Figures released by Sport England show Surrey’s fitness levels still aren’t quite back to where they were pre-pandemic

The latest Active Lives report measures how many people are meeting the Chief Medical Officer’s recommendations for activity levels.

66.8% of adults in Surrey are considered “active”, or doing more than 150 minutes of some sort of activity per week. 

This is up 1.4% from the same period last year. 

Surrey’s return to fitness isn’t quite as rapid as that of the rest of the South East, but it’s still the fourth most active county in England.

At 21.1% Surrey’s inactivity measure fell faster compared to the country as a whole.

But it still leaves one in five, or over 200,000 people, “not doing enough” to cut their risk of poor health in the future.
