Who are we?
Our Mission
We believe everyone needs a coach in their corner when they step into the arena of fitness and health. However, we are aware that elite style stretches, massage, and training can come at a heavy cost. We have formulated a way where “small group” settings can still provide value and attentiveness from a coach. We will focus on delivering excellence in our services before prioritizing shiny new equipment.
Lastly, we strive to find a balance between good business practices and an ethical work environment. We believe every human being working for Motivity deserves a livable wage or better. We strive to maintain a healthy work-life balance for our employees. We are aiming to grow as a “profit for the people” first, before seeking profit for the business.
“We have dreamt of a life of success, that doesn’t require us to advance at the cost of placing our boots on someone else’s neck.”
“The story of the hummingbird is about this huge forest being consumed by a fire. All the animals in the forest come out and they are transfixed as they watch the forest burning and they feel very overwhelmed, very powerless, except this little hummingbird.
It says, ‘I’m going to do something about the fire!’
So it flies to the nearest stream and takes a drop of water. It puts it on the fire, and goes up and down, up and down, up and down, as fast as it can. In the meantime all the other animals, much bigger animals—like the elephant with a big trunk that could bring much more water—they are standing there helpless.
And they are saying to the hummingbird, ‘What do you think you can do? You are too little. This fire is too big. Your wings are too little and your beak is so small that you can only bring a small drop of water at a time.’
But as they continue to discourage it, it turns to them without wasting any time and it tells them ‘I am doing the best I can.’“
When starting your fitness journey, it can feel intimidating and overwhelming. Similar to the small hummingbird who does the best they can to put out the large fire, we believe at Motivity that all our clients should try their best, whatever that may look like. Even when starting with something as life-changing as committing to their health.
Be like a hummingbird. It isn’t about what or where you are, it’s about the effort you put into it.
Our Values
Fair Trade
The fair trade movement shares a vision of a world in which justice and sustainable development are at the heart of trade structures and practices, both at home and abroad, so that everyone through their work can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood.
Ikigai
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your ‘reason for being. ‘ ‘Iki’ in Japanese means ‘life,’ and ‘gai’ describes value or worth. Your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It’s what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day.
Happy Hormones
We’re keeping a high frequency vibration. Play and exercise can give you that “runners high” known in athletes. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. Let’s bump up the production of your brain’s feel-good neurotransmitters!
Connectivity
We would like to develop a relationship with everyone we work with, and if we can’t then we’ll recommend you somewhere better for you. Through a sincere bond we can serve you better.
Keeping It Local
It’s important to us to help the community grow with our peers and local entrepreneurs and find new ways of cooperating with other local businesses.
Being of Service
To be of service is to become bigger than the way we normally see ourselves. Our attention shifts. We set aside our preoccupation with ourselves and turn our focus outwards, towards others. We will do our best or recommend what might work better for you.
