Why Support Loddon Community Gym?
Loddon Community Gym is more than just a gym. It’s a welcoming place where residents of Loddon, Chedgrave and surrounding areas can genuinely improve their health, quality of life, and well-being—all through the power of exercise and community.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we keep our membership and session fees as low as possible, ensuring that everyone in the community has the opportunity to access our facilities.
This commitment has made the gym a lifeline for many, from those looking to stay active as they age to people recovering from injuries - or seeking a friendly, pressure-free place to exercise.
“My overall strength, stamina, confidence and well-being are so much better. I find having a quiet local gym facility with an instructor as sympathetic to my needs as Louise has enhanced my life both physically and mentally.”
— Caroline Rowland
Traditionally, we’ve been extremely grateful to receive grants from local authorities and trusts to support our running costs, but these are becoming fewer and farther between.
Now, we need your help to ensure that Loddon Community Gym can continue to thrive and serve everyone who needs it.
“Having been a user of the Gym since day one, I’ve seen over the years how many people have benefitted from this vital facility. It’s not just about staying fit and healthy, there really is a feeling of it being a social centre because there’s such a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with no pressure whatsoever!
— Ted Shread
