Everyone! The greater diversity, the better the club will be. 

Jove (pronounced Jo-vee…) is inspired by a combination of important ideas; joint adventure - we’re on a journey together both literally and metaphorically;  jovial - Jove Club should be a fun group to be a member of and where real friendships are forged. Jove was also the Latin name for the Roman god, Jupiter - god of the sky.

It’s easy to get siloed and get stuck in a rut with the same routines - the same boring gym session, the same pub for post work drinks, repetitive weekends in London; doing different activities ensures we expand our horizons and connect with new people.

Through Jove Club, you can be exposed to a range of activities, all of which are fun and rewarding for different reasons. It’s far more fulfilling to be able to run with the runners, climb with the climbers and cycle with the cyclists!

Perhaps you’re only interested in improving your running and running events - no problem! Jove Club members can join in with whatever they like and always have the option to try something else, attend the socials and come on a Jove Adventure trip.

The socials will vary and we encourage members to attend as often as they are able. They could range from playing games over a beer and a chat to throwing a rugby ball around on a sunny day! On occasion, we’d love you to bring your partners and family. Keep an eye out for specific details ahead of time.

Absolutely not - the aim of Jove Club is to show people of all ability levels they’re capable of achieving more than they thought was possible and learn to explore the world differently.

We try to make Jove Club as accessible as possible and so many of the sessions are included in the membership fee (Pioneer members). For activities that require a venue or an external instructor, we’ve negotiated a discounted rate vs going directly.  

To make the most out of Jove Club’s London element, we’d recommend doing two Jove Run sessions per week along with one Jove Fitness and one Jove Climb.

As for Jove Adventure, join us for as many trips as you like! This is what Jove Club is all about!

This is the highlight of Jove Club. Trips will focus on being outdoors and seeing beautiful places. They could range from hiking and running trips in remote parts of Scotland, to rock climbing or kayaking and more. We’ll also embark on physical challenge events which could be anything from The Three Peaks to marathons.  

The overall aim of Jove Adventure is to share experiences and foster teamwork in challenging, but fun situations. There’s no better time to put the world to rights than on a long hike or around a campsite.  

It’s simple, for every friend you refer who becomes a Jove Pioneer, you’ll get a month of membership for free! So if you sign up 12 new members, then your membership is free for a year!

As much as Jove Club aims to take care of physical health, we also take an interest in mental wellbeing

We hope that by creating a team bonded around shared activity, Jove Club will help our members find meaning, belonging, and purpose outside of work and family. We aim to foster a sense of community, where members support each other and build strong, positive connections.

Jove Run + Jove Fitness. These activities operate in Battersea Park initially but as memberships grow and if there’s demand, we’ll quickly expand to other parts of London.

Jove Climb. We use VauxWall East but once we start opening other areas, we can make use of other climbing walls.

Jove Social. Variety of locations across London! Look out for specific details. 

Jove Adventure. Jove Adventure trips will range in type and duration so please keep an eye out on our events page. Once we have greater scale, we’ll take on international challenges and trips.

As Jove Club grows, we will expand our locations to reach different parts of London and beyond. Our aspiration is to organise international trips for Jove Adventure.
