"  Harper&amp;#039;s BAZAAR: What led to the idea and concept of Qinetic? Ben Hart: My team and I created Qinetic because we saw a few very big gaps in the health and fitness space that had not been tackled the right way, if at all. One of the issues we noticed was that there was such an overwhelming amount of information on fitness and healthy living out there, but not much to distinguish what could be trusted and what couldn&amp;#039;t. The second issue we saw was that there was no place for health and fitness professionals and companies to showcase their brands, provide valuable information, and promote their products and services to people who care. So, we wanted to create a hub of trusted information from top professionals in the industry, including our Qinetic coaches, as well likeminded fitness oriented people and their friends. So in a way, we wanted to create a one stop for great information around the things people love in health and fitness. HB: What is your background that led you to create Qinetic? BH: I have been living a &amp;#039;fitness minded&amp;#039; lifestyle for my entire life. It is something I dedicated most of my life to, especially now. I started off my professional career competing in boxing as an Olympic trial candidate. It turned out that I had so much passion for the training that went into that I decided to be a health coach and personal trainer in NYC. It was through these experiences, mostly as a personal trainer, that I saw most of the disconnection of people finding the right information or just social motivation to get and maintain an active lifestyle. HB: So, what is Qinetic exactly and what does it have to offer? BH: Qinetic is a health and fitness community where you can find trusted information, people, and brands all relevant to you. We wanted to create a place where enthusiasts, professionals, and brands can all come together to inspire, discover, and share information around the active aspect of their lives. There are seven Qinetic coaches, who are some of the top NYC health and fitness professionals, each of whom can help you find the right information. Being some of the best at what they do, they are resources for various types of information you may be interested in and cover various topics including nutrition, strength conditioning, yoga, holistic living and more. So, basically as you use Qinetic to find topics you love and people similar to you, you can also use a coach along the way as a resource to find what you are looking for, too. HB: How can Qinetic benefit the regular Harper&amp;#039;s BAZAAR reader looking to up her stay-fit lifestyle? BH: Qinetic is for anyone who is looking to lead a healthier life and meet people who want to do the same. Whether you&amp;#039;re someone who wants to share their personal story, find a trainer, instructor or dietician, or you&amp;#039;re someone just coming to browse some of your favorite topics, then Qinetic is for you. I have gotten some great insight from friends and clients on how Qinetic has helped them. I used to get bombarded with questions on everything from training routines to nutrition, to sleep. Now I just tell them to go to Qinetic and they can find a bit more on what they are looking for. The great part about the topics section of the site is that you can see what people are saying about it regardless if they are a professional or not. I have been told that what people really like is that if they can&amp;#039;t find something they&amp;#039;re looking for, they just turn to one of the Qinetic coaches directly\u2014they liked to have a resource from some of the best who are willing to help.
