Moves App

Moves is our FREE app which rewards you for being active! Whether you’re just walking around campus, fancy a quick bike ride or going for a run in London – you can earn points through Move East London Moves. 

Any form of exercise will allow you to accumulate points that can be used to redeem a range of rewards such as water bottles, power banks, gift vouchers and sports kit! 

To make sure you’re not missing out on earning points on the go, search for ‘Moves+’ in the App Store or on Google Play.

Google Play download

Once you’ve downloaded the Moves app make sure you scroll down and select ‘Move East London’ to create your account. 

You will need to sign up using your @uel.ac.uk email address and wait up to five minutes to receive a confirmation e-mail (please check your junk mail). 

You can then link a tracker to the app to record your activities. We strongly advise using Apple Health or Google Fit depending on your phone as these will automatically track your activity, but other trackers are supported.

Challenges

Challenges cover a variety of different activities and are a great way to earn yourself extra points whilst staying active. 

You can only enter one type of challenge at a time (e.g. you must complete an active step challenge before starting another one), but we have challenges across walking, running, cycling and swimming to keep you busy!

Rewards

Once you have enough points for a reward, these need to be redeemed through the app and then collected from the East London Sport office (SD1.11) unless stated. 

Our rewards range from free coffees and pastries, to powerbanks and glass bottles, to our premium rewards such as backpacks, hoodies and kit to ensure you’re wearing East London Sport colours while on campus!

FAQs

What is Moves+?

Moves+ is the free-to-use physical activity app for University of East London staff and students. It is an app that tracks your activity and with the help of challenges rewards your efforts with points.

How do I connect or change trackers?

You will be prompted to connect a tracker when first creating your profile. If you skipped this step you, click ‘edit profile’ in the app.

Can I connect more than one tracker?

No, but you can set up trackers such as Strava and Fitbit to sync with Apple Health or Google Play. This will then allow all activity to be tracked in one place.

What activity does Moves track?

Moves tracks steps, miles ran, miles cycled and metres swam.

How do I find rewards?

Click on the rewards button at the bottom of the screen. Rewards with enough points to redeem will have ‘available’ displayed. If not, the screen will say ‘you need more points’.

What if I redeemed the wrong reward?

Once a reward is claimed it cannot be undone and your points won’t be reimbursed.

What do I get points for?

You get points for the following four activities: 

  1. Steps walked – 100 steps = 1 point 
  2. Miles cycled – 1 mile = 15 points 
  3. Miles ran – 1 mile = 45 points 
  4. Metres swam – 100 metres = 5 points

Why haven’t my points been tracked yet?

On average, any activity will sync with Moves within 24 hours.

How do I join a challenge?

Click on the ‘Explore’ button at the bottom of the screen and select ‘Challenges’. Click on an available challenge to learn more about it and then ‘Join Challenge’ when you want to activate it.

Can I join more than one challenge?

Yes, but you can’t join the same type of challenge. E.g you can’t compete in two ‘step’ challenges at the same time.

If I leave a challenge will I lose my progress?

Yes, if you leave a challenge you will lose your progress.
