**PLEASE VISIT THE WEBSITE TO CONFIRM SESSION DETAILS AND LET US KNOW YOU PLAN TO ATTEND. THIS IS MANDATORY.**

**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** **Westbury Community Garden, St Awdry's Road, Barking, IG11 7QD** **at 6:15pm.**

**🏃‍♂️ At 6:30pm we'll run, walk or cycle to do a 30-40 minute task.**

**🏃‍♂️ Then we'll head back to where we started by 8:15pm, 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. 👍

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! The choice is always yours.

Do I need to bring anything? Gardening gloves are really useful for a lot of GoodGym tasks. And a head torch too if it’s likely to get dark. Please bring some if you can but there’s no requirement 🧤💡🧤

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 often meet on a weeknight, at least once a week, 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.
