As the world goes digital, Mumbai entrepreneurs, Bhavik Mehta and Atish Chhabria sought out to seal the gaps in our fitness regime with their new and dynamic app – UACTIV (available on iOS and Android).
There’s something comforting about sitting behind your mobile phone and getting things done – whether it’s to shop online, place a food delivery order or buying movie tickets. The elimination of extra human interaction to coordinate events is convenient and appeals to most of us. By downloading UACTIV, organizing your fitness-orientated games/events/classes can be as easy as – click, click, click and done!
Combining hardcore sports/fitness with the merits of social networking, the app connects you with likeminded people in your community to organize fitness activities, (“Buddy Up”) and/or discover and participate in existing activities, (“Pick Up”). Earning discounts, special promotions and free products for being active is another exciting feature of the app, among others.
Having the UACTIV app gives you a good indication of what activities are available to you nearby and can urge you to do things you otherwise wouldn’t have. Whether it’s an hour of yoga, or a scenic hike, you can try something that might stick and it can in turn become life changing (when is fitness not?).
Whether you’re lazy or a complete fitness freak, having your friends by your side is always a nice way to motive yourself to work out. Further, there’s also the possibility of meeting new people who share the same passion as you, which could take your fitness regiment to a whole new level.
The app is beneficial to both, the trainer and the student, or even a group of friends organizing their biweekly football games. You can invite users, set a limit on the number of people, or have it open for all to attend.
From time to time, UACTIV (the company) have also organized activities such as, marathons, food and fitness workshops, and sporting tournaments. Some of the events we recommend for the next few weeks are:
