For us at énergie Fitness, this day holds special significance as it reflects the vision of our late founder and former Chairman, Jan Spaticchia, who played a pivotal role in establishing National Fitness Day.

The Legacy of Jan Spaticchia 

Jan Spaticchia was not only a visionary leader for énergie Fitness but also a passionate advocate for making fitness accessible to everyone. He played a lead role in the launch of National Fitness Day through the énergie Fitness Franchise in 2011. Jan’s dedication to promoting a healthier nation was instrumental in the creation of this important day, which was gifted to ukactive in 2014. This transition allowed the campaign to benefit the whole sector, expanding it’s reach through thousands of fitness operators and suppliers within ukactive’s membership.

Jan believed that fitness should be fun, inclusive, and empowering. His work helped to shape the ethos of National Fitness Day, making it a day when everyone, regardless of age, background, or fitness level, could come together to celebrate movement. Today, his legacy lives on through this annual event, which continues to grow in participation and impact year after year.

Why National Fitness Day Matters

National Fitness Day serves as a reminder of the countless benefits that physical activity can bring to our lives. From improving mental health to reducing the risk of chronic diseases, staying active is essential for overall well-being. It’s a day when fitness centres, community groups, and individuals across the UK engage in a variety of activities, from group workouts to solo runs, all united by the common goal of moving more.
