NFD this year, will take place on Wednesday 20th September and we're holding a 'Your Health is for Life' seminar, helping us raise awareness of physical activity and the importance in assisting us to lead healthier lifestyles.
While bringing people together through physical activity on National Fitness Day has a hugely positive impact, we’re encouraging you to view this day as just one step in a much bigger journey. Because after all, your health is for life
