Thanks to Ewa Mat and John Long for joining tonight! The weather was great and perfect for that 3 km run. We met at Christ Church Sport center and warm up before our run around the university and town center. After we walked around city center to share some info about Goodgym and hand some flyers! Everyone was very interested and happy to know about Goodgym in Canterbury. Soon we will have a bigger community around to help others and have fun getting fit!

GoodGym Canterbury Kicks Off with an Amazing First Session!

Last Saturday, GoodGym Canterbury marked its debut with an energetic and inspiring first session that left everyone buzzing with excitement and potential!

The amazing morning began with a warm-up that got hearts pumping and spirits high, preparing the group for what lay ahead. The main session featured a scenic 3 km run, providing the perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment. Post-run, we focused on stretching to cool down and keep those muscles happy and ready for the next adventure.

Five enthusiastic participants with different fitness levels joined us for this milestone event, each bringing their unique energy and commitment to making a difference. Along the way, we had meaningful conversations about the positive impact GoodGym can have on Canterbury and its community. From helping neighbours in need to tackling local projects, the possibilities feel endless!

We also discussed how fitness and community spirit go hand-in-hand with GoodGym. With the right guidance, anyone can build their fitness while giving back to the place they call home.

It was incredible to see this group come together, united by a shared passion for running, helping, and making Canterbury stronger. We are already looking forward to the next session, this is just the beginning!

See you next time, team Goodgymers!
