Welcome to GoodGym Bexley!

We're a friendly and sociable group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every Wednesday evening to get active and do a physical task to help community organisations and charities in our area.

This session is ideal if you are new to GoodGym or just getting started with running, as it's a short distance there and back. Prefer to walk there? No problem, we can have a walking group to get there too. Nervous about coming on your own for the first time? Why not invite a friend to come along with you.

The task

We're on a mission to help tidy up and make the school even better for the children. Our regular visits have involved cutting back low-hanging tree branches, building wildlife habitats, clearing the nursery outdoor play area, sorting out musical instruments, and painting communal areas.

Jane, the vice principal of the school, always has something for us to do and it's always good fun so come along and join us.

During the darker evenings we're likely to be indoors, but best to bring gardening gloves 🧤 and a headtorch (if you have one) in case it is an outside task.

📍 When and where

The task is at Holy Trinity Lamorbey CE Primary School, Burnt Oak Lane, Sidcup DA15 9DB. If you are going there directly, enter via the pedestrian gate next to the main driveway and walk up the drive to the main entrance where we'll gather at 7pm. Please leave a comment below so that we know to meet you at the school.

For the group run/walk meet at 6.40pm outside the reception at Sidcup Leisure Centre, Hurst Road, Sidcup. It's a short 1km distance to the school and no matter what your speed, at GoodGym no-one is left behind.

You can leave bags in a locker at the leisure centre but you will need to bring your own padlock 🔐.

We'll run/walk back afterwards or you can make your own way home after the task.
