Fit to Move exercise classes

This year we are challenging ourselves to walk around the world by taking 50 million steps and you can help us take these by involving your exercise class, whether you are a teacher or class member. Each step you take helps us get further and also help people living with arthritis in the UK.

We are looking for exercise classes to be part of our Fit to Move campaign by counting how many steps you and others in your class can achieve over the year.

The more steps you take, the further around the world we will travel. It’s very simple – all you need to do is designate one or more classes over the course of the year for Fit to Move and then decide how you want it to work for you.

This could mean

• setting a target of a certain amount of steps to take
• doing classes in fancy dress themed with the countries that we are visiting
• doing a country challenge such as stepping across France

We are asking you to either donate your class fee (or a percentage of it) or run a sponsored event and ask your clients to get sponsored or both to help us raise vital funds for people living with arthritis.

By undertaking the challenge we will help support you along the way by:

• advertising the exercise class you run on our website, which receives over 250,000 unique visitors a year
• an event organisers pack including templates for posters and sponsorship forms
• one free t-shirt and pedometer for each of your event organisers
• t-shirts and pedometers for each individual who pledges to raise £15
• prizes for event organisers (we like to reward you for your hard work)
• prizes for individuals (we like to reward your participants)
• regular updates about the Fit to Move campaign throughout the year
• PR opportunities including a press release, template and PR support for your class targets and achievements
