4 good gym runners helped move bricks from the front to the back of the building at Dads Lane Community Centre in order to help complete a level paving area to be completed in the garden for wheelchair users.

We welcomed Megan who was a first time good gymer and enjoyed refreshments in some September evening sun whilst taking a mid way break.

Big thanks to Steve at Dads Lane Community Centre.

Tonight GoodGym Brum completed a trio of missions! Firstly we cleaned up at Dad's Lane/Pineapple House...are you ready for this list? We cleaned all the kitchen cabinets, the skirting boards, the walls, the chairs, the toys...we swept and scrubbed. It wasn't long before we got a call from BBC Radio WM who had been in touch earlier that day to arrange a chat, it felt so good telling them about what we do at GoodGym Brum!

After this we went on a run delivering leaflets for Moseley In Bloom. Thank you so much to Liam for arranging this, and prepping a wonderful run in the sun going from community notice board to notice board!

What a wonderful trio of good deeds! We headed back to the pub to enjoy the snacks Sarah @ Dad's Lane/Pineapple House had prepared for us, and even enjoyed a drink with the head honcho Steve down at the pub!

6 goodgymers (Amy, Christina, Sofeen, Ramiz, Morwenna and Iain) joined the friendly team at Dads Lane once again for a “sort out your life” style mission! We welcomed Christina to her first GoodGym mission as well!

We started by clearing an unsafe area of the garden consisting of planks of wood, bricks and general rubbish. We then levelled off this area with some shovelling and raking and weeding the area so we could lay flat paving stones and pallets.

We then formed a human brick chain passing the bricks from the old position to the new - switching every layer so each person moved up the chain! We made sure to turn every so often to even out those standing twist movements!

After a well deserved coffee and biscuit break we went back out and finished putting anything useful back on the pallets in a neat and orderly fashion.

The rest was organised in a pile for Steve to take to the tip. A massive difference was made and a good workout was had! The garden area is now safer for residents and children to play in.

After another cold day we all gathered at Dad's Lane Community Association (or the newly named Pineapple House, owing to it's location on Pineapple Road) to get stuck in with the weekly cleaning tasks.

Laura got to work cleaning the floors, while Eve removed marks from the walls. Liam and Annie were stuck in with sweeping and Morwenna, Ramiz & his friend (WELCOME!!) got stuck in giving the kitchen a deep clean.

After this we headed out on a 5km Run to the famous Bournville tree! It was so lovely chatting to Ramiz, and we hope you come back. I'll be sure to send an email follow-up and include some other activities in Brum to get stuck in with.

Thank you all for a lovely run!

On a rainy Tuesday evening we met at Dad's Lane for some brick moving! Amy was first to arrive, then Laura had run up (completing an impressive 4 miles!), and we all got stuck in , moving bricks from one pile in the front to the back garden. This is so that contractors can make a start on the paving (exciting!). Sofeen arrived shortly afterwards as a surprise addition to the crew, this was welcomed by all as it sped up the work as we implemented a rally with wheelbarrowers and stackers and tidyers. All this in the rain! Great work all!

Afterwards it was time for a hot drink in the warm and welcoming community centre that many Brum GoodGymers have helped to make into the space it is today.

We welcomed Hayley to GoodGym for the first time! This was also our first time doing a group run in Stirchley.

We met at Dads Lane Community Association which was a great place to check out our previous handiwork.

We then ran down to Hazelwell Park where Richard had bags, gloves and litterpicks for us! After a litter pick we did a 5k run together along the Rea before heading to British Oak for some refreshment.
