Another GoodGym favourite session at TRAID Walthamstow!

Upon arrival, we were instructed to get to work packing hangers away into large cardboard boxes and stacking them on packing crates to be shipped off.

After making light work of the first task, we set about loading piles of clothing into even bigger boxes to be sealed, lablleled and sent off. While not the easiest job for anyone unable to see over 5'7, Ercole took the lead on filling the taller boxes. While the boxes continued to pile up, Ramon shared his legendary knowledge on all things stretching, physio and discipline (seriously, if you're not up for the missions, at least come from the free PT sessions!)

Our superhero Helen arrived just in time for everyone's favourite part of TRAID missions: dressing up. While rifling through the smaller boxes to sort the clothing from the accessories, the team came across a few pieces that we just had to try on (hilarious photos to follow).

After a good fashion show and even better organising, we were done, dusted (literally) and ready to head home. TRAID sessions are always a group favourite and there are a few throughout the year so if this sounds like fun to you, keep an eye on the website!
