Behind Beyond Activ
Ross Campbell, the founder and Chief Executive of Beyond Activ, is a life-long health and fitness fanatic, who studyied Sports Science and Psychology at the University of Glasgow in Scotland before attaining a BSci (Upper Hons) in Neuroscience - reading physiology, biology, anatomy, pharmacology and neuroscience.

Having co-founded the world’s largest energy b2b network (Oil & Gas Council), expanding the company rapidly across five continents, Campbell moved into to health and fitness, launching The Jungle, an MMA and HIIT gym concept in Singapore, and becoming an ambassador for lululemon. Experiencing first-hand the fragmentation of the industry in Asia, he created FIT Summit (relaunched as Beyond Activ in October this year), a network to connect the owners, investors and management of health, fitness and wellness companies.

Through the pandemic Ross cofounded the Singapore Fitness Alliance, the non-profit industry association for Singapore’s fitness industry. In 2022 he cofounded Active Franchising, an industry platform for promoting regional and international franchise investment opportunities.
