Social enterprise platform Move8.org announces the launch of its 2024/2025 campaign advocating for Sports and Fitness Equity, cutting down barriers of entry to sports, fitness and wellness programs.
Incubated at GIG: GoInternationalGroup.com innovation labs, Move8 works with community groups throughout Asia Pacific to run programs that are inclusive to women, seniors and youth communities, with a focus on ensuring persons with disabilities (PWDs), B40s, refugees, stateless and vulnerable persons are not left behind.
“Optimum health and wellness are a basic human right and must be available to all layers of society,” said Jasmine Low and Nikki Yeo, co-creator duo of the Move8 Method of Wellness, an eight-step method to living life to the full.
“What’s truly exciting is the notion that anybody can move. With that premise, we will take the easy steps first and walking is a slow and steady way to get started,” said Jasmine.
The team has been busy preparing for the second year of the Move8 VR Walk-a-Hunt in Sydney and Kuala Lumpur. We will bring participants on a 360-degree VR video tour along the two cities, while unraveling cultural stories along the way when a clue is solved.

In 2018, we embarked upon a series of podcasts titled, Move8 Fit for Good. Co-hosts Jasmine Low and her fitness coach Nikki Yeo created this show to showcase people who are Fit for Good – a tagline they coined for those who use their fitness and strength for the good of others. In this episode, we meet Ryan Hogan, CEO of Les Mills Asia Pacific who is pursuing a mission for a fitter, healthier planet! Originally from Canada, Ryan has been spearheading the fitness industry for the last two decades and one of his best-known work is at FILEX – THE largest leading Fitness Education Event. He oversees Les Mills in over 14 countries from Canberra, Australia to Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Maldives, Guam and Papua New Guinea. — How it all began: An Olympian and Commonwealth Games athlete by the name of Les Mills set up a gym in Auckland, New Zealand 50 years ago in 1968. It took 30 years of gym building, an innovative pre-choreographed barbell workout known as BODYPUMP® and the vision of an entrepreneur named Bill Robertson from Canberra to revolutionise the fitness industry with BODYPUMP® making it the world’s most famous group exercise class. Then came Les Mills Asia Pacific and Les Mills International, and today, a business that licenses 20 different programs to over 21,000 clubs in over 110 countries with over 140,000 accredited Instructors delivering group workouts to over 7 million people each week.
Why just be fit when you can be fit for good. Is there someone you could journey with? Walk with? Take a drive with?
