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.

There's the option to run there and back as a group. Whatever your pace, at GoodGym no-one is left behind. Or if running's not your thing you can meet us at the task.

Nervous about coming on your own for the first time? Why not invite a friend to come along with you.

** The task**

We're heading to Days Lane Primary School this week and next to lend a hand with a couple of jobs that will make a real difference for pupils and staff.

We will be painting some brand-new sheds, helping to keep them protected from the elements and looking smart for years to come.

We'll also be clearing an overgrown patch of ground that's become home to weeds, brambles and nettles. The teachers are particularly keen for us to clear it out, as footballs regularly end up in there and no-one enjoys having to battle through prickly plants to retrieve them!

Gardening gloves 🧤 are strongly recommended. Other equipment and tools will be provided.

** When and where**

The task is at Days Lane Primary School, Days Lane, Sidcup DA15 8JU, What3Words: those.noises.forest. If you are going directly, please be at the school by 7pm. Leave a comment below so we know to meet you there.

For the group run meet at 6:30pm outside the reception at Sidcup Leisure Centre, Hurst Road, Sidcup DA15 9AE, What3Words: wished.sprint.enable. It's a 2.3 km distance to the school. We'll run back afterwards, or you're welcome to make your own way home.

Options are available to run between 2km and 5km in total

Remember that we run to and from the task, so you'll only be running for half this distance in one go.

This is a standard GoodGym group run. If you can't run for more than 15mins without stopping or you're worried about any aspect of the session, contact us.
