Thinking Fitness at Chatham is the founding gym in the Thinking Fitness group, which now has locations in both the South East and South West of England. As part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, our gyms are based on school sites, providing students with access to high-end fitness equipment, and a clean and versatile environment.
What's more, all profits made by our gyms are recyled back into education, supporting the Trust's 29 schools located across the country. This helps to fund equipment, maintain our facilities and so much more!
Our gym is open to anyone who would like to join, from students to the local community. With a variety of no long-term commitment membership options to choose from, there is something to suit everyone's needs.
Adult memberships are fully inclusive, providing you with access to our Gym & Classes.
Junior memberships are available to children ages 11-15 for a lower monthly cost. Junior members are invited to attend the gym at the following times:

- Barry, member of Thinking Fitness at Chatham“I have been a member of Thinking Fitness since it first opened. I have remained a member because the staff are all so friendly and I have been made to feel special and welcome. There is a good range of equipment, and there are extensive classes included in the membership which are of a very high calibre. There is also a real community feel to this gym”
- Elizabeth, member of Thinking Fitness at Chatham“I’ve been a member of Thinking Fitness Gym since it opened. It has a good range of equipment and classes and friendly staff. My favourite class is Pilates. Instructor Taryne makes it fun and challenges everyone to go that little bit further without putting any pressure on people.”
- Susie, member of Thinking Fitness at Chatham“Really friendly staff and a good range of equipment too."
- Matt, member of Thinking Fitness at Chatham“The staff are very welcoming and friendly; they happily take the time to chat and get to know you. You are always greeted with a smile and you feel appreciated and listened to as a member.
I have been a member for several years because I like the more personal, almost homely feel that Thinking Fitness offers. It doesn't have the generic, money making feel of more mainstream gyms and for me that is a good thing.
Thinking Fitness is a place I can feel completely comfortable, exercise and de-stress."
- Steven, member of Thinking Fitness at Chatham"Great gym, good equipment, friendly & helpful staff"
- Sonila, member of Thinking Fitness at Chatham"Friendly and helpful team."
