Extreme heat didn't hold the Bexley Goodgym team back this evening. We had a big task ahead of us and we wanted to give as much time to it as possible. After our quick safety briefing and warm up, we split up into two team teams and headed out to the English Gardens in Danson park. Thanks Sarah for looking after the back Pack and bringing everyone home safely. On arrival we were met with big smiles and an awesome cold drink. Our task this evening was to get the entrance area ready for when the gardens are judged this coming Thursday.

THANKS SARAH FOR LOOKING AFTER THE BACK PACK AND BRINGING EVERYONE HOME SAFELY

We had three groups doing three jobs. The weeping willow tree and bushes beneath it needed a proper hair cut. The entrance path needed a deep clean brushing to remove all the dirt and debris. And finally the flower beds either side of the entrance path needed the soil turning over. Let me tell you, tonights task was an awesome workout!!

LET ME TELL YOU, TONIGHTS TASK WAS AN AWESOME WORKOUT!!

I would like to take this moment to thank Tom and the gang at the gardens for allowing us to come and help for this event. I hope we done you proud although i think we only touched the surface of whats going to be needed to be done by this Thursday. The Bexley Goodgym team wish you the best of luck in the competition...........

With time run out it was a case of getting one last drink in before heading off back to base. Well what can i say. What a lovely evening was had by all. Well done Martin for completing your very first Goodgym, i hope you enjoyed it. And as always, a massive hi five to the rest of the team for sweating it out this evening. Until next week peeps..........

Wow. What can i say. Goodgymers just kept turning up this evening. I believe it was a Bexley Goodgym attendance record, not including opening / launch night. With 22 Goodgymers all ready to head over to the Danson Water Sports Centre to do some good i had to pull in the reins and hold them all back for our warm up. The warm up this week included a fun fitness session so everyone could get to know each other in a fun but very hot and sweaty environment. Put it this way, no one was hugging each other after it.

It was know time to head down to Danson. We split into two teams. Those wanting to do the longer quicker run, and those in training for a slower lesser distance run. Thanks Susan as always for looking after the front runners.

PUT IT THIS WAY, NO ONE WAS HUGGING EACH OTHER AFTERWARDS

On arrival at the water centre it was all hands on deck. We had several tasks to complete. We had a team litter picking and cleaning the jetty. A team sorting out all the float jackets and sorting the canoe oars into there proper places. It was then all hands on deck to lift the canoes up onto the trailers, carry some bigger canoes back up to the centre storage units, then all finishing with pulling some sailing boats and windsurfers to the units. Believe me, there was no need for any further fitness sessions after that lot.

It was just brilliant to see so many new and old faces last night. Big hi 5 to Tanya, thanks for staying up and making it. A big shout also the Emily who is going to be the brand new Hammersmith and Fulham Goodgym trainer. Hope you enjoyed the evening, and no stealing my bad habits, they took me over a year to perfect ;-) Thanks to Sarah who puts the boom in our weekly boomerang videos and photos. We love them. And not to miss out all my crew that join me every single week, no matter what the task or weather is going to be. You are all awesome.

Until next week Bexley Goodgymers...............
