It was an evening full of purpose and productivity for GoodGym Westminster tonight. We kicked things off by welcoming back Laura after her time abroad. It’s fantastic to have you back running with us again — and in slightly cooler climates too! Great to have Denzel join us for a first session in Westminster. An excellent start to the Tuesday task!

After a quick warm-up in Hyde Park and the usual gauntlet run of determined cyclists, we set off on a steady run down towards the Abbey Centre. This community centre in Victoria is a cornerstone of the local area, providing vital services, support, and a welcoming space for many. Our task there focused on the community therapy garden, where we got stuck into weeding, planting, and sweeping. A satisfying transformation and a space that will continue to benefit everyone who uses it.

But the evening didn’t stop there.

Realising we were just around the corner from another of our regular task locations — and spotting an opportunity — we decided one task simply wasn’t enough. So off we went again, running round to a busy youth centre where a room needed tidying and reorganising. The result? More usable space and more room for resources to support the young people who rely on it.

With two runs and two tasks under our belts, there was just enough time left for a quick core blast to round things off — even though some of the crew had already squeezed in a gym strength session earlier in the day. Special shoutout to Denzel for doubling down on the effort — impressive stuff!

Not one but two tasks, two runs, and a workout all packed into 90 minutes. You don’t get more GoodGym than that.

Great work team — and if you’re up for more, you can sign up for the next session here
