Redefining an *athlete.

Redefining an *athlete.

If you move, you’re an athlete.  It is simple as that and the ethos of Aktiv is to encourage, support and discover new ways to move.  We have all started at zero, and that journey from zero to one can be daunting.  Our belief is that zero to one can feel much more enjoyable and approachable when you can see others who have done the same.  Maybe they are on level six, or even level ten, but irrespective of their perceived status they once also started at zero.  This is not a hero’s journey, or a space for the elite, we built this to be the last frontier of the human experience and movement. 

Aktiv once was at zero, then we kept pushing to bring more value to those who saw a future in the investment you can make in yourself.  Our goal is to build a community for every activity that can be tracked on a wearable.  No easy feat and surely not to be done overnight.  But with the same persistence and effort that you put into your goal to get from 2,000 steps a day to maybe running your first mile, we want to bring to life a community and movement that is genuinely value add for anyone who wants to move. 

If you’re someone who currently isn’t in the movement space, we would love to learn from you about what we are missing to help get you to a place where you see some value you in it.  Time and mortality are two constructs we are all bound to, and we would love to see you spend yours with others who lift you up and expand your unique human experiences.  Our world is not meant to be viewed through screens and living vicariously through others is selling yourself short of experiences you can attain with others around you.

An Aktiv *Athlete is someone who moves and does so with the intent to cheer others on and the curiosity to try something new.  Time is precious, thank you for sharing yours with us and others here on this journey.
