Where the gyms are
Functional fitness facilities sit spread across Gravesend and neighbouring towns across Kent and southeast London.
NWK CrossFit operates inside Gravesend.
North of the River Thames, CrossFit Thurrock provides functional fitness training in Grays.
West toward London, you find two facilities:
- CrossFit Orpington is located in Orpington, a short walk from St Mary Cray station. The facility provides on-site parking for drivers.
- CrossFit Against the Fire operates in Erith.
South of Gravesend, CHALKBOX trains out of Seal Chart near Borough Green. The facility includes functional fitness equipment, an outside workout space, an outside rig, and a running track.
