A Macclesfield Nub News sponsor is hosting FIVE free fitness classes at the town's leisure centre.

In support of National Fitness Day, Macclesfield Leisure Centre operators Everybody Health & Leisure will throw open their doors across Cheshire on Saturday September 21 to offer FREE activities for everyone to try.

The campaign organisers, ukactive, are encouraging fitness, sport and leisure providers across the UK to make the campaign movement a great success, by breaking down the barriers and getting more people more active.

The campaign now represents the UK's most active day of the year and is powered by thousands of gyms, swimming pools, leisure centres, sports clubs and other providers, hosting a huge range of free activities including Everybody who are offering a body composition scan which includes a FREE blood pressure check as part of their Feel 5 Years Younger campaign.

Huw Edwards, CEO of ukactive said: "It's clear that our nation's gyms, pools, leisure centres, fitness studios and sports clubs have never been so in demand, showing how much people value physical activity for their physical and mental health.

"It's great to announce the date for National Fitness Day and some fantastic partners in the shape of Endurance Zone and Movember, to help us make this year our biggest yet.

"National Fitness Day really is a fun day with a serious message and this year, with the potential for a General Election and an exciting summer of sport, we have a golden chance to highlight the value of physical activity at all ages, and the role of our members in building a happier and healthier nation."
