Movement Hour 2025
Our lives are busier than ever and it can often be hard to prioritise ourselves and our health and fitness. So what if we could help employees find a bit of time for themselves during the work day? That’s why I'm calling on all employers across the country to give their employees an hour off work in March to move their bodies and feel the benefits of daily physical exercise.

What is 'Movement Hour' and when is it?
We are asking companies all over the UK, to pledge their participation in the UK’s first ‘Movement Hour’, and commit to giving employees an hour off from their regular working duties to prioritise their physical and mental health. How employees use the time is up to them - it could be a HIIT or yoga session, a walk around the block. Anything that gets them moving and feeling good. We asking for as many businesses as possible to sign up to our ‘Movement Hour’, which will take place from 3-4pm on Wednesday 5th March 2025.
How can I make it work for my business?
We understand that committing to a specific hour of the day might be impossible for some businesses, so we invite you to hold the hour at a time that works for you – or break it up throughout the week.
It’s about all of us joining together and committing to some healthier workplace habits.
How do I sign up?
If you want to join in, just sign up here and answer a few very simple questions about your business and how you can get involved.
Once you’ve registered, please keep an eye out for assets you can use to share on your own channels. They’ll be available to download from early 2025. By committing to take part, you'll also be in with a chance to get a visit to your business from Joe in 2025.
