Today 2 GoodGymers headed down to the new community sauna to help prepare the site by doing ground work (moving a tonne of soil between places, de-weeding), building a cold plunge pool and a covered area to store wood for burning in the sauna. We can't wait for it to open!

It was great to have such a big group tonight, with 15 GoodGymers running up to Bedford Fields to do various jobs. It wouldn't be Bedford Fields without a wood chip workout, so we wood chipped all the paths, cleared and chopped up debris, sieved soil & Jubz dug a big hole to lay a pipe and then filled it all back in.

Welcome to newcomers Annie & Laura & welcome back to Kawan who last joined us in 2020 (thanks for the bike ride)!

Thanks all & great work everyone.

What a great night with the GoodGym Leeds gang! Last night, we met at Heart and ran up to Beckett Park, where we finally got to play a game of rounders. it was great fun and we definitely got better the more we played! Even though there were less people on Helen's team, they still won with 8 rounders over our 6.5...Well done guys! Everyone loved the game, so this is something we're going to do more of now the nights are lighter.
We finished off by running up to the Wetherspoons for a drink & some chips. Thanks for a great night all & welcome to an honorary member for the night, Jack.

Today, a few of the gang met at Bedford Fields for their re-opening party. It was sighthound central with Helen's beautiful Louie, the full size greyhound & my two tiny Italian greyhound's Elphie and Arlagh. They seemed to like each other but Elphie was rather dramatic over the fire so I had to take her home! It was lovely to see everyone:)

Tonight, 11 GoodGymers celebrated the return of the lighter evenings! It's felt like a long winter, so spirits were high tonight.

We headed up to Stainbeck United Reformed Church to clear an area of brambles by the car park. We pruned, trimmed, brushed, litter picked & filled 3 huge sacks of debris. We could notice a huge difference when we left, well done team! Lydia got stuck into the brambles, picking all sorts of weird & wonderful things out including a car wheel, a radio & several items of clothing.

Helen took us on a magical mystery tour on the run back to Heart, encountering a bomb shelter & two horses who didn't bat an eyelid as we ran through their field. We must have made friends since last time!

Welcome to David who joined us this evening and Lyn who organised the session.

Great work team!

This evening, 12 GoodGymers came together to do a quick clean at Heart before using the space for our second group sound bath.

I'd like to thank everyone for helping me out with my training to become a sound bath practitioner. For two group case studies, I've had a very willing group of GoodGym members as participants:)

The space isn't ideal as there was some distractions so I would need a quieter space next time.

Lovely to see Tav visiting from GoodGym Colchester & it was also good to see some weekenders join us on a Wednesday too.

We finished off with a search for a phone and a drink in the bar where we talked about Jubz's new car...I even got a guided tour!
