Commenting on the initiative Michael Manley from GLL, the charitable social enterprise that operates Better leisure centres in Preston said:

“It has never been more important for the public to embrace activity and fitness as an aid to mental and physical health.

“So, we are delighted to join this year’s National Fitness Day Campaign -Health is For Life - in our leisure centres, gyms, studios and pools across England, Wales and Northern Ireland with a host of free classes and activities for everyone.

“No matter your state of fitness, taking small steps to be more active more often will have huge benefits throughout your life – and that journey could start on National Fitness Day when you try something new.”
