The Story
From One Coach's Passion to a Community Movement
27+ years of experience. Established in 2013. One mission: helping people become more active, confident and connected.
My name is Matt Moore, and I’m the Owner and Head Coach of Motiv8 Sportingmannies.
For more than 27 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people across West London — from schools and colleges to gyms and community centres. Throughout that journey, one thing has remained constant: I’ve seen first-hand how sport and physical activity can change people’s lives.
I've seen children discover confidence through sport, young people develop skills and aspirations, adults transform their health and fitness, and families come together through shared experiences.
That’s what inspired me to create Motiv8.
Why I Started Motiv8
I established Motiv8 Sportingmannies in 2013 with a simple belief:
Everyone should have access to affordable, enjoyable and meaningful opportunities to be active.
Sport and fitness shouldn't be something that feels out of reach. They should be accessible to children, young people, adults, parents and families — regardless of age, ability or background.
Motiv8 was created to provide those opportunities while helping people develop much more than physical fitness.
We want people to build confidence, resilience, teamwork, skills and positive habits that can benefit every part of their lives.
More Than Sport
Over the years, Motiv8 has grown beyond simply delivering sports sessions.
Today, our work brings together Manning, Chaperoning, sport, fitness, wellbeing, family activities, education, employment and community development.
Because we believe being active can open doors.
- A child who gains confidence through sport may become more confident at school.
- A young person who develops leadership skills may discover a career they never considered.
- An adult who becomes more active may improve their health and wellbeing.
- A family who exercises together may build stronger relationships and create lasting memories.
That is what Motiv8 is about — creating opportunities for positive change.
More Childcare
Active Children. Happy Children. Confident Children.
We believe childcare should be about more than simply keeping children occupied.
Our activities combine care, movement, learning and fun, giving children opportunities to be active while developing important social and life skills.
Through structured sports, games and activities, children can:
- Build confidence
- Develop coordination and physical skills
- Learn teamwork
- Make new friends
- Discover new interests
- Develop healthy habits
- Have fun in a safe and supportive environment
And while your children are enjoying themselves, you can have confidence knowing they're being supported by experienced professionals.
Because active childhoods can help build healthier futures.
Fun, and Active Solutions for Families
Making Family Wellbeing a Shared Experience
We believe being healthy shouldn't feel like a chore.
That's why we're passionate about creating affordable and enjoyable opportunities for families to move, play, learn and have fun together.
Whether it's trying a new sport, taking part in an activity or simply spending quality time being active, we want to make it easier for families to build positive habits together.
Because wellbeing isn't just about what we do individually.
It's about the people we share our lives with.
Looking Ahead
The Motiv8 Journey Continues
What started in 2013 continues to grow.
Our vision is to reach more children, young people, adults and families across London, while creating new opportunities through sport, fitness, wellbeing, education and employment.
We're proud of where we've come from, but we're even more excited about where we're going.
The journey doesn't stop here.
