Date and time
18:30 - 20:30Welcome to GoodGym Liverpool
We're a friendly and social group who combine exercise with helping out in the local community. We meet every Monday evening to get active and do a task to help local charities, community organisations and projects across Liverpool. Some of the group run, walk or cycle to the task, some just do the task, whatever works for you!
Most Group Runs will be lead by one of our fabulous volunteer qualified Run Leaders, but watch out for ones listed as 'Social Runs' as this means no Run Leader is present but we still go out and run together keeping our 'no one left beind' GoodGym vibe in place!
//The January Challenge – Liverpool!
January is the month for new year’s resolutions, new starts and good intentions! So we’re hitting the ground running (or walking, or cycling) with a whole bunch of extra sessions aimed to satisfy the usual resolutions of being healthier, getting fitter, making new friends, doing something good in the world, and getting to know our communities better! You’ll find a whole variety of sessions this January, so if you’re a regular GoodGymer, someone who hasn’t been in a while, or a brand new member looking to try out what we do, there will be something to get you going for 2025. Have a look through all the listings, and if you are new to GoodGym, welcome, we look forward to meeting you!
The Task
We'll be headed to the beautiful Grant Gardens (corner of Everton Rd / West Derby Rd) to sow and plant some bulbs around the 'roundabout' area in the gardens ready for the Spring!
While the evenings are still dark you will need to bring along a head/chest torch to take part And you may prefer to bring your own gloves!
The Run
Runners will be meeting at the Suitcases on Hope Street for a 6:30pm warm up and a run to the task. What 3 Words meet up link
If you are not running you can meet at the task location for 6:55pm ready for us all to start the task together. Task location: https://w3w.co/smooth.author.rising
Myth Busters - You have to be super fit to join GoodGym and you have to be a runner This couldn’t be further from the truth! We aim to make sure there is a way to get involved no matter what your fitness level or your goals. Our GoodGym team is full of people of all fitness levels, from those of us just getting off the couch and out the door wanting a little bit of moving around, all the way to those regularly running and cycling. We have regular longer run opportunities and advice from our qualified run leaders for those wanting more of a challenge, or a more gentle approach for anyone who will simply enjoy being involved in the tasks. Our core sessions usually have about half the team running and half just doing the task, and we want everyone to feel comfortable and welcome, so come and get involved! But do get in touch if you have any questions.

Hello there, I've just joined and I was trying to sign up to this session, however, the link is not working, I think? Would you please be able to help me with it?
Hi Asavari, if you scroll through the listing info above you should see a red button saying 'sign up', is this the link you say isn't working? I've just tested it and it seems fine, try again and if it doesn't work email me and I'll get someone from out tech team to figure it out! ema@goodgym.org
