You may be interested to know how our air handling system works. It is very efficient and it does not recyle the air. It draws in fresh air as described here. This is an important point for your safety in these times.
Here is a message from Jason to gym members:
Secondly, please don’t forget that I’m here to help with exercise advice and programming, all of which is free to gym members. Text me on: 07919018977 and let’s set up a Zoom meeting. I can go through a brand new programme with you for 2021.
I can also offer Personal Training sessions (£30 per hour, £40 for non-gym members) and set you up with a tailored winter training programme, give weight loss advice, or revise your current programme and set you up with some goals for the year.
Look after yourself during lockdown – try these two great new classes for 2021!
Suitable for all fitness levels. There is no high impact aerobic activity it is a purely a toning class aimed at working: arms, shoulders, legs and abs. finishing with a 20 min stretch and cool-down. Ideal for beginners.
A low impact targeted toning class. The class starts with a low impact warm up which is followed with different exercises each week targeting Legs, Bums, Tums and finishes with pure core work. Jason will modify all the exercises to suit all fitness abilities but aims to challenge people looking to improve their fitness.
For the New Year, 2021, we are offering five exercise/circuits classes and two Line dancing sessions and a Toddler Gym every week all on Zoom:
You will need to download “Zoom” onto your computer/tablet/phone to see the session. This is really easy and takes about 1 minute. You can do this before by signing up to Zoom clicking on the link https://zoom.us/pricing (it’s free) or alternatively, simply click on the invite and follow the instructions, just before you want to join the session.

This is a link to Generation Games home page, which gives some other classes and ideas for keeping active in these difficult times. We hope you are all coping and don’t forget you can ring the Community Centre (01608 811878) if you need anything at all, including someone to talk to.
The winner of this competition was Mozes Blok, who racked up an amazing 49 press-ups in two minutes, beating all the adults at the age of six! Well done Mozes (and sorry we spelt your name wrongly)! We completed 1238 press-ups between us. The most improved prize went to Lynn Gorton. Here is a video montage of our efforts, put together by Jamie. The final leaderboard is at the end.
We have added 3 new classes (Body Conditioning and Toning on Mondays and Fridays and Toddler Gym on Wednesdays) to our existing offering of Circuits and Line Dancing sessions.
There is something to suit everybody!
This year the Charlbury Community Centre has employed a team of young people, who have undertaken lots of different projects around the town, from building raised beds in people's gardens, to facilitating outdoor and indoor virtual coffee club get-togethers for seniors, and helping with activities for children.
This would not have been possible without the financial support of WODC (Community Activities Grant), PF Charitable Trust and local donors. Thank you all very much!
The phone number is 
01608 811878 and it is manned 10am-1pm seven days a week. You can ring us for practical help, shopping etc. We have a big team of volunteers who can help you.
