GoodGym Haringey group fitness and task
Welcome to GoodGym Haringey! We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every week to get active and do a physical task to help the charities and community organisations and projects in our area.
The Task:
I'm busy confirming what exactly we'll be doing this week, it'll definitely be something amazing in our community. Check back soon for more details.
The Run/walk:
GoodGym is for everyone. We welcome runners of all abilities and it is often possible to walk to the task if you would prefer. We always have a back-marker so no-one is left behind - we're about achieving something together so you'll always be welcome no matter what your pace is.

We Had Apparel Of Laughs
12 Goodgym Fashionistas vogued their way through the streets of N22 as they ran to help clothing charity Traid to get their shop floor ready for their winter collection.
Front Page Headliners
Big up to Hardcore Sam who joined us straight after a bout of the dreaded Covid bug and made the catwalk look more like a cakewalk. And it was her birthday this week to boot. Star.
Special mention for Becca too, who joined us for her first proper post-lockdown group run. T'was like she never stopped. Boom.
Getting a Foot in the Dior
We were joined by GG legend Ivo last night so everyone was in their best behaviour - or at least we tried! Seriously, some of this lot you can't take anywear.
Anyways, we had a lopsided run last night as the good folk at Traid had been hard at work since 6 so we did a very short 1k run straight there so we could help.
Most of us arrived on time, whilst some unnamed Goodgymmers left it appropriately and fashionably late to arrive at the party. Some people will run 23 miles just to make an entrance - runners, eh?
At Traid, we got on with the familiar jobs of packing away the clothes and working out our frustrations with a bit of hanger management.
Gramps tried to put on some frilly purple pants but was fervently and physically talked down, on account of both Ivo and his mum being there for the task. I suppose we've found the line for our Haringey Goodgymmers.
After a very efficient 45 minutes, the team at Traid were gratefully ushering our rowdy lot out the door, but not before saying thank you and taking loads of pics with the team. Another prompt mission completed.
It was then a case of the Disappearing Goodgymmers during our long run back to base as one by one, people started peeling off home.
In the end, Kapil, Ivo, and Gramps made it back to HQ for High Fives. Ace.
Join us next week for fun and games!

TRAID Needs You!
Who Are You Wearing?!
TRAID (Textile Reuse and International Development) is a UK charity working to tackle and solve the problems caused by producing, consuming and disposing of clothes. And their Wood Green store needs some help to get the floor ready for the next cycle of clothes. Come and help us sort out clothes, pack away hangers, and generally imbibe in some awesome ol' school GoodGym vibes. It'll be great!
We're really cool. Really!
GoodGym is a community of runners that combine getting fit with doing good. We stop off on our runs to do physical tasks for community organisations and to support isolated older people with social visits and one-off tasks they can't do on their own.
Go on, you know you want to!
We'll be meeting at Blue House Yard, run, do a good deed - all within 90 minutes. We meet at 6.45pm and leave by 7.00pm.
If you are new to all this, don't be shy and don't be worried about feeling left out, we make everyone feel very welcome. We welcome runners of all abilities and never leave anyone behind. If you have any questions please email me on euclides@goodgym.org
See you there!
