National Fitness Day is an annual campaign led by ukactive that celebrates the role physical activity plays across the UK, raising awareness of its importance in helping people lead healthier lifestyles.
Since launching in 2011, National Fitness Day has inspired millions of people to get involved each year. While bringing people together through physical activity remains at the heart of the campaign, it has evolved to encourage everyone to see the day as the start of a much bigger journey towards improved health and wellbeing.
This year’s tagline, “Powered by You,” highlights that everyone has a role to play and opportunity to be active — from individuals and communities to businesses, schools and hospitals.
Douglas Alexander MP said:
“Today I’m pleased to help highlight this year’s National Fitness Day. Enjoyleisure provides excellent gyms and leisure facilities across East Lothian to help local people participate in sport and keep physically active.
“If you haven’t used their facilities before, National Fitness Day is a great time to find out more about what they have to offer and start your fitness journey.”
