GoodGym is free
GoodGym is free to participate in and as a member you’ll get a free Saucony technical top.
We're a registered charity and members have the option of making a monthly donation which goes directly towards achieving our aims of supporting isolated older people, helping local communities and improving physical and mental health.
Donation plans start at £7 per month, there's no commitment and you can cancel at any time.
We don’t want money to be a barrier so if you're not ready to donate, or can't afford to, you can still sign up.
What people say
GoodGym combines doing good with running, which helps me forget I'm even exercising. It's great!
Judy, Lambeth
Running with GoodGym is great because I get fit, do good and get to hang with a load of awesome people.
Mark, Islington
Before GoodGym I always lost motivation to stick at running or the gym but now I run two or three times a week.
Hazel, Barnet
