Gideon Loots
Developer & Trainer – spirit-gym training
Gideon knows what it feels like to be frustrated by his own lack of spiritual progress. He, too, felt lost as to what truths he should learn next on his journey. For this reason, he spent over 15 years in dedicated prayer and study of God’s Word to search for ‘God’s Blueprint Map for Spiritual Growth and Kingdom Living’. 2023 will be the 4th year he is presenting this course and more than 60 people are currently in training.
These are the questions that led him into this study: “God, the master designer of the universe and everything in it, the God that doesn’t just do things randomly, the God that leaves nothing up to chance. Doesn’t He have a map of progressive stages with which we can navigate our spiritual growth? Doesn’t He have a blueprint that reveals how all the aspects of our lives are supposed to work together as an integrated, coherent whole?”
It turns out, HE does!

Charmaine Loots
Training Support for Women – spirit-gym training
Charmaine played a vital contributing role in the development of this training. She has an amazing prophetic gift that God used to help Gideon keep track of and add insight to this study.
She formed a key part of this study before they got married 12 years ago and she continues to add value to the Spirit-gym training experience through her prophetic gifts to all who are involved.
She also has her own blog where she shares some of her prophetic dreams and insights at www.awakeningrhema.com/
Testimonies
What others are saying:
“SPIRIT-GYM and the teachings that you will experience facilitates deep spiritual growth. Be prepared to walk a much closer walk with Jesus forever.
Gideon and Charmaine’s love and vision for the body of Christ is fresh and much needed.
“Gideon and Charmaine’s love for the Lord is contagious and their ability to teach while at the same time allowing the Holy Spirit to flow and lead is a blessing.
Gideon explains the scriptures in a very practical way filled with truth. Applying the practical exercises in my daily walk has helped me tremendously in my spiritual growth.“
“At Spirit gym, I am in training for the strenuous times ahead! This happens in a spontaneous atmosphere, where we connect with each other, and with Jesus, calling upon His Name, exalting Who He is, while His Spirit flows freely amongst us.
Together with this, Gideon breaks open the Word, from a fresh perspective, sending us out with new zeal for the week.“
“The content, knowledge, wisdom and spiritual insight are of a very high standard. It challenged me in the way that I perceive my spiritual walk with the Lord and inspired me to go deeper and find my “sweet spot” in the Lord.
I would recommend it to anyone who has a desire to get to the place where they want to encounter the Lord in a deeper understanding of why they were created.”

Who is This Training For?
SPIRIT-GYM TRAINING was developed with kingdom seekers of all sorts in mind. Those who seek to live close to God and live pleasing to Him. Who seeks God’s alternative kingdom ways outside the systems of this world. They want to effect change in the world around them and demonstrate God’s kingdom to others. Those who decern the times and want to be prepared for last-day events: persecution, revival, economic difficulty. Those who want to live in radical obedience and want to see God at work in their everyday lives.
For any believer to get to this level of spiritual maturity, we need a supportive community around us and we need to be trained in God’s ways. The problem is we often get stuck in traditional mindsets that make it difficult for us to see outside the boxed thinking of the systems we grew up in and were exposed to. This causes spiritual hunger and frustration that leaves us with this nagging feeling: There has to be more! But we just don’t know what the alternative is and how to break out into the more.
We believe preparing for your mission should be straightforward and simple. No one that seeks God’s kingdom should have any trouble figuring out how to do so. We understand what that feels like. We have also been there.
This led us to seek God for answers which eventually led to the creation of this training. Gideon spent all 20 years of his life as a believer (since the age of 17) dedicated to figuring out the simple ways of God’s kingdom. Before we got married 12 years ago, Charmaine started keeping a detailed journal of dreams and topics God was speaking to us about. This was one of the greatest contributing factors that helped us put all the puzzle pieces together in this training.
What we discovered was so liberating that we could simply just not keep it to ourselves.
For this reason, we created a simple three-step process for you to follow: (1) choose your monthly payment amount (a free option is available on application), (2) attend a weekly hub gathering with others that you can grow with (an online option is also available), and (3) step into your life’s mission by simply following the weekly exercises. It’s as simple as that.
The training is designed in such a way that you don’t have to give any thought to the process. However, we make all the outlines available so you can see the mapped-out process and pan your progress accordingly.
Join now so that you don’t have to settle for a boring, unfulfilling, impactless life. But instead, step into the adventure of living out God’s kingdom ways.
Commonly Asked Questions
What is your statement of faith?
Commonly the question behind this question is: Can we trust that you don’t teach unbiblical nonsense? We can assure you that we hold to all the essential historical Christian teachings. Our beliefs are clearly spelled out in Exercise 1.2 which you will get access to if you download the outline ‘God’s Blueprint Map for Spiritual Growth and Kingdom Living’ at the top of this page.
What do I get when I join?
The weekly videos and notes that you can download and keep forever; and the exercise evaluations that will help you measure your progress each week.
Isn’t the concept of spiritual exercise legalistic?
No, it’s a scriptural concept (see 1 Timothy 4:7-8 and 1 Corinthians 9:26-27). Trying vs training: Performance is about trying to do something by your own natural resources and out of your own strength. Grace enables you to draw from Christ so that you can live by His indwelling life. This takes training and discipline to learn. Because we are still carnally minded it doesn’t always come naturally. If I tell you to try really hard to live a Godly life, that would be LEGALISM. But if I train you to live by the indwelling life of Christ and you progressively learn how to draw from His strength, that would be GRACE. So, don’t try living the Christian life, train so that Jesus can live it through you!
Will this course work for me?
Yes, we believe that as long as God’s word is thought and believed it will work for everyone. God’s word cannot fail and it will accomplish the purpose for which it is sent. However, we have grace for people’s struggles and therefore we put pressure on no one. We trust that God will complete the good work that He has begun in you. We are also available to help you resolve any past trauma or hurts that might cause difficulties on your growth journey. If this falls outside our expertise we know wonderful counselors we can connect you with.
What if I have a different view from yours?
No Problem, we believe that believers should learn from one another in a safe environment of loving care. You are free to follow Jesus in the way you see revealed in scripture and according to what you feel the Holy Spirit is convicting you of. We will never play God in your life and for this reason we believe that it is healthy to give different perspectives and then trust that God to work in each person’s life to bring them to the knowledge of the truth. “I do not mean that we lord it over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand firm in your faith (2 Co 1:24 CSB).
