Where you can train in Chatham.
Chatham has plenty of choice, which means you can be picky about the thing that actually matters: whether you will still be going in March. Proximity beats facilities almost every time, and a rack you can get on at the hour you train beats both.
Chains with a site here: PureGym, The Gym Group, Virgin Active. If you already hold one of those memberships, you can start this week without paying anything new.

What training in Chatham actually involves.
Where to train in Chatham
20 gyms and sports centres sit within a few miles of the centre of Chatham. That is enough to choose on what the floor actually holds rather than on which is nearest.
Closest to the centre you have TKO Elite, Medway Park Sports Centre and Prince Arthur Road Indoor Bowling Club, the nearest of them about 1.5 km out. Ring before you join and ask what the free-weight area looks like at the hour you would actually be there. A rack you have to queue twenty minutes for at six o'clock is the single most common reason a programme stops getting done.
Medway Park Sports Centre and Prince Arthur Road Indoor Bowling Club are listed as sports centres rather than gyms. Multi-use sites are usually where the floor space is, and often where the off-peak hours are quietest, which matters more to a training habit than the equipment list does.
PureGym, The Gym Group and Virgin Active have sites here, so an existing membership may already cover you. If you are joining from scratch, a rolling monthly contract is worth the few extra pounds while you work out which sessions you actually turn up for.
Getting your conditioning in around Chatham
You are well served for measured running around Chatham. 4 parkrun courses sit within reach: Great Lines parkrun, Medway, Shorne Woods parkrun and Maidstone River Park parkrun are the closest three, Great Lines parkrun, Medway being about 1.4 km out. Use one as your fixed benchmark and run it in the same conditions each time, or the number tells you nothing.
They spread from roughly 1 km out to 10 km, so pick one as the benchmark rather than running whichever is convenient — a different course is a different number.
Making it stick in Chatham
The hard part of training in Chatham is not the first fortnight, it is week seven, when the novelty has gone and the weather has turned. What survives that is a programme that already knows which days you train and does not need you to decide anything on the day.
With this many places to train nearby, the useful discipline is picking one and staying put long enough to progress on it. Switching gyms resets your reference points — the same bar, the same rack, the same walk in — and those references are most of what tells you whether the last month worked.
The options here sit close together — from about 1.5 km out to 3.3 km — so switching is cheap if the first one does not suit. That is worth knowing before you sign a twelve-month contract rather than after.
PureGym and The Gym Group operate here, which matters if you move or travel for work — the same membership tends to open the door elsewhere, and continuity beats equipment for anyone training year-round.

Plenty of people train one town over, whether that is a better gym, a flatter route, or simply the one on the way home from work.
