Get active, meet new people and make a positive impact

GoodGym are running a January Challenge to help you kick-start the year by getting active while helping your local community through walking, running or cycling to volunteer tasks.

🏋 Who are GoodGym?

GoodGym are a community of runners, walkers and cyclists who combine excercise with helping the community!

💪 What Is the GoodGym January Challenge?

GoodGym is a community where people get fit by helping others. The January Challenge runs throughout January 2026 and invites members across the UK to:

• Walk, run or cycle to activities in their area
• Complete community missions (like gardening, volunteering, tidying public spaces and supporting local groups)
• Log physical activity and good deeds to rack up positive impact for the Challenge

👉 Anyone can join, no matter your fitness level.

🤔 Why should you join?

✨ Flexible & Free

You can sign up to as many events as you want — no strict schedule and no gym membership fees. Simply choose sessions (group runs, missions or volunteer roles) that fit your timetable.

🤩 Meet new people

You’ll get to meet other members while running, walking or cycling to tasks!

🤝 Help others

Instead of working out alone, you’ll be heading to activities that benefit your community.

GoodGym worked with UAL Accommodation during Freshers’ Week 2025 — you might remember them from the gardening workshop they hosted 🌱
