We were joined on our warm up today by Jennie from BBC Radio Bristol who has been presenting some pieces about fun new ways to get fit in Bristol. A few of us gave interviews and Jennie has promised she'll let me know when her recording is broadcast. What with this and our recent Facebook live stream for the evening post we're becoming hot property in the media world at the moment!

Of course its not all glamour and press conferences at Goodgym Bristol, there is also the small matter of getting-fit-by-doing-good so once we had satisfied our public we headed off for todays task to participate in the Great Bristol spring clean by tackling a couple of streets in the Barton Hill area of Bristol.

In order to cover as much ground as possible we split into three groups with one team tackling our allocated area round Maze Street while 'leading lights' Liam and Richard headed up teams to tackle areas alongside Barton Hill academy and a stretch under the railway tunnel on Silverthorne Lane.

We managed to amass a good haul of rubbish including a purse with a design which we felt was a little on the creepy side - judge for yourself from the photos! In all we managed 10 bags or recyclable rubbish and 8 of general rubbish so hopefully the local residents will wake up to slighltly cleaner streets tomorrow.

Back at base, Jack led some warm ups and we congratulated Sally on reaching 50 good deeds. Sally joined us from GG Wandsworth a few months ago but she's become such a lovely regular with us that its already hard to think of GG Bristol without her now!

We finished up with Eats at Burger Theory but Emma wasn't with us so there is sadly no selfie,
