Our Approach to Fitness

We believe that some of the best reasons to exercise have absolutely nothing to do with your appearance, and that a commitment to regular exercise can help you live a happier, healthier, and longer life.

So our goal in creating Chatham Works was to make a place where people will actually want to workout.

Our offerings and our approach to fitness emphasize Functional Training, Group Exercise, and variety. Here’s why ...

Functional Training → Train Like You Move

Functional Training emphasizes compound exercises that are based on how we move our bodies in real life. It's ideally suited to adults who want to improve their overall fitness and conditioning, and lose weight. But it's also a staple in the training regimens of many elite and professional athletes.

Group Exercise → It's Better Together

Research has shown that people who regularly exercise in a social, group setting have greater success in improving key measures of their fitness, like enhancing their conditioning and losing weight. (Plus it's a lot more fun!)

Variety → Because Change is Good

Numerous studies have shown that having variety in fitness regimens leads to a stronger commitment to regular exercise, and helps people achieve better results faster. (Feel free to hammer away on the elliptical every time you come in, but just know that you don't have to!)
