Sector collaborates to give NHS workforce free access to fitness

A collaboration between the physical activity sector and public health will give NHS workers and their families free access to The Everything App, a new digital platform offering fitness, sport and wellbeing services.

The app provides free on-demand and live-streamed sessions from expert brands including Johnson Digital and Fun & Moving, plus discounted local, in-person sessions, bookable directly through the app. It offers fitness, nutrition, mental health, and wellbeing sessions tailored for health and social care professionals, with activities ranging from 10 minutes to one hour, including Pilates, yoga, strength training, meditation, and family workouts.

NHS wellbeing leads will also gain access to real-time workforce engagement data to support evidence-based health outcomes.

Powered by bookings and business management platform, Fibodo, the partnership-led initiative leverages the collective strength of the physical activity sector. Early adopters include leisure operator Fusion and gym chain Snap Fitness, plus a number of national governing bodies of sport, such as Swim England, with Fibodo providing free access to its platform for all physical activity stakeholders.

The app builds on the success of DoingOurBit a first-generation fitness app launched during the pandemic to support frontline NHS teams.

As the UK’s largest employer, the NHS has more than 1.8 million staff. Recent NHS England Digital data (26 June 2025) shows that 2.1 million Full Time Equivalent days were lost in a single month due to sickness, driven by stress, mental health challenges and musculoskeletal issues.

Already adopted by 158 NHS Trusts, representing 79 per cent of Trusts across the UK and a further 40 NHS organisations, including Integrated Care Boards, GP practices, care homes, and ambulance services, the app brings significant scale to the partnership.
