If a group has a properly discontinuous group action by isometries that is also a cocompact group action on a nonempty proper metric space that is a geodesic metric space, then the group is finitely generated and every orbit map from the word metric for any finite generating set of a group is a quasi-isometry. Finite stabilizers are permitted.
