From Asheville to Wilmington and almost everywhere in between, the Be Active Van has visited fairs, festivals, schools, sporting events and more. Since 2001, the brightly colored van has visited more than 500 community events and educated more than half a million people about the importance of daily physical activity. 

This fun-filled, event on wheels is equipped with a sound system, hula hoops, jump ropes, interactive games and activities to inspire kids and adults to be active and stay active. The Be Active Van also provides fitness assessments, including body fat analysis and cardiovascular testing, and the opportunity to join Be Active’s Movement for Motion.  Find a Be Active Van event near you. 

Along with providing active fun for both kids and adults, the Be Active Van staff will offer five fitness assessments, one corresponding to each of the five components of physical fitness. At Be Active Van events, assessments will be available for cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility and body composition. Participating in the assessments will provide individuals with the information and tools to set physical activity goals, improve overall fitness and be more active, more often. Learn more about the five components of physical fitness. 

At Be Active, we know that change is fueled by the power generated when passionate people come together. That’s why Be Active has launched the Movement for Motion, an advocacy program for people who desire to work together toward meaning change in North Carolina. The Be Active Van staff will provide Movement for Motion information and benefits, as well as the opportunity to become a member on site. Join Be Active’s Movement for Motion and help get more people, more active, more often.
