Doncaster aims for one million power points on National Fitness Day

Chris Wright, head of health and leisure at DCLT, said: "On Wednesday 16 September, we'll be bringing together communities across our DCLT sites along with our Choose Fitness members for one big challenge, generating one million Power Points in a single day.

"From swimming and fitness classes to gym sessions, running, cycling, skating and more, every movement counts. Activities will be allocated Power Points that contribute towards our shared goal of reaching one million points.

"Across our centres, activities will contribute to our Human Power Grid throughout the day as we work together towards our one million Power Points target.

"You don't have to be the fastest, strongest or most experienced. Whether you're a regular exerciser or trying something new for the first time, your activity can help power the challenge."

There will be prize giveaways throughout the day, and everyone who takes part in the challenge will be automatically entered into a prize draw.

Chris added: "There are lots of ways to get involved. You could swim and add your lengths to the challenge, run or walk and record your distance, or take part in a fitness class or gym session.

"Participants can record their activity through the online challenge platform at the centre they use. Those who are not currently Choose Fitness members can claim a free seven-day membership from Wednesday 16 September until Tuesday 22 September and join in the challenge.

"Come and join us and be part of the challenge."

Throughout National Fitness Day, DCLT will be sharing updates on its Power Points total as people across the city get moving and work together towards the one million-point target.

One day. One million Power Points. One community. Powered by You. Powered by Doncaster.
