Activ8rlives Provides New Financial Incentives for Being Consistently Active

HUNTINGDON, U.K. - June 26, 2013 - PRLog -- June 24, 2013, Activ8rlives, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, UK: Activ8rlives announces a novel motivational programme for its users, utilising its integrated medals system, to reward being consistently active.
It is not always easy for busy people to be active and most people have to work at it, if you are physically activity every day, the boost to your health and wellbeing is significant.  

Activ8rlives is an integrated health and wellness solution in which its users self monitor numerous key indicators of health (weight, body composition, cardiovascular and lung function, blood glucose, blood pressure and many other parameters including levels of physical activity).

If we want to, we can share our data with our GPs in a simple to implement remote monitoring solution. Being physically active every day is probably the best treatment our doctors can prescribe for us, but we never get a reward for taking care of ourselves – until now!

Physical activity levels are easily tracked using the Activ8rlive’s Buddy step counter – a simple gadget which is worn on any part of the body and that measures how active we are throughout the day. It is a way of keeping track of how much energy we use doing every day things: housework, walking to school or work, gardening, washing the car, taking the stairs rather than the lift and anything which helps us squeeze in small activity breaks throughout the day. The Buddy acts as a witness to all of non-sporting activity and motivates us to do a bit more without going to the gym. It also reassures us that we have reached our personal activity quota for the day. Simple - but life transforming!

The data from the Buddy can be uploaded to the user’s free personal account on Activ8rlives.com and progress can be tracked on free Smartphone Apps. Data is stored, managed and displayed allowing the user to gain new insights about activity, health and wellness.

With each day of 10,000 steps, points are earned towards reward medals. When the user reaches a Silver Medal, which can be earned in just 35 days, they qualify for their first discount on any new Activ8rlives products purchased for friends, family or colleagues – or themselves. Further discounts are earned for each Silver Medal. A discount of up to 30% can be earned for those who have achieved their Gold Medal (earned by achieving 175 days of 10,000 steps). This is on top of any offers made on the Company’s website from time to time.

Users with Silver and Gold status also have access to their own dedicated groups with priority technical support and early access to new technologies, beta programmes and requests for new features to meet their requirements.

Founder (and Gold Medal holder) Kevin Auton said “As Activ8rlives continues to attract an ever growing community of users, we wanted to demonstrate ways to acknowledge and reward the high levels of dedication it takes to the make permanent changes in lifestyle we all aspire to.

If you have ever tried doing 10,000 steps per day, every day for a month for example (as we do as a personal challenge in some of our groups), it is actually really tough when you are juggling family, work and personal lives.

If that is a challenge, try doing it for six months.

By being moderately active, even if we are not into sports, the health benefits are significant and our sense of wellbeing increases quickly. So we wanted to reward those who are helping themselves to stay well by being habitually active.

Giving steep discounts on our growing range of self monitoring devices and accessories to those who have worked hard, is our way of acknowledging this commitment.”

Kevin went on further to say: “Our users are the best teachers of the Activ8rlives technique for lifestyle transformation – they are literally walking their talk every day and telling others about the benefits of being active. Making a gift of a Buddy step counter to their friends and family and then walking alongside them to encourage and motivate them, is a practical expression of their support for those they care about. Showing others how to adopt a healthy lifestyle in a way that it can be fitted around our busy lives, is one of the best gifts you can give to another.”
