We’ve just launched The Good Gym website.
The Good Gym aims to connect people who want to get fit with good causes in a way that is mutually beneficial. The site aims to encourage people to engage with the idea and to allow organisations and individuals from within Tower Hamlets to get involved.
Last weekend Jeorg came over from Berlin to do a video piece for Der Spiegel. This has resulted in some students wanting to set up the project in Germany. Exciting stuff. I hope it works!
If you live or work in Tower Hamlets and think this is something you might be interested in, please get in touch.

Great idea ivo, i dont live in tower hamlets but i’d be interested in setting one up in sussex. If you had some sort of ‘franchise pack’ that would be really useful? How are the german students going about setting up something similar?

Im definitely interested, I would love to be part of the good gym. Can we part of the pilot if we work in tower hamlets, or just if you live here?

I have been running in my local area recently and discovered this great website.
http://www.walkjogrun.net which allows you to track a journey you have done/will do, you can type in how long it took you and you can see how fast you are running. You can also see other routes that people have taken in your area.
Have a look at my run on tuesday here : http://www.walkjogrun.net/routes/current_route.cfm?rid=06326B6E-B12F-E30D-B9B150B9BECA125C
Perhaps the good gym can use similar platforms to connect people with runners based on where they live.
