ActiveOrbit

Earn rewards for all your daily walking

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.

Key Features:

• We help you to create new, healthier habits around activity by incentivising you to move more through the day
• The app will encourage and support you to get outdoors for brisk walking every day, with simple nudges and notifications
• You can set your daily targets via the app, building up your active minutes over time
• Frequent rewards to keep you motivated and inspired to move

• Use the app to search for reward partners to redeem your Orbit Rewards.
• Be part of our Orbiteer community, and discover hints and tips for a healthier lifestyle

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!
