**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.

FREE BACHATA CLASS & FREE ENTRY AT BAILANDO SUNDAYS - Be at one Regent ST
Kick off your week with music, movement, and great vibes. Come solo or with friends—no partner needed!
**Schedule (This Sunday):**
• 6:00 PM – Free Bachata Taster
• 6:30 PM – Bachata Classes (3 Levels)
• 7:30 PM – Salsa Classes (3 Levels)
• 8:30 PM–23:00 AM – FREE Social Dancing (Salsa, Bachata, a touch of Kiz)
**What to expect:**
• Friendly teachers, clear level splits, and lots of practice time
• Great music and a welcoming crowd for all levels—absolute beginners to improvers
• Central location, easy transport, and good vibes all night
**Why social dancing is good for you:**
Social dancing is a fun workout that boosts your cardio, coordination, and posture—without feeling like “exercise.” It reduces stress, fires up your brain with musical timing and footwork patterns, and improves confidence through gentle challenges and quick wins. Dancing with different partners builds connection, empathy, and communication skills (you literally learn to “listen” with your body). It’s also an incredible way to make friends and feel part of a community—one song at a time.
Good to know:
• No partner or experience required
• Wear comfy shoes, bring water, and arrive a bit early for level check-in
• Classes start right on time—don’t miss your warm-up!
Price: £10 one class £15 two classes
6:00 PM class is FREE intro to bachata
RSVP now so we can plan levels and floor space. See you on the dance floor! 💃🕺
