THE office of Andrew Lewer MP has been named the winner of the ‘Fit for Office’ challenge, hosted by ukactive in partnership with Myzone.
The month-long challenge, which is designed to encourage MPs, Peers and their offices to be physically active for their own health, and to recognise its value to constituents, saw 146 people sign up, representing 53 offices.
To climb the leaderboard, participants used Myzone’s wearable devices to track their physical activity effort levels and obtain Myzone Effort Points.
MEPs measure effort rather than distance or time spent exercising, and therefore reward people for being more physically active regardless of their previous fitness.
MEP scores for all participants in each office were tallied and divided by the number of participants in each team to provide the average score for each office.
Fit for Office 2024: Top five offices (MEP average per team):
1. Office of Andrew Lewer MP – 18,076 MEPs.
2. Office of Alex Davies-Jones MP with 10,674 MEPs.
3. Office of Dehenna Davison MP – 8,138 MEPs.

5. Office of Lia Nici MP – 6,182 MEPs.
This year, individuals have also been recognised for their success in the challenge, with Alex Davies-Jones being crowned the highest-scoring MP and Baroness Hayman taking home the top prize for the highest scoring Peer.
The largest team (and the highest cumulative team score, of 46,194 total MEPs) came from Bob Blackman’s office, with eight members of staff competing.
