Fitter Futures.
The Gymrun program is a leading approach to developing fitness and physical literacy in schools and children’s organisations. Gymrun empowers children to become fitter, engages staff in a sector leading program, evidences fitness impact, and embeds an organisation wide fitness culture.
Through Gymrun, children build fitness, fitness understanding, physical literacy and resilience. Gymrun was created with every child in mind, particularly those who are less active and less physically competent. It’s very important that Gymrun works effectively for these children.
A bit like Yoga or CrossFit, Gymrun is a movement philosophy, but designed with children firmly in mind. Gymrun supports all five key indicators for the PE & Sports Premium Funding, and three of six areas of the NC PE program of study. View Gymrun publications in PE Matters (AFPE) SPRING23 | AUT20

Gymrun Story.
In 2016, Mike Weeks set up Gymrun to build an inclusive fitness and physical literacy legacy – forming innovative partnerships – in education, health and sports settings. Mike has developed a way to do this that is fun and purposeful. Gymrun was created with every child in mind, particularly those less active and less physically competent. It’s imperative to Mike that Gymrun works effectively for these children.
Since 2001, Mike has worked as a PE teacher, Head of PE, Personal Trainer and Director of Sport, driving transformative changes in state and independent schools. He has seen the positive impact of improved fitness on all areas of children’s lives. Mike is an advocate for leading by example. He continues to teach numerous PE lessons in schools every week to this day.
