The GoodGym Lambeth crew were out in force this week, and what a force they were! 💥

Our merry band of do-gooders assembled at the legendary Papa’s HQ, laced up their trainers, and set off for a quick loop around the block before getting stuck into some seriously satisfying border edging back at base. 🏃‍♂️💨

Now, some people might think border edging sounds like a snooze. Those people have clearly never seen THIS lot with a spade. 😤🔥

Our small but perfectly formed squad — Tilly, Michael, Dan, Ben, Marie-Noelle, and a very special welcome to first-timer Alfie 🎉🍾 — absolutely smashed it from start to finish. Six heroes. One mission. Zero untidy borders. 🌱

A MASSIVE shoutout has to go to the one, the only, Tilly 🦸‍♀️ who stepped up as run leader this evening while the usual boss was away. She kept the troops in line, the pace on point, and the vibes absolutely immaculate. We’re not saying she was born to lead… but she was born to lead. 🤩

Session well and truly nailed. 💪🏼 The borders have been edged, the kilometres have been run, and the community is just that little bit tidier thanks to you legends. 😱❤️

Check out the pics — they say a thousand words, but we think “flipping brilliant” just about covers it. 📸✨

See you next time, GoodGym Lambeth! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💚

GoodGym Lambeth was back out in force this week, and honestly? We absolutely loved that one. 🍃

Our superstars assembled at Papa’s before splitting into two crack squads — one team collected a fresh batch of shiny new flyers, while our early birds grabbed the older versions and hit the streets immediately. Two groups, one mission, zero chill. 😤💪

This week we were proudly raising awareness for our brilliant friends at GROAD, and the legend that is Andrea had given us a full briefing on exactly where to focus our energies. Consider it road-tested intel. 🗺️🤓

Before we set off, a few of our big-hearted bunch noticed a vulnerable woman at Papa’s and made sure she got home safely — because that’s just who we are. ❤️

New member Pravina joined the group this week - delighted to have you with us!!

The rest of the crew cracked on, and we’re delighted to report every single road on the plan got covered. Mission: absolutely, undeniably, magnificently accomplished. 😱🤩

With the streets well and truly flyered, it was time for the real reward — the monthly social at The Landor for drinks, food, and the kind of chat that makes all those km worth it. 🍾🥂

Same time next week? We’ll be there. Obviously. 😎

🌿😅 Our mission, should we choose to accept it (we did, obviously — we’re GoodGym): help the wonderful Annick at the Brixton Waterworks allotments tackle a carpet situation.

*Shoutout to Adam for weaving his magic and nailing this week's pun title!

Yes. Carpet. In the soil. Apparently the weed barrier of choice for a certain era of allotment gardening was “just bury some carpet and hope for the best.” 😂 Well, that carpet’s time was UP.

The team got stuck in — pulling, heaving, rolling, folding, and wheelbarrowing that ancient carpet to its temporary resting place like the absolute legends we are. ❤️ It was gritty, it was grimy, it was extremely satisfying. The carpets may be old and worn, but our team? Totally on the right thread. 🧵😏

We split into two crack squads: the running crew — AA, Katie (an ICONIC comeback after injury, we literally cannot 👏), and Michael (“just a casual 16km at the weekend, no biggie” 😤🔥) — and the walkers/cyclists Tilly, Ben, Nehal, Marie-Noelle and Adam, who were honestly bringing the vibes on wheels and heels. 🚴‍♀️🚶‍♂️

Annick was thrilled, the allotment is one step closer to full bloom, and we went home absolutely filthy and absolutely proud. 😱🤩

See you next week at The Landor — first round of brags about your weekend mileage is on you, Michael. 🏅🍻

Run, do good, repeat. 💚​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Another Tuesday, another band of Lambeth legends proving that the only thing we love more than a good run is getting so mulch done for the community. 💪🏼✨

Our superstar squad rolled out from Papa's in fine form — AA, Michael, Dan & Jo lacing up and hitting the tarmac on foot, while Fi, Katie, Nehal and Adam rolled deep on wheels and wellies (well, approximately). The vibes? Immaculate. The chat? Flowing faster than we were. 🍾😂

Our mission this evening took us to the wonderful Agnes Riley Gardens, where the brilliant Jo from Friends of Agnes Riley and Tom from Lambeth Parks had a job for us: spread woodchip along the hedges to give the freshly planted whips the best possible start to the new season. 🌱 Think of it as tucking the baby trees in for spring. Cosy! 🤗

And did we chip in? Oh, we chipped in HARD. The team shovelled, narrowed and spread that woodchip with the kind of efficiency that would make a professional landscaper weep with pride — job done in no time, leaving us the very important task of... standing around a pond staring at newts. 🦎❤️ And honestly? Absolutely worth it. The pond was JUMPING (well, crawling, they're newts) with wildlife and we are not ashamed to say we were absolutely giddy about it.

🌟 SPECIAL SHOUTOUT 🌟

A massive welcome to Nehal, who joined us for her very first Group Run tonight! Having already dipped her toes in with Community Missions alongside Katie, Nehal is clearly committed to the GoodGym life — and we are SO here for it. Welcome to the madness, we love having newt members of the team. 😱🤩

Until next time, Lambeth — keep running, keep giving, and for the love of all things good, keep spreading the chip. 🌿🏃‍♀️💚

A great group of people gathered in Wandsworth tonight to do some good! Before setting off, we discussed what we each saw as the first signs of spring with sunlight being high on the wishlist along with flowers blossoming and birds singing - lovely!

We were off to Paradise Gardens to help them move some logs from trees that had been cut down and were lucky enough to spot some spring flowers en route. We got some rather attractive overcoats on to guard against the sap (although some found it to be a fragrant fabric freshener!).

We had a very dedicated team to help sort the existing logs and direct further log placement and we built quite the pile. We finished up with a fitness session with exercises spelling (you guessed it) LOGS!

Well done all and hope you feel the joys of spring this week!
