Having started back in 2011, National Fitness Day has seen millions get involved each year and while bringing people together through physical activity has a hugely positive impact, the campaign has evolved to encourage everyone to view this day as just one step in a much bigger journey.
The theme for 2024 is ‘Your Health is for Life’, which holds a powerful message that can resonate with us all. National Fitness Day is no longer about exercising at just that one moment in time but about the longevity in taking small steps towards a lifestyle which can both protect and improve your health.
Staff and students across the College are invited to take part in National Fitness Day on Wednesday 18 September to help celebrate and highlight the role physical activity plays in assisting us all to lead more active and healthier lifestyles.
Organised in partnership by the College's Sport and Fitness department, Wellbeing team, and OD team, there will be a range of fun sessions and activities for everyone to get involved in on the day.
Activities will be taking place across our Sighthill, Milton Road, and Midlothian campuses. You can book a place on as many of the activities as you want. You may still be able to take part in some of the sessions if you don't book a place in advance.
