Cardio

Let’s work together to make your heart and lungs stronger! At the Chapel Gym, we have a wide range of equipment to help you in your cardio fitness routine. Cardiovascular fitness is the foundation of good health. At the Chapel Gym we keep the standard cardio equipment like treadmills, bikes, rowing machines, and cross trainers and we also supply some more unusual kit as well. This includes equipment such as the Grappler, Jacob’s Ladder, air bikes, ski orbs, and hand bikes.

Free Weights

Using free weights is the best and most underrated way to build strength. With two deadlifting platforms, three sets of dumbbells, and a full array of barbells and plates, you can have your pick of free weights. In addition to free weights, we have an extensive range of machines which are ideal if you’re training alone, lifting heavy, targeting a specific muscle group, or carrying an injury. Most of our machines are made by Hammer Strength, a brand renowned for quality and a natural range of movement.

Calisthenics

Building strength using your own body weight is a simple yet effective method. It’s especially great for increasing both core and functional strength. At the Chapel Gym, we have a large calisthenics rig and many other bits of kit to enable you to get a great workout – all without ever touching a weights plate!

Combat Area

During the daytime, our large matted area is available for all members to use. It’s a perfect space for some high intensity training (HIIT) including skip, swing, slam, balance, or punch your way to optimum fitness.


Note: During weekday evenings, the combat area is closed for fight classes run by Siam Academy.

Personal Trainers

We have a small team of highly qualified PTs who work at the Chapel Gym. They are available for free inductions (essential for those who have never used a gym before) and can also be booked privately for one-to-one personal training.


As a valued part of our team, our PTs are very happy to help you get the most out of your gym experience.

Pastoral Support

We like to think of the Chapel Gym as a big family, where members and staff look out for and support one another. We recognise the importance of mental health and wellbeing and want everyone to know that there are people available to listen and offer support when life feels difficult. If you would value a confidential conversation or some pastoral support, Paul and Tim are available and would be very happy to hear from you.

Paul Frost

Paul is the Minister at St John’s Church and has lots of experience supporting people through difficult times in life. Whether you’re concerned about your emotional, mental or spiritual wellbeing, or simply need someone to talk to, Paul is here to listen and offer support.

Tim Slater

Alongside Paul, Tim is a Sports Minister and is very happy to offer pastoral support to anyone who needs it. And if you’re interested in getting involved in recreational football, Tim is your man!

Both Paul and Tim are often at the gym but if you would like to get in touch, please email hello@thechapelgym.org.uk.


You may also spot our friendly team of Gym Chaplains around the gym. They’re always happy to have a chat, offer a listening ear or help point you towards further support if you need it. And if you’re curious about the Christian faith, have questions about God, or just want to explore some of life’s bigger questions, they’d love to chat about those too.


Siam Academy

Fighting sports are an excellent way to get fit, increase confidence, and make friends. Our close friends at Siam Academy are a nationally renowned club, specialising in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts. Under the leadership of Den Palmer, there are classes for all ages and abilities during weekday evenings  in our combat area. Please ask at reception for more information.
