I've been a member of Max Strength for the past five months. I'm a long time gym goer but always…read moreseems to get bored and de-motivated when I didn't get the results that I wanted. Max Strength offer group training sessions, so you get the benefit and knowledge of personal trainer without the crazy cost! Groups are still pretty small, and you get quite a good team spirit going after a few sessions together. They offer both outdoor and indoor boot camp sessions, along with strength training. The guys know what they are doing, so after a mere 40 minutes I get a much better workout than pounding the machines at the gym for hours and not really knowing what to do! I feel stronger, I have lots more energy and I'm leaner to the tune of almost two dress sizes. The sun always seems to shine on our Saturday morning boot camps, and working out in the open air is lovely!

The gym may have limited weights, but it is certainly the cheapest and cleanest gym in Brighton…read more For only £16 (£10 for students) a month and views of the beach from every machine on the ground floor, it is certainly the one to join. There are usually 2-3 week wait lists, so make sure you join in advance! There don't seems to be any classes... For people looking for spin/yoga/aerobic classes then this is not the one to join... It is very much a place where people work out independently.

I'm not all that keen on going to a gym. Not only do I not feel like being another drone running…read moreaway on a treadmill but I also feel I'm not getting a very personal service and then there's the fear that you'll be spotted in your sweats by someone at work or dread or of dreads, someone you fancy. For this reason, a couple of my friends and I signed up for a 6 week boxcercise course with Matt at Mint. The groups are kept really small so you get the attention you would from a personal trainer without the extortionate price tag. We're addicted already! It's so much fun, I recommend it to anyone. 6 weeks is £60 but if you want 1 to 1 personal training you're looking at £30-45 per hour.

I had been reading 'Body by Science' by Dr Doug McGuff and on the off chance typed on 'HIT (High…read moreintensity training in Brighton) and found Mint fitness immediately. I couldn't believe my luck that such an enlightened exercise protocol was being offered on my doorstep. I've weight trained for 23 years-always assuming that the "correct" exercise dosage should be 3 times a week at least (or as much as possible!). I have been training since June at Mint fitness once a week for not more than 20 minutes and the results are amazing. Not only do I burn off more fat but I am stronger and leaner than ever (at 45). This is such a worthwhile investment as the benefits of this kind of training include improved insulin sensitivity, better fat burning, stronger muscles and (according to new research) better cardio vascular health (without the need for hours on the treadmill) my stamina has also greatly improved. I think everyone should train in this way, men to maintain testosterone levels and keep trim, women to off minimise excess fat and improve posture and bone density. The trainers Andy and Matt are enthusiastic and incredibly encouraging and the thought of training the way I used to now seems laughable. Oh and my sleep has also benefitted. Looking forward to getting fitter as I get older. Mark Tyrrell Brighton

I went to this swimming centre at 1am on Saturday night as part of Cine City's event during White…read moreNight festival. There was about 80 people splashing around in their bikinis and costumes whilst behind them a gigantic screen played film footage all centred around swimming and swimming pools. There were ushers selling popcorn and people queing to sit down and watch from the raised spectator seats. It was a quietly magical experience that definitely encouraged me to go back to Prince Regent and actually swim there. As well as having a proper pool with different swimming lanes for professionals and sports fanatics, there's a shallow pool for kids and beginners and a warm teaching pool for toddlers. There's also a sauna, steam room and gym apparently - all at extra cost on a daily or weekly basis. Will post photos of the Cine City / White Night event in a few hours for swimming movie fans!

This swimming pool complex is in a convenient location right next to Starbucks and Pizza Express…read more(Not the best places to go right after a swim but what can you do?!) nearby the north laines - and it has a car park, a fairly small car park but it's great for the nightmare that is Brighton. Plus it's free after 6. Bonus! This pool itself is fairly average - it's good if it's not busy and it has 2 other seperate pools for swimming lessons and aqua aerobics (which by the way I must say looks rather fun!) The gym part of the complex is situated right above the pool so you can look up at those on the treadmills - just as they can look down at you which I guess it adds a little amusement! The changing rooms are OK, there is a fair selection of sizes including family rooms (I know I shouldn't use these but it's so much nicer to have space!). The thing is it does smell a little, as do the toilets... If you live in Brighton and enjoy swimming, there's no reason not to go here, it's just not the cleanest of complexes.

New members are being shown around for an over saturated facility and the solution will be simply to extend operating hours. Members are always talking and complaining without answers about the topic of extension of operating times to 10 or 11. Gym shut to early for the amount of people subscribed trying to all work out in a short time window. This needs to be addressed as it isn't being taken seriously by mamangement and is annoying that they have not reviewed this as a business case and have left this like this for soo long. I would understand if it wasn't busy but it's getting rediculous. Stop taking on new members or extend the hours!!!!!!!

I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who was looking for a decent gym in Brighton…read more The staff are professional and friendly, they don't hound you to sign up for a Personal training session with them - which they do in LA FITNESS. It's clean and spacious - you don't need to worry about really waiting for machines or bumping into/getting in the way of people- which you do in LA FITNESS. It's also got some really good high quality and state of the art equipment .. I particularly enjoy running, but sometimes it gets a bit boring - especially if you run for a while! Some of the machines in this gym have screens which enable you to choose a route to follow, so it feels as if you are actually running through that scene. My favourite by far is the German Mountains run! Its great and has kept me really entertained! This gym is a little more expensive than the other gyms such as LA FITNESS or pure gym or The gym. Their membership is around £45 or more so perhaps a little more than others but its worth it! You avoid queues, it's not as busy, and really the main thing.....people who go there know what their doing and don't dress in vans, skinny fit adidas tracksuits and wife beaters/vest tops that look like they should be bungee jump straps! One disadvantage... No pool!
