It was another busy night in Wandsworth yesterday, featuring a bit of thinking outside the (cardboard) box, a lovely visit from Cardiff GGers, a beautiful plough moon and the monthly pub quiz!

It all kicked off with some cheering for Annabel and Pritesh, who smashed the Olympic park half marathon yesterday, a reminder that there are two Missions this weekend, and welcoming Ben to his first ever GoodGym session. We then did our warm up, each had a guess at which country has the most islands (well done Felix!) and then set off for Doddington community garden.

We arrived soon after to find Beth, Johnnie, Catherine and Veronica already hard at work, and settled down to the tasks. These included pulling mallow, clearing grass, digging a trench (lovely job, Johnnie!) and laying down cardboard.

Turns out that it was the perfect day to be doing it - the plough moon traditionally marks the beginning of the growing season. We couldn't have timed it better! With such high energy levels we whipped through the jobs. Check out the very impressive before and after shots!

Not quite finished, we headed down to the square for fitness. This week we got competitive, pairing up for a challenge that involved dashing round the circuit combined with strength exercises. There was some amazing form from everybody, but Jordan and Felix's tactical approach saw them take gold. Great work everybody.

Next week we're back at Larkhall to do some prepping and planting - hope to see you there!

We had some amazing milestones to celebrate last night, with Ali earning her GoodGym wings by doing an incredible 100 good deeds, and Jordan getting to 300 good deeds. Such an achievement making a really big difference in Wandsworth - give them a cheer! And while you're at it, please put your hands together for Catherine and Jack who both came along for their first GoodGym session - brilliant to have you both join us.

We started off the night with a warm up and a reminder about this session coming up on Saturday. This is a big task and we really need some more helping hands -it's going to be a great workout and one that has a big impact at a local nursery school.

After a short run down to Doddington, we were met by Malissa, who divided us up into groups and got the tasks underway. From strawberry snipping to raking, mallow pulling to weeding and planting there was plenty to do. Not forgetting some more work on those infamous orange planters that have made it into GoodGym history! This time these colourful yet massive planters needed yet more shifting about and some compost dug out of them. We' ll be back before long to plant in them.

After a good stint in the garden it was time for our fitness. Teaming up into partners we alternated from and upper body to lower body focus, keeping the intensity high and getting all those muscles working.

Great job everybody!

Next week we're off to the scout hall - hope to see you there!

It was lights, camera and plenty of action last night in Wandsworth as we not only had a busy session at our regular Doddington task, but we had our monthly pub quiz and a visit from the global press. What a way to kick off the week!

We started the evening with our usual warm ups, and a run down of all the news. Well done to everybody who came to Sunday's mission where we grappled with an enormous sand pit - if that's given you the fomo (fear of missioning out), then why not sign up to this great Saturday mission in Streatham clearing out Unigate woods.

After getting our muscles warmed up for the run ahead, we did a few sprints up and down the hill, and, blinded by the bright lights of the cameras I forgot our regular name, number and question of the week. Sorry about that - although it did mean we got an extra run up and down that hill. Silver linings?

After a quick run down to the task we were met by Malissa, who deployed us around the garden to tackle various jobs. Doddington roof garden is a beautiful area used by local people who don't necessarily have access to green space to grow their own fruit and veg. It is used for community events, kids clubs and is a real urban oasis. It is great to see how it changes and evolves every month when we come for our regular session - and there is always plenty to do!

We were soon busy shifting an enormous barbeque, stripping grass, pulling up mallow and turning compost. In between jobs Catherine, Sophie and Jason were interviewed by the AP, revealing themselves to be consummate professionals in front of the camera.

The time flew by and before long we downed tools, waved goodbye to the Doddington team and headed down to the square for our fitness session. This week we tested our brains and body with a group challenge featuring maths and squats, before moving on to our cardio and conditioning workout. Great effort, everybody.

While some of us ran back to the BAC for stretches and one final run up that hill (that must be some kind of record), the rest of the group ran to the pub to reserve our space for the pub quiz. The rivalry was definitely heating up, and it was a strong performance by both GG teams.

Next week we're back to Larkhall park for some lifting and shifting. If you needed any extra motivation, we've completed 42 of our 125 good deeds target, and have run a 25% of our distance goal for January. We're already almost half way through January - can you help us make it?

Great session, hope to see you at the next one!

For our first run of the month, and with the countdown to Christmas well and truly underway, we were back at the beautiful Doddington roof garden.

To kick off the night we welcomed Salaheddine to his first session - lovely to meet you Salaheddine and great having you join us last night!

We did a warm up and discussed our favourite Christmas songs, which ranged from Jingle Bells (in multiple languages) to East 17's classic, Stay. A very diverse mix of festive bangers!

We ran down to the task, stopping to check out one of the tasks for the evening - a massive tonne bag of soil that was looking for a good home! With our eyes on the prize we carried on to the garden, where half the group grabbed tools and went back for the soil, and the other half got on with jobs on site.

While Sophie, Salaheddine, Jordan, Johnnie and Jason tackled the composting and path digging at the roof garden, Catherine, Felix, Matthew, Annabel, Letizia, Steph and Beth were busy digging soil into tugs and wheelbarrows before transporting the heavy mud the kilometer back to Doddington - talk about a good workout! Great to see that the soil - which turned out to be fantastic quality - was put to good use rather than being wasted.

After all that hard work it was almost time to wrap up - but not before a fitness session which really tested our lower body. Featuring pogos, curtsy lunges, squats and jacks we did a five minute finisher which challenged those leg muscles! Great work everybody.

Half of us ran back for stretches while the other half successfully represented GoodGym at the quiz - a job well done all round.

I mentioned a lovely mission happening next Tuesday at the oldest church in Battersea. If you fancy a night helping out at this beautiful location raising funds for the brilliant Katherine Lowe Settlement then please sign up here.

We were back at Doddington for our regular task last night and it was the second consecutive super moon session - but this time it was no ordinary super moon. It was a super beaver moon, the brightest yet this year!

We met as usual at the BAC, where we got to welcome Alice to her first GoodGym session - great to have you join us!

We did a quick warm up where we discussed dog (and one cat) breeds before heading off by the light of the moon to the garden.

As always there were plenty of jobs to do, including leaf clearing, grass pulling and hedge trimming. We divided up into groups and got to work.

The time flew by and before we knew it we just had time to down tools and do our fitness session in the square. This week it was tabata - think fast, dynamic exercises for short bursts. There were lateral leaps, there were squat jumps, there were more steps than you could count. Great effort everybody!

If you've got some time to spare this Saturday and/or next Saturday and would like to help out again at Doddington, please join the weekend sessions - it's a great way to kick off the weekend!

Next Monday we're heading to help create a mud club for under fives - plus a double celebration. See you there!

Last night our trip to Doddington community garden happened by the bright light of a full supermoon, an event which is said to have some peculiar effects on our behaviour...

With the moon at its closest point to us earthlings in its orbit, it is much bigger and brighter than normal - very handy for tasks happening as the nights draw in. It meant that we could strip away the bindweed, cut back the willow tree, prune the roses, sweep the maze of leaves and dig in several plants much more easily as the light faded.

Apparently the proximity of the moon and its increased lunar energy also means that we are more active. That explains the high levels of power and strength on display during our glute based fitness session. With record speed we knocked out split squat pulses, high knees, fast feet and plie squats.

The energy levels did not stop there as we channeled this heightened alertness into our monthly post task pub quiz, where Team GGW ran home with the silver. A tre-moon-dous session all round!

This weekend we have several community missions to choose from, including two session to help set up and close down a celebration of Africa market in Battersea.

If you're available tonight, we are still looking for some help at the oldest youth club in the world, be great if you could help make it happen!

Next week we have a very special new task - find out more right here.
