Get your skates on!

Westminster Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

After many visits to the oldest youth centre in the world, we thought we knew it pretty well. But the tardis-like building still has some surprises in store for us! Kamil and I were led through the busy foyer (with kids playing a very fun looking sweetie-based version of the traditional bar game Beerpong!) to find yet another storage space that we had never seen before.

This area is used to store music equipment and more roller skates and blades than we had ever seen in one place before! Our jobs was to sort out the equipment so that is was accessible and ordered.

We got to work pairing up the shoes and trying to create space to fit everything in neatly. Kamil discovered a very cool pair that lit up when used, and we paired up every set in size and style.

It was a strangely satisfying task, and once all the symbols and music equipment in, it was very pleasing to see all the skates lined up neatly for the kids to use. We even resisted taken them for a spin round the room ourselves!

A beauti -full Moonday task

Wandsworth Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

Last night our trip to Doddington community garden happened by the bright light of a full supermoon, an event which is said to have some peculiar effects on our behaviour...

With the moon at its closest point to us earthlings in its orbit, it is much bigger and brighter than normal - very handy for tasks happening as the nights draw in. It meant that we could strip away the bindweed, cut back the willow tree, prune the roses, sweep the maze of leaves and dig in several plants much more easily as the light faded.

Apparently the proximity of the moon and its increased lunar energy also means that we are more active. That explains the high levels of power and strength on display during our glute based fitness session. With record speed we knocked out split squat pulses, high knees, fast feet and plie squats.

The energy levels did not stop there as we channeled this heightened alertness into our monthly post task pub quiz, where Team GGW ran home with the silver. A tre-moon-dous session all round!

This weekend we have several community missions to choose from, including two session to help set up and close down a celebration of Africa market in Battersea.

If you're available tonight, we are still looking for some help at the oldest youth club in the world, be great if you could help make it happen!

Next week we have a very special new task - find out more right here.

Going the whole (hedge)hog!

Hounslow Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

Racing celebrations, a huge task under the light of a beautiful moon, and a star turn from a rarely spotted inhabitant of Chiswick House made for a great Wednesday night at GoodGym Hounslow!

Thanks to Michelle for leading the warm up, before we kicked off the evening with a short run to our regular task. We were fresh off the back of some great races at the weekend - a huge well done to Chris, Tish, Matt, Eloise and Steph for a fantastic run at the Vitality 10km, and to Alan and Florian for smashing the Ealing Half!

We arrived at a secret door to meet Chiswick House gardener Chris, who took us to a new spot or the group - the bee hives. The bees produce honey which is sold in the shop to raise money for the charity, and they want to make the area more accessible for school kids. Enter GoodGym!

The aim of the game was to remove all the undergrowth and anything else that was getting in the way. Everything had to go to create a new pathway, and with the green flag from Chris to adopt a scorched earth policy, we got to work!

We pulled, lopped and cleared, slowly but surely revealing a large area of land. Half way through the task, our mystery guest made an appearance - well done to Ariane for safely uncovering and rehoming a gorgeous hedgehog! He was in very safe hands, and was soon happily snuffling his way back to the woods.

By the end the task the area was truly transformed, great work everybody. We ran and walked back to base, where there was the option of a static core workout using the benches by the rockery. We worked our obliques, lower back and abs with a series of (slightly damp) exercises.

Next week we're off to Harvard Hill for some more gardening - please bring headtorches if you have them as this is a dark task.

An iris-istable task

Westminster Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)

it was our first visit to a brand new task last night- at the amazing Abbey community centre. This community hub in the middle of Victoria offers support, meals, advice and classes to everybody in the local area from babies to the elderly. It was established in 1948 and works with local organisations that share ethics, values and pa assion for social justice. As we walked through the busy,happy building we had a glimpse of the activities happening to improve the heath and wellbeing of vulnerable residents by promoting community and togetherness.

We were led through the huge maze like building - interestingly it used to be a Victorian bathhouse - to find the hidden gem of a therapy garden. Our job for the evening was to plant 11 big terracotta pots full of spring flowers, including iris, tulips and hyacinths. It was a very soothing task enhanced by the music from the dance class happening in the room right by us. We watered them all in - and cant wait to see how they brighten up the area come spring! We'll be back at the centre next month for our regular visit to work in the garden.

Next week we're back to the oldest youth club in the world - hope to see you there!
