If you've never ended your Wednesday evening hot and sweaty on the steps of Chiswick Town Hall, with your hands covered in white talc from the inside of latex gloves, then, well, quite frankly you are missing out!

That's how we found ourselves tonight, after a great session in Hounslow. Six of us met as usual at the Town Hall - along with lovely Hounslow regulars Andy, Alanna, Toni and Alicia we said a huge hello to the super speedy Elliott who has joined us from Lambeth. Dream team! Give them a cheer, why don't you.

It was a short run to the Catholic Community Centre, which needed us to clear its blooming lovely outside area. Latex gloves at the ready, we got stuck straight in, and filled two bags with litter in record time. Ten minutes later the beds were rubbish free and we were done, ready to head over to Chiswick Common to smash out a fitness session. We took a little detour on the way to spread the GoodGym word and hit up a street with some of our Hounslow flyers.

We kicked off the session with a set of five flying thirties - concentrating on acceleration and of course looking at our technique - keeping our shoulders low and relaxed with positive backwards arm drive . Then we moved on to circuits, showcasing some perfect planks and even more super sprinting. With a quick core session, all that was left was for us to take a scenic jog home, with Alanna, Andy and Elliott leading the way in the setting sun through the park.

Next week not only do we have a great task - clearing junk at the amazing Friends of Cathja charity, which helps support those suffering from mental health issues in the community- but we are going to have the first official Hounslow social. How could you even think about missing out?! Sign up now:
