First of all let's all give a big GoodGym cheer for Kymm and Eric who both came along for their first GG Hounslow session. We're so happy to have you join us for all the weeding, painting and planting that lies ahead!

We were back for our regular visit to Chiswick House last night. Not only do we get to support a beautiful space to stay open for everybody, but our regular sessions there means we get to see just how much and how quickly it changes. The last time we were at the garden by the cafe we were tackling thistles and bind weed, and we were shocked to see when we arrived the growth of the super tall golden grass.

The war against weeds is unrelenting, so we wasted no time getting started on all those intruders. There were plenty of thistles to pull, plus huge green stems of something unidentifiable (by me), and that bind weed which just gets....everywhere.

As always we chatted while we worked and our discussions were varied and wide ranging. We covered the upcoming Olympics, changing hair colours, and even how, as Gus told us, gardeners are healthier as they breathe in a bit of the soil while they work which actually increases nutrients!

We finished up just as the rain started and Kash displayed her patented method of getting as many weeds as possible in the bag - check out X for the video evidence! We hot footed it back to Turnham Green where we were greeted by the most beautiful double rainbow. I hope you all made a wish!

There was just time to squeeze in some running drills where we tried to beat the clock back to our original starting point, and then saw the evening off with some stretches.

Great job everybody! Next week we are going to wash the Turnham Green mural, and we also have this litter pick you can do in your own time. This weekend there are not one but two sessions to choose from. Why not help set up this inclusive music event on Saturday or support junior parkrun in Osterley on Sunday? There's something for everyone!

There was only one person who was deserving of the Golden Boot (trainer) last night, and that was Alan, who has racked up a phenomenal 200 good deeds! Thankfully the whole of England was celebrating with him as they got through to the Euros final. Was Alan their lucky charm? I think after that many good deeds and kilometres covered, he had to be. Alan FTW!

We were back at the Chiswick allotments last night to support a new partnership between the local foodbank and the growers. The idea is that an overgrown patch of land is being cultivated ready to plant fruit and veg that will eventually be donated to the foodbank.

We're still at the digging and weeding stage of the process, so we all grabbed a fork, and got busy. We started by lining up in a row and working backwards, digging up weeds and turning over the soil. There were plenty of slabs to be lifted, roots to be dispatched and grass to be eliminated. After 45 minutes of hard work the area was looking much clearer - almost ready for planting!

We're back to the site next week to carry on with the project, which will ultimately provide local people with healthy, organic produce.

It's amazing what effect the prospect of a semi final England win will have. Powering back to base, we arrived just a few minutes later. There was just a quick stretch to be done before scooting over to the pub for the big game. Its always a great night to put on a red and white tshirt, but with all the celebrations to be had, yesterday was particularly special.

If you're looking for a fun mission this Saturday, ten why not sign up for this session helping to set up for an inclusive music event - and feel free to stick around for the entertainment!

On the eve of the general election we exercised our democratic right to GoodGym!

With a bit of hustings and puffing we headed off for Chiswick House, this time meeting Conor at the yard. Our mandate for the evening was to clear the area around the imposing entry gates to the park, which had become overgrown with weeds. Our job was to unseat them.

We set about pulling and scraping, clearing and sweeping until the whole area was clear. When it comes to GG versus Weeds, it was clearly a landslide victory.

The popular vote was for fitness, so with Emily and Chris acting as the frontrunners, we headed off to Turnham Green. The focus of the session was on floor based stability and strength. We got ourselves into the right opposition and worked on our core, glutes and arms.

Some of the exercises were a little tough, such as maintaining the bear hold for a full 40 seconds, but no campaign, no gain.

Some of these puns have definitely Laboured the point, but hopefully it worked as a little reminder to vote today if you haven't already!

There are a couple of missions going on this weekend, like this one to help set up for an inclusive community event at Waterman's Park on Saturday. If crabs are more your thing, then why not help out on Chiswick eyot?

Happy Election Day everybody!
