Report written by Anastasia Hancock (she/her)
Last night we kicked things off outside Battersea Arts Centre with a deplaced warm-up thanks to a very intriguing film crew setting up nearby. No confirmed sightings of any A-listers… but if anyone finds out what they were filming, let us know!
The post warm up question was far too easy for you: what year was the first iPhone released? Most of you knew it was 2007 so I’ll have to up the difficulty next time.
Then it was time to hit the road with a run down to Venue Community Centre Battersea, a brilliant local space that plays a key role in bringing the community together. From hosting activities, acting as a base for charities such as Waste not Want Not, to providing a welcoming hub, places like this really matter — and we were there to help keep it in its best shape.
Armed with mops, cloths, and plenty of elbow grease, we got stuck into a full-scale tidy-up: sweeping floors, cleaning windows, packing away wood and tables — and even tackling some unexpected tasks. Shoutout to Jason, who casually took on plumbing duties and fixed a leaking pipe. No big deal. Just adding expert plumbing to the GoodGym skillset.
With the space transformed into a sparkling hub once more, we squeezed in a round of core and strength exercises. The reception was mixed but you all powered through, finishing strong with a one-minute plank challenge.
Then it was a run back to base, followed by a well-earned pizza social — the perfect way to roll into the Easter break.
Next week we’re running as normal, so if you fancy hatching some egg-cellent plans (sorry), come along to do good and get active!
