GoodGym for employers

GoodGym combines fitness with volunteering in an innovative alternative to gym memberships and corporate volunteering days. It can save your employees time, increase wellbeing and differentiate you as an employer.

The GoodGym experience

GoodGym sessions include exercise and practical volunteering. Every session is different and is open to all fitness levels.

You don’t need any complicated equipment and it’s easy and fun for anyone to join in.

On each session you’ll help a local community project: these range from parks, to playgrounds to community centres, foodbanks and community gardens.

GoodGym has a network of over 1000 projects that we work with across the UK.

How it works for you

GoodGym is a fitness, wellbeing and volunteering solution for your employees. A partnership with us provides membership for your employees to take part in GoodGym in 60 cities and boroughs.

You can choose to either enable your employees to do GoodGym where they live throughout the year, or we can organise sessions from your workplace for groups of people, or as part of an awayday.

Because of the long term benefits of volunteering we find organisations benefit most when their employees are members and make regular participation a habit.

Why employers work with us

• GoodGym is proven to be one of the most powerful tools for increasing wellbeing:
  Research carried out, specifically on GoodGym’s work, by the London School of Economics shows that GoodGym makes an extraordinary difference to wellbeing. GoodGym increases life satisfaction by 21% and decreases mental distress by the same amount. It’s a robust study that distinguishes GoodGym from other corporate volunteering in terms of wellbeing evidence.

• Finding flexible volunteering opportunities can be hard:
  Volunteering is great but it can be hard to make it happen. GoodGym’s flexibility and range of organisations it works with makes it a practical solution for you and your team, and easier to access than other corporate volunteering opportunities.

• It's sustainable:
  Much of our work is increasing and maintaining green space and we rely on active travel for transport. GoodGym is about as green as exercise can get.

Make it happen

If you’re interested in increasing wellbeing, doing more volunteering, your next away day or making your workplace a more attractive place to work, we’d love to hear from you.
