National Fitness Day is an annual campaign by ukactive that highlights the role physical activity plays across the UK, helping to raise awareness of its importance in assisting us to lead healthier lifestyles.
Having started back in 2011, National Fitness Day has seen millions get involved each year and while bringing people together through physical activity has a hugely positive impact, the campaign has evolved to encourage everyone to view this day as just one step in a much bigger journey.
The theme for 2024 is ‘Your Health is for Life’, which has been carried over from 2023 as it holds a powerful message that can resonate with us all. National Fitness Day is no longer about exercising at just that one moment in time but about the longevity in taking small steps towards a lifestyle which can both protect and improve your health.
Why take part?
From boosting footfall in gyms and leisure facilities, uniting teams and improving workplace productivity, to teaching children and young people the importance of movement, taking part in National Fitness Day holds benefits to a whole range of organisation types.
But the biggest benefit is that you are taking part in the UK’s biggest celebration of health and fitness and helping to spread the message that your health is for life.
