4. “ Because I run anyway and it would be good to make a contribution to my local community at the same time.” “ Because I ditched my gym membership long ago in favour of parks. Outdoors trumps sweaty machines anyday. And doing some good while outside exercising sounds like it'll just add to the endorphin fix.” “ Do lots of running already and often use it for own errands and would be great to put it to good use to help others eg deliver library books to housebound or other helpful tasks.”

13. What we need now: Get it going in your area: If you’re from a council or NHS organisation we can run the Good Gym in your area for 30-40k. This includes full setup costs and employment of a local project manager. This will reach 300 members and aim for 10,000 visits per year. Invest in our tech: We want to develop the site to track runs more accurately and provides more of the benefits of a gym. Things like showing off to friends and providing you with feedback on your fitness. This will allow us to increase our numbers, increase efficiency and build in evaluation. We are looking for 50k of investment to develop and test a run tracking element of the site. This will position us to expand into other local authorities and maintain a consistent user experience.
