It's been an eventful day at GoodGym Leeds. Today, Helen and Adam generously gave up their time to head to the studio at Yorkshire Voices to do a live segment on the benefits of exercise. They did a great job explaining what we do at GoodGym, well done guys.

Tonight we met at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre and had a 4.25Km run around Headingley. We then did a further promotional interview for Yorkshire Voices, where I accidentally talked about the benefits of the Strata app & their partnership with GoodGym. Rachael then politely told me I'd said Strata not Strava! (Strata are actually the builders I bought my house from)! Luckily, the filmmakers can edit that out & Rachael then talked about Strava the fitness app :)

The footage will be shared soon!

We finished off with a Headingley litter pick.

Well done everyone, it was a bit different today!

This morning 9 GoodGymers braved the bad weather to do Parkrun and a litterpick.

After joining the 795th Woodhouse Moor parkrun, we went for coffee and pastry at Coffee on the Crescent and then hit the streets for a 45 minute litter pick. The streets of Headingley were pretty bad litter wise so we got 8 full bags!

Welcome to Kirsty who attended her first session, it was great to meet you.

Well done to everyone else :)

Tonight 9 GoodGymers braved the cold temperatures to go out and help our local community.

One group led by Helen ran the streets of Headingley/Kirkstall & finished delivering the OWLS leaflets we started last week.

I led another group to do a local litter pick & we managed to get 4 bags full. Uzair & Ele nearly turned GoodGym into Fight Club as they got rather competitive with each other when picking!!

It was really nice to get together at the end to have a drink in the Heart bar. We should do that more often!

Welcome to newcomers Ele & Annie, it was great to meet you guys :)

Tonight 2 GoodGymers met at Headingley Enterprise and Art Centre & litter picked around Headingley. We got 2 full bags & covered many topics including wedding's, Christmas, IKEA kitchens & travelling!

Thanks for a nice night Katie & for the poses :)

What a great year it's been at GoodGym Leeds.

Tonight Man Alive, 5 GoodGymers played litter pick bingo around Headingley & Hyde Park.

Katie was the first to get Knock at the door, 4 in a row & was also the nearest to a full house of Sweet Sixteen with a Young & Keen, 15 ! Well done Katie!!

Adam did his Gordens Den, 10th mission tonight, congratulations Adam & thanks for all of your hard work.

We picked up so much litter with Tom Mix, 6 bags between us all.

Good work team!

On Wednesday 4 Goodgymers braved cold January weather and met in West Park ready to clear litter from the surrounding streets. We welcomed Zara on her first group run, well done on completing your first task!

We decided to walk this task as this gave the best opportunity to catch up and to get to know each other - to share our experiences of Goodgym and our current training. We are all looking forward to painting chairs at next weeks task.

Excellent teamwork was used to remove the crushed cans from the road, as they were being uncooperative and didn't want to be binned. After 45 mins of plogging we had sweeped through the streets and removed all of the litter that was in sight.

Well done everyone and we look forward to seeing you at next weeks task.
