Autumn 2026 at ForgetTheGym

Craving a little bit of routine after a busy summer? At ForgetTheGym we have great optimism for an Indian summer and have lots on the calendar for you. It's time to decide what you will do between now and the end of 2026 to help you feel stronger, happier and energised. We are here to help: 

All our plans for autumn

Membership Adventures : Wherever our members are based this autumn we are in their pocket - with our podcasts, meetups, classes, recipes and inspiration. It is like having a bunch of like minded fresh air buddies right whenever you need motivation, support and a gentle nudge in the right direction. Here is what our members have to say about why they love the membership. Doors close for 2026 on 12th Sept until 2027, so dont miss that deadline. 

BUT - you don't need to be a member to join us - here are other ways you can feel great running this autumn : 

Back on the Beach : On 8th September we start a brand new 12 week term of running classes for women in Sandymount and Clontarf. If you need a kick out the door on a week night, we are just what you need. Classes for all levels and plenty chats, fun an fresh air thrown in. Sign up for autumn classes. 

Can't meet us in person? : Now, we know there are lots of you out there wanting to start running, or get back running, or maybe even have a big running goal, but you can't escape to join us in person. We have just the thing for you. We have a full series on virtual online courses that you can join. See all our courses. 

Why do our online courses work? Life is busy and our courses allow you to fit running into your life where suits you best. Follow along at your own pace with weekly videos, lessons, support and REAL people who understand you if you have any questions along the way. We know you have a busy life outside of running and training doesnt happen in a vaccum! Your time is precious.

We are in your corner to ensure that running doesn’t take over your life but instead allows to you to keep a LOVE for running and still have plenty energy for a great life outside it. It's our head, setbacks, self belief, injuries and excuses that get in our way. We get it, and we are real people there to help you who understand how you are feeling and all you are juggling! See all our online courses. 

Running Getaways and Retreats: After a trip to west cork in August we are always excited about planning new getaways. We have many attendees who come back each year it is so FAB. Great food, stunning scenery, wonderful company and a run or two along the way. In late autumn we will launch our 2027 retreats which will have France, West Cork and maybe even Italy on the cards! Members will get priority booking and then we will share with wider audience if any place left. 

Feel Great Running Workshop : Join me (Mary) for the best 2 hours where you get all my tips and tricks I've picked up over the last 20 years on how to make running feel lighter on your body (and indeed your head). From running form to breathing, sports psychology secrets to mindset tricks, we cover all the simple ways to make running more light and fun, all in a relaxed, friendly and non-competitive environment. See Autumn Dates and Locations. 

Preparing for Beaujolais : Its not until November that we head to France but the groundwork happens in the summer as we get organised and excited for our running and wine getaway. Everyone signed up will get a monthly update this summer to help you plan well so you can make the most of our annual trip to the running and wine festival. 

Here's to a great autumn

We hope that wherever you are this autumn you can get outside, move, meet others and feel amazing. Get plenty fresh air (here's why) and remember that even just one run a week can make a difference (i've written about that here too).
