About this session
Want to do something useful with your exercise? GoodGym Hounslow is a group of local residents who get fit by doing good.
This week, we are running down to Duke's Meadows for a brilliant community project! We will be working hard to clear out overgrowth and tidy up an overgrown area so it can be safely opened up as a dedicated space for local young people. Your muscle power will directly help create a safe environment for youth activities!
- ๐ป Toilets and changing rooms are available at the start inside Chiswick Town Hall.
- ๐ Please note there is no secure storage space for bags, so please only bring what you can comfortably run with!
The Plan
- 6:30 PM: Meet at Chiswick Town Hall for a quick briefing and a fun, dynamic warm-up.
- 6:40 PM: Run, walk, or cycle together as a group down to Duke's Meadows.
- 6:55 PM: Smash a 35-minute physical task cutting back brambles, clearing debris, and opening up the space.
- 7:30 PM: Head back towards the Town Hall with a short fitness session along the way.
- 7:50 PM: Arrive back for a thorough cool-down stretch.
- 8:00 PM: Session wraps up.
๐ป Social Afterwards!
Once we are all stretched out, we will be heading over to a local pub for a social drink, food and a chat. Everyone is very welcome to join us, whether it is your 1st session or your 1000th!
What to bring
- ๐ Comfortable running shoes and exercise clothing you don't mind getting a bit dirty.
- ๐งค A pair of tough gardening or work gloves (if you don't have any we will find you some).
- ๐ฆ A headlamp or high-vis gear, as the evening will get dark while we are working.

here's space to change and leave bags and toilets.

Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at Chiswick Town Hall, and Chiswick Town Hall and GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses or damages
