Before GoodGym I always lost motivation to stick at running or the gym but now I run two or three times a week.

Hazel, GoodGym

Running with GoodGym is great because I get fit, do good and get to hang with a load of awesome people.

Mark, GoodGym

GoodGym combines doing good with running, which helps me forget I'm even exercising. It's great!

Judy, GoodGym

What people say about our community

Financial Times
"The World's most innovative Aging projects."
The Guardian
"GoodGym offers an imaginative alternative to conventional gyms, tapping into the human potential of local communities."
The Independent
"Why burn energy in the gym when you could harness that effort to spruce up public spaces, or visit lonely pensioners?"

Yes. GoodGym welcomes anybody no matter what your fitness level.
What should I bring?
All you need is a pair of trainers - just don't wear your snazziest gear. Tools will be provided if necessary.
