Paint it, lift it, shift it, stack it, move it, climb it, plank it!
22 GoodGymers made their way 5.1km to help the Abbeydale Picture House in Sheffield.
- Monday, 12th of February 2018
- Led by Tom Mutton
We were joined this week by SHEFFIELD STAR's very own STAR reporter DANGEROUS DAN who really worked for his story getting the full GG experience!
We also had some photographs taken by MARVELOUS MARIE prior to setting off, so keep an eye out in this weeks paper for the story!
This week we were back off to meet SENSATIONAL STEVE of CADS to help with the restoration of the Abbeydale Picture House. On arrival we split into three teams and were briefed and set up with Steve.
TEAM LIFT & SHIFT 1 - The big guns came out to lift and shift a load of concrete pillars in readiness for them to be restored on what will be a new exterior balcony on the outside facade of the building.
TEAM PAINT IT - We had 2 separate rooms to go at this week, the team got straight to it getting overalls on and rollers and brushes in hand to add a fresh coat to some of the walls.
TEAM LIFT & SHIFT 2 - Shifting odds and sods including some big old scaffolding poles from the balcony.
Once we downed tools we headed to the ground floor to get ready for the fitness session of the evening. This week we made use of the many stairs and multiple levels by doing a stair based circuit session in teams of 3. Number 1 started off doing flutter kicks on ground floor level, number 2 legged it up the stairs to number 3 who was planking and waiting for a tag to go down the stairs and tag number 1 and replace them. We did three circuits with everyone putting in a great effort with some great self policing and fantastic supportive team mentality, keeping the whole group accountable to each other maintaining the planks and flutter kicks.
After some thanks from Steve we said our goodbyes and headed home to the Showroom lead by SPRINTING SAM who provided some great opportunities for some sprint loop backs with everyone putting in a good chase.
SENSATIONAL SAM will be leading on the next 2 runs so watch out for those sprints!
