GoodGym Crystal Palace // Group Session // Do Good & Get Fit
Details
Want to do something useful with your exercise? GoodGym is no ordinary gym. We're a group of people who get fit by doing good - helping out local charities and community groups with physical jobs like shifting compost and planting trees.
📍 We meet at the Bridge House pub in Penge from 6:45pm.
🏃♂️ At 7pm we do a relaxed 2-3km jog to a local community project.
💪 We'll do a 30-minute task.
🏃♂️ Then we'll jog back to the Bridge House by 8:30pm, do some stretches and maybe grab a beverage?
It's FREE. It's fun. It's fulfilling. And we're a very friendly bunch. 🍇

FAQ:
Not sure you'll keep up? GoodGym is for everyone (18+). Whether you've never run before, or are chasing a marathon PB, you are 100% welcome. We always have a back-marker so no one gets left behind.
70% of GoodGym members start as non-runners so if you're new to this kind of thing you will be supported by people who are all on the same journey. 👍
Running late? Or just want to meet us for the task? We'll arrive the task venue at 7:20pm - Look for the red t-shirts.
What do I need to wear? Most of us wear gym/running gear. Make sure you're prepared for the weather.
Don't feel like you're fit enough? Our tasks are simple and fun. There are easy jobs as well as more challenging things for those who want a workout!
Do I need to bring anything? Gardening gloves are really useful for a lot of GoodGym tasks. And a headtorch too now that it's darker. Please bring some if you can. 🧤💡🧤
Can I leave my coat and bag at the Bridge House? Yes - the staff normally put stuff in their secret area. This is at your own risk.
What is GoodGym? We're a (really lovely) group of people who use our energy to make a difference in our local community (and in communities across the UK!). We meet every Monday evening for a session to do good and get fit. We'd love you to come and join us. Any questions, just pop a comment below or send me a message. Find out more at goodgym.org
