Since the gym opened in April 2014 to the local community, it continues to provide a great service to the local area and is known to many for being a friendly and welcoming environment where they can exercise, without feeling intimidated, whilst making improvements to their overall health. The Community Gym is a valuable asset to Loddon and the surrounding villages and has proved to be successful when it comes to helping not just those who are healthy but also those who have various medical conditions. Many members with medical conditions have seen the benefits and improvements to their overall health by attending this gym and rely on this gym to maintain their physical and mental well-being.

In 2024, we are now celebrating 10 years of Loddon Community Gym. We have decided to celebrate this milestone by organising a sponsored 1,000 miles challenge in 12-hours. This will involve members of the gym exercising using treadmills, bikes, rowers and cross trainers and recording their mileage. The main aim is to do 1,000 miles in 12 hours.

All funds raised will be shared equally between The British Heart Foundation and Loddon Community Gym.
