Join Better and thousands across the UK on Wednesday 24th September 2025 for National Fitness Day – the country’s biggest celebration of physical activity.

Organised by UKActive, this annual event aims to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to get moving and connect through fitness.

Leisure centres across Belfast are joining the celebration by offering free gym taster sessions, with Grove Wellbeing Centre also hosting fitness classes and other fun activities throughout the day.

This year’s theme, “Powered by You!”, highlights the power each of us has to make small, lasting changes towards a healthier lifestyle. Whether it’s trying something new, joining a class, or simply moving more, National Fitness Day is the perfect opportunity to take that first step toward better wellbeing.

As a charitable social enterprise, GLL – the organisation behind Better leisure centres – is proud to support National Fitness Day by offering free access to selected activities across Belfast.
