Five Good-Gymers arrived at the task with an energetic mix of running, walking and cycling to the centre.

Once inside we joined forces to help wrap presents for the Unemployed Families Centre's Christmas party. The room quickly filled with festive spirit.

We were delighted to welcome new members Shivani and Pavel who jumped right in and proved they could wrap with the best of us -literally. Some of us even perfected our wrapping techniques, achieving a rare combination of crisp corners and tape that (mostly) didn't stick to our fingers.

By the end, the gift pile looked great!

All in all, it was a fun festive event that left us all smiling. If only every workout ended with a pile of beautifully wrapped presents! 🎁

Yesterday session was held at the Brighthelm Centre, a well-known community venue in central Brighton that hosts a wide range of social, cultural, and support services and other community-focused volunteering activities.

The main objective was to help out the centre with practical maintenance tasks to improve the accessibility and appearance of the community spaces, currently disrupted by building works that are in progress since weeks. After a warmup tuned by Zumba moves (courtesy of Zumba with Mon), we engaged in a combined sweeping action of stairwells indoors and of leaves outdoors, accompanied by a festive weeds scraping workout of the garden pavements. The grace of Ewan, the building manager, revealed just how meaningful our contribution was to him and to all who benefit from this vital community centre in Brighton.

Yesterday mild night turned to be a bonus, bringing most joy to our GoodGym-ing and chit-chatting about the coming up Xmas GoodGym social events. We welcomed Pavel at his second GoodGym session on a personal mission to do as many good deeds as possible by 2025.

More to come? Plenty!
