We list 24 gyms across Brighton and Hove, fifteen of them rated, with an average of 4.62 on Google. That average hides a split: the busiest gyms score lower than the quiet ones.
Do high ratings mean the best gyms in Brighton and Hove?
Not on their own. The three listings with the most reviews score 4.3, 3.4 and 3.1, while the 5.0s mostly come from single-digit review counts. The table shows the top twelve listings by review count; the other twelve aren't described here.
| Gym | Rating | Reviews | Street |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Gym Group Brighton Madeira Drive | 4.3 | 366 | Unit 9 Madeira Dr |
| Sportsdirect Fitness Hove | 3.4 | 138 | St Heliers Ave |
| David Lloyd Brighton | 3.1 | 121 | Brighton Marina |
| Elements Martial Arts Brighton | 5.0 | 113 | St James's St |
| Green Gym Group | 4.8 | 55 | St James's St |
| Revolution Pts Hove | 5.0 | 28 | 12c Grand Ave |
| Brighton Kick Boxing & Self Defence | 5.0 | 6 | Barrack Yard |
| Yvette Knapman | 5.0 | 5 | Church Pl |
| Neilon PT - Personal Training, Brighton | 5.0 | 5 | 39 St James's St |
| Vanda Scaravelli Yoga With Sophie Whiting | 5.0 | 3 | 5 Stanley St |
| Niki G Pilates | 5.0 | 3 | 159 Portland Rd |
| Hypoxi | 5.0 | 1 | 28 Foundry St |
Which listings pair a good score with real volume?
Two stand clear. Elements Martial Arts Brighton holds 5.0 across 113 reviews, which is rare, and Green Gym Group sits at 4.8 over 55. Revolution Pts Hove has 5.0 over 28, a decent sample. The Gym Group Brighton Madeira Drive earns a quieter compliment: 4.3 from 366 people is about as dependable as a score gets in this data.
Our read on the big chains is cooler. Sportsdirect Fitness Hove (3.4 from 138) and David Lloyd Brighton (3.1 from 121) are middling, and the volume means it isn't a fluke.
What about the single-digit listings?
Lots of them. Several names are single practitioners or studios: the name Niki G Pilates says Pilates, Vanda Scaravelli Yoga With Sophie Whiting says yoga, Neilon PT says personal training, and Yvette Knapman is a personal name with nothing else attached. Hypoxi has one review. A perfect score from one to six people is an invitation to ask questions, not a verdict.
Where are the gyms listed?
St James's St appears three times in our data. The rest scatter across Madeira Dr, St Heliers Ave, Brighton Marina, Grand Ave, Church Pl, Stanley St, Portland Rd, Foundry St and Barrack Yard, where Brighton Kick Boxing & Self Defence is listed upstairs from a nursery. We don't hold distances or travel times.
What do we not know?
Prices, for a start. We have none. Of the 24 listings, four carry opening hours, five a phone number, nine a website and three photos. Who offers classes or what equipment you'd find isn't in our data, and a name won't tell you. Ask for a trial pass and read the contract terms first.
