Every year on 10th October, the World Health Organization (WHO) celebrates World Mental Health Day to raise awareness and promote action toward better mental health care worldwide. At Lifestyle Fitness, we understand the essential link between physical and mental well-being. Our mission isn’t just about building stronger bodies—it’s about creating supportive environments where mental health can thrive through fitness and community support.
In today’s fast-paced world, mental health challenges like stress, anxiety, and depression are common, affecting people from all walks of life. That’s why mental health deserves just as much attention as physical fitness. At Lifestyle Fitness, we believe that regular exercise is a simple yet powerful way to support mental well-being, helping our communities realise how fitness can make a positive difference.

At Lifestyle Fitness, we’re dedicated to offering a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone, regardless of fitness level or goals. Our team is here to guide you on a fitness journey that can support both your physical and mental well-being.
This World Mental Health Day, we encourage you to share the benefits of fitness with a friend or family member. There’s no better way to mark the occasion than by working out together to boost both body and mind. In honour of the day, we’re hosting an Open Gym at all Lifestyle Fitness locations this Thursday, with free sessions for anyone who wants to experience the mental health benefits of exercise.
Together, let’s build a supportive community where mental health is valued just as much as physical fitness. We hope to see you at our Open Gym event, where you can experience the positive impact that fitness has on mental well-being.
