GoodGym combines getting fit with doing good.
We offer free sessions in which people can do some exercise while helping their community. Each session combines a run, walk or cycle with completing a practical task for a charity or older person.
Typical tasks include changing smoke alarm batteries or lightbulbs for older people, or clearing gardens or painting fences for community centres.
