  • Take part in our Boxing Circuit Class

Whether it’s trying out a new exercise class, taking a dip in the pool or having a go in the gym, the campaign is designed to help inspire more people to get moving and start enjoying the physical and mental benefits of being more active every day.

 

With a quarter of the population in England classed as inactive (averaging less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week), National Fitness Day presents an opportunity to get millions more people active and support the NHS by improving the nation’s health.

 

The UK Chief Medical Officers’ Guidelines recommend:

  • Adults do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, 75 minutes of vigorous activity, or a mixture of both every week.
  • Do strengthening activities two days a week.
  • Reduce extended periods of sitting.
  • Children and young people should do at least 60 minutes of activity a day, every day of the week.

 

National Fitness Day organiser ukactive is helping thousands of gyms, swimming pools, leisure centres, studios, and sports clubs across the UK to host free events and highlight the inclusive nature of our services.
