Sussex Performance Centre

Fantastic experience: SPC has been a really welcoming community for my son, he is really enjoying his training there and has shown great improvement. Highly recommend SPC!

Fantastic experience: So I’ve been training with SPC/Jake for approx 4 months now and I certainly feel the benefits, I’m stronger, I look better and I feel mentally better in myself. Everyone challenge is different and for some (like me) a long haul, these guys are the ones to get you where you want to be!!

Fantastic experience: Sussex performance centre has really helped me with my weight loss. With Harry’s help I have so far lost over 3.5 stone. The way it works with the one on one session really makes me feel more comfortable actually going to a gym, learning what to actually do rather than going to a packed gym just staring at the equipment not knowing what to do. Not only have I lost weight I feel so much more healthier. After my first lot of session I have booked another set. The visible results are great as well. All round I’m so happy with the results I have seen so far!

Fantastic experience: My friend recommended SPC and after finally giving it a go, I haven’t looked back. This is my second 12 week course and I wish I had started sooner. The entire team are amazing, so welcoming and knowledgable. I cannot recommend SPC enough!!

Fantastic experience: Started at SPC just over a year ago not too sure what to think! A little anxious and very self conscious! Someone not fit after surgery a few years ago, not liking gyms and working out alone! Feeling my age well into my 50s I had a moment and signed up for personal training! This risk was the best decision I’ve made! Strength, stamina and increased energy! Now am at my second round of Boot Camp! Crazy and fun all in one! Circuits on steroids! However always within your own pace and capabilities! I still don’t like the gym however SPC are brilliant at being supportive, listening and encouraging but most importantly non judgemental. I don’t really write reviews but if you are reading this your already exploring the idea! Trust me this will be the best decision you make! You really will gain so much!

Fantastic experience: This is my 3rd 12 week programme at SPC. Everyone is friendly and they have created a professional yet friendly environment. I can’t speak highly enough of them all especially Michelle and Freya who coach the women’s sessions

Fantastic experience: For context, I am 54 years old and was incredibly unfit before joining SPC. I had gained a huge amount of weight and was suffering with anxiety, poor self esteem and low mental health due to menopause. I have been attending the Women's Group Training at SPC since January 2022, and have just started my third set of 12 weeks training. I attend twice a week. I actually started my SPC journey with ten personal training sessions with Harry. His experience (and patience!) helped ensure that my technique was good in order to reduce the chance of injury. These sessions gave me the confidence to join the Ladies Group Training. I do think most people could join the group without this, but I am not a gym person at all so had no idea! The group training is amazing - so inclusive - the trainers are always on hand to tailor the exercises for those who may have less experience or less mobility, but equally will encourage you to always train at your maximum effort. The resulting improvements for me have been physical as well mental - my anxiety is hugely improved and I always feel fabulous after training. My body has toned up and I am noticeably stronger and have more energy. The other ladies who attend the group are very welcoming, it's been lovely to feel a "part" of something after the separation and distancing of the last two years. I have never felt judged or less important because I'm not as far into my resistance training journey as others. Michelle and her team work hard to be encouraging, inclusive and make every session great fun. I recommend SPC to all my friends, in fact my husband now trains with Harry! I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that SPC has changed my outlook on life.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality As a junior performance tennis player I have been working with Harry from SPC improving my fitness levels. It's hard work at times but the support and encouragement I get is making a real positive difference to my game. Love SPC.

Fantastic experience: I have been personal training with Giuseppe at SPC since the summer of 2021, and I’d highly recommend joining and training there if you want to get fit, whilst having a laugh! I joined as I was getting married in October 21, G tailored my training to focus on my goal. He made sure that I was being challenged and pushed to ensure I was feeling body confident for the big day! I am the fittest I’ve ever been training at SPC, and even with an injury (broken ankle) Giuseppe is managing to keep me working out regularly! Don’t hesitate to join SPC today, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’m a personal trainer myself working from a studio, and wanted to find something that fit into my schedule, that was more sociable, that challenged me and trained efficiently but functionally. I can safely say that SPC delivers every time. I love a group training session, and prefer training with women anyway, but it was important to me to find the right place, one with zero egos, fun, but still pushed me hard, with a good range of equipment and knowledgeable coaches with a likeminded approach. If you’re a female who wants to lift weights and train well but unsure how to get into it properly, join SPC. Equally if you’re experienced, but still need a challenge, this is also for you. 5 stars from me- awesome coaches and members!

Fantastic experience: The amazing people at SPC have helped me lose 3 stone, tone up and be alot fitter than I was, I've even been paddle boarding, something I would never have the confidence to do before. Everyone is really friendly, encouraging and I look forward to my weekly workouts. Thank you all at SPC for giving me my mojo back. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of a few different gyms, and I have to say this has by far been the most effective. All the team are friendly and welcoming. Nathan put together a training plan that was tailor made for me that got results. Great value for money. I would recommend S.P.C to anyone wanting to improve their game. I will definitely be signing up for another 10 week session.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Fantastic company with first rate staff. I had some limitations post surgery when I began my training. Harry (my PT) worked hard with me week by week to gently push my body and progress to achieve more. I love every session! The team are friendly, dedicated and provide a family environment making exercise fun. 10/10

Fantastic experience: I am 2 weeks into the 12 week mens programme and I am so happy I finally signed up. I have been a long time gym user but have always struggled with purpose and motivation and as such have seen little progress. I love how SPC has different routines setup and ready to go for each session, it keeps it interesting, requires no thought on my part and maximises my time. Nathan, Tom and Guiseppe are excellent at explaining each exercise and have really motivated me to push myself during each session. They support you, encourage and make you feel great during each session. After just two weeks I am feeling fantastic and can already tell the sessions are making an impact to my strength, fitness and overall wellness. If you’re thinking about joining or having PT I honestly don’t think there is better in Worthing or surrounding area and wish I had signed up sooner!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous place and everyone is friendly and welcoming. Really enjoying the ladies group sessions. Definitely put you through your paces and you get a good workout whilst ensuring good form/technique throughout. They will adapt an exercise for you if needed. Each session is different and you use a variety of weights and equipment. Love seeing my strength increase and fitness improved. Thank you SPC.

Fantastic experience: SPC is such an amazing community and awesome place to train! The facilities are excellent and the team provides a really varied training program throughout the 12 week block. The sessions can be tough but are always fun. I have noticed a marked improvement in my overall fitness and feel more confident now using weights at SPC and on my own.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a supportive and welcoming fitness training centre, then SPC is the place! I have been going for 3 months now and thoroughly enjoyed the varied training program. The coaching team are amazing and have been super welcoming as have the all the members…I was looking to join a group that would help encourage me, push me and feel part of team/community and I have certainly found that within SPC! Thanks team SPC

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love my morning sessions here. Great bunch of women, fabulous variation of activities whilst using a range of different equipment working all parts of the body. Motivating instructors ensuring you get the most out of your visit. Five star review !

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of SPC for 10 months now, having only originally joined for a 12 week block. Each session session is planned out and every coach is knowledgeable and encouraging throughout the sessions. Going to a new exercise space can often feel intimidating but SPC were welcoming from day 1. My favourite part the community vibe and the way members encourage each other is great! My weeks wouldn’t be the same without my SPC early mornings.

Fantastic experience: Sussex performance centre is by far the best gym I have attended! All the staff are incredibly welcoming and supportive with all your goals. Before joining SPC I found myself getting anxious and feeling overwhelmed when walking into a gym environment, often not knowing what to do, however the staff at SPC have made me feel very comfortable and supported me with trying out new exercises, giving me the confidence boost I needed! Having completed one 12 week Group training program I signed up for another 12 weeks as well as starting PT sessions with Freya ! I look forward to every time I have a session at SPC, even bright and early at 6:30 in the morning Thank you SPC team!!

Fantastic experience: SPC is by far the most welcoming gym I've ever been to. I felt immediately comfortable and supported from day 1. My strength, fitness and confidence have all improved hugely from training with the women's group. The expertise of all of the trainers really shows, and under their guidance I feel confident to try exercises that I would never attempt on my own due to their excellent coaching. I recommend SPC to everyone!

Fantastic experience: In 2020 and during lockdown I experienced a sudden close family bereavement. The weeks and months that followed saw me on a bit of a self destruct, low confidence, probably punishing myself a bit and generally just looking after everyone else. I also work at home which can also be quite isolating. In late 2021 a good friend mentioned SPC to me and how much it would help me to do something for 'me'. Although I consider myself active - I am outdoorsy and love walking my dogs in the woods, I have always stayed away from organised exercise, especially a gym environment which used to put shivers down my spine. Fortunately for me, my friend had the right approach and didn't hassle me but just sewed the seed of the idea, gently encouraging me over the next few weeks. In March I finally made the phone call to Michelle who couldn't have been more supportive and boosted my confidence that I could give this a go. Because I was so nervous, I decided to have a personal training session with Michelle before the group training started. I absolutely loved this hour and at 46 it was the very first time in my life I had done something in a gym. A week later group training begun and I have never looked back. I have made some lovely friends (one very good one) and feel like a new person. We are almost on week 11 and I cant imagine that I will ever stop now. I already feel fitter, Ive lost almost a stone and the sessions are the highlight of my week. I think for everyone it is important to remember that people join for lots of reasons, for me it wasnt just fitness but confidence and doing something slightly out of my comfort zone. Giuseppe, Jake, Michelle and Annie are incredibly knowledgeable and so, so professional. I cannot recommend this gym enough. It is so very welcoming. My 15 year old son has also joined the youth group and I am not sure who loves it the most, him or me! Its a close call that's for sure.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a gym/fitness instructor/personal trainer look no further as SPC is an all in one package for you. I underwent major cancer surgery last year, and due to this my shoulders and arms were very restricted in movement. I had a number of visits to the physiotherapist, which helped to an extent, but I was unable to get to a fully functional capacity. I felt a personal trainer was necessary, someone who can tailor make a programme to get my strength and movement back to normal. So, when I searched for a personal trainer, I came across all the local gyms and then SPC. Once I had a look at their website I immediately felt, this is what I wanted; a personal trainer who is friendly, understands my situation, a tailor-made program which is effective and not intimidating. Once I had my first session at SPC, it ticked all the boxes and much more. They are the best fitness team you can find. Extremely friendly, very understanding and encouraging. Jake is very knowledgeable, patient and funny too. My one-hour session goes so quick with Jake and without me realising, he has improved my strength by manifold. And looking back, in just over two months’ time, I cannot believe what I CAN do. All credit goes to Jake without a shadow of doubt. And all this while talking about our common interests, including cricket !! In addition, my wife Meena has started along with me. She has been diagnosed with arthritis almost two years ago and we are amazed to see the huge improvement in her strength and ability to do things which she previously found difficult. If anyone is unable to decide whether SPC is for you or not, I can vouch for it and say look no further, give it a try! You would be joining the ever-growing fan club of SPC and Dennis the dog!!( part of the team) Thank you all at SPC Jake, Nathan, Tom, Michelle, and everyone else for the relaxed atmosphere you create and make fitness fun with incredible results.

Fantastic experience: Personal training with SPC has exceeded my expectations and become an important part of my routine. Being disabled, mainstream gyms don’t always suit me. I started with Harry and the team following an injury to my knee and not wanting to train with lots of people due to Covid-19. Now, I’m getting targeted support with my knee, am stronger than I have been for ages and really enjoy the sessions. Thanks so much.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with great coaches. The small group training sessions are really well run and enjoyable, with plenty of variety week to week.

Fantastic experience: SPC were recommended to me following a number of years membership at another well known national gym. SPC put me together with Harry, one of the personal trainers. Harry and the team have been excellent, the whole experience is tailored perfectly to my goals. Harry and the team have been extremely flexible and accommodating when trying to schedule training sessions around home and a busy work diary. Most of all, the team are friendly, dedicated and professional. I have been having PT sessions with Harry for six months now and seen such huge improvements in my personal fitness levels, with noticeable results and a much clearer understanding of how to exercise properly. Also, how to eat a more healthy diet. Just small tips that make you more aware of what you’re eating. I would not hesitate to recommend Harry and the team to anyone keen too improve their own personal fitness.

Fantastic experience: I'm loving the coaching sessions at SPC! Everyone is so friendly and makes you feel so welcome! I've been having coaching for a month now with Harry and can feel the difference in my strength already! He has fantastic knowledge and experience to put together a session that helps progress me and also takes into account my current injury and is also great fun! I totally feel like I'm in the hands of professionals! Very pleased!

Fantastic experience: I’ve now been going to Sussex Performance Centre for the last 7 weeks. Firstly I signed up for a 5 week Personal Training Course and more recently myself and my wife have been attending their 39 minute blast sessions on a Saturday morning. Before I talk about me and the benefits I’ve had on my body and mind let’s talk about the team at SPC. Every single one of the trainers are fab people. Friendly, welcoming, accommodating and so so knowledgeable in their profession. I learn something new every week. Harry my PT has been pure class and he’s not only helped me in reaching my goals in such a short space of time but he’s also made me reflect on the insight he gives me every week. Nathan has also always encouraged me but more importantly pushed me further each week. So in 7 weeks I have pretty much achieved what I originally set out to do. I’ve lost just over a stone in weight and gained muscle definition. I’ve also got so much fitter and am doing things physically at the age of 51 I didn’t think I could. The routine and support has therefore made me mentally so much fitter and I’m now exploring and seeing more health benefits through nutrition and what I’m Putting into my body and improved sleep. Finally, Dennis the resident dog is the sweetest dog you’ll ever meet and all adding to the home from home feeling you get as soon as you walk thought the door into Sussex Performance Centre.

Fantastic experience: This place is absolutely fantastic. I'm currently 8 weeks into the 10 week personal training course, and prior to joining i had very little experience with working out beyond running, and had never been to a gym before and though i was looking to improve my health overall - i didn't really know where to start. Harry not only helped me set some goals to aim for - week in week out he has helped me smash them. In just the 8 weeks that i've been going here, with the help of Harry, i've managed to drop from 87kg to 80kg and increase my strength pretty significantly. I really recommend it to anyone, especially if you're someone like me who isn't quite sure on what to do, and also needs that extra push.

Fantastic experience: Joining the SPC community has been the best decision. To be part of a welcoming, friendly gym environment along with fantastic and tailored programmes has improved my fitness abilities considerably, allowed me to hit new goals and given me confidence. I can’t recommend SPC enough!

Fantastic experience: The whole SPC team are amazing. I've been hooked for over two years; attending the women's group training and more recently having PT's to support my marathon training. Harry has been great at getting me marathon ready! I especially love the community spirit and comradery at SPC. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have really enjoyed my time at Sussex Performance Centre. I joined wanting to add cross training to my running and not only has it helped my running massively but the atmosphere at group training has really boosted my self confidence. Everyone is so supportive and friendly. It's a real community feel and I just love going!

Fantastic experience: The entire SPC team are amazing (especially Denis) - If you have any type of health or fitness goal, this is where you need to be! Friendly and welcoming atmosphere - You don't have to be an elite athlete to come here, everyone is welcome - Highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I joined SPC about a month ago and have enjoyed every session. The trainers are always very helpful and motivating and I’m starting to see results already. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Nathan, Michelle, Tom and the team are inspirational in their support and encouragement towards all of the members of SPC. On a personal note, Nathan has been motivational and very supportive in helping me achieve my goal of improving my fitness and wellbeing, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone wanting to improve their fitness.

Fantastic experience: My 8 year old son has been working with Harry @sussex performance Centre for 10 weeks,he has seen great improvements and Harry has done all he can to keep it interesting and enjoyable as he is so young! Great team!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to train!! Very friendly atmosphere with trainers who care about their clients. Some great social events that really create special connection between members and the trainers! 100% would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality SPC is brilliantly unique!! I do not know of many fitness locations that have this amazingly supportive community feel, the coaches are not only lovely people but so knowledgeable and welcoming. I can't recommend joining enough!! you wont regret it :)

Fantastic experience: I’m two weeks into the 12 week course and am already feeling the benefit. The workouts are varied, interesting and push you to your limits. The results, even after such a short time, are far and away better than beginners could achieve in the gym on their own. Friendly environment, good group of lads, no egos, just hard work. Tom, Nathan and Harry who lead the sessions are really helpful and encouraging. Cannot recommend SPC enough.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I have personal training sessions once a week and I look forward to going each week. Nathan keeps every session interesting and working to my goals. I love the environment as it’s like my own private gym when I’m with Nathan. I would 100% recommend (don’t tell him but I would pay more than he charge, amazing value)

Fantastic experience: Joined the team at SPC a few months back now and have loved every session. I had trained prior to this for a good few years but hit a wall with training and goals, SPC has given me exactly what I needed, challenging, engaging and enjoyable group sessions. Great coaches, well planned and balanced classes and an awesome bunch of lads! Couldn't recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to SPC over 2 years now. I started off with personal training with Tom, and the group training with Tom and Nathan. I then went on to do the body composition programme which also made a huge difference. All in all, SPC is fantastic. Everyone is really friendly, and the banter in group sessions is quite entertaining when you’re able to catch your breath. Overall, the challenge level in group sessions seems to be constantly going up and up and I have noticed my own improvement which is a major boost. Tom and Nathan are incredibly supportive, and really hold one to account. Also, as a lover of routine and some consistency in the madness that life after 30 has to offer, SPC has been a major well-being contributor to my life, and an absolute asset to this industry in Worthing.

Fantastic experience: I first started yoga at SPC almost a year ago now and I have loved it. Annette is brilliant and very welcoming. I am a complete beginner and I was nervous about first starting in a group but Annette put me completely at ease. Now that it's moved to Level 1, I am loving starting Sunday mornings doing yoga by the beach. I would fully recommend Annette's classes to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Every instructor at SPC is special; a team of trainers with outstanding ability and knowledge. I have been training with Nathan for 9 years and at 76 years old I am so much stronger, fitter and feeling younger than I did all those years ago - his belief in what I can achieve inspires me and every week he challenges me to attain more PB’s using all the technique he has taught me. Training with Nathan at The SPC gym is the highlight of my week, even though I work incredibly hard, it’s great fun , the banter is hilarious and when I leave I feel energised, happy and ready to take the challenge of running my cancer support charity, It’s a very unique gym with a beautiful team and it’s full of lovely members… I say ‘if you are looking to get fit and improve you health - there is no better place to be than SPC ..

Fantastic experience: What I love about SPC is how approachable, professional and knowledgeable Tom, Nathan and Michelle are. It’s the complete opposite to walking into any other gym or leisure centre - everyone is smiling, approachable, welcoming and there’s certainly no egos! I’ve known the team for a couple years now - I’ve previously done 1-1 coaching with Tom and I look forward to starting the men’s group training in September!

Fantastic experience: SPC really is MORE than a gym! It has a great community feel and friendly atmosphere. I was so nervous when I started because the usual gym settings gave me such bad anxiety but this is a completely different vibe and I was instantly made to feel so comfortable. I originally started doing PT sessions with Michelle (best PT out there!) and now I do the women's group sessions twice a week, yoga on Sundays with the magnificent Annette and on a nutrition journey with Tom. The whole team have helped me grow with confidence and empowered. Can't recommend them ENOUGH!

Fantastic experience: I came to SPC women’s group wanting to regain muscle strength post surgery, but have got way more out of the classes than strength alone. It’s a very welcoming and inclusive community which has helped me regain confidence after my operation and also helped me make new friends and keep my mental health in check during the pandemic. So much more than a regular gym. Classes are always engaging and challenging and FUN !! Many thanks to Michelle and the Team. X

Fantastic experience: I was recommended SPC by a friend and decided to have a go at personal training to develop my confidence in lifting weights and using equipment. I came in after a long time away from the gym and I felt instantly at ease; by the team and especially by Harry. His expertise and knowing when to push and when to introduce different things was spot on. It has been a fantastic experience and I feel so confident now walking into any gym. Thank you to all at SPC.

Fantastic experience: SPC group training you work hard and efficiently for the hour session. It’s nice turning up and not having to think about what equipment is free and what to work on. The routine / workout has been pre planned to maximise the hour session. Comparing to a traditional gym membership, motivation can get flat and you easily find excuses not to attend. However at SPC with Nathan and Tom, they’re relentlessly keeping in touch and making sure you’re going to be at the next session to maximise your results and not allow room for any complacency.

Fantastic experience: My mum and I are doing the 12 week woman’s program and I was nervous to start but it is the most welcoming group and the staff know absolutely everything. Michelle can tailor any session to everyone there and I’ve reached targets I never thought I could. It is by far the best gym and fitness experience I have had and I am enjoying every second of it.

Fantastic experience: Once I left the Army I struggled to find a decent gym with the same motivational instructors and fun hardworking atmosphere when one of my mates introduced me to SPC. I spent 6 months with the team there before moving abroad and I loved it, to this day Nathan still sends me workouts abroad and the latest information to keep active and healthy just because he cares about his members. They really care about their gym members unlike other gyms. Will definitely jump into there sessions when I’m back in the UK. Cheers guys for everything.

Fantastic experience: The group sessions and personal training is fantastic, individually focused helping you achieve your goals and the coaches enthusiasm and encouragement helps you stay the course. Great environment and equipment, better than any gym I've experienced. SPC has changed my life!
