From the Manufacturer
The Future of Fitness
Activ5 is a portable workout device and mobile app that coaches you through low impact, isometric based workouts in as little as 5 minutes per day. With over 100 five-minute workouts, Activ5 exercises are fast and fun, and designed to keep you active throughout the day. Activ5 is uniquely customizable to every user’s strength level. Activ5 will deliver increased muscle strength and provide full body toning from both sitting and standing positions, while also tracking your results.
Exercise Anywhere
Isometric exercise has been practiced for over 5,000 years and is the strength building foundation of both yoga and Pilates. What distinguishes isometrics from other forms of muscle exercise is you tense your muscles against a static object (such as the floor) or against other muscles, so your joints are static, but your muscles are working. Because Activ5 isometric exercises are discrete and static, you can perform them at your desk, while watching TV, or on a plane, making powerful workouts available to you anytime, anywhere as part of a healthier lifestyle.
Portable Device
Activ5 is a 'Tiny Gym in Your Pocket' that effectively tones and strengthens muscles. Activ5 has a durable design that measures more than 200 lbs of force and has proven to increase strength by an average of 30% over 6 weeks through short, five-minute workouts a few times a day.
Coaching App
Available on iOS and Android operating systems, the Activ5 Companion App features more than 100 seated, standing and advanced fast and fun low-impact workouts, enabling users of any age and fitness level to achieve the benefits of strength training with ease.
Workouts & Games
The Activ5 App personalizes over 100 workouts to each user’s fitness level, tracks progress and allows users to exercise while playing games such as Elude, Creep, Jump, Polygon Swap, Rocko Jump, and Color Dash, designed by independent gaming studios.
Fitness For Everyone
Activbody aspires to make the world healthier with fitness and health technologies designed to make exercise fun and convenient. Its cornerstone product, Activ5, allows almost anyone at any fitness level to exercise virtually anywhere through five-minute full body workouts, all while tracking, guiding and entertaining them.
About the Startup
Describe your product in 3 words.
Exercise Anywhere Device!
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
Activbody was born out of founder Dr. Kosta Yanev’s desire to create fitness solutions that could help him integrate regular exercise into his life. The demands of work, family and travel made it difficult for Kosta to regularly attend a gym, and the fitness products he tried weren’t truly portable or flexible, so Kosta invented the Activ5, a pocket sized smart device that enables you to get a full body muscle workout anywhere in just a few minutes. Today, Activbody is “actively” growing to share Activ5 with the world, with team members in Southern California, Bulgaria, London and Paris.
What makes your product special?
Activ5 has proven to deliver an average strength increase of 30% over 6 weeks exercising just 15 minutes per day. Activ5 enables users to do quick burst, 5 minute isometrics based workouts. Isometrics are a type of low-impact strength training where the angle of the joints and muscle length do not change during contraction – for example a plank. Scientific research has shown that isometric exercise is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to build strength, accelerate fat burning and tone the body. Studies show the benefits of isometrics for a healthier lifestyle include: increased energy and endurance, reducing the risks of high blood pressure, assisting with weight loss as well as bad habit relief (such as smoking), among others.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
The best part of launching Activ5 has been experiencing the reactions and results from users. We commissioned a third party study to track the results of Activ5. Over 6 weeks users increased muscle strength by an average of 30% and top performing users lost inches off their waist and lost a meaningful amount of weight, most of which was pure body fat. It’s one thing to read academic and medical studies on the benefits of isometrics, and experience results among the team, but when you listen to consumers discuss how your product has made their lives better, it’s truly satisfying.
