Brighton Report written by STEFANIA ROSSO (she/her)
Yesterday, we ran 5km to the Preston Park Velodrome to support the Brighton Bike Hub — a brilliant volunteer-run community workshop. 🚲 They make cycling affordable by offering free tool access, DIY repair spaces, refurbished bike sales, and adult cycle training in and around Preston Park.
Our GoodGym group session mission? To tidy and paint their 20ft shipping container, transforming it into a clean white canvas for an upcoming mural artist!
The Bike Hub mission? Reducing carbon emissions, improving air quality and making our streets more people and planet-friendly, while getting around more cheerfully. They are also committed to enabling those on a low income to enjoy the benefits of cycling.
Did you know that nearly half of people in Britain spend more than 18 hours a week on the sofa – yet 70% say they want to be more active? Timely, today, British Cycling launched Sofa to Saddle to get the nation active – a free eight-week programme to help more people discover the joy of cycling. The benefits of getting started are significant. Research shows that people who cycle at least once a week are 37% more likely to feel good about themselves, while 79% say cycling helps clear their head and 58% feel calmer and more relaxed.
By making cycling more accessible and supporting people to take those first pedal strokes, Brighton Bike Hub contributes to Cycling UK mission to enable and inspire everybody to experience cycling's joys and benefits, and to British Cycling ambition to help one million more people get on their bikes by 2028, creating healthier, happier communities across Britain.
This GoodGym session and organisation are close to my heart. It felt rewarding to help others get a Good addition to their active travel journeys.

Brighton Report written by Roy (He/Him)
It was a return mission to Ms K's increasingly wild garden for the intrepid duo, Sherman and Roy. Both arrived fully equipped for the midday heat, complete with caps, sunglasses, water bottles and gardening gloves.
Sherman wasted no time getting to grips with Ms K's new battery-powered saw, while Roy opted for a pair of long-handled shears. Undeterred by the blazing sunshine, the pair set to work on the overgrown bushes lining the driveway.
The brambles, however, were not ready to surrender without a struggle. They resisted and scratched at every turn, but were ultimately no match for the determination of these two seasoned garden warriors.
After a hard-fought battle, the overhanging branches were vanquished, weeds were uprooted from the patio, and order was restored to the garden. With another successful mission completed, Sherman and Roy departed victorious, ready for the next horticultural challenge.

Brighton Report written by Brighton runner
Who needs a fancy gym membership when you can get a full-body workout saving a garden? GoodGymers Roy and Sherman arrived at Mrs. K’s ready to sweat, skipping the weights for some intense green cardio. After consulting Mrs. K on her priorities, the duo mapped out their tactical fitness plan. Top of the list was tackling a massive, overgrowing tree to cut back as many branches as humanly possible. Second was clearing the weeds swallowing her front door pathway—a crucial task, as these tripping hazards had previously caused Mrs. K to fall. The mission came with a twist: brand-new tools but absolutely zero power tools. Every branch had to be wrestled manually, with the most stubborn limbs requiring a slightly rusty hand saw. It was the ultimate test of endurance! Fortunately, Roy’s skillful hands saved the day. He eradicated the weeds, transforming the hazardous front pathway into a safe entrance. With time ticking away, the third priority—taming the branches invading the neighbor's side—had to be left for a future visit. Jungle tamed, safety restored, gym goals achieved!

Allowing Mrs K to safely take the bins out and to have enough space to get her wheelchair out of the house. Will also lift her mood as seeing the overgrown garden gets her down.
