9 energised GoodGymers ran 5k to work our magic on the Green Gym community garden.

Perfect conditions brought yoga magnificent group for the evenings fitness action!

Heading off on our crowd avoiding detour taking in some central London back streets on our 2.5k loop. Reaching the Oasis nice and swiftly we grabbed the watering cans and headed to fill with water but we had a mechanical problem and no outside tap was available! Undeterred we improvised and filled the cans and buckets from the outside showers 🚿.

Amazing to see so much growing has been going on in the last month with courgettes, carrots, sunflowers blooming big time and probably most impressively a large grape vine with bunches of grapes everywhere.

With the watering going well we started the tidy up getting the beds and surroundings looking immaculate with some ninja sweeping!

After 25 action packed minutes we were off to increase the fitness!

A little rewarm over to Bedford Square where we Will had chosen some key body parts to work on!! We crushed 15 minutes of high intensity circuits, smashing out any number of lunge variation to go with some powerful plyometric squats to focus on the Glutes then finishing off the circuit by running down the pyramid with some High fiving partner press ups.

With our legs singing we kept a steady running flow back to base where we stretched out before heading off into the night!

Be great to see you next week when we visit St Andrews youth Club!!

Have a great week!

14 sunshine drenched GoodGymers ran 7k to One Big Family homeless charity to prepare the food for the evenings homeless food run.

A glorious sunny evening caught many of us out with our running clothing so very handy to have the New Balance sale in full swing and many of the squad to full advantage!!

Heading out on out sight seeing tour of central London taking in Oxford Street, Mayfair, Green Park, Liz's house, Victoria and finally 3.5k later Ebury Youth Club!

Splitting up into groups we had the strong guns collecting water, while the sweet toothers tested their will power by bagging countless pastry's, doughnuts, apple pies, rhubarb pies, muffins and my favourite Cinnamon (don't) share buns.

While the cake slicers got sensory overload as the chopped up the most amazing smelling cakes in manageable pieces.

Great to see this tiny charity doing so well!! When we fist started visiting them there was minimal food and now the donations are huge allowing them to reach a much greater number of Westminsters homeless community!!

35 minutes of bagging action and we had cake mountains on the table tennis table to go with some pre packaged sandwiches and water.

Great team effort and even finishing in enough time to clean up our work stations!

With a job well done we headed off at a quicker pace flying up to Liz's house at a great pace really working at a speedy rhythm!

After a huge royal flyby with any number of dignitaries driving into the palace delaying our progress we decided to feed our legs some speed!! Hammering up the 600m Green Park drag we everyone feeling the satisfaction of the legendary gate touch!

A short jog back to base and stretch out had us done for the evening!

Thank you all for coming along and home to see you again next week when we visit Oasis Community garden to help keep the fruit, vegetables and herbs going. Sign up and come along!

Have a great week
