At CrossFit Cheltenham, we work hard to perfect human movement and improve the quality of life of all our 240 members! We do this by utilising a variety of different exercises, skills and activities.

We generally have around 150 members coming to CrossFit Cheltenham on a daily basis to participate in workouts led by our experienced coaching team.

Some of the workouts that our members undertake involve a high intensity of activity and can raise the heart rate to quite a high level for long periods.

Although we take every precaution to avoid putting anyone in a position where they are at a higher risk, unfortunately cardiac arrest can occur at any time to even the healthiest people!

We would like to be in a position to be able to respond quickly with a defibrillator should any one of our members go into some sort of life-threatening cardiac dysrhythmias.

Studies have shown that people with a shockable rhythm and that are treated on site with a defibrillator have up to 50% improved survival rate compared to those with no access to a defibrillator.

So, we would like to raise the £1395 needed for the charity ‘London Hearts’ so that they will place a defibrillator in our facility and train our staff on the emergency use of the device.
