Taking place on Wednesday 22 September, National Fitness Day will see people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities uniting to celebrate the fun and benefits of physical activity in our daily lives.

Free events will take place in gyms, leisure centres, studios, parks, sports clubs, as well as online via digital platforms and apps, with millions of people set to try out a new activity or reignite their love for an old one.

You can search what's going on in Birmingham, or alternatively, run or host an event of your own - from opening up a regular class for free all the way through to going for a world record.

Get involved by posting photos or messages on social media by using the hashtag #Fitness2Me and #FitnessDay to share what fitness means to you – be it beating stress, improving wellbeing, making friends or achieving a target.

Find out how you can join the celebration at www.nationalfitnessday.com

Are you an activity provider hosting at activity on National Fitness Day? Do you want free marketing? Why not open your data?

Our vision is for an active, healthy city for everyone. Increasing opportunity and participation in physical activity helps improve lives. But getting the word out can be difficult. That's where open data comes in.

Our activity finder works because of open data. Things like class times, location and cost are shared by clubs and groups on OpenActive compliant booking systems and our activity finder pulls all of that information together. It means that all the information people need to find and start a new activity is in one place. This includes descriptions, times, prices, locations and availability of sessions.

It does not include personal customer data (things like names, emails, payment information), commercially sensitive data or participation and attendance data.

Opening your data simply means making it easier for people to find out about your activity when they search on the internet. The more people know about you, the more people are likely to join in!

If you already use a booking system, it could be as easy as clicking a button! Check out our list of booking systems below to see which systems are already OpenActive enabled, and how to turn on this functionality for your activities.

We passionately believe people should get and stay active. Despite the restrictions there's much we can still do – running, walking or cycling outside, or working out at home with free online tools.

Sport Birmingham are calling on the city's activity providers, clubs and community organisations to get involved in Join the Movement.

To help inspire and motivate the people in our communities to continue to be physically active by any movement ( ie cycling to work, walking to the shops, dancing in your room, doing an online workout) we have created the #BhamJTM toolkit. Click HERE to read
