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 2026 'Powered by you’, marks a fresh direction - placing you at the heart of the movement.
National Fitness Day isn't just about about one day of activity but about taking small, lasting steps towards a healthier, stronger future.
We’re celebrating National Fitness Day across our venues with a wide range of FREE activities!
From fitness classes and gym-floor challenges to running, swimming, racquet sports and wellbeing activities, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Try something new, take on a challenge, or simply find a way to get moving that works for you.
Check out all the activities happening at our venues on National Fitness Day!
