3 brand new GoodGymers joined 11 old timers last night to help at Ealing Foodbank!

A big welcome to Tom, Rachel and Marline who all joined the ranks of amazing last night by using their evening to run and help in their community for the first time.

With so many new faces we kicked off proceedings by getting the know each other a bit better, we love a 'what's your favourite...' question and this week we went with smoothies. The group are obviously still on a health kick after last weeks legumes discussion! We had everything from peanut butter and almond (ummm....hello!) to spinach which was met with disgust from a few members of the group but each to their own!

We then headed off en route to Ealing Foodbank starting with a few file sprint drills through the park to kick the legs into gear before continuing on the rest of our run where Hillary from the resource was eagerly awaiting our arrival! She had a mix of tasks for us to do including some sorting and cleaning in the warehouse and then a hell of a lot of weeding in the outside area. Instructions were to go to town and get right down to the roots on those nasty weeds!

No time wasting last night as everyone sprung into action across the site to tick off all the jobs!

40 minutes went by and as if by magic (and a huge amount of (wo)man power) the site was looking spick and span which left us enough time for a the run back AND a lovely partner core workout in Wapole Park, it's official GoodGym gets you summer bod ready!
