What is Motiv8?

Motiv8 is a health, wellbeing, and physical activity project provided by Wirral Mind and in partnership with Merseyside Sports Partnership, Core Movement Studio, Hybrid Gym, The White Tiger Taiji School, Padel Republic and Play Point Sports. 

Motiv8 aims to help people find the physical activity that is right for them, so they are able to enjoy the physical, social and mental benefits of being active.

What is physical activity?

Being physically active means sitting down less and moving our bodies more.

Physical activity doesn’t have to mean running marathons or training every day at the gym. Motiv8 offers an exciting mix of classes and activities in a supportive, friendly and judgement free environment.

How can physical activity help my mental health?

There are many studies which have shown that doing physical activity can improve mental health. For example, it can help with:

  • Better sleep
  • Increased energy
  • Managing stress
  • Improve mood
  • Connecting with people
  • Better self-esteem
