How does the Active Hub platform support your physical movement?

Joining The Active Hub platform helped keep me motivated and it was useful to keep track of my progress.

How has participating in team events helped increase your engagement with other colleagues?

I enjoyed joining the challenge with a team of colleagues, we kept each other motivated and excited about reaching our goals. We shared photos and stories about what we were doing to keep active, and we got to know each other a little better.

Has having the Active Hub in place via your employer enabled you to lead a more active lifestyle?

Absolutely. I was surprised to notice how sedentary my life is most of the week. Having my team encouraging me and counting on me made me change my lifestyle towards a more active one. I realised an easy and time efficient way to be more active was to walk to work every day it only takes me 10 more minutes than taking the bus and it makes a huge difference to start the days with a nice walk

I want to be stronger and healthier so I’m now cycling to the office. I have only done it 3 times so far, but the goal is to do it every day.
