Surf Life Active is a social community that promotes a healthy fun life in Australia. It is a movement that supports and promotes healthy activities, healthy eating and most importantly a healthy state of mind. Key objectives include: enabling people to make true friends, achieve life long goals and share achievements whilst having fun on the way.

History

This movement was founded in 2012 and is backed and supported by one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted brands: Surf Life Saving Australia. Surf Life Active is a trading name owned and operated under license by Surf Life Saving Australia by IFit Bondi Pty Ltd, which is a privately owned health and fitness company.

Philosophies

Surf Life Active believes that every Australian deserves a little help to get back on top, lose a little weight, stay healthy or just investigate what options are out there for exercising. Surf Life Active aims to address Australian health issues such as obesity and well-being.

Surf Life Active has three philosophies to assist people to get and stay healthy.

MOTIVATION, VARIATION and COST

Motivation

Surf Life Active states that if people are given the right motivation they can turn things around. Surf Life Active has created an online and socially connected health and fitness network. One that assesses each person who joins to provide them with their own personalized diet, fitness and motivation program.

It promotes the value of fitness “buddies”. Members receive daily motivational chat to keep them going if they choose to work out alone. The key goal is to connect them with another fitness buddy in their area, one who has similar goals and motivations and fitness levels. Once somebody has a “health” partner then they have a sense of responsibility to someone else. Their motivation to not let their health buddy down is increased and the likelihood they can succeed increases.

Variation

Surf Life Active believes that if you do the same thing over and over on a regular basis you will get bored. Exercise is no different and if exercise in the same location you will ultimately grow tired and potentially discontinue your training. Surf life Active provides training programs that vary the members exercise options including: swimming, walking, trail running, yoga, cross-fit, aerobics, weight training soft sand running and pilates (to just name a few). The programs aim to provide members with training on a daily basis for two weeks so that our members will only do the same exercise twice per month.

Cost

Surf Life Active aims to provide Australians with access to Free Health and Fitness, promoting that every Australian should help someone that is looking for a leg up not a hand out.
