I'm the Trainer for GoodGym Norwich. I love running and have led a lot of running groups in the Norfolk area, none as fun as the GG family.

Meet the Trainer of GoodGym Norwich

Marion Road Day Centre tidy up
The centre was closed for the majority of the pandemic, and although we have managed to maintain the grass, the weeds around the fire exits and perimeter of the property have grown. So we would like help weeding paths, fire exit passage and generally tidying up.
You can either meet at The Forum at 6pm or meet at Marion Road Day Centre (Marion Road, NR1 4BN) at 6.30pm.
There will be a walk and run option from The Forum or you can cycle alongside us.
Although there is no baggage storage at The Forum, any belongings can be left in my vehicle.

Helping @ St Alban Church Hall
Launching on the grounds of St Alban Church Hall on Grove Walk, with an aim to create a pleasant green oasis with community seating, and lots of lovely plants!
We'll meet at The Forum at 6.15pm and aim to arrive at the task at 6.30pm (for those who want to meet directly at the task).
There is a walking or cycle option to and from the task.
Please bring your own gloves.

Queen Elizabeth III
I received a phone call from BBC Look East during the morning to see if GoodGym Norwich could go live on the news later in the day.
As it is Blue Monday and the fact they had heard about Elizabeth Halford's recent award, they rightly thought adding GoodGym to the news show would share a positive message to others.
At short notice, 20 GoodGymers managed to make it to The Forum for their minute of fame, I mean to support Elizabeth. They all received a good workout while we were being filmed.
The father of GoodGym CEO Ivo designed the Angel of the North statue, so I thought it'd be fitting to have Elizabeth's face super imposed to it.
Oh, and yes the BBC spelt my name wrong haha.

Live on BBC Look East
BBC Look East would like to to go live on air this evening to put a positive note on Blue Monday and to capture Elizabeth's recent incredible award.
We're going to meet at The Forum at 6.30pm, to do a gentle fitness session live on air about 6.45pm. We'll pretend we're going off to a Group Run but we won't actually be doing that!
Optional whether or not anyone then fancies going for a run afterwards.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come along as the more we have there the better it will look!

Sorting Donations @ Norwich Foodbank
The Norwich Foodbank have lots of donations to be sorted at their warehouse and would like GoodGym's help to do that!
We'll meet at The Forum at 6pm and aim to arrive at the task at 6.30pm (for those who want to meet directly at the task).
There is also a cycle option to and from the task.
Please bring a face covering as we'll be indoors.

The ‘Branch Manager’
This morning's task was another visit to Mousehold Heath but on this occasion we visited an area of the heath that we hadn't visited before.
Myself and Nicole made our way there from The Forum, while the others met us at the heath, some of whom had completed parkrun.
Nigel greeted us and explained the task ahead, which was to trim the bottom parts of the trees beside the car park. This was to help the tree health and to keep the park exposed from the car park.
The loppers came out and we didn't hang about in getting on with the task.
Beks' doggo Emrys was assisting in collecting up the sticks and branches, so much so that he was trying to grab the branches from Nicole.
I had a slight awkward moment (aside from standing in dog p00) when a dog ran towards me so I got my camera out and said "come here Emrys" and started taking photos of it. A man was walking over while looking at my weirdly followed by Beks telling me "that's not Emrys"... oops.
We got loads done and Nigel was rather impressed when he came back over 30 mins later.
Well done to all 9 GoodGymers who were able to make it, a job well done.
