The classes have a great atmosphere and good communication with his friends. Ivam is a very good and friendly sensei. Thank you very much for the very good teaching and professional attitude! Once again thanks Ivam!”

“Bought a wetsuit , boots and a new leash - it’s been a while and wetsuit technology has moved on ; Not to fear, a really helpful & enthusiastic young man was on hand to talk me through the array of advancements, understood my needs and hooked me up with kit that’s spot on - his obvious experience shining through. Once home with my purchases, sadly not everything was smelling of roses , however that’s when a retailer really shows its metal - a brief website ‘chat’ and the issue was sorted , no quibbles - that’s a shop you’ll want to do business with again - and again - and again - Great service isn’t difficult , sadly many don’t manage it - Boardriders do - give them a go”

“Annie was superb at providing the best advice and support for returning to sport after a knee injury. She is extremely knowledgeable and gave cost-effective recommendations on a knee strap, a comprehensive exercise regime and rehabilitation advice. These have given me the confidence and ability to return to sport.”

“I’ve been seeing Georgie for years for any injuries I have. Her wide knowledge in sports injuries as well as Pilates expertise means I have always got an amazing treatment plan. I would not choose anyone else to help get me back in my running trainers!”

“What an experience, couldn't recommend enough!! Amazing staff and service, we all had the most amazing time and cannot wait to go back! Would rate higher if I could! Adam and Liam were brilliant, couldn't of asked for more. Thank you to all at Brighton Boating.”

“Excellent coaching and training, a great, modern facility, a great community and team atmosphere and excellent kids classes. I've trained a many BJJ gyms around the world and Grand Union Brighton is certainly world class. Cesar and Mario are expert coaches at the highest level who make sure training is fun, safe, challenging and rewarding. There is a great mix of levels and styles in the people who train there but there is a consistent culture of respect, friendship and mutual progression. Very highly recommended for beginners and experts alike.”

“Joining a course at the Book Club School was a brillant idea of mine . Why? As it is ideal for those who want to improve their English and enjoy reading and talking about books in a relaxed atmosphere. You can choose from books ranging from classic novels to current bestsellers at different levels of English. In weekly meetings you talk about the chapters you had to read „for homework“… always guided and supported by a very competent teacher. What is more, you get to know book lovers from all over Europe, which makes talking about books even more interesting.”

“My son and daughter have been attending for around 3 years, and my son had never been in a swimming pool when he started due to COVID. Their teachers have been brilliant and in that time they’ve moved up classes three times. They love Martine who is kind and supportive, but pushes them to go that little bit extra.”

“I joined when I was 16 and since then I've kept going. I go even when I'm not initially in the mood because I know I will end up enjoying it even on a bad day. The class presents a good physical challenge and it has made me much stronger, faster and more flexible. Also it's very fun to get beaten up by black belts! The people who go are all very nice and great to hang out with. The instructor Mr Mayes is very professional and experienced. Definitely the best martial arts class in Brighton. Additionally, now I can also walk on rocks because my feet have become a lot harder. One of the best ways to do fitness and way more fun than going to the gym. 100% recommended.”

“This organisation not only betters it’s local community but is also a monument to the philosophies of martial arts. Completely epic club. Terrific coaches, super friendly welcoming. And they host exceptional inter-club. Shout out to Sam Byron-Winters, Christina Jo and Jack Davies. Superb team. Would recommend Nam Yang to anyone.”

“Completed my RYA 1&2 with Brighton Watersports. The instructors were great - patient, competent and thorough. Doing the training in fresh water at Piddinghoe is perfect for beginners as there's no tide to worry about and club house provides a warm refuge if you fall in.”

“I’ve had a couple of lessons as I’ve been away from the sport for a few years. The first was with Christine on a light wind day but was still really useful as she gave me some great tips on keeping the kite flying and also showed me the self rescue which I used the following week! My second lesson was with David on a much windier day. Again, I was given loads of really useful tips which gave me a really marked progression over the 2 hours spent together. Money very well spent!”

“Yes it is a very lovely gym where I feel very sure I am okay with the workout etc etc”

“Our daughter has just completed Year 7 in Burgess Hill Girls and she has loved every minute of it. The school environment is nurturing and positive and over the last year we have seen her grow in confidence and become more independent. The support from teachers and staff is amazing and the children benefit from smaller class sizes and a wide range of subjects taught in an engaging manner. She has developed strong friendship groups with other pupils from her classes but also from across the school. She often tells us how much she loves being here and has even mentioned missing school over the summer holidays. A lovely school, highly recommended!”

“Great climbing gym. The staff are lovely and the facilities are good. It is different from Boulder Brighton. Id say the training area is better. The bouldering has improved since the change of ownership and is now worth a trip for every reset. The new board is also very nice.”

“Great way to spend an hour or two. We were a stag group of 12, and I only spoke to really helpful people both during the planning of it, and on the day itself. Really enthusiastic and helpful customer service, and the course itself is really well kept (if not challenging on a couple of holes). Cracking views on some of the holes were a nice surprise too. Would highly recommend.”

“Great swim school. Highly recommend for adults who need some coaching. I loved my one week intensive for front crawl. Brilliant teachers.”

“great place to work out but also great to take pictures as a cute anime girl. 10/10 everyone should try it”

“We had a great time at the Longhill Sports Centre for the Foot Darts! Well worth the time and money, the coach made it fun and defo worth the visit!”

“Fiona is hands down the best yoga instructor I’ve ever had. Her charisma, passion, and deep knowledge made the class truly special. I really appreciated how she took the time to help me improve my posture and ensure I was getting the most out of each pose. I’m definitely looking forward to coming back for more!" Leti”

“Great kite surf school, had a lesson yesterday with Stephen, who was extremely patient and helpful. Even went on abit longer to ensure that I had a successful launch for a confidence boost. Hopefully will only need one more lesson, will be coming back when the wind is good!”

“We recently got back in touch with MXT, and within a handful of lessons, I have already noticed and huge improvement in my daughters physical ability and her swimming capabilities. I am so impressed with their knowledge, how they engage and make it fun , each lesson is tailored individually. The pool,and changing facilities are always clean and you often see being cleaned by staff. Thanks you MXT!!!”

“Great dancing school, my daughter has been going to WWSD for the last 5 years and loves it. Wendy and all the teachers are so lovely, would highly recommend this school.”
