Girls Training Together established in 2021, were awarded best society at the University of Leeds 2022/23, they are an inclusive fitness society for those of all abilities and they offer a wide range of fitness classes, social events, charity fundraising events and it also creates a community for members. Their meeting point for their organized fun run will start at the Universities Student Union.
“Probably the social aspect, like the people you meet, the feelings you get after the run and also from a competition aspect trying to better my times.” said Kirsty Btbeattie, one of the runners taking part in the fun run when asked about the best thing in partaking in these runs.
This fun run is a great way to enjoy fitness running around Hyde Park in Leeds, by doing it as a large collective group whilst keeping it at your own pace. “I find it much easier to run as a group than by myself ” Kirsty Btbeattie added. This also gives a great opportunity for new students to settle into new surroundings and to make friends that will last a life time. Furthermore, this fun run is designed for beginners, so if a new member of GTT was slightly nervous to join in with this run then it would be more than accommodating to those who are new to running and are giving it a go for the very first time.
Memberships for 2023/2024 are already full at GTT, so for the small price of £30 for the year long membership in the next academic year of 2024/2025 there is opportunities for all the fitness classes that work out a lot cheaper than any gym membership and grants access to use any of these classes if and when someone would require them. some other benefits of joining this society would be that they can grant offers and discounts for clubs and pubs for members to go a socialize after classes.
Girls Train Together use this fun run in aid of the charity “CoppaFeel!” which is a breast cancer charity based in the UK that have a younger target audience to ensure the seriousness of breast cancer can be spread within a younger community. Their mission is to help and encourage younger people to check their breasts’ regularly and educating everyone on exactly how to deal with any situations they may find themselves in. Girls Training Together have raised £266 so far by doing fundraising and social events and are looking to reach a goal of a grand total £1000.
