To celebrate Dydd Cenedlaethol Ffitrwydd 2026<\/a>, we’re shining a spotlight on the organisations helping more people become more active more often.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here, we speak to Tony Eames, Founder of Total Active Hub, about why the organisation has partnered with ukactive to launch a dedicated workplace movement activation programme for National Fitness Day, helping employers inspire healthier habits that last.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why did Total Active Hub want to get involved with National Fitness Day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve always believed the workplace has a huge role to play in improving the nation’s health. People spend a significant proportion of their lives at work, yet many organisations struggle to engage employees in physical activity in a way that’s truly inclusive and sustainable.<\/p>\n

National Fitness Day is already an incredible moment that inspires millions of people to move, so partnering with ukactive to extend that momentum into workplaces felt like a natural fit. We want to help organisations turn a day of inspiration into lasting behaviour change.<\/p>\n

Tell us about the workplace initiative you’ve launched.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Together with ukactive, we’ve launched 20\/20<\/a> \u2013 a free workplace movement programme encouraging employees to be active for just 20 minutes a day for 20 days.<\/p>\n

The challenge is deliberately simple. Every type of movement counts, whether that’s walking, cycling, swimming, gardening, yoga or simply taking a lunchtime walk.<\/p>\n

It’s designed so that everyone can participate, regardless of age, ability or fitness level. Rather than focusing on athletic performance, the goal is to help people build healthier habits.<\/p>\n

Why do you think this approach is important?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many workplace wellbeing initiatives unintentionally appeal to people who are already active. We wanted to remove any barriers.<\/p>\n

By asking people to move for just 20 minutes each day, the challenge sets a goal that feels achievable for almost everyone and that is explicitly encouraged by employers. When colleagues participate together, it also creates conversations, stronger social connections and a shared sense of purpose across teams.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the smallest changes can have the biggest impact.<\/p>\n

What impact have you seen through your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve now worked with organisations across healthcare, transport, financial services and technology, supporting thousands of employees to become more active in over 120 countries.<\/p>\n

Across our programmes, employees average more than 300 minutes of activity every week \u2013 double the NHS minimum guidelines.<\/p>\n
