On behalf of GoodGym, five members, Anne, Wayne, Agathe, Stephanie, and Nadia, embarked on their first-ever cleanup mission at the Westfield community fridge. The group combined fitness with community service, running a total of 2.7 km (1.35 km each way) to and from the location.

Upon arrival, the group got to work, scrubbing 🧽 and sanitizing the fridge. Reverend Rachel shared with us that the community fridge has been having a significant impact, with increasing demand as of late. Despite the growing usage, the group's efforts transformed the fridge room into a spotless space ✨

The group's hard work and dedication were evident in the sparkling clean fridge room. With plans to return soon, the community fridge will continue to benefit from GoodGym's efforts. The run and cleanup not only contributed to the community but also provided an opportunity for the members to stay active 🏃‍♀️👟 and engaged in giving back.

What a fantastic turn out for the mission at Woking Foodbank as 13 GoodGymers turned up to do a deep clean. The Foodbank is one of our regular and most popular missions where we usually clean the floors and wipe the surfaces. But Kirsty had the great idea to do a deep clean of all the shelves and fridge etc. Because there were so many of us it didn't take too long and we ended the evening with the traditional photo on the staircase. A massive cheer to Rob and Stephanie for their second mission with Woking GoodGym and to Julie for reaching 50 good deeds. We can't wait to see you in the black t-shirt Julie. Also a massive well done to Luan who ran non-stop from the Foodbank back to the meeting point at the leisure centre after a break in running. You are officially a runner now Luan.

Great work done under warm weather with Katie, Anne, Wayne join me ( Agathe) to help the RSPCA centre cutting brambles around one of the dogs' compound.

Glad to hear Anne spent a lovely time seeing family in France while Wayne is looking forward to going on holiday in Dubai in August, and our Katie is soon going to be a mother!

Anne and Agathe ended up walking a bit afterwards talking in frogs' language and debating about Molière! More seriously, we saw at least 7 rabbits or hares - as they were quite big - running around in the field, 3 horses, lots of birds and a magnificient doe jumping around like she was escaping a lion!! (it was just Anne and I, remember!)

Everyone is looking forward to running this Sunday at the Martian Race. I won’t be attending though but I wish you a merry Christm…(oops not yet!) Martian Race.Don’t forget to wear sunscreen as it’s going to be roasting!! :D

Tonight, five human GoodGymers and one canine GoodGymer took on not one, not two, but three tasks!

We were back at Knaphill Community Fridge, which seems to always bless us with a beautiful evening for our task. ☀️

Wayne and Alys took on the task of removing a rotting trellis and replacing it with a new one. Well actually…Wayne did all the drilling, and Alys just held the screws! Wayne also got his gloves on to clear out toys and balls that children from the nursery had poked through the gaps. No doubt it won’t take long for more to gather there…

Meanwhile, Julie, Nadia and Agathe gave the community fridge a good ‘ol Spring clean, cleaning it from ceiling to floor (and window to wall).

A few of us also jumped in to replace one of the sides of the gazebo that has got a bit tattered over time. Quinn made sure to supervise this step!

We were kindly rewarded with a treat from Gail’s before heading home. 😀

It was great to have Agathe back after her trip to France. We missed Katie this week, who took a fleeting trip to Italy, Anne who is in France 🇫🇷 and we’ll be missing Nadia for the next few weeks whilst she’s in Japan 🇯🇵- have an amazing time! 🎌

On Sunday, there is not one, not two, but three tasks as well - Junior parkrun, Brookwood trains and wildflower sowing on Millmoor Common. Join us for one?
