Tonight 12 GoodGymers ran from Heart down to Left Bank to finish what we started in summer with painting the picnic benches. It was a little darker than last time we did it, but we managed with the help of a portable light supplied by Left Bank.

Adam thought his team had finished but the perfectionist in me thought otherwise, so they went back & finished the job...sorry Adam!

After painting, we finished off with a beer at the bar. Left Bank always look after us :)

Thanks so much to Helen for another great run. I know we moan about the hills, but we appreciate your effort!

Welcome to Guy who joined us tonight for his first session. We hope to see you again soon!

Ghost stories and clairvoyants were the theme of the evening!! Women in bedrooms, whispered names & trains on tarot cards were all part of the haunting tales....

10 GoodGymers ran up to the OWLS allotments where we weeded a large area and cleared the paths so that it's ready for OWLS service users. We then ran back to Heart for a pint and cake; what more could we want on a Wednesday evening? Running, weeding, ghosts, cider and cake....perfect!!

Tonight 13 of us ran from Heart down to Left Bank (after a little detour from Katie)!

The staff asked us to sand down and paint benches with pink & red stripes. We got to work and the benches looked great; the staff are going to gloss them tomorrow to finish them off.

Afterwards, Left Bank kindly gave us a drink each as a thank you, which were gratefully received.

Welcome to Irene who joined us for her first session tonight.

Well done to Adam on his 20th good deed tonight & Bryony for her 10th!

It was a great evening, thanks all :)

What a great night of silly fun we had last night at GoodGym Leeds!

It was the night of our summer social so 16 of us met at Heart & ran to Beckett's Park in Headingley. There, we met John who we met from Lighthouse Futures who'd volunteered to run a Dodgeball game for us. Firstly we did a warm up of scarecrow tag & then we had a dodgeball tournament. There was lots of drama with Jubz being targeted with balls, Leah being the last woman standing & Ben & Christian battling it out for the man of the match title! I think the picture of Ben hugging Helen gives you an idea of how competitive he got! It was a great workout & we all thanked John for running a really fun session.

We then finished off with a test of core & upper body strength by playing a game of human hungry hippos or hungry Goodgymers as we called it! This was a challenging game but it was hilarious to watch (maybe not as hilarious to actually be competing)! Well done all!

We finished off with a delicious picnic in the park where we ate a mix of savoury & sweet treats. Well done to Helen Noyes for bringing home made scones...yummy!

We also said a sad farewell to task force member Katie Lees who is leaving Leeds for a new life in Sheffield soon. We'll miss you Katie but thanks for all of your hard work for GoodGym Leeds. Don't forget to visit!

What a great night, thanks so much to everyone who came, we must do it again soon!
