National Fitness Day 2025

National Fitness Day powered by Active Stoke

Dimensions will be holding an Open Day event on Saturday 27 September where there will be free classes, exclusive offers, and fun challenges running throughout the day.

Dimensions Leisure Centre plans for National Fitness Day 2025 as it celebrates the theme, ‘Powered by you!’ 

National Fitness Day takes place on Wednesday 24 September 2025 and to celebrate, Dimensions will be holding an Open Day event on Saturday 27 September.

There will be lots going on for all so that visitors can join the fun and help celebrate the theme of this year’s campaign, ‘Powered by you!’ 

Whether it’s trying out a new exercise class, taking a dip in the pool or having a go in the gym, the campaign is designed to help inspire more people to get moving and start enjoying the physical and mental benefits of being more active every day. 

With a quarter of the population in England classed as inactive (averaging less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week), National Fitness Day presents an opportunity to get millions more people active and support the NHS by improving the nation’s health. 

The UK Chief Medical Officers’ Guidelines recommend: 

  • Adults do at least 150 minutes moderate intensity activity, 75 minutes’ vigorous activity, or a mixture of both, every week. 
  • Do strengthening activities two days a week. 
  • Reduce extended periods of sitting.
  • Children and young people do at least 60 minutes of activity a day across the week 

National Fitness Day organiser ukactive is helping thousands of gyms, swimming pools, leisure centres, studios, and sports clubs across the UK to host free events and highlight the inclusive nature of their services.  

A record 11.5 million people are now members of a health and fitness club in the UK. The campaign’s ‘Powered by you!’ tagline highlights that everyone – from individuals and communities, to businesses, schools and hospitals – can play their part in spreading the message around the importance of being physically active.   

Huw Edwards, CEO of ukactive, said: “As more people in the UK prioritise their physical and mental health, National Fitness Day is a moment to celebrate all the ways we can stay active to support our wellbeing and quality of life.  

“Our theme, ‘Powered by you!’, demonstrates that anyone can get involved, whether you’re a returning gym-goer or just taking the first step on your fitness journey.”
