The founder story

Built from the floor up — literally

In early 2026, I found myself largely housebound due to a serious health situation. Every app I tried assumed I could run, cycle, or get to a gym. None of them met me where I was — on a slow walk around the living room, trying to feel human again.

"I didn't need a fitness tracker. I needed something that believed a short walk was worth celebrating."

MoveReward™ was built for that version of me — and for the millions of people who standard fitness apps consistently fail to reach, retain, or reward.

The market gap

27% of UK adults are physically inactive

That's 14 million people. They are not lazy — they are underserved. Standard fitness apps are built for people who are already active. Recovery, mental health, chronic illness, and low-confidence users are invisible to the existing market.

MoveReward™ is the first app designed from the ground up for this population — with a reward model that makes even a 5-minute walk feel genuinely worth it.

The opportunity

A £1.4B problem with no good solution

The problem

Why existing apps fail the inactive

  • Gamification without real-world value
  • GPS dependency excludes indoor, housebound users
  • No recovery mode for people restarting movement
  • Competitive mechanics punish low activity
  • No clinical pathway to GP or physio
  • Proprietary tokens — not real money
The MoveReward™ solution
