Good range of strength equipment including 4 Hammer Strength racks (2 with platforms) and a separate S&C room with 9 powerlifting cages bolted together. Plenty of bumber plates and bars.

Good gym with plenty of equipment - however the showers are out of order and have been in over a week now, as advised before by Uni of sussex Sports Complex I spoke to reception staff about the issue and they are none the wiser as to when the showers will be fixed - went home wet & sweaty, thank
University of Sussex Falmer Sports Complex says:
Sorry Thomas about this i can confirm three shower areas are now back open to use and we hope to have the other four ready to use next week. Apologies again for any inconvenience caused. Sussexsport Team

quality gym, not issue at all with the gym but changing rooms can be a little messy at times, mud on floor & in the showers
University of Sussex Falmer Sports Complex says:
Thanks Thomas noted please feel free to let reception know if changing rooms are not to your liking as we can do spot cleans

Great gym, just have to be careful and chose right time a day as want to avoid the pre booked exercise classes which has exclusive use of one of the rooms, therefore taking up one third of the available space and equipment
University of Sussex Falmer Sports Complex says:
Thanks Thomas for the positive feedback and noted on the class issue although would suggest there are still three areas out of four to use if required although respect it can feel busier

Excellent gym at an excellent location. ALL Cardio equipment is always available. It doesn't bother me at all, but sometimes the music becomes too loud and too annoying. Is this indeed something cool, and has the music indeed anything to do with the true spirit of athletics?

Good selection of free weights and some speciality bars not always found in other gyms (safety squat bar, Swiss bar). The reverse hyper machine is the only one in Brighton I've come across so far. The lighting isn't very good in the gym, though.

Thanks Ben for the positive feedback. Noted on the lighting will look into Sussexsport Team

Thanks Thomas for the feedback and yes the showers have been an issue for some time now, however it is hope the planned works over the Xmas holidays might fix this issue, which will be a real positive. Thanks for your continued support. Sussexsport team
