Welcome to GoodGym Newcastle

We're a friendly and social group that combines exercise with helping out local charities and community groups. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to make a difference in the Newcastle area. The GoodGym motto is 'Do Good, Get Fit'.

This task on October 19th

This is our first visit to Borderline Books. We are helping to tidy their premises to allow them to fulfil their mission of providing books to those in need.

Where we meet

We’ll be meeting at Unit 1B Stonehills, Shields Road, Pelaw, Gateshead, NE10 0HW.

Pelaw Metro Station is nearby. Please look out for the red or black GoodGym t-shirts if you are new! Please comment below, send an email (email address is on the GoodGym Newcastle home page) or ask on WhatsApp if you are lost or cannot find anyone else from GoodGym.
