13:45 - 14:15 | Keynote Keeping fit, doing good: The GoodGym story


Ivo Gormley Founder, GoodGym


Faced with a loneliness epidemic amongst the elderly and an ever-increasing obesity crisis in the UK, Ivo came up with the idea for GoodGym in 2008 after realising that exercise and doing good for the community didn’t have to be mutually exclusive.


The GoodGym community combine getting fit with a range of good deeds: from restoring local parks to dropping in on isolated older people. The initiative is now up and running in 39 areas across the UK, with a further 76 in the pipeline.


Ivo will share the brands’ inspirational story during his keynote presentation and encourage visitors to think outside the box.
