On Wednesday 24th September, the leisure centres operated by GLL across Waltham Forest will be celebrating the biggest physical activity celebration of the year. National Fitness Day (NFD) aims to encourage the nation to get moving and bring people together regardless of fitness levels. The 2025 theme is Powered By You. You can book a free session in the gym or try out a fitness class on the website or Better UK app. This year, we have added slots for free swimming and during select sessions there is no charge for children in the soft play at Waltham Forest Feel Good Centre (WFFGC).  
 
The programme is listed in the table in this news story. For the latest information check the Better UK app and your centre’s social media account.  If you don’t currently follow us on Facebook or Instagram do so now.  

GLL CEO Peter Bundey said: “One of GLL's core values is 'Tackling Health Inequalities' - as the largest public operator in our sector, we know the collective difference we can make to the nation's health and wellbeing when we get more people more active. 
"So we were keen to support ukactive's National Fitness Day Campaign in our centres across England, Wales and Northern Ireland with 100s of free activities for everyone. 
“Encouraging individuals and communities to take small steps now can have huge benefits throughout their lifetimes." 
 
Community Sport Manager for GLL in Waltham Forest said “We want this to be our biggest National Fitness Day so we want our existing members to show their power by encouraging friends, colleagues or family to try one of the free sessions. This could be the opportunity they need to ‘kick start’ their health journey. There are a range of activities so there should be something for everyone.”
