On a beautiful Saturday morning, four GoodGymers returned to one of our favourite tasks - helping Alex and Nadia (both pictured) at Weavers Adventure Playground.
Aine and Joanne set to work weeding, digging up lavender plants and re-planting them in planters - with feet planted firmly on the ground.
John and Eva's time passed quickly as they painted the shed, chatted and started planning the Tower Hamlets GoodGym Games. By the time they'd finished splashing the green paint around, they resembled the Incredible Hulk - but only in skin tone.
After most of us had finished, Aine and Eva showed they'd retained some of the basketball skills picked up as teenagers.
Eventually, someone managed to drag Joanne away from her watering can.
