Adapt Fitness - Gym and Fitness Studios in Hove

I’ve been to quite a few gyms in Brighton and Hove over the years. Some are good, some are bad, some are REALLY bad. Adapt is the best I’ve been to, by a mile, and it’s where I’m going to stay. It’s really friendly, welcoming, clean, reasonably priced and has all the equipment you will ever need.The equipment is also really high quality and proper professional, not the bog standard entry level stuff you get in a budget chain. Whether you’re a newbie or an old pro, the gym is perfect for you, and has everything you need to take you on your journey, from the incredible e-gym to the professional grade resistance machines and free weights, to the high quality and accessible classes and the absolutely superb R3D option (which is well worth asking about if you’re a little nervous or anxious about entering a gym for the first time or want to turbo boost your progress with some professional PT support with exercise and nutrition in small friendly supportive groups).Go along, ask for a look around and join. Your only regret will be you didn’t find it years ago.

Moved to Adapt from one of the big chain gyms.Pros:1. More of a community" feel.2. Decent selection of equipment3. Sauna is a nice plus.Cons:1. Slightly overpriced.2. Grotty changing rooms/showers. Need to be cleaned more regularly and drains unblocked.3. Functional areas are always being used by PTs. Sometimes only one PT in there using the whole space. Would be nice to use that space more often for the amount of money paid. Often don't have enough room to do my plyometrics.Overall a decent gym but can be great with some tweaks."

Best gym I have ever used, it’s not intimidating I feel completely at ease staff are friendly great atmosphere and fab equipment would highly recommend.

Great gym, new equipment and extra benefit of a sauna. Very friendly and attentive reception staff. The gym owner Wes is really nice and cares about having well kept equipment and clean environment.I started with some PT sessions with Adam and he is great and very knowledgeable, he explains things to me well and made a balanced weekly workout plan for me. Best gym I’ve been to!

This is such a good gym! The trainers are very friendly and there's a great variety of classes. Highly recommend.

Fantastic gym, great equipment, clean: all round great facilities. Staff always have a smile: highly recommended.

Good gym overall, however there are WAY too many people for the capacity offered. Today I went to the gym, and every bench/machine/treading mill … you name it was taken. The worse feeling ever is being unable to do absolutely anything. If this persists I will probably change gym, it ruins my whole workout motivation wise and plan wise. However, the staff is really nice and they do offer some very good stretching classes.

When Sports Direct Hove shut their doors on members & Staff in November 2022, I did a lot of checking for a viable replacement and changed gyms to Adapt.I wish I had done so years ago. Equipment is first class; staff are friendly, helpful, and most importantly there is a sauna.Another bonus is the members (all I have seen or had dealings with) are friendly normal and human.Finally, well done to Wes the owner for running a well-equipped and laid out gym without charging silly prices.Highly recommended.Update September 2023 - Still a top gym & great atmosphere.

I love this gym. I've been a member for over 10 years and am very happy. Great equipment, a friendly atmosphere and brilliant people that work there. Highly recommend!
