Step by Step walk and jog group

Do you want to get more active through walking or jogging? Join our beginner-friendly, zero-pressure group!

You are welcome to walk, jog, or try a bit of both. Our friendly staff will be with you every step of the way.

You don’t need to be fit or fast; this is for everyone!

How it works 

Each week, we'll meet at the Nook then walk to Glasgow Green where we'll do short laps. Doing laps means there's no pressure around pace as no one will get left behind. You are welcome to walk, jog, or do a bit of both. 

Who it’s suitable for 

Step by Step is for everyone, no matter your fitness level. Whether you’ve never run before or just want to get more active, this group is for you. 

It’s a gentle way to improve your fitness, and there's no pressure to keep up with anyone else. The key is taking it at your own pace and enjoying the journey! 

If you have any health concerns about beginning an exercise, make an appointment to see a GP and discuss it with them first. 

What are the benefits?
