National Fitness Day 2023!
Better Gym Brentwood are supporting UKActive’s ‘National Fitness Day’, the most active day of the year! National Fitness Day takes place on Wednesday 20th September 2023 and encourages the nation to celebrate the fun of fitness and physical activity.
‘Your Health is for Life’ will be the theme for National Fitness Day 2023 aiming to encourage people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to recognise and celebrate the life-long physical and mental benefits of being active. The annual campaign tries to inspire millions of people across communities to be more active, with thousands of free activities hosted by gyms, swimming pools, leisure centres, sports clubs, workplaces, schools and online providers.
With the support of Movember and Endurance Zone, National Fitness Day 2023 will take a holistic view of the importance of health and wellbeing, focusing on three key areas: mental health, nutrition and recovery, and physical activity itself.
There has never been a greater, evidence-based understanding that moving our bodies is essential for us to feel well, both mentally and physically. In the UK today, physical activity is helping millions of people to fight cancer, type 2 diabetes, skeletal and muscular pain, depression, anxiety, and many other conditions. Despite this, more than a quarter of the population in England is classed as inactive – averaging fewer than 30 minutes of exercise a week – according to Sport England’s latest Active Lives Survey.
In 2022, National Fitness Day saw participation reach an estimated 11 million people, including over four million children and young people, and the total audience for the campaign hit more than 50 million through social media, TV, radio and the press.
If you want to make the most of the FREE events, try a new activity or look to start your personal fitness journey, we will have plenty of opportunities for you, your friends, your family, and colleagues.
