Ben Margerison completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.

Ben has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

Agnes Riley Gardens - Pond Weed Warriors!

This week, our magnificent GoodGymers wheely outdid themselves at Agnes Riley Gardens! ๐Ÿ’š

We joined forces with Harriet and the Friends of the Gardens for some serious pond-to-compost action. The mission? Transport mountains of freshly dredged pond weeds to their final resting place. It was time to get mucky! ๐ŸŒฟ

The Dream Team ๐Ÿ‘

A huge welcome to our fabulous first-timers Omkar and Bill - you absolutely smashed it! We hope this is just the beginning of your GoodGym journey. Youโ€™ve set the bar-row very high! ๐ŸŽ‰

Our legendary regulars were back and better than ever: Ben, Perdie, Fi, Adam, and the amazing Tilly, who blessed us all with her heavenly brownies and meringue cookies (because nothing says โ€œwell doneโ€ like sugar and carbs after manual labour!). ๐Ÿช๐ŸคŽ

The Task ๐Ÿ’ช

Armed with garden forks, spades, and brooms, we got straight to work loading up our trusty wheelbarrows - affectionately dubbed Barrow Obama, Wheeliam Shakespeare, and Scarlett Jobarrowson - and sprinted them over to the compost heap. It was basically CrossFit meets gardening, and we were here for it!

Special Guest Appearance ๐ŸฆŽ

Mid-mission, we discovered an adorable pond newt (now officially named Isaac Newt-on) chilling in the weeds. After a brief photoshoot, Sir Newt-on was safely returned to his watery kingdom. Long may he reign! ๐Ÿ‘‘

The Verdict โœจ

Another fantastic evening of fitness, friendship, and freshly cleared ponds! The gardens are looking gorgeous, our legs got a serious workout, and we all left with muddy trainers and massive smiles.

Until next week, GoodGymers! Keep running, keep doing good! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

A Manure-ficent Adventure! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

Mission: Brixton Windmill Allotments Support

This week our fantastic crew of do-gooders traded their usual pavement pounding for some serious dirt work at Brixton Windmill Allotments! ๐ŸŒพ

The Mission Brief ๐Ÿ“‹

Our wonderful community member Annick needed a helping hand (or seven!) with some essential gardening tasks. We were ready to get our hands dirty - literally!

What We Got Up To ๐Ÿ’ช

  • Manure Madness: We shovelled mountains of the good stuff into wheelbarrows. It was a crappy job, but someone had to do it! ๐Ÿ’ฉ
  • Spreading the Love: Distributed said manure across the planting patches and bathtub garden - talk about fertilizing friendships! ๐ŸŒฑ
  • Apple-solutely Essential Work: Collected apples for both composting and juicing. We really apple-ied ourselves to the task! ๐ŸŽ

Star Performers โญ

We were absolutely thrilled to welcome Andrej to his very first GoodGym session - what a way to break yourself in! Welcome to the family! ๐ŸŽ‰

Huge shoutout to Anna who arrived looking the business in her official GG running jacket - she was definitely dressed for success! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธโœจ

And of course, our regular dream team was out in full force: Katie, Ben, and Michael - you legends never fail to turnip when we need you! ๐Ÿฅ•

The Verdict ๐Ÿ†

Another ground-breaking session in the books! We left Annickโ€™s allotment looking berry good indeed. Until next time, keep on running and doing good!

Keep calm and GoodGym on! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

A Blooming Lovely Evening with Lambeth GG Crew !!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ This week our lovely bunch of fitness fanatics and gardening gladiators headed to Landor Road Allotments to lend Valcie a helping hand - and boy, did we dig right in! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’จ

The Tasks That Made Us Grow ๐ŸŒฟ

Our green-fingered gang tackled:

  • Weeding - We really got to the root of the problem! ๐ŸŒพ
  • Chopping - Nothing like a good chop to get the heart pumping! โœ‚๏ธ
  • Watering - Keeping things flowing smoothly ๐Ÿ’ง
  • Edging - We were really on the edge of our โ€ฆ beds! ๐ŸŒธ
  • Litter picking - Because weโ€™re absolutely rubbish at leaving a mess behind! ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

The team worked so hard, you could say we were absolutely plant-astic! ๐ŸŒป

The Berry Best Part - Late Summer Social! ๐Ÿฅณ

But wait, thereโ€™s more! The real magic happened when the sun went down and the party vibes came up! Our late summer social was absolutely mint to be! ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

Everyone brought something delicious to share (because good food + good people = thyme well spent! โฐ๐ŸŒฟ). We spread out under the stars for an evening picnic that was simply un-beet-able! ๐Ÿฅ—๐ŸŽต

The 90s playlist had everyone feeling nostalgic - from Blue Dabadee to Gangsters Paradise, we were grow-ving to the beat all night long! ๐ŸŽถ And yes, there may have been some questionable karaoke performances under the lamplight that had us all in stitches (the good kind, not the running kind!) ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ’ก

The Verdict ๐Ÿ†

A lovely time was had by all, and we proved once again that the best way to turnip the fun is by mixing fitness, community service, and good friends!

Until next week, keep on running and keep on growing! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’š

The Root of All Good: Papa's Park Edition !!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

Well, well, well... what do you know? Our usual standing task decided to leaf us hanging this week! ๐Ÿƒ But did we let that weed us out? Absolutely not! Instead, we rose to the occasion and headed to Papa's Park for some proper gardening action.

The Route That Took Root

Our fabulous crew laced up for a scenic 2km loop to Clapham and back - because nothing says "warm-up" like a gentle jog before you get down and dirty with some serious weeding!

Operation Dandelion Destruction

Once we arrived at Papa's Park, we split into two crack teams of vegetation vigilantes:

Team Planter Power took on the inside job - pulling weeds and taming the escaped greenery around the planters. These green-fingered heroes really knew how to turnip the heat! ๐ŸŒฟ

Team Perimeter Patrol tackled the wild frontier along the outside edge, hacking away at the rebellious weeds that had clearly been growing a bit too big for their boots. Talk about mint to be! ๐ŸŒฑ

Special Shout-Out Corner

We're absolutely Dan-de-lighted to have Dan back with us tonight! ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ Fresh from his Superman audition for the new movie (seriously, Dan, please don't do your own stunts - we need you in one piece for future weeding missions!). His return really helped us turnip the energy levels!

The Dirt on Tonight

Another classic GoodGym session in the books! We came, we saw, we weeded - and Papa's Park is looking fresh thanks to our green-thumbed heroes.

Until next week, keep growing that GoodGym spirit!

Remember: We're not just running from our problems - we're running TO make a difference! ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒŸ
