CCP

CRossFit

Christ Church Peckham (CCP) has a fully equipped gym within our church building, which we are using to serve and strengthen our local community. We are an affiliated CrossFit box, with trained coaches from our congregation delivering safe, structured and challenging sessions.

Our classes can accommodate around 6–8 athletes per session. This allows coaches to push each athlete, give proper technical feedback and build the kind of camaraderie and accountability that makes a good gym more than just a place to train.
At CCP CrossFit, we believe ‘iron sharpens iron’. We live by the mindset ‘built, not born’. We turn up, put the work in, push through the hard stuff and get better together. Do one hard thing every day.
Every session combines strength and weightlifting, gymnastics, conditioning and functional movements, finishing with a WOD (Workout of the Day). Workouts are scaled to suit different abilities, but everyone is expected to work hard, push their limits and keep improving.
CCP CrossFit is about more than getting fit. It is about building people who are stronger, more disciplined and more resilient. Our coaches set high standards, challenge people to take responsibility and encourage athletes to push beyond what they thought they were capable of.
Some of our coaches have lived experience of the criminal justice system, and all have experienced first-hand how CrossFit, discipline and a strong community can change lives.

Show up. Put the work in. Build yourself and build each other.

“Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. Make straight paths for your feet…”
Hebrews 12:12–13

CrossFit for Prison Leavers

We currently run a free weekly CrossFit session for prison leavers every Saturday from 10:00–11:30am.
The programme uses physical activity as a practical tool to support people through resettlement, with sessions designed to be accessible and adaptable to all fitness levels and abilities.

Joining a Session 

If you would like to attend a session, please use the link below to register. Advance registration is required and we are unable to accommodate participants who have not signed up.
For your first session, you will also need to complete a short induction phone call with a member of our team. We therefore ask that new participants register at least one week in advance, giving our team sufficient time to make contact and complete the induction process.

what our community says…

“The Christ Church Peckham gym has been incredibly helpful for me in rebuilding my life. As a prison leaver, it took me some time to find my feet and adjust to society but the gym gave me a community where I felt comfortable and accepted. I did not have the means to pay for monthly memberships but here I had the opportunity to work on myself both physically and mentally at no cost. Honestly it has been an invaluable experience and a key reason why I was able to make important changes in my day to day and learned disciplines which I will always carry with me.”

- DYLAN, 26

“I've even started CrossFit! A lot of the members at church, even Fernando, are big CrossFit people - training and coaching. They perform at top level and in competitions worldwide. It's just an amazing feeling, what God can put together.”

- abraham, 3o
