About us
We’re Active Nation, a registered charity committed to inspiring the nation to improve their health and well-being. Our mission is driven by poignant and powerful statistics… 50% of women and 30% of men in the UK are damaging their health through a lack of physical activity. Physical inactivity is now associated to 1 in 6 deaths in the UK. We exist to spread the word of sport and exercise in all its forms, getting whole communities excited and opening their eyes to the health benefits and possibilities leading an active lifestyle can bring. We achieve this by creating digital and physical environments that tear down perceived barriers and encourage increased participation in physical activity. Using our indoor and outdoor venues nationwide as base to operate from, we support more than 250,000 people being regularly active within the four walls of our venues and beyond out in the open spaces of our communities.

🎄 Let’s Talk Festive Wellness: The Season for Balance ✨ The holiday season is filled with joy, connection, and indulgence—but it can also take a toll on our physical and mental health. Did you know: 💪 Regular exercise lowers depression risk by 30%—yet staying active gets tougher this time of year. 📉 On average, there’s a 20% drop in physical activity over the festive period. 🌥️ 3 in 100 people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), often triggered by shorter days and reduced daylight. 🎁 And the average weight gain during Christmas is 0.5-1kg—a normal result of festive feasts! This isn’t about guilt; it’s about balance. Taking small steps—like a brisk walk, a fun family game, or even dancing to christmas music—can make all the difference. Stay mindful of your well-being so you can truly enjoy the season and enter the new year feeling your best. 🌟 What’s your favorite way to stay active during the holidays?
