What does your health mean to you?
This year’s National Fitness Day is taking place on Wednesday 18th September 2024. The theme is ‘Your Health is for Life’, encouraging people of all ages, abilities and background to recognise and celebrate the life-long physical and mental benefits of being active.
More than a quarter of the population in England is classed as inactive – averaging less than 30 minutes of exercise a week – according to Sport England’s latest Active Lives survey.
So, this year, we want to support our industry in shifting the focus. While bringing people together through physical activity on National Fitness Day has a hugely positive impact, we’re encouraging you to view this day as just one step in a much bigger journey. Because after all, your health is for life.
Starting at 6:30am we have scheduled one-off classes and various challenges throughout the day with prizes to be won! Classes can be booked on the app from Tuesday 10th at 8pm.
You don’t have to be able to run a marathon or lift 100kg to benefit from National Fitness Day. If you walk an extra 500 steps on the treadmill as a result of National Fitness Day, 3 days per week, that is an extra 78,000 steps per year!
