Get ready to move, motivate, and make a difference! Saturday, June 7 is National Health and Fitness Day (NHFD)—Canada’s official day to celebrate the power of physical activity. As a fitness professional, studio, or club operator, you’re not just invited to join in—you’re essential to making this day a success! 

Proclaimed by Parliament in 2014, NHFD encourages Canadians to get active in any way they can. It’s also your chance to shine a spotlight on your facility, showcase what you offer, and inspire your community to make fitness part of their everyday life. 

10 Energizing Ways to Activate National Health & Fitness Day in Your Club and Community: 

  1. Host a free open house to welcome the wider community. 
  2. Invite members to bring a friend or family member—because fitness is more fun together! 
  3. Run a themed group fitness class (red & white for Canada Day vibes!). 
  4. Offer quick “try-it” wellness workshops like stretch breaks, mindfulness, or nutrition tips. 
  5. Submit a blog or story to your local online news outlet to raise awareness. 
  6. Post on social media using #NHFD2025 (sample posts below to make it easy!). 
  7. Collaborate with local health professionals to host a mini wellness fair. 
  8. Pitch a segment to local radio or TV—a great way to promote NHFD and your brand. 
  9. Lead a community walk or outdoor group workout—get outside and get noticed! 
  10. Send a personal email or text to your clients thanking them for being a member/client and encouraging them to move on June 7. 

Remember—this isn’t just about one day. It’s about sparking a movement! Most people are introduced to fitness by someone they trust. Be that someone. 

So, let’s unite on June 7 to show Canada that fitness is for every body!  

Be loud, be proud, and help your community move toward better health—one step, squat, or smile at a time!
