The GoodGym is a national charity set up to combine running with volunteering. Rather than running on treadmills in gyms our community of runners get fit by doing good!

We have weekly free group runs where we run to a local charity or organisation to help them out with a physical task, we then carry out a fitness session and run back again. The group runs are led by a LiRF qualified run trainer who is available to give advice and support to runners at all times. All group runs are followed up with run reports and personal emails.

Through the GoodGym you can also take part in coach and mission runs - runs where you visit isolated older people, either to help them out with a one off practical task or to socialise with them on a regular basis. This is a great way to get motivation to run and at the same time you have a great positive impact on someone's life.
