The Best Promotional Products To Fit In With National Fitness Day

National Fitness Day is sprinting into sight! With the goal of celebrating exercise and shining a light on the role it has to play within the UK, the awareness day is all about the importance of leading a healthy, active lifestyle.

With 'getting fit' meaning something different to each and every one of us, the event is all about breaking down fitness barriers and stereotypes, proving fitness and the undeniable feel-good factor of working out can be enjoyed by anyone.

Last year's edition of the event saw upwards of four million Brits 'get active' in the name of #NationalFitnessDay, including 1.25 million children. Over 58,000 professionals got involved too, with workplaces across the country signing up to classes and workout sessions on the day. 

Okay - So What Is National Fitness Day? 💪

Now in its sixth year and due to take place on 25 September 2019, this feel-good nationwide event is all about encouraging people to embrace the fun of exercise. 

With a range of activities taking place across the country to mark the occasion, National Fitness Day 'brings the nation together to remind us why it’s so good to move-it-move-it, highlighting the role that physical activity plays in helping us lead healthier, happier lives'.

Gyms, schools and village halls will be throwing open their doors to host fitness classes and workshops for attendants, with dance-offs, treadmill challenges and HIIT classes scheduled to take place across the country.

Sounds good to us - and it could make a neat opportunity for your brand to get involved in a UK-wide celebration, too. (No sweat required!)

Brands That Can Benefit From Getting Involved In National Fitness Day

According to the 2019 State of the UK Fitness Industry Report, the UK fitness industry is currently in its healthiest condition to-date. With 10.4 million gym members across the country (a 4.7% rise from 2018) and a market value of £5.1 billion (a 4.2% rise from 2018), it doesn't take much 'working out' to realise that getting your business involved in a fitness-themed event could be an excellent exercise in brand awareness.

There are all sorts of businesses, organisations and brands that could feel the benefit of getting involved in a nationwide event such as National Fitness Day, including...

• Fitness brands: Whether you give customers promotional clothing, branded fitness toys (such as one of our sports-themed stress balls, perhaps), printed water bottles... We have countless options that your customers will love to use!
• Health organisations and charities: From printed wristbands to logo-embroidered caps, Total Merchandise has a wide range of giveaway items that are ideal for ensuring your customers can get involved with the event and keep your branding on display at the same time. 
• Mental wellbeing organisations: With exercise proven to improve mental health, National Fitness Day could offer relevant organisations a huge platform to showcase what they do. 

Of course, some products - such as branded caps or printed water bottles - can be used by any customer, regardless of their interest in fitness or exercise. These can make great promotional giveaways for businesses that don't have a direct link to the exercise industry but still wish to participate in national awareness events.

Promotional Products Can Boost Brand Awareness On National Fitness Day

Of course, the beauty of promotional sports merchandise means prolonged brand awareness that extends long after National Fitness Day is over. Items such as printed sports bottles, branded caps and promotional step counters can be used by your customers long after the event is over, making your logo a subtle yet significant part of their day-to-day lives.
