Training in Brighton

A pool, three chain gyms and plenty of fight clubs.

Central Brighton gives you a public pool at Prince Regent Swimming Complex on Church Street, with a 25 m main pool and a teaching pool, and three open-access chain gyms: PureGym Brighton Central, énergie Fitness and The Gym Group on Madeira Drive. Combat sports run deep here, from Brighton BJJ School and Elements Martial Arts to Kenshiro's Muay Thai and the amateur boxing clubs at Whitehawk and East Brighton. Yoga in the Lanes and small independents such as SEAGYM and Kings Gym fill the gaps.

The seafront is the city's free gym. There's a basketball court on Brighton beach, and Volk's Railway runs along the edge of the shingle from Palace Pier to Black Rock, where the Undercliff Walk sets off east under the cliffs. Grab a training partner and make the seafront your Saturday loop.
