GoodGym Lambeth Run Report: Operation Soggy Spruce-Up! 🌧️💪

What a turnout! Despite Mother Nature’s best efforts to rain on our parade (literally), our incredible crew showed up in drench-force! 🌊 Everyone arrived looking like they’d already done a charity swim, but that didn’t dampen our spirits one bit!

*The Mission: Time to give our beloved base at Papa’s Park some serious TLC. *

We weeded out the competition (literally - those pesky plants didn’t stand a chance!), gave the place a good litter pick, and showed those railings what elbow grease really means. They’re now so clean you could eat your dinner off them… though we don’t recommend it! 🍽️✨

The Result: Those railings are absolutely railing it now - shinier than a new penny and gleaming with pride! ❤️ Papa’s Park is looking park-ticularly magnificent thanks to our green-thumbed heroes.

The Vibes: Despite being absolutely soaked to the bone, the chat was flowing faster than the rainwater, and the energy was absolutely TOP TIER! 💪🏼🍾 Nothing says team bonding quite like squelching around together in soggy trainers, am I right?

Proof that GoodGym Lambeth doesn’t let a little (okay, a LOT of) rain stop us from making our community bloom! 🌱🌟​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Brenda and Susan will turn up and do good even when sessions aren't listed - true GG heroes - go guys!!

Today, the preparation for tomorrow's customer handout will be minimal.

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report: Flyering in the Drizzle 🌧️

Mission: Spread the GoodGym love (and flyers) across Lambeth Weather: Grizzly drizzly (aka British summer preview) Mood: Absolutely soaking in good vibes ✨

Fresh off crushing our January Challenge targets 💪🏼🍾, we decided to ride that wave of positive energy straight into… well, an actual wave of rain. Because nothing says “let’s go outside” quite like horizontal drizzle, right? 😅

But did the weather dampen our spirits? Mist- ifyingly not! (Sorry, had to get that one out of my system 🎺)

Our superhero squad of Marie (Poppins - practically perfect in every way ☂️), Noelle, and Katie braved the elements to leaf-let the good people of Lambeth know about their local community fitness miracle workers.

We may have been getting soggy, but our enthusiasm was waterproof! 💧 Sure, the rain didn’t exactly flyer us up with motivation at first, but there’s something special about delivering these little paper ambassadors to our neighbours. Every letterbox is a potential new runner, every flyer a future friend getting fit while doing good ❤️

Mission status: Smashed it (just like our hair, which was thoroughly -smashed by the rain) Pun count: Too many to count

Community spirit: 11/10 would drizzle again 🌈

Keep being legendary, team! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Today three GG-ers were very much needed at Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre foodbank to assist the core team in delivery the service. The other two GG-ers assisted in setting up the session. Great teamwork makes the dream work!
