How do you like to keep active? What activities do you enjoy the most?

I really like to mix it up as much as possible! I’m a member of my local Leisure Centre so I do classes there when I can with my favourites being spin and Body Pump. I’m also using the gym a bit more, particularly indoor cycling to help me fulfil the 100km challenges on Active Hub. When I can’t get out of the house I’ll exercise at home, usually a Body Coach workout, and my 3 year old daughter often likes to have a go at these with me too which I love.

Why do you feel it is important to lead a physically active lifestyle?

There are the obvious health benefits of moving more to keep fit but for me it’s also about dedicating time to myself for mental wellbeing. I had a minor surgery recently earlier this year and couldn’t exercise for a couple of weeks and I really noticed a difference in my stress levels.

How does the Active Hub platform support your physical movement?

It really motivates me to exercise every day. I feel accountable to those workouts being logged in the app and being used towards a team or individual event.

What event on the Active Hub have you enjoyed the most?

I liked the recent Movement Hour event. The other events all motivate me to move, but it’s rare I do an hour of dedicated exercise so that pushed me to do more than I usually would.

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

It’s given us something other than work to communicate about which is great.

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

Definitely! I don’t think I’ve ever needed my employer’s permission to get out of the office and go for a walk, for example, but having Active Hub really says that it is ok to do that.

What is your 2025 active goal?

Continue to move everyday and get my daughter involved more when I can.

Active Hub gives me the motivation I didn’t know I needed. My daily activity has increased so much since I started using it and I feel great for it.
