This truly is the greatest gym I have ever been tied into a 13 year contract with…read more The staff are unhelpful, rude, indifferent, untrained and change every time you go in. I was sold one monthly price and charged a lower one. It took me 4 minutes, 5 phone calls, 3 emails and countless assurances that they would call me back to sort the problem... which they did, I always had to chase them! The only saving grace. There is no space, however the extortionate monthly price and fact you have to give 3 decades notice if you wish to leave, coupled with the fact you always feel welcome make this an unpleasant place to be. If you could leave 0 stars I wouldn't. Avoid, Avoid, Avoid, a void is engulfing me... but its a nice one. Reg, Monty

A must for art deco lovers and bathing beauties, Saltdean Lido is a fabulous, art deco lido that…read morehas been open since the 1930s. Designed by the architect R WH Jones, it's a stunning, two storey building that looks like the front of an ocean liner with curved windows and a long, sweeping balcony. There's sun terraces with loungers, a curved pool big enough to fit five hundred swimmers in and a smaller, child friendly pool. Since being refurbished to a high standard at the end of the nineties, there's also a cute cafe selling tea and cakes, changing rooms and toilets - which should all help you brave the biting winds and try your hand at some front-crawl of breast-stroke. Naturally, this being England the Lido is shut in the Autumn and Winter and re-opens annually every Spring til mid September. There's direct buses from Churchill Square in Brighton and if its a windy day, it's well worth phoning in advance to check the pool is definitely open.

It's a place that the locals love and visitors wish they'd brought their swimsuits for. It's big enough that in the main pool those who prefer lane swimming can always have their space whilst the older kids and teens can muck about in the rest of the pool without either sides crossing. There is a smaller paddling pool for toddlers which is a decent size for a large group of toddlers to fit into without too much trouble. There is a large amount of green space to play, sunbathe, have picnics on and generally do anything on, though this becomes packed on busy days. The changing rooms are decent, quite small but fine, could do with renovation. The toilets are fine too. You can buy snacky items from the shop and ice creams at reasonable prices. They have a toddler group on through the summer on a Tuesday morning which is brilliant, the kids love t and it gives the adults a chance to relax! Though the shady spaces under the trees are competed for early on in the session! Obviously this is an outdoor pool and therefore is only open from May through to September. It's good for the whole afternoon and early evening, through the summer I would go after work and swim for an hour from 6, as they do half-price entry at that time and it was practically empty, especially on days with a little drizzle!

Many activities go on here, parties can be held here in the soft play area. Food is average. Nice to have a decent cup of coffee and a relax whilst kids burn off their energy. Soft play area is of reasonable size and is clean and well maintained. My favourite activity here is the after school bowling for schoolchildren which is available term time, costing only £1.75 per child, not bad for a couple of hours entertainment, although once treats and drinks are added (Although optional) the cost builds up.

Brighton has many health clubs but this is arguably the best. The one problem is it's location as…read moreit is a few miles away from any sort of housing by car. This then leads to the argument that if your guna drive to the gym to go for a run you might as well just go for a run. However, it is the whole set of facilities that make every session that little bit better. With indoor/outdoor swimming pools, a great gym, tennis courts, badminton courts, physios, steam room, sauna and spa but to name a few, the facilities are vast. I always feel that if you are going to do fitness you need to do cardio and weight training as both are necessary for good all round fitness. Then you need a reward which is when the sauna and steam rooms come in. This place isn't cheap but if you go on the website you can get a free days membership so you can see what your missing out on. Creche facilities as well so having kids is no excuse!!!
