On Wednesday 22 September, the wellbeing and fitness sector will unite to celebrate National Fitness Day, which is now in its tenth year and has grown year on year thanks to the incredible work and support from organisations within the industry.
It has been an incredibly turbulent and challenging time over the past 18 months and as we move into a post pandemic world, many people’s lives have changed along with our routines, social interactions, connections and for some more flexibility allowing us to prioritise exercise. Physical activity will be a vital vehicle on our COVID-19 recovery journey, reconnecting us through healthy active choices whether that be on the gym floor, a group exercise studio, out for a walk with friends or in your own space.
National Fitness Day is an opportunity to demonstrate how physical activity can unite people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. Physical activity is a powerful enabler and living your healthiest life through staying active whilst having fun in the process has a well-documented positive affect on physical health, mental and emotional wellbeing and of course allows for social connection that many of us need and have missed.
At OneWellness we believe that being physically active means something different to each of us, whether it be to enjoy life and being active with your family and friends, feeling healthier and connected, recovering from injury, having fun or training for a sport to name just a few.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic OneWellness adapted it’s fitness class delivery to online in an attempt to maintain connections and friendships our members had nurtured providing the opportunity to see some familiar faces virtually was reported by our members to be a real boost to moral and motivation to stay active. We have maintained this function and adapted a hybrid approach to class delivery which are now not only delivered face to face at the Club but streamed live for those wishing to take part at home or in their place of work.
