*Here at Goodgym Colchester we are super proud of all of our members and participants whether they have done 1 or 500 good deeds. *

Goodgym is unique. We all have our reasons and we all have our motivations and we all share in our success.Between Frazer, Helen and Stuart the community has benefited 160 times. At Goodgym we like to help our members keep fit and healthy and whilst we love a PB or admire those who run a marathon, half marathon, 10k, Parkrun as well as a nice walk and a chat it is the good deeds that give so much depth and put an amazing perspective to our hard work. Well that is what I think anyway! :)

So what did Helen, Stuart and Frazer do to on this momentous night? They weeded and grouted a popular and picturesque urban riverside area. The drains and bridge footpath and the riverbank all look clearer and one corner is ready to spring into bloom. The team filled at least 5 bags with brambles, weeds and moss, swept up and went for a run up the hill!

We had a nice run and warm up in the Dutch Quarter and were all ready for some food and frolics after the task!

Part 2 of the evening was a social meal at noodle bar.
