I help run imin, where we use open data to help people to live healthier, more active lives.

[Sport Birmingham @SportBirmingham]

We are working with @_imin_ and @ODIHQ to bring an open data system to #Birmingham to improve the customer journey for searching and booking local activities!

@CollectPlus looked up nearest collectplus to return @ASOS order, website said Esso on new Kent road, walk in with package and they tell me (bluntly) they no longer accept collectplus returns. Website still says they do. What gives? Disappointed 🤬🧐

@_imin_ teamed up with the amazing @DataHubClub to analyse thousands of memberships to answer the question: Are corporate gym memberships the best way to get your workforce more active? (SPOILER: Yes, if you only want to serve 5.4% of your employees) https://t.co/UduRTxLdg8

@AndyJDavies Hi! A couple of people have pointed us in your direction to see if we can help Parasport to get more people active. Drop me a DM if you're keen to discuss more! #openactive

[Nishal Desai @that_nish]

@SaltmillPitch @andyreed DM me @SaltmillPitch , I'd be delighted to see how we can help.

[Nishal Desai @that_nish]

The health secretary is asking employers to support workers to be more active. But we must go beyond corporate gym memberships, which work well for the few, but not the many. At @_imin_ , we believe the future lies in giving employees the power of choice. https://t.co/8SmBENZBjG

4 yrs ago, we started @_imin_ in order to get people active. We then realised the sector needed change, so we created @openactiveio. Today we’ve reached another epic milestone. With @LegendWare help, this will go beyond the UK to their customers globally. Legend are in, are you?

#Fitness #aggregators: friend, foe or frenemy? Will they lead to the demise of operators, or will they play a key role in getting people active?
@_imin_'s view from the middle(ware): "Are fitness aggregators creating value, or just taking some of yours?" https://t.co/ndf2KV3UYo

[Kate Cracknell @HealthClubKate]

"Open data is going to happen. The only question is whether you're going to come along with it or not. If you don't, you'll be exactly in the same place you are now in 12 months' time" @emmaboggis @elevatearena @JadeMoulden

[Sport England @Sport_England]

We believe making sport and activity data more accessible can help build an #ActiveNation.

Here's how ➡ https://t.co/WOMUGZEjpI
