Monday Madness and "Mos-ACHING" Muscles

GoodGym Brent - The Mosaic Youth Centre clean up and shake down

The Brent brethren met up for week 4 (week PHWOAR) of GoodGym from Willesden Sports Centre.

After admiring Bodil’s legging and knee-high socks fashion combo, the crew stepped out for a two mile run to Mosaic, an LGBT youth centre in Kilburn. We were giving the place a good clean, making it spick and span for the service users.

On our way there, we split into a couple of different groups going at different speeds, but all maintaining the GoodGym supportive spirit. By the time we arrived at Mosaic, there were a few Mos-ACHING muscles but it was straight down to work at this LGBTerrific place.

It was all hands on deck as we swapped woolly gloves for rubber ones. We scrubbed the walls, mopped the floors, took out the bins and polished the mirrors (stopping to admire our physiques, especially Bodil in her new leggings). After half an hour’s cleaning, the job was declared a good’un by our Glorious Leader Ellie and we stepped outside.

Our quads were KilBURNing as we did some wall sits and Irish dancing off the curb!!

We set off back to Willesden Sports Centre in a couple of different groups. First timer Ravi was doing a sterling job and old hats Coralie and Laura were really pushing the pace at the front. A couple of errant members (Olivia and Bodil) briefly managed to get themselves lost and had a pleasant wander around Willesden’s suburbs before spotting Ellie and Ravi and reuniting like a scene from the Notebook. You just can’t keep the Brent GoodGymmers apart for long!!

All in all: the toilets are cleaner, and we’re looking leaner. That’s Goodgym Brent’s first month down – these January joiners are only just getting started!!!

Big thanks Bodil and Olivia for a wicked run report this week!!!!

Join us next week for a fantastic start to February!! Link
