Red January: Get January 2020 off to a bang with a free gym trial

TLDRoffon

Sign up for Red January - it's not too late - and take advantage of one of the free trials in our on-campus gyms.

Our gyms are great value and open from early until late and now, for January 2020, you* can join us for a free gym taster session.

It's not too late to join our Red January team

We've signed up to be part of RED January, a community initiative, that is exclusively partnered with MIND and encourages people to be active every day throughout January to support their mental health and raise money for a charity that is seeking to ensure everyone that experiences a mental health problem gets the support and respect they deserve.

Being part of RED January will provide you with a goal and a focus in a characteristically tough month, empowering you to start the year as you mean to go on. All achievements are celebrated, no matter how big or small and the RED community is there to support you every step of the way.

So sign up to the GREENwich goes RED team and take the 2020 Red January challenge.

There's plenty of ways to keep your Red January on track

As well as the free gym trials, think about ditching your desk and joining a 30 minute led group walk, or a 30 minute cardio group workout.  At Avery Hill there's also free badminton and free tennis coaching, as well as the Parkrun in Avery Hill Park (Saturdays 9am).  At Greenwich we've teamed up with GoodGym where you can run and help with a local community project.

For more details of all of these please see the Red January activities schedule.

If you have any questions, or want more information about the challenge please contact ActiveGre@gre.ac.uk
