Game4Padel Withdean Sports Complex

Such a shame. This should be a really good gym, there's lots of facilities, tennis courts, gym, squash, outdoor tennis, sauna, and runs fitness and yoga classes - everything is there to make it a great experience. It's clean, staff are helpful and even has a great cafe area. However, it is sadly totally over subscribed, and quite often some of the gym kit will be out of action for quite some time. It has 5 decent running machines, with tv screens and global running routes available, but I've lost count of the amount of times a couple of these have been switched off, meaning a long wait to get on a working one. Even at 6 in the morning it can be just too busy. There's an app to enable to you book onto the classes, but these are always fully booked 2 weeks in advance. You can join a waiting list, but by the time a notification comes through of a cancellation the space is already taken. I went today, a working Friday at 10am, and couldn't even get into the car park - presumably as it's now used as a park and ride into town. It's a council facility but it's not cheap, I pay a lot of money each month and it's extremely frustrating when you're not able to use it as you wish. They really should limit the amount of members if they want to fully utilise the potential here. My subscription is now cancelled and I'll be going elsewhere.

We were able to park with ease, our journey was quite long so we popped into the sports centre to make sure about the parking which was free for 3 hours. The sports complex had a great cafe ,we asked if we could use the loo, no problem was the reply by the most helpful staff on reception, we were asked on the way by another member of staff who was equally helpful. What a great place!!!

Popped into the reception at Withdean Sports Complex today to get some info on Tennis lessons for my daughter. I spoke with James and Ross at reception who were both very helpful and knowledgeable. The sports complex is absolutely stacked with options for health and fitness including- Tennis Squash Gym Treatment rooms Athletics track (home of Phoenix Brighton running club I believe) Cafe As well as all the above, its home to High Sports Brighton which is a phenomenal indoor roped climbing and bouldering facility.
