Movement Hour is back for 2026 – here's what to expect

Date: 18 March 2026 Time: 12-1pm – or whenever suits your team

Last year, I launched the first ever Movement Hour for workplaces 😃

My mission was simple: what if we could help employees find a bit of time for themselves during the work day? Our lives are busier than ever and it can often be hard to prioritise ourselves and our health and fitness.

I wanted to inspire the nation to think about how we can support employees to be more active.

More than 1,000 companies took part in Movement Hour 2025, encouraging their employees to take time out of the working day to exercise. Some people went for walks, others joined my Movement Hour YouTube workout, and some did exercise classes with members of their team.

I loved seeing you all tag me to show me how you were connecting with colleagues and moving together.So this year, it's back.

Movement Hour 2026

Movement Hour will be taking place on 18th March 2026, with an optional time of 12-1pm. But if that time doesn't suit your company, I'd encourage you all to find a time that does. Even if you can only commit to 20 minutes, or do an hour across the week, that still counts.

This year, all companies who enter will be in with a chance of having me join their workplace on the 18th March to get moving together.

So can your company pledge to give employees an hour off in March to move?
