National Fitness Day on Wednesday 7th September will see a huge range of free events and taster sessions take place across the country – including all Active Nation venues – helping to make it the most active day of the year in the UK.

The aim of this year’s National Fitness Day, the biggest annual celebration of fitness and physical activity across the UK, is to inspire people to get moving while making it easy and fun to try something new. This year will also see thousands of schools and workplaces involved, providing the opportunity for the whole family to get active.

At Active Nation venues, supporters and visitors alike, will be able to take part in lots of brilliant fun activities – including many free classes, free gym sessions and so much more! Please contact your nearest venue for more information. Or visit www.nationalfitnessday.com/ and search for free activities using your postcode.

Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, Chair of National Fitness Day organiser ukactive said: “National Fitness Day is a powerful tool to raise the profile of physical activity and the role it plays in increasing the health of our nation. By engaging people across the country we can help provide a pathway into continued involvement in physical activity.”

Tracey Crouch, Minister for Sport said: “Sport and physical activity can have a really positive impact on people’s lives, improving both physical and mental health – I hope as many people as possible get involved on the day.”

Research  shows  if  you  exercise  in  company  (with  friends)  you  are  more  likely  to  stick  at  it;  the social atmosphere creates a positive environment which importantly helps us to have fun. So why not bring a friend with you and enjoy lots of free sport and exercise at Active Nation on Wednesday 7th September! We’d love to see you!
