Building Physical Health.
Gymrun embeds a fun and inclusive physical health strategy into the culture of schools – engaging and motivating all pupils to improve. On completion of the Gymrun Five Challenges, every pupil receives a woven badge. Gymrun encourages pupils of all abilities to stretch and challenge themselves to develop physically and cognitively. It supports three of six PENC areas and all five SPF guidelines. But Gymrun does more than this.
Gymrun builds resilience through personal competition. Working towards their personal best, pupils learn about trust, honesty and empathy. The Gymrun peer assessment encourages support, teamwork and communication. Through cooperative learning, pupils evaluate and think critically about their own and others’ performances. Gymrun creates a wonderful atmosphere where more able pupils encourage and reaffirm those less able, as informal health and fitness leaders.

Simple Strategy.
Pupils complete the Gymrun Five Challenges in one lesson, to reach one of eight physical health standards. Each standard matches a colour badge. Our five challenges provide personal competition, while developing all pupils’ understanding of how to keep physically healthy. Using the Gymrun Curriculum and Gymrun on YouTube pupils complete sequenced exercises in or beyond the school day – improving physical health, literacy and wellbeing.

Embedding Gymrun.
The best way to embed Gymrun is for us to deliver the Five Challenges lesson to four classes in your school across one day. We can combine this delivery with an after-school Gymrun Training workshop, providing full accreditation and valuable CPD. Once accredited, staff can deliver the Gymrun Five Challenges sustainably – returning scorecards to Gymrun for data processing and badge distribution.
