What if exercise could change not just your health, but your whole community?
In this episode of The Science Intersection, we meet Paul, coordinator of GoodGym Barnet, a movement that blends fitness with volunteering — from running errands for older neighbours to planting tiny forests. We also talk to Dave, co-founder of Clean Air Barnet, whose citizen science projects are helping communities measure and tackle air pollution in North London.
Together, they share how ordinary people can spark extraordinary change — through movement, connection, and curiosity. From delivering prescriptions during lockdown, to measuring air quality on the Tube, these stories show how fitness and citizen science are reshaping local life.
👉 Tune in to hear how GoodGym and Clean Air Barnet are building a healthier, kinder, more sustainable future — one run, one project, one conversation at a time.
