Put your heart and soil into it...
9 GoodGymers made their way 4.0km to help their local community in Hackney.

Seasonal greetings from Hackney my friends.... This week we have another guest blogger joining us for the evening.... Introducing and thanking the lovely Sarah MeikleJohn
Last night, a group of us headed off to move some soil for Cordwainers community garden. After a massive trek of 0.2 miles we arrived, panting and out of breath (sarcasm), but with enough energy left to attack a huge pile of soil. We rotated between holding bin liners, putting soil into the held bin liners, and hauling said bin liners full of soil to their storage location near a shed. At some point a wheelbarrow appeared, thanks to my oh-so-rude acceptance of our host's generous offer, and we made short work of the task.
Afterwards, we were in for a surprise: burpees! The lovely Ellie, future trainer for the Brent goodgym, led us in these and a series of other fun exercises. We then did a figure-eight loop around London Fields, stretched a bit along the way and back at base, and headed off to the pub for a quick holiday pint. Great work everyone, have a happy Christmas, and see you all in the new year!
Look out for January taster sessions if you feel like given it a try, we know you want tooooo.... Hackney will be on 17th Januray at 2pm. ;-)
