The Gymrun Story
From 2001-2016, I worked as a PE teacher, Head of PE and Director of Sport in state and independent schools.
In 2016, we set up Gymrun to improve the physical health, literacy and well-being of school children.
Our assessment scheme and curriculum reached its first primary school in the following year. We now have partner organisations nationwide.
We are building a transparent culture, where all children strive to reach the next Gymrun badge colour.

He isn’t one for team sports normally. Gymrun has been very useful for him wanting to improve – It has sparked excitement in him.

This is a great scheme – it should be in every school in the UK.

I am so hugely impressed with Gymrun. The children and staff have been so energised and your message has been so important – that they are competing against themselves.

The data is a fantastic tool to inform, progress and develop a fitness culture across the school.

I really want to reach the next colour. I need to work on my run to do this.
