Five Good-Gymers arrived at the task with an energetic mix of running, walking and cycling to the centre.

Once inside we joined forces to help wrap presents for the Unemployed Families Centre's Christmas party. The room quickly filled with festive spirit.

We were delighted to welcome new members Shivani and Pavel who jumped right in and proved they could wrap with the best of us -literally. Some of us even perfected our wrapping techniques, achieving a rare combination of crisp corners and tape that (mostly) didn't stick to our fingers.

By the end, the gift pile looked great!

All in all, it was a fun festive event that left us all smiling. If only every workout ended with a pile of beautifully wrapped presents! 🎁

It is that time of the year when our friend Stuart from the Friends of Palmeira and Adelaide reaches GoodGym Brighton for some Autumnal conservation of the community green spaces in Palmeira Square. Despite the chill air temperatures of this week Tuesday evening, 10 brave heart GoodGymers cycled and run to our weekly task, where Stuart, the lead gardener Jan and the lovely Andrea welcomed us with garden tools ready for some speedy (and warming up) raking action in the outdoors.

Have you ever raked wet leaves from a city park? Like (or even better than) exercising with a Power Tower Gym – Rachel’s quote, enabling you to perform functional exercises that are the most efficient and effective training regimen out there. With this powerful piece of equipment, you would be able to perform 4 major kinds of workouts, namely, Chin-ups, Press-ups, Dips and Vertical Knee Raises.

We managed to rake 4 big bags of green waste, 2 tons plus of minus, which will be collated in the new composting area enabling to recycle food and green waste separately, to close the biological cycle and produce lovely compost to regenerate new grass for the park next spring.

We welcomed returning new members Amy and Dagdas, and lovely Sarah who is commuting every week from PeaceHaven to what has now become her regular weekly appointment with GoodGym! Tell your friends WHAT's ON at GoodGym Brighton.
