Before GoodGym I always lost motivation to stick at running or the gym but now I run two or three times a week.

Hazel, GoodGym

Running with GoodGym is great because I get fit, do good and get to hang with a load of awesome people.

Mark, GoodGym

GoodGym combines doing good with running, which helps me forget I'm even exercising. It's great!

Judy, GoodGym

All you need is a pair of trainers - just don't wear your snazziest gear. Tools will be provided if necessary.
