Happy birthday to us Happy birthday to us Happy birthday dear GoodGym Wandsworth Happy birthday to us!

Last night we turned a massive FIVE YEARS OLD. We're all grown up! Over the years we have been very busy doing

  • 7727 GOOD DEEDS

  • 572 missions to help older people

  • 101 373 km run

Phenomenal stats, I think you'll agree! If you want to read just how far we've come then have a look at the very first run report here.

We celebrated last night by welcoming (Rishta to her very first group run - great to have you join us! We also cheered Lorna who reached that brilliant 100 good deed milestone - what an achievement! And of course, we had a lovely task ahead of us helping out at a rooftop community garden.

After a short run down there we were met by volunteer Malissa who got us working on several jobs. While one group got started sweeping and clearing weeds, the rest got stuck into the compost, discovering some monster spiders along the way.

We were watched by several curious cats who have made the garden their home, and before long, and slightly muddier than when we started, the job was done.

Before we left we did an Olympics themed fitness session, which saw the Refugee Olympic Team compete against the Russian Olympic Committee and both emerge with gold as join winners.

We finished off a lovely birthday evening with a run back, some stretches and a social at the local. What could be better! Well done everybody - here's to the next five years of getting fit and doing good!
