National Fitness Day 2026 at Better Gym Bexleyheath and Sidcup
Better Gym Bexleyheath and Sidcup are proud to support UK Active's National Fitness Day 2026, the nation's biggest celebration of health, fitness and physical activity.
Taking place on Wednesday 16 September 2026, this year's theme, "Powered By You", highlights that everyone has a role to play in creating a more active nation. Whether you're an individual, part of a family, workplace, school or community group, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved and experience the benefits of movement.
Research continues to show that regular physical activity plays a vital role in supporting both physical and mental wellbeing. Exercise can help reduce the risk of a range of health conditions, including cancer, type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal issues, depression and anxiety. Yet, according to Sport England's Active Lives Survey, more than a quarter of people in England remain inactive, completing less than 30 minutes of activity per week.
To help everyone get moving, Better Gym Bexleyheath and Sidcup are opening its doors with a range of FREE activities throughout the day. Whether you're looking to try something new, return to fitness or begin your fitness journey, we have plenty of opportunities for you, your friends, family and colleagues.
