Welcome to GoodGym Newcastle

We're a friendly and social group that combines exercise with helping out local charities and community groups. Every Monday evening we meet to get active and do a physical task to make a difference in the Newcastle area. The GoodGym motto is 'Do Good, Get Fit'.

This task on October 24th

This is our first visit to Brian Roycroft Court. The task is to move soil and planters and to help tidy the place up. Please bring your gardening gloves if you have them. We'll have some to borrow, along with all of the other equipment needed.

Where we meet

We’ll be meeting at Brian Roycroft Court, Byker, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 1PT. Byker Metro Station is nearby as are the bus stops on Shields Road, Byker. Brian Roycroft Court is near both KFC and Morrisons in Byker.

Please look out for the red or black GoodGym t-shirts if you are new! Please comment below, send an email (email address is on the GoodGym Newcastle home page) or ask on WhatsApp if you are lost or cannot find anyone else from GoodGym.

Participating at GoodGym Newcastle

GoodGym is for absolutely everyone aged 18 and above. This session does not involve running or walking as a group to the location. Please meet at the address in Byker.

Tyne Housing has asked to reschedule this session due to the high winds being forecast on Saturday afternoon.

Sorry for the late notice. It’s highly likely we’ll be going ahead with it one Saturday in November instead.
