ActiveOrbit

Active Orbit is a fun and easy to use tracking app that monitors your minutes or activity - walking, running, cycling - and awards you Orbits which convert to Orbit Rewards. You can redeem your Orbit Rewards via the app for discounts, special offers and free gifts in exchange for your “heart minutes” of activity.

It is currently only available to individuals as part of an employer subscription or via our regional sports charity partners.

One Orbit is earned every 10 minutes of brisk walking.
10 Orbits will earn you an Orbit Reward!
Search the app to see where you redeem your Orbit Reward - with shops, businesses and clubs near where you live (support local businesses) or with our national brand partners.

The Active Orbit app relies on your phone’s inbuilt sensors to measure your daily activity, so its accuracy may vary depending on the make/model and age of your device. To improve the accuracy keep your phone in a pocket close to you body rather than in your bag or a loose coat pocket. You will be prompted to consent to allowing the app to monitor your movement and location for better accuracy and verification of your activity. We welcome your feedback as we will be improving and adding to the features of our app continuously in the months ahead - email us support@activeorbit.co.uk we love to hear from our Orbiteers!

This app provides the Wear OS version and you can install it on your Android watch! The wear app allows you to track your daily move and heart minutes progress and the amount of orbits achieved.
