National Fitness Day
Stay in the loop and join the Virgin Active community
On Wednesday 24 September 2025, we’re celebrating National Fitness Day. This annual event run by ukactive is a chance for you to enjoy everything you love about staying active and make a promise to yourself to keep up the good work.
As your social wellness club, National Fitness Day is one of the biggest events in our calendar, so we’ve got plenty going on for you in club.
What is National Fitness Day?
Every year in September, the UK celebrates National Fitness Day. As the name suggests, it’s about prioritising physical movement and championing everything that’s good about moving your body.
According to the CEO of Sport England, leading an active lifestyle reduces the chance of chronic illness and each year 3 million cases within England are swerved.
More and more people are realising the importance of being active and falling in love with how their bodies feel during and after, so this year’s theme is ‘Powered by you!’ It’s about highlighting how we’re all in control of our own fitness.
National Fitness Day at Virgin Active
At Virgin Active this National Fitness Day, we’ve got everything that you know and love, plus a few extra warmups that we think you’ll enjoy.
Our Strength and Conditioning and Lift Club coaches will be bringing some extra challenges to class including timed finishers, surprise bonus rounds and partner pairings. Plus, we’ll also have an inter-club burpee challenge happening throughout the day - so be there to help your club become the reigning champions.
And after all that work, you’ll be ready for a little fuel. Chow down on some snacks and food for thought in our Nutrition Q+A sessions in the lounge. Come as you are or bring a guest along for free - only for National Fitness Day!
