A new era begins at GoodGym Newcastle

With huge thanks to Stepney Bank Stables, we now have a new base and a regular starting point to our Monday night group sessions. New and OG GoodGymers met on a chilly but still night in toon and there was a real buzz about our new meeting space which allows us to get back to how it was pre-pandemic times with somewhere to meet, change, catch up and get ready to do good things. From tonight, group sessions will always meet at 6, every Monday but our community missions will continue to pop up on weeknights and weekends so keep an eye on the listings for info.

After a great catch up and warm up we split into two groups: Paul's group of runners going to litter pick on the Quayside and my walking group focusing on Ouseburn. We had a great half hour of collecting six big bags of rubbish between them and it was soon time to meet back up for the fitness session.

Tonight was a Stepney Circuit, making use of the street furniture and the hills for an epic ten minute workout. On to The Ship Inn for a well earned drink where we discussed ideas for upcoming socials - stay tuned for plans including axe throwing, rage rooms, surfing and having our heads measured.

It's a GoodGym thing, and it's nice to get back to making Mondays amazing.
