For companies
Short, guided movement sessions right at the workplace: in everyday clothes, no changing, no clocking out. One device, 20 exercises, one square metre.
be2move is a training device for companies that lets employees get active in between tasks, without a changing room, fitness room or class schedule. One device with 20 guided exercises for the back, shoulders and hips stands on one square metre right where people work. be2move is not a medical device and does not replace therapy; it serves to prevent, maintain and improve mobility.
The problem
Long hours of sitting and lack of movement are part of everyday working life in offices and production. Back and joint complaints are among the most common reasons for sick days. Many companies have programmes to counter this, but only a few people use them.
Back and joint complaints are a frequent reason for sick notes. Every day off costs cover, rescheduling and nerves in the team.
Programmes that require changing, travel or a fixed appointment fizzle out. The calendar is full, motivation after work is low.
A dedicated fitness room needs floor space, supervision and upkeep. Most companies simply do not have the room for it.
No hurdles
be2move removes the hurdles. The device stands on one square metre in the corridor, the break room or next to the coffee machine. Anyone passing by does two or three exercises in everyday clothes and moves on. No changing, no clocking out, no registration.
How the device guides the movement and trains muscle length is shown on the page about the device. Background on sitting and movement is in our guide (German).
Three steps
Nobody buys a device for the workplace without knowing whether it will be used. That is why we proceed in three steps.
The easiest way in. We set up be2move at your action day, employees try the exercises in a few minutes, in everyday clothes and without preparation. You see straight away how the device goes down.
One device for a trial period, for example three months of rental with a purchase option. That way you gain experience in real operation before you commit.
After the pilot the device stays, with a short instruction session for the contact person in-house. Further devices are added depending on site and demand.
Decision in-house
It usually starts with one person: HR or whoever looks after workplace health management sees the need and gathers information. The decision is made by the management, and depending on the company the works council and the occupational safety specialist have a say. So that you do not go into these conversations empty-handed, we give you the data sheet, the exercise chart and a worked example for the pilot. Much of it is already in the download area, and you can find out who is behind the device on About us.
Three facts that hold up in every meeting:
Usage data: whether and how you record how often the device is used is something to clarify with data protection and the works council beforehand. The device itself records no data and works without registration or evaluation.
Price and pilot
The list price is 9,500 euros, list price incl. VAT, including delivery and instruction. If you would rather not buy, lease it: around 180 euros per month, depending on term and leasing partner. For the pilot we arrange rental with a purchase option; we discuss the terms for that in person.
Worked example: one device at a leasing rate of around 180 euros per month costs around 9 euros a day over 20 working days. If it stands in the break room of a team of 30, that is 30 cents per person per working day.
Statutory health insurers subsidise accredited prevention courses, not the device. This distinction matters to us so that you do not promise anything internally that does not hold up later. All price details are on the device page.
To be honest
be2move is not the right choice if you are looking for a strength or cardio machine: there are no weights, no treadmill and no pulse on a display. It is not a medical device and not therapy. Anyone who wants to support employees after an injury or operation belongs in the hands of therapists who use the device under guidance.
And be2move depends on being visible and on someone in-house showing it. If it disappears into a locked room, it will be used as little as any other programme. Employees outside 160 to 200 cm body height or over 120 kg cannot use the device; talk this through with us beforehand.
One square metre is enough, a separate room is not needed. The device stands in the corridor, the break room or a free corner of the office, wherever employees pass by anyway. No building work is required. The only important thing is that the device is visible and the exercise chart hangs next to it, so that everyone can get started without an explanation.
Yes, and we even recommend it. The easiest way in is a health day, where we set up the device and your team tries it out in everyday clothes. After that a pilot is possible, for example three months of rental with a purchase option. That way you see in real operation whether and how often the device is used before you commit.
No. The six standing exercises work in everyday clothes, even in a suit or work trousers. Nobody has to clock out, book an appointment or go to a changing room. Anyone passing by does two or three exercises and moves on. The ten lying exercises are more intensive and better suited to a break.
Not the device itself. Statutory health insurers in Germany subsidise accredited prevention courses under Section 20 SGB V, not the purchase of a training device. We say this so clearly because we do not want to promise anything that does not hold up later. What is possible for tax purposes in your case is best clarified with your tax adviser.
To start with, one device in a highly visible spot is enough. How many it becomes after that depends on sites, shifts and demand. One device per building or floor is an obvious second step. The pilot shows you where the device is used and where it is not. After that you decide based on real experience rather than estimates.
