This Wednesday we had a very welcome indoor task! OXSRAD is Oxford's fully inclusive sports and recreation centre for all ages, open to disabled and non-disabled users. It aims to improve the physical health and mental wellbeing of all its users through fitness, recreation, rehabilitation and therapeutic activities.

The centre requested GoodGym's assistance in repainting their interior. The walls haven't been painted for decades, and the centre staff were finding it a bit overwhelming to try to do it all themselves.

Enter the GoodGym flash mob!

Tooled up with rollers, step ladders, and paint brushes we got painting in the studio, corridor, and main reception area. While some took approaches Michelangelo would be proud of, others preferred the "slip, slap, slop" approach. Special mention to Ben for the double roller action! All techniques turned out to have their place, and we got loads done before downing tools at 7:30pm.

We'll be back a couple more times through the autumn. Good work team!

Welcome to GoodGym Chloe!
