Tonight we ran over to Kemp Town to visit Somerset Point, a residence for older adults. They've had lots of work done to their communal garden, giving them a fab green space to enjoy. We were joined there by a couple of our fellow GoodGymers who had cycled to the task 🚲

Rob and Sherman got to work clearing rogue grass from the flower beds and raking in some topsoil. Meanwhile, the rest of us were round the corner weeding, litter picking, and trimming bushes to keep the baths looking tidy and free from trip hazards, so residents can enjoy their green space in the summer heat.

After bagging up the rubbish we battled through an 8 minute Tabata workout, featuring squat jumps, mountain climbers, skate lunges and planking (with the added thrill of dodging the dog poo 💩). After all that hard work it was time to head to the pub, where Michelle had booked us in for our monthly social 🙌
