Brent Report written by Tabitha Skinner
On Monday evening Goodgym Brent met in Willesden , ready to return to one of our favourite tasks , Clitterhouse Farm House . We warmed up with a short round of dynamic exercises , then set of for a 2.3km run . Josh led the group , with Samina keeping up the pace. Anne Marie and Hannah supported eachother along the way, and Pete and Tabitha dragged along at the back. It was a rollercoaster ride but we made it in one piece , with red faces to match our t shirts .
Anika was eagerly awaiting our arrival , and had a choice of tasks waiting: weeding , pruning rosemary, spreading woodchip, breaking down cuttings for compost and cleaning the greenhouse windows .
We split the tasks and got to it , shortly joined by Kat and Lee who got stuck in immediately
We worked away until we began to lose daylight , stopped for a photo then jogged or walked back
We ended with a drink in Beer & burger and some more chips ... the edible kind
great job everyone !

Islington Report written by Simon Fitzmaurice
Our Goodgym team were thrilled to be invited back to Metro Blind Sports, along with a lot of our friends at our Achilles International weekly group runs. Metro Blind Sports is the UK's only athletics event hosted primarily for visually impaired athletes, a very important fixture to the sporting calender.
Events on offer included classic track distances (100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m and open relay), alongside high jump, long jump, shot put, javelin and discus. An incredible opportunity to witness inspiring performances from athletes traveling from far and wide to compete (experienced veterans and first timers welcomed and encouraged).
Our Goodgym crew were on hand to help with registration for athletes, coordination for events, support for competitors and judges and even guiding the runners, jumpers and throwers! Our Achilles International friends came away with an abundance of medals, PBs and big smiles- great job on a hot summer's day, guys!

With summer peaking through on a Monday, Tabitha, Amir, Samina and Josh welcomed the long awaited return of Karen at Beer & Burger. Before setting off to Clitterhouse Farm in Cricklewood.
With vitamin D a plenty, the group picked Kat up along the way and met Olympic walker Lee there. Arriving to a warm welcome and a task of ensuring the remnants of 3 tonnes of top soil dissipated across the gardens.
Gloves on, shovels ready, trimmers sharpened, and mower charged the crew took the task of managing soil like the bosses they are.
A strong momentum and turn out led to quick results for the volume of soil, leading to a few perspiring brows. Satisfied with the efforts and looking to catch Lee on the roads, the initial crew took off back to Beer and Burger for a well deserved beverage!

Meeting in high spirits outside Beer & Burger, Tabitha, Chris and Josh got warm to a high energy session from Run Leader! Taking off on a glide down the hill and through the park to Mora primary with a small breeze working with us. Soon to be met by Kat and Tania who walked to the session. The team meet concluded with Pete whipping in on his bicycle with a speed that would put Mark Cavendish to shame.
Bodies warm, rollers and brushes prepped the team got to work massaging a beautiful magnolia onto the creamed out bricks on the ground hallway. With many memories made and some experience showing on the walls, the paint job was a lovely maintenance effort keeping Mora primary looking radiant. With a few risks of paint spillage and cleaning liquid cans with holes a swath of wall was smeared with magnolia delight.
Proud of the speed applied on the session, Tabitha, Chris, Josh and Pete sped back to B&B fir a cool beverage. Whilst Kat and Tania walked home head held high!
