YMCA Bath Gym Summer Social

16 June 2026

Each year, our gym team take advantage of the warm weather and sunshine to host a summer social event. It is a great way to shake things up a bit with some fresh air and fun challenges.

This year, the team held a 5k run /walk across our beautiful city of Bath. Starting from YMCA Bath Gym, participants headed down the canal and concluded their journey at Adventure Cafe.

The weather added a helping hand this year – members turned up with partners and dogs to enjoy the lovely sunny June evening together. Whether walking or running, everyone who attended had a great time. Many remarked that this was a great way to spend their Friday evening, a testimony to our strong community among members and staff.

After completing the 5k, the event wrapped up at Adventure Cafe for a wind own drink and great chats. Overall, the summer social was a huge success – we look forward to many to come.

“A massive thanks to everyone that took part, especially my fab team who supported the evening and helped to show why are club has such a special community vibe” – Simon Burgess, Head of Health & Wellbeing
