It was an absolute treat to pay another visit to Mrs R and see how her garden has been blooming. Since our last visit, she’s felt inspired to keep pottering outside, and she always tells us how much our visits give her a real boost of energy!

After a lovely cup of tea and some snacks, we got stuck in. We tackled a bed overrun with weeds, pruned a wisteria, and gave her pomegranate and apple trees a trim. To finish off, we cleared all the unwanted weeds from the patio and steps, then loaded up the large bags into the car ready for a trip to the tip.

Mrs R was left very happy and completely re-energised from our visit - it's great to make such an impact!

There’s nothing quite like a therapeutic group session to wind down at the end of the day, and our long-overdue return to Full Cycle delivered just that. It had been far too long since our last visit, and the workshop was definitely in need of a little GoodGym magic!

With a well-versed team of regulars, we divided and conquered. While one group got to work recycling the mountain of inner tubes, others found a peaceful flow sorting through tyres - there was something surprisingly meditative about turning all that rubber chaos into neat, organised piles.

The team breezed through the heavy lifting, cleaned up a selection of bikes, and sorted through the cardboard recycling. With time to spare, we grabbed brooms and brushes to clear behind the desk and sweep the workshop floor, leaving the entire space spotless and free of debris.

Massive well done, everyone - we wheely smashed through the jobs!

Over the weekend, in aid of world clean up day 5 goodgymers did their bit by picking up rubbish in their local streets, gardens or public places. Cans, bottles, plastics etc to make these areas look more appealing.

For our very first visit to Tooting & Mitcham Community Club, the team arrived armed with scrapers - only to immediately find ourselves in a bit of a sticky situation!

The wall we were tasked with was covered from top to bottom in stubborn adhesive pads. We certainly weren't going to let things get 'board', but it turned out to be a real test of endurance as we worked our magic furiously, making sure no pad was left behind.

It was a full-body workout, flexing muscles we didn't even know existed, just to force those relentless little squares to come off.

Massive well done to the team – it was a huge challenge, but we well and truly smashed it!
