Facilities for your visit
water glass icon

Chilled water always available free

Our plumbed in water cooler means we have cold water available for you at all times. It's located near the entrance to the gym area. Please ask for a recyclable cup or bring a water bottle.

Steaming takeaway coffee cup

Hot drinks and vending machine

We have vending machines serving hot drinks and a range of healthy (and not healthy!) snacks to keep you going. 

Our bodies can only store enough glycogen for around 90 minutes of exercise so we need to provide more carbohydrate when we exercise. Aim for 30-60g carbohydrate for each hour you train.

No problems here at ChalkUp. We have changing rooms and loads of hot water for our individual shower cubicles, so you can clean up after working up a sweat and be ready to go.

WHAT TO EXPECT - THE BEST HOUR OF YOUR DAY

‍

CrossFit is for anyone and everyone who wants to become more active in their daily lives. The “functional fitness” aspect of CrossFit makes us more able to lead a fulfilling daily life. It makes us fitter and faster. We deadlift, clean, squat, and press. We do gymnastics with progressions that are accessible to all. We bike, run, swim, jump, and row. We use intensity customised to the individual. CrossFit works for everyone.

‍To find out more about how it developed and its values, have a look at this link https://www.crossfit.com/what-is-crossfit/

CrossFit will suit you because:

‍-   You are looking at this website so have made the first step to becoming more active in your life

-   The classes are coached to a high standard. This means that all the movements will be adjusted according to your fitness, mobility and aspirations.

-   It is fun!!

-   It has a team spirit that is hard to beat - you will find that you feel competitive but also encouraging towards your fellow members

-   You will ALWAYS feel better after a class!

If you’ve already experienced CrossFit and want to try us out:

‍-   Have a look at our programming here

Our coaches have the expertise and training to help you create a plan that is best for you.

‍

We can adjust workouts in weight, intensity, and certain mechanics to scale to the experience and fitness levels of any individual, from a total fitness beginner to an elite competitive CrossFitter.

‍

CrossFit is designed to be constantly varied, meaning everyday is different so you never get bored. All workouts are based on the core movements of life, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, rowing and more.

‍

All of our CrossFit Classes are coach-led and follow a planned progression roughly 60 minutes in duration and follow this basic structure:

A certified coach will guide you through warming up, followed by movement instruction and demonstration for the workout. The Coach will supervise and correct any movement performed by you during the workout.
