Chunked & Loaded - Litter-ally !!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ GOODGYM LAMBETH RUN REPORT ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

This week's mission: Litter Pick Bingo and Plastic Patrol! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

TRASH TALK ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ Our lovely crew proved that one person's trash is another person's...well, recycling! We gave an old favorite a new twist and honestly, it was RUBBISH (in the best way possible)!

Armed with bags and the Plastic Patrol app, our heroes combed the local area like environmental detectives, picking up every piece of recyclable waste we could find. We bagged it, logged it, and made sure it all ended up in the right bin. Because sorting is our cardio! ๐Ÿ“ฑโ™ป๏ธ

PICK OF THE BUNCH ๐ŸŒŸ Huge shoutout to our usual cast of legends: Fi, Katie, Ben, and Tilly - you absolute trash pandas! ๐Ÿฆ We love you guys! Your dedication to keeping Lambeth clean while getting fit is truly un-RUBBISH-able! ๐Ÿค—

STATS ๐Ÿ“Š Keep your eyes peeled on the WhatsApp for our full haul - spoiler alert: we absolutely cleaned up! ๐Ÿงน

THE AFTERMATH ๐Ÿป As if picking up litter wasn't rewarding enough, tonight was a RUNNER MANDATED SOCIAL (the best kind of mandate, let's be honest). The whole crew headed to the pub afterwards to raise a glass to our success. Cheers to making the world a better place, one pint and one piece of plastic at a time! ๐Ÿป

Same time next week for more fitness, friendship, and doing good!

Plan B-eautiful - Leaf it to GoodGym !!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿ‚ GOODGYM LAMBETH RUN REPORT ๐Ÿ‚

When Plans Go A-rye (mill)! ๐ŸŒพ

This week served up a last-minute plot twist worthy of a Halloween thriller! Our original task got cancelled faster than you can say "trick or treat," but did that stop our intrepid crew? Not a chance! We pivoted quicker than a Jack Russell chasing squirrels and headed straight to Brixton Windmill Gardens for some leafy heroics. ๐ŸŽƒ

Mission: Help Jean rake in the Halloween spirit!

Armed with scrapers, rakes, brooms, and a couple of one-tonne builders bags (because we don't do things by halves!), we set about gathering every last leaf we could find. Future mulch? More like future GOLD, am I right?! ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ

The team was absolutely raking it in - quite literally! We swept through those gardens like a pack of highly motivated border collies on a mission. Speaking of which... ๐Ÿ•

Tonight's burning question: If you were a dog, what breed would you be?!

Turns out the GG family is packed with active breeds - no couch potato pugs here! Safe to say we've got more energy than a springer spaniel in a tennis ball factory. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿบโšก

Shout out to our usual cast of absolute legends: Jo, Michael, Fi, Katie, and Ben - you guys are PAW-some! We're not lion when we say you're the mane event every single week! ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

Until next time, keep running, keep doing good, and remember: LEAF it all out there! ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ˜„

Another week, another good deed in the bag (literally - a one-tonne one!) ๐Ÿงนโœจ

A Clean Sweepโ€ฆ Well, Sort Of!!

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

This week, our magnificent crew of do-gooders traded their usual running routes for a different kind of marathon - the Great Garage Clear-Out of 2025! ๐Ÿ“ฆ๐Ÿš๏ธ

We descended upon Myatts Fields to help Kim with a mission that would make Marie Kondo sweat: shifting a lifetime's worth of treasures (and let's be honest, some questionable "I'll definitely use this someday" items) from her Hackney collection out into the daylight for inventory! โ˜€๏ธ

The Task-master Lineup:

๐ŸŒŸ Fabian - Our brilliant newbie made their debut and swept us off our feet (literally - they were on broom duty)! Welcome to the gang, Fabian - you really cleaned up on your first mission! ๐Ÿงนโœจ

๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ The Usual Suspects: Ben, Michael, Dan, Paul, and Patrick brought their A-game, grabbing, sorting, and stacking like a well-oiled (albeit slightly dusty) machine!

๐Ÿฐ Adam - Our knight in shining apron stepped up when tragedy struck the Bake Off tent (no baker = no bakes ๐Ÿ˜ฑ). This absolute legend whipped up a gluten-free fruit cake AND brought Tupperware for transport. Adam, you really take the biscuit! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ‘‘

Mission Highlights: - โœ… Sorted everything into neat categories (playing real-life Tetris with decades of memories!) - โœ… Gave the garage a thorough sweep (though we're pretty sure the dust declared victory and staged a comeback) ๐Ÿงน๐Ÿ’จ - โœ… Proved that many hands make light work (even when that work involves heavy boxes!)

Another cracking evening of fitness, teamwork, and community spirit! Who knew cardio could involve this much carrying? ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ˜„

Same time next week, GoodGym heroes? ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Getting fit, doing good, and occasionally getting dusty โœจ

Ben Margerison completed 25 good deeds with GoodGym.

Ben has already done 25 good deeds with GoodGym. Instead of doing anything else, they've used their run to go and help people that need their help; digging, lifting, scraping, clearing, planting and weeding. Stuff that makes this a better place to be.

Weed โ€™Em and Weep: A Tail of Barrows and Heroesโ€ ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿ˜ข

Lambeth Report written by Yianny (he / him)

GoodGym Lambeth Run Report ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒฑ

Agnes Riley Gardens - Pond Weed Warriors!

This week, our magnificent GoodGymers wheely outdid themselves at Agnes Riley Gardens! ๐Ÿ’š

We joined forces with Harriet and the Friends of the Gardens for some serious pond-to-compost action. The mission? Transport mountains of freshly dredged pond weeds to their final resting place. It was time to get mucky! ๐ŸŒฟ

The Dream Team ๐Ÿ‘

A huge welcome to our fabulous first-timers Omkar and Bill - you absolutely smashed it! We hope this is just the beginning of your GoodGym journey. Youโ€™ve set the bar-row very high! ๐ŸŽ‰

Our legendary regulars were back and better than ever: Ben, Perdie, Fi, Adam, and the amazing Tilly, who blessed us all with her heavenly brownies and meringue cookies (because nothing says โ€œwell doneโ€ like sugar and carbs after manual labour!). ๐Ÿช๐ŸคŽ

The Task ๐Ÿ’ช

Armed with garden forks, spades, and brooms, we got straight to work loading up our trusty wheelbarrows - affectionately dubbed Barrow Obama, Wheeliam Shakespeare, and Scarlett Jobarrowson - and sprinted them over to the compost heap. It was basically CrossFit meets gardening, and we were here for it!

Special Guest Appearance ๐ŸฆŽ

Mid-mission, we discovered an adorable pond newt (now officially named Isaac Newt-on) chilling in the weeds. After a brief photoshoot, Sir Newt-on was safely returned to his watery kingdom. Long may he reign! ๐Ÿ‘‘

The Verdict โœจ

Another fantastic evening of fitness, friendship, and freshly cleared ponds! The gardens are looking gorgeous, our legs got a serious workout, and we all left with muddy trainers and massive smiles.

Until next week, GoodGymers! Keep running, keep doing good! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ’š
