Hastings Gym Market - Overview
Hastings is an East Sussex coastal town of around 92,000, famous as the namesake of the 1066 Battle and home to one of the UK's last surviving beach-launched fishing fleets at the Stade. The town pairs traditional seaside tourism with a growing creative-industries cluster centred on St Leonards-on-Sea. The Gym Group and Anytime Fitness lead the value 24/7 segment, with Freedom Leisure running Summerfields Sports Centre and Falaise Pool as the council pool venues.
