Sapien Training

Fantastic experience: Been to Sapien may times. Rich knows far more than most trainers I have met. The gym is really friendly and, refreshingly, it wasn't full of people taking pictures of their biceps and bums. Rich did a postural analysis on me which accorded to what both a podiatrist and osteopath said. He gave me a programme to help address my imbalance. Don't know much about Yoga, but Rosie led me through a class and I really enjoyed it and she was friendly and helpful. Thanks to Sapien

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Sapiens gym. Rich and his amazing team are smashing it. Small, independent gym in a beautiful building set in the Sussex country side. There is a great community with fun classes. As I work for myself, it is great to have a space to go in the morning or evening where there will always been a lovely bunch of people working towards their goals, Thank you Rich and the team, Isobel X

Fantastic experience: I went to see Claire for a massage and it was absolutely incredible! I can’t believe how cheap she is and how amazing!! Highly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Epic! Loved these guys. Hired their yoga studio for breathwork. Rosie made it swift and easy to deal with the booking, and Rich was such a friendly and super helpful guy. They were so helpful on the day, and the space is perfect! I'm 100% going to use their beautiful studio again. Thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Professional and highly responsive management. Super friendly too. Really flexible with bookings & generous with offers, packages & discounts for the various rooms (sizes and time slots) I don’t work 9-5 & so happy about the late evening & weekend flexibility they give me which clients also love. Parking, toilets, Wi-Fi, basically anything required to run your particular sessions. Amazing app for booking rooms which is a game changer from the regular rental spaces on offer. Just off the A23 so very convenient from most locations. I come from Gatwick and only 25 mins which is less than going to my previous clinic in central hassocks as avoiding town traffic. Great for clients to access you, even by bus from Brighton or Henfield/Horsham… If you’re looking for room hire as a professional practitioner then I’d recommend Sapiens everyday!

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Sapien training and Rich enough. After a nasty leg break he has been helping me with my rehabilitation. Highly recommend to anyone in a similar situation.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym and yoga studio set 5 mins outside Brighton in a converted barn just off the A23. Friendly, personalised and unlike any other gym I’ve been to. No machines, just weights and body work. I went to improve my strength and mobility for tennis and Padel and am enjoying strength and mobility work for the first time in 30 years! I’ve also already noticed significant improvements in two months and now enjoy these sessions as much as my Padel/tennis. Great flexible pricing structure too - classes, monthly membership and personal training. Congratulations to Rich and Rosie on creating such a great and welcoming (for all ages and bodies) facility.

Fantastic experience: I work a fairly static job and frequently find myself with a stiff neck, sore back and even a poor posture. The programmes and expert guidance from both Rich and Rosie have vastly improved my overall mobility & I’ve seen a massive improvement in these issues since joining. Quite simply; these guys offer something beyond any other gym I’ve attended in the past.

Fantastic experience: Rich and Rosie have helped me grow stronger, more flexible and generally more confident in my self. 18 years ago I was temporarily paralysed and suffered long term weakness with mobility, with the expert training from Rich we recently walked to the summit of Snowdonia. Something I never thought I could achieve, all credit to Rich. C

Fantastic experience: If the hospitality and overall kindness to strangers is anything to go by - the gym and yoga training at Sapien must be brilliant! There I was, on the A23, driving from Sussex to Kent - when my clutch starting to fail ....I was not popular with the other drivers on the road. I looked frantically for a slip road exit. One appeared!! I ground to a halt near a sign asking people NOT to park - it was getting dark and I was surrounded by trees.... The RAC said they'd be 2 - 3 hours... I got out of the car feeling a bit frantic and saw the SAPIEN sign and rang them..No worries was the immediate response - maybe we can help? Out came Rich (owner) and Rich (customer) and not only tried to see if they could help with the car, but then drove it gently to their car park and suggested I hang out on their sofa drinking tea while I waited!! They were seriously good guys - and gave me a tour of their gorgeous premises - kettlebells gleaming and calm music playing .... I cannot recommend you trying them out if exercise in the friendliest surroundings is your thing - Thanks, Sapien - I'll be seeing you!! Anne xxxx

Fantastic experience: Super happy to have found this place, absolutely fantastic yoga/fitness trainers, in a gorgeous setting and a really funny dog. Totally suitable for all ages / abilities, everything is tailored to the individual, give it a try, you'll love it.

Fantastic experience: Just been for my PT session with Rich. Clearly knows his stuff and asked the right questions that got me thinking about what my body needs and how I can reconnect to it again. Brilliant alternative to the gym scene. Approachable and humorous too.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful and well-thought out studio in the most amazing location. Rosie and Rich are so welcoming and friendly, they really make you feel at home. I can highly recommend Rosie's yoga class. The space Rosie has created is so warm and relaxing, it's the perfect studio to unwind in. The classes are so well thought out too. Every class is different and allow you to explore different poses and techniques with Rosie' encouragement and support. My favourite workout of the week for sure, I always leave feeling energised and relaxed - the ultimate combo!

Fantastic experience: Rich was my PT through COVID and I had a unreal experience with him! Not only did he set me with realistic goals to achieve (which I have achieved) he gave me confidence to continue with my fitness journey!! Such a nice genuine bloke with a lot of passion for others to progress. 100% recommend using and abusing his GYM as i can guarantee you will reach your goals and enjoy doing it.

Fantastic experience: Rich has so much anatomical knowledgeable and puts this to good use when designing exercises. He is very motivational and even if you don't feel like exercise, he gets us moving. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Yoga with Rosie every Monday is such a treat. 5 minutes up the road from Brighton is this fabulous studio. Surrounded by views of countryside it is the perfect environment for a yoga practice. Whether you want an restorative flow or something more energising Rosie is the person for you. She caters for individuals who are new to yoga to those more advanced. She will give you a variety of modifications suitable to your level. I find hers a safe environment to challenge myself with more complex poses with her support. This yoga class is the highlight of my week and thoroughly recommend it.
