Fitter Futures.
The Gymrun Program is a sustainable approach to developing fitness, physical competence, movement confidence and resilience in schools. Gymrun engages staff and schools in a purposeful program, evidences impact, and embeds a reflective, growth mindset fitness culture.
Above all else, Gymrun empowers children to move more, move well and build fitter futures. Gymrun was created in 2016 with every child in mind, particularly those less active and less physically confident. It’s very important to us that Gymrun works for these children.
Framed within a physical focus, children develop holistically through Gymrun as they move, feel, think and connect in carefully considered assessment, curriculum and competition experiences. Combining the fundamentals of Athletics, Fitness and Gymnastics, Gymrun supports all five key indicators for the PE & Sports Premium Funding, and three of six areas of the NC PE program of study.

Simple Approach.
The Gymrun Assessment Tracker monitors and celebrates every child’s fitness progression, increasing understanding, engagement and motivation for physical learning. The Gymrun Movement Curriculum provides all school stakeholders with a simple physical development solution for every child.
Arrange a day for us to deliver the Gymrun Assessment Tracker to two or more classes in your school or organisation, to observe how children respond to this program in action. This delivery can be combined with Gymrun CPD Training, making Gymrun fully sustainable.

Gymrun Story.
In 2016, I set up Gymrun to support more children in more schools to move more, move well and build fitter futures. I have found a way to do this that is fun, inclusive and purposeful, forming innovative partnerships in education and health settings.
From 2001-2016, I worked as a PE teacher, Head of PE, Personal Trainer and Director of Sport, driving transformative changes in state and independent schools. During this time I saw the positive impact of improved fitness and physical development on all areas of children’s lives.
I am passionate about the value of children of all ages being taught by qualified and committed PE teachers. I teach the Gymrun Program in six primary schools (our Lead Schools), and as a bespoke NHS program for CEW children (with complications from excess weight), every week to this day.
