Gym with place to sit (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place to sit' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'gym with' is the wordplay.
'gym' becomes 'pe' (short for Physical Education).
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'pe'+'w'='PEW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pew that I've seen before include "Bench-like seat in a church" , "Long church seat" , "Where some of the flock rest" , "Long bench in a church" , "Part of flock sitting here" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
