National Fitness Day 2025

This September, Horizon is excited to celebrate National Fitness Day, the UK’s biggest and most inclusive celebration of health and wellbeing. On Wednesday 24 September 2025, we’re inviting everyone in our community to get moving, try something new, and discover the benefits of an active lifestyle.
National Fitness Day is all about encouraging people of every age and ability to find joy in being active. From children and young people to busy parents and older generations, it’s a reminder that fitness looks different for everyone and that every step, every swim, and every class matters.
More Than Just One Day
National Fitness Day began back in 2011, and since then, millions of people across the UK have taken part. Over the years, it has grown into something bigger than a single day of activity. It’s about showing how the small, everyday choices we make can protect and improve our health long into the future.
This year’s theme, “Powered By You”, highlights the idea that the most important factor in your health and fitness journey is you. Your energy, your choices, and your motivation are what drive lasting change.

Free Access for Everyone
To celebrate, we’re opening our doors to the whole community with free access to all our facilities on Wednesday 24 September. That means you can:
- Dive into the pool for a refreshing swim
- Explore our gyms and try out the latest equipment
- Join a group exercise class and feel the buzz of working out together
It’s the perfect opportunity to see what Horizon is all about, whether you’re already a member or completely new to us.
Fitness for Every Body
At Horizon, we believe that movement should be accessible to everyone, no matter your age, ability, or circumstances. That’s why our facilities and programmes are designed to welcome people from all walks of life, including those with hidden disabilities, health conditions, or reduced mobility.
National Fitness Day is a chance to discover activities that feel right for you, whether that’s a gentle swim, a supportive GP referral pathway, or joining a group class for the energy and encouragement of others.

Join the Celebration
We’ll be sharing more details in the build-up to the day, so keep an eye on our Instagram page for updates and inspiration.
At Horizon, we believe that fitness is more than a workout. It’s about building connections, supporting wellbeing, and helping our community to thrive. National Fitness Day is a brilliant reminder of that, and we can’t wait to celebrate it with you.
So mark your diary for Wednesday 24 September 2025, gather your friends and family, and come along to Horizon for a free day of fun, movement, and community. After all, this day is powered by you.
