National Fitness Day at LSBU Active

LSBU Active announces plans for National Fitness Day 2026 as it celebrates the theme, ‘Powered by you!’

 

National Fitness Day takes place on Wednesday, 16 September 2026, and to celebrate, LSBU Active will be hosting free activities for everyone to try.

 

Click here to reserve a ticket for the free activities, such as

  • Join our Glutes and Core Session
  • Take part in our Boxing Circuit Class
  • Access to our fitness suite

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.

LSBU Active Celebrates Kerry’s Inspiring Return to the MoonWalk London

At LSBU Active, we are incredibly proud to shine a spotlight on one of our own, Kerry, a dedicated staff member at London South Bank University and an active member of our fitness community.

Kerry is taking on an inspiring challenge for the second time as she prepares to participate in the MoonWalk London, 16th/17th May 2026, a 26.2-mile charity walk raising vital funds and awareness for breast cancer.

What makes this achievement even more powerful is Kerry’s personal journey. She is a cancer survivor, and her determination to take part again is nothing short of remarkable.

The MoonWalk is more than just a walk; it’s a celebration of resilience, community, and hope. Kerry embodies all of these values. Her commitment to returning to the event highlights not only her strength but also her desire to give back and support others facing similar battles.

At LSBU Active, we are honoured to support Kerry every step of the way as she trains for and completes the 26.2-mile. Stories like hers remind us why community, health, and wellbeing are at the heart of everything we do.

We would love for our community to come together and show its support. If you’re able to, please consider donating to Kerry’s fundraising page and helping her make a meaningful impact:

Every contribution, big or small, helps support life-changing research and care for those affected by cancer.

Kerry, we are all behind you — good luck, and we couldn’t be prouder!

How LSBU Active Turned Movement into Meals

At LSBU Active, London South Bank University, March 2026 didn’t just get people moving; it brought people together for something bigger.

From 10–27 March, students, staff, community members, and corporate partners all came together for one purpose: to turn everyday physical activity into meaningful global impact. This means every bit of activity counted, whether it was a gym session, a fitness class, or just getting outside for a walk. And thanks to the Technogym ecosystem, every 2,000 MOVEs tracked meant a meal for a child in need.

What made it special wasn’t just the cause; it was the atmosphere. The gym floor, classes, and outdoor spaces were filled with people of all abilities getting involved in their own way. And the bright yellow campaign t-shirts became a symbol of belonging, positivity, and purpose.

By the end of the challenge:

  • 74 people had taken part
  • 210 meals were donated to the UN World Food Programme

Each MOVE tracked through the LSBU Active App became part of a shared story — one where fitness met compassion.

What made LSBU Active’s contribution truly special was the people behind the movement.

Among them were Rodney and Nicola, a couple from the local community, whose participation perfectly captured the spirit of inclusivity and determination:

The MOVEs challenge was fun to do as it had a purpose other than doing it for yourself. It gave us a motive and a clear goal.
For us, 2000 moves were a two-day achievement. It was harder for Rodney, naturally, but he still enjoyed himself.

The campaign also inspired LSBU students, including Olivia Pol-Bodetto, a final-year MSc Physiotherapy student, who reflected on the impact of taking part:

Turning our energy into something that genuinely helps others was such an amazing feeling — I’m so proud to have been part of it!

LSBU Active’s contribution formed part of a truly global achievement.

Globally, the Let’s Move & Donate Food 2026 campaign achieved some incredible things:

  • 1.1 billion MOVEs collected worldwide
  • 552,797 meals donated globally
  • 151,191 participants across 141 countries

There is even more good news: the UK came out on top worldwide, contributing over 221 million MOVEs and helping deliver 110,756 meals. A huge achievement that LSBU Active played a part in.

This campaign showed that fitness doesn’t have to be just about personal goals or routines. It can be about people doing something good together.

A huge thank you and congratulations from LSBU Active to every single participant who took part and supported the Let’s Move & Donate Food 2026 challenge.

Your energy, commitment, and community spirit made this initiative a true success. We are incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved as a community.

LSBU Wins Three League Titles! 🏆

Yes, you read that correctly! This season has been a hugely successful one for Team LSBU, with three league titles secured in the last two weeks.

Both LSBU Men’s Football 1st Team and LSBU Men’s Rugby Team have been crowned champions of their BUCS South-Eastern leagues, each clinching the title with multiple games still to play. Their success means Men’s Football will be promoted to Tier 5, while Men’s Rugby moves up to Tier 4 next season.
It has been fantastic to see both teams perform so strongly throughout the season, and we’re excited to see what they can achieve next year.
Special recognition goes to Daniel Alawode, captain of the Men’s Football 1st Team, and Tom Norman, who leads the Men’s Rugby side, for their leadership and contributions to these achievements.

Success hasn’t been limited to BUCS. In the London Universities Sports League (LUSL), LSBU Women’s Football Team also claimed their league title in the final game of the season, completing an unbeaten league campaign.
Special mentions go to team captain Olivia Pol-Bodetto and Alba Foster-Diez, the team’s player-coach, whose leadership played a key role in guiding the team to an outstanding season.

LSBU Active Joins Global Campaign to Turn Workouts Into School Meals

This March, members of LSBU Active have a new reason to get moving. From 10–27 March, LSBU Active is taking part in Let’s Move for a Better World, a global campaign turning physical activity into real impact.

Organised by Technogym and supporting the World Food Programme, the initiative tracks activity through the Technogym ecosystem. Every workout, class, or step generates MOVEs, and every 2,000 MOVEs equals one school meal donated.

Together, participants across the globe are working towards a shared goal: donating one million school meals to children who need them most.

At LSBU Active, members can contribute by tracking workouts in the gym, joining classes, or staying active outdoors. Those interested can join the challenge through the LSBU Active App or speak to a member of staff for more information.

The message behind the campaign is simple: every move can help change a life.

LSBU on the Podium

LSBU Active is proud to celebrate an outstanding achievement as Sport Scholar Karmen Bruus claimed Silver in the High Jump at the prestigious BUCS Nationals.
Facing the very best university athletes in the country, Karmen produced a superb performance, clearing 1.84m in a highly competitive final. In a closely fought contest, she narrowly missed out on gold to her training group partner, who was representing Loughborough University, in what was one of the standout events of the championships.
It was also fantastic to have her coach, Gasper Epro, who is also an LSBU lecturer, supporting her during the final.

This Silver medal is a testament to Karmen’s dedication, consistency and composure on the national stage. Delivering a jump of 1.84m at this level reflects the commitment and preparation taking place behind the scenes.
Her season continues to gather momentum, with Karmen set to return home to Estonia in two weeks’ time to defend her Estonian National title, where she also proudly holds the national record. We wish her the very best as she looks to build on an already exceptional year.
