Engaging every child.
Gymrun creates a purposeful and reflective exercise culture, where all children push, pull, run, ache and sweat as they challenge their individual potential. We believe in building physical fitness, health and literacy as a core foundation for all learning. We do this by embracing challenge and celebrating achievement. On completion of the Gymrun Five Challenges, every child is awarded a woven badge, while working in three of six PE NC areas. Gymrun fosters a wonderful atmosphere where more able children support and reaffirm those less able as informal fitness and health leaders.

Simple Strategy.
Fun and inclusive, Gymrun is a simple way to develop all children’s understanding of how to keep physically fit and healthy. Beyond the physical domain, our Gymrun Five Challenges improve communication and co-operation, as children evaluate and think critically about their own and others’ performances. Using our Gymrun Curriculum and Gymrun on YouTube, children learn to use sequenced foundation exercises to build upon their existing physical fitness, in and beyond the school day.
