the moment and less by the schedule and alter between a glass of wine and a late night peloton ride. And to embrace a snowday 😃.

And just like that our time in Germany was over a And just like that our time in Germany was  over and we found ourselves on the plane back to PDX again!
What looks so pretty from above, wasn’t so sunny on the ground, rather cold.
What looks so peaceful from the  sky, felt like a country that is about to loose its patience & energy in the continued lockdown, filled so much anxiousness, sadness & frustration caused by the ongoing pandemic. 
.
But as always things look bright on the horizon since people are getting vaccinated & spring will come for sure! 
.
All that said we are thankful that we got to see & to spend with our families which isn’t a given in times like these. We can’t wait to be back sometime later this year when things will feel more lighter again!
.
And Hello PDX, here is to 2021 and better times! They will come for sure and till then we’ll enjoy the little things & count our blessings.  #itsallgood! #hello2021 #wearyourmask

This is not how I see our America. 
It is unbelievable. Or not? Are we surprised? Or wasn’t that to be expected? These were all white people, what if there were black? Are we living in 2021 or somewhere in the middle age? And what about the pandemic?

A lot of unanswered questions and unforgettable scenes. A lot of work to do.

But at least - thank you Georgia. You showed up. You were able to see & hopefully  this result & the two seats will be one little step to be able to make things better in the future and to be able to protect our democracy.

Always (a little) tired, always (at least) one chi Always (a little) tired, always (at least) one child with us, (almost) always together and outside....sounds like our 2020. 
.
.
The kids took all our extra time (due to less work) this year and filled our worries, doubts, insecurities and challenges with their joy, their optimism & simply their lives. 
.
.
Thanks to 2020 for making us better parents, for gifting us with all this extra family time, for taking any filters off and being pure - good & bad days included. 
.
.
.
And here is to 2021 and hopefully a great mix of the old & new normal: a mix of the home office world & the travel for work luxury, a mix of family adventures & times with good friends, a mix of family pizza parties & parents date nights, a mix of taking care of each other & letting grow, a mix of being together while doing things alone. And mix of celebrating our love & friendship.
.
.
.
Thanks to the love of my life for doing all the things we do to make our life like it is: simply GOOD.

We made it to Germany and it is for sure our bigge We made it to Germany and it is for sure our biggest christmas gift. The girls did awesome on the plane and the @lufthansa crew was a big reason for it because they were extra kind and treated us Firstclass.

Their service and their kindness was a good reminder to what always counts and even more in our current times: Always try to be a little kinder!

Letting @llovely01 put a mural on our garage wall Letting @llovely01 put a mural on our garage wall was one of the best ideas I had this year. Bright colors, beautiful art & a good quote. It makes me so happy every time we pass it and it’s definitely one of the main reasons why we mainly use our back entrance 💛.
