About the GetActive.ie Website

GetActive.ie is a comprehensive online community. It is a social networking site with a specific purpose. Our focus is to bring together activity providers, the health and fitness community and the general public to exchange information and ideas. Our members include gyms, dance instructors, sports coaches and health and fitness professionals, however essentially anyone can become a member of GetActive.

Members can post activities and events as well as participate in the community forum. If you don’t find what you’re looking for you can post up the activity you would like to participate in and let the activity providers find you through our activity seekers section. Members can create and manage your own forum and drive debate on a range of topics. You can also create your own news articles and submit them to the community news. All of these features are absolutely free!

Why use GetActive.ie?

We are steadfast in our conviction that people’s lives are more content and fulfilled when they are involved in activities that exhilarate their body and mind.  Most of us are aware of the alarm bells going off around us - the exponential increase in obesity in western society, the rise in cardiovascular health conditions and the increasing diabetes epidemic. But knowing these things isn’t enough. GetActive.ie is not a web site that patronises people by telling them what they should be doing because lets face it, most people know themselves. Here at GetActive.ie we understand that the fear of a potentially negative future is not as motivating as the possibility of a glorious energy filled present!  We want you to get active and have fun. There is a fun and motivating activity out there for everyone so don’t stop until you find yours!

We want to help people get back to looking at exercise as a gift rather than a chore, as an amazingly enjoyable experience and a great addition to their lives rather than a daunting task to achieve a certain fitness or optimal weight/figure and your organisation could have exactly what someone is looking for.  The real benefit that will come from registering your organisation is that you will be providing people with the opportunity to find what they are looking for.  Without registered organisations our dream of an active Ireland cannot become reality.  We are urging you to use GetActive as a means for you to communicate to your members/students, the nation and the world.

Why Register as an Individual

Do you remember how much fun it was when you were a child to just go out and play? You didn’t care about what was happening in the latest soap, or that your dinner was going to get cold or if you weren’t in your coolest gear to go outside! You just went out and played because you loved living your life and having fun! That is what we want to help you find again by using GetActive.  There is something out there for everyone.  No matter what shape your in, no matter how long its been since you’ve got involved in something or no matter what anybody tries to tell you!  There are literally thousands of clubs and organisations throughout the country ranging from hundreds of different activities that cater for every age and fitness level.  Your ideal activity is out there waiting for you!

We want you to get back to looking at exercise as a gift rather than a chore, as an amazingly enjoyable experience and a great addition to your life rather than a daunting task to achieve a certain fitness or optimal weight/figure.  For a lot of people exercise has become something they know they should do but somewhere along the line they have forgotten how much fun it can be.  Maybe you didn’t like any main stream sports and it was too difficult to try and find something a bit more obscure, or maybe you got a bad injury that has prevented you from playing something you loved so you have yet to try something you can get involved in now, or maybe you have a phobia of exercise because your P.E teacher was like the drill sergeant from ‘Full Metal Jacket’!  Whatever the reason is what’s important is that it’s in the past.  We are giving you the opportunity to go and find something that will give you more energy, increase your life expectancy and most important of all….. you’ll love it!

We are extremely aware that it can be difficult to find the activity you want to get involved in and that the frustration of this can lead people to believe that finding the activity they truly want is an impossible task.  That’s why we have created a whole community and collected an extensive database which is dedicated to helping the people of Ireland make exercise one of the most rewarding and enjoyable parts of their lives again!  We have done our upmost to develop something that will activate the country to a state of massive activity participation and fitness awareness.  As we continue to strive to provide the best service possible we are inviting you, the people of Ireland, to answer our call and create fitter, healthier and happier lives for yourselves by Getting Active! 

To show how serious we are about getting Ireland active we have made site membership completely free…. FOREVER! So what are you waiting for? Join the ‘Active Revolution’ and begin the process of creating your energy filled life today! That’s right ladies and gentlemen… the time has come to GetActve!
