Read on to learn how Made Active is redefining healthy eating—one delicious, convenient meal at a time!

What inspired you to start Made Active, and how has the journey evolved since then?
Before there was a brand, coaching businesses, managerial roles, or an incredible community of clients, there was just a fifteen-year-old girl who didn’t exercise, knew nothing about nutrition, and was worlds apart from the woman you see today.

In my younger years, I fell into the cycle of yo-yo dieting, over-exercising, and restrictive eating—pushing my body to its limits without understanding how to truly care for it. That experience shaped my mission: to help others fast-track their health journeys without repeating the mistakes I made. Made Active was born from a desire to create lasting, sustainable change in people’s lives, and our evolution reflects that. What started as a personal passion has grown into a movement dedicated to simplifying health, making fitness accessible, and supporting people through every step of their transformation.

As the founder of Made Active, what’s been your proudest moment so far?
It’s hard to pick just one, but seeing the brand grow beyond what I ever imagined has been surreal. Watching Made Active gain recognition while continuously expanding our products, services, and customer experience fills me with pride. The most rewarding part is hearing from people who tell me Made Active has made their lives easier, healthier, and more fulfilling. Knowing we’re delivering more than just meals or programs—we’re creating real impact—is the ultimate achievement.

How has your personal passion for health and nutrition influenced the direction of Made Active?
My personal journey is the foundation of everything we do at Made Active. Every lesson I’ve learned about health, nutrition, and mindset has shaped our approach. I know first-hand how overwhelming and confusing the fitness world can be, which is why Made Active is built on simplicity, sustainability, and support. We’re here to cut through the noise, providing practical solutions that actually work in real life.

How do you balance taste, quality, and nutrition when creating your meals?
It’s all about reimagining the foods we love. Every meal starts with a personal favourite—often something that’s traditionally seen as indulgent. I believe healthy eating shouldn’t feel like a sacrifice, so I focus on creating meals that taste incredible without compromising on nutrition. It takes time, testing, and a lot of trial and error, but the goal is always the same: bold flavours, balanced macros, and zero guilt. If I wouldn’t eat it myself, it doesn’t make the cut.

What excites you most about partnering with Nutrition Capital to provide pick-up points for Made Active meals?
I’m excited because I know how much this will genuinely help people. Life gets busy—between work, family, and fitness, it’s easy for nutrition to fall through the cracks. With pick-up points, we’re removing barriers. No more stressing about grocery shopping, meal prepping, or cleaning up. Just grab your meals and know you’re staying on track. It’s a simple solution to a common problem, and that’s what Made Active is all about: making healthy living easier.

What’s next for Made Active—are there new products, recipes, or initiatives we can look forward to?
Absolutely! We’ve got some exciting things on the horizon. New meals are in the final stages of development—we’re just waiting for the last bits of packaging to be approved. Soon, there’ll be more variety to choose from, along with additional delivery days to make it even more convenient. Plus, we’re working on expanding our partnerships and rolling out initiatives that will make Made Active an even bigger part of our customers’ health journeys. Stay tuned—it’s going to be a big year!
