MoveGB, the UK’s largest activity membership, has been named within the top half of the Sunday Times Hiscox Tech Track 100 league table; celebrating Britain’s fastest-growing private technology, media and telecoms companies.
The service, which offers users unlimited access to more than 6,000 physical activity providers under one monthly membership, featured as a new entrant to the league table – the highest ranked private tech company from the South West of England and from the fitness sector, with an overall ranking of 39 with an annual sales growth of over 95 per cent.
Dubbed the ‘Netflix’ of the fitness industry, MoveGB was founded by serial tech entrepreneur and one of the world’s leading authorities on exercise behaviour, Alister Rollins, in 2011. Built upon extensive research that shows variety and flexibility is the secret to an active lifestyle, the platform is revolutionising the way that the nation moves, with more than 300,000 users gaining access to over 6,000 venues.
MoveGB’s significant annual sales growth rate of over 95 per cent was achieved from launching in just one UK city, Bristol, this has subsequently led to the brand’s recent expansion into London and further cities across the UK.
The company now holds the title of the UK’s largest activity membership platform. MoveGB has already been able to show that individuals who visit multiple venues to exercise are four times more likely to be active six months after joining than those who have a membership to one venue.
With access to thousands of fitness providers across all areas of mainstream and niche disciplines, the platform offers variety and freedom for all; the proven formula to long term commitment and health.
Alister Rollins, CEO and Founder of MoveGB said: “Our mission is to remove the barriers that prevent people from staying active. Being active should never feel like a chore, it is what we are designed to do and together with real world social connections has been proven to be the most important factors in having a long , healthy and happy life.
“We created MoveGB to provide the variety people need to have fun and stay active. Our aim is to continue to provide customers with the best activities and highest level of customer service to ensure they stay active for life.”
The vision? In a world increasingly dominated by huge digital businesses that promote static behaviours and virtual interactions, MoveGB is on a mission to build a unique platform driven by real-life social and experiential occasions, providing members with the daily freedom to live more energy-filled, passionate and exciting lives.
