O/T: Gyms?

[bright1064]

Is anyone on here a member of a gym in Sussex pref Brighton or Worthing. If so which one?

I'm looking to sign up to one for the first time EVER, and am a little daunted by the prospect. But being a fairly young lad I have decided now is good time to get fit, before it's too late.

Any help would be great

Impulse Leisure is good mate. You can use their gyms in Southwick and Lancing. You also get free access to Waders swimming pool.

Not poncy at all either.

Cheetahs, King Alfred Leisure Centre

Cheap and 4 floors

Forget gyms. They stink and are expensive. Check out British Military Fitness (they have a Brighton website). Sessions morning and evening in Preston Park, Hove Park and Hove seafront.

It's great fun and they get you bloody fit. And you don't have to worry about getting motivated because most of them are ex Marines and they make each session interesting. You also have plenty of other suffering alongside you. All abilities too.

Lack of resistance training in that option though. Any self respecting young man will want to work on his guns

Ask4 in worthing is pretty cheap, use of Leisure Centre Gym, Aquarena, Davisons & Field Place facilities, me and the missus joined as a couple and is about £31 each. Also LOADS of classes like spinning, thai chi etc

Oh that's who they are! I've often seen them about but never really thought about it to be honest.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I would prefer to sign up to a gym.

Don't go to esporta - they trap you forever and are really expensive. service just gets worse too - real penny pinching. Do see the albion players tho

i reccommend the one in Queens hotel i think it is on the seafront (if i remember right), its not busy in there you can always get on the machines u want, its got everything including swimming pool and sauna all for something stupid like £18 a month. Unfortunately i havent found a gym i like as much as that 1 in Derby
Cheetahs is a great gym too

Riptide on Brighton seafront. Friendly staff and it is a local business as opposed to one of the massive chains. I may be able to get you a decent deal.

La piece de resistance is cycling with a panoramic view of Brighton seafront.

I think Rip Tide is good, it has squat racks and lots of free weights so you can do some proper lifting and not have to rely on shitty machines, lots of posers though.

I used to go to the DC Leisure one at Prince Regents, you can use the swimming pool and about 5 other gym's across Brighton (including the one at Withdean) but they only have dumbells and are all for GIRLS.

Isn't Cheetas meant to be a bit pikey ?

By the way if you want to get fit, this book will do you well.

Thanks to you my friend, I am now a member myself! Just joined up today

The one I belong to used to be Esporta, until maybe 3 years ago, then it was bought out by Virgin...who immediately pretty much doubled the size of the cardio/weights area...even on a Saturday morning, usually pretty busy, you don't have to wait for a machine...plus the pool/jacuzzis/steam room/sauna are all excellent. I pay just shy of £40 per month, which gives me unlimited use of all facilities and nearly all the classes that they have on offer, think they only charge for some really obscure version of yoga that they have to get a teacher in for...I reckon that is a bargain, but only if you use the place a lot.

 

[desprateseagull]

dont bother with poncy/ripoff gyms..

just get a bike, walk more, or swim in the sea (mind the turds!)

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

I belong to Fitness First. Seen a fair few Brighton shirts walking around there.

Cheetas is a good gym but you do tend to get you sterio typical 'Gym Junkies' in there.

You can get a few cocks in there but they tend to stick to the free weights so if you want to get fit then you'll be ok!

I also think its only about £200 a year to join which is really good as far as Gym membership goes!!!
