Fantastic experience: When I moved to Brighton a few years ago I knew no one, and was in desperate need of a community-feel fitness family. Not one based around competition and stats. One based around a supportive, personalised journey of recovery. I tried many many gyms in Brighton. None matched up to Lucy and what she's built at The Box. Later, I continued to train through pregnancy and am now bouncing back post birth, all thanks to The Box. Come join the family!

Fantastic experience: An absolutely amazing place with great people. I've attended PT Classes and Group Classes here for a while and It's been the only place so far that's been able to kick my motivation to work out into gear. Even when you are new or in bad shape there is no judgement. Only guiding hands to get you where you need to be. When I was injured they helped me manage the injury and found ways to work around it without making me uncomfortable. If you are a first timer. This is the place to go. If you are looking for a very targeted approach, these are also your people. There is something here for everyone and I can certainly recommend the boxing rounds class. It has done wonders for me and I look forward to it every single time.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of joining a fantastic The Box that offers a wide range of classes, including boxing and strength and conditioning. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that instantly made me feel welcome. The instructors at the box are truly top-notch. Their expertise and passion for fitness shine through in every class. Whether it's the high-intensity boxing sessions or the challenging strength and conditioning workouts, they always push you to your limits while ensuring proper form and technique. They have a knack for motivating and inspiring you to give it your all, making each class an exhilarating and rewarding experience. The camaraderie and positive energy in The Box are truly infectious , creating an environment that keeps you motivated and coming back for more. The facility itself is well-maintained and equipped with all the necessary tools and equipment for a great workout. The spacious training area allows for plenty of room to move around and perform exercises comfortably. The cleanliness and organization of the space are also commendable, ensuring a pleasant and hygienic workout environment. Overall, I cannot recommend The Box enough. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, this place has something for everyone. The combination of challenging workouts, expert guidance, and a supportive community make it the perfect place to achieve your fitness goals. So, lace up your gloves, grab your weights, and get ready to sweat and smile at this incredible place.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend TheBox enough! I've been taking Leah, Lucy and Nicola's classes for a few months now, and more recently Lewis's - all excellent trainers, super welcoming and encouraging. Love the strength, rounds and pilates classes. After trying different gyms & trainers here and there over the years, finally found one I really enjoy and look forward to. Not an ego in sight!

Frances Holder 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in a long time. The team are super warm and friendly, making an effort to know your name, what injuries you might have and what level you’re at. The classes felt challenging at the beginning but I was able to take it at my own pace and I’ve already noticed an improvement in my fitness (aka: not running out of breath and wanting to die every time I have to run to something I’m late for / looking like I have a lil more of a 2-pack than a keg) which is exactly what I wanted. The gym space itself is really cool & gives off low-key Rocky vibes, makes you feel like a badass. I also love the booking system that makes me commit to sessions so I don’t change my mind last minute and sit at home with a tub of ice cream instead. Thank you & keep up the great work! X

Chris S 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started going to The Box a few weeks ago. I have no previous boxing experience and just wanted an physical outlet....but I was nervous about what kind of vibe I'd be entering into! This is not a testosterone-fuelled fighting pit....it's a very friendly and welcoming place that seems to cater for all abilities. Every person in the class is encouraged at their level. After a days work and entering the gym, I can be in any one of many varied moods, but I always leave here hot, sweaty, fresh and POSITIVE. Thanks for boost....it's brilliant.

Aaron Pashley 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Today me and my 6 year old daughter Ava attended Lewis Wood's class. Lewis was friendly, patient and clear in his instruction keeping it fun, engaging and technical and couldn't of asked for a better introduction into this class. After being slightly apprehensive she settled in great and has expressed interest in coming again. Thank you Lewis and look forward to the next session.

Jenny Ackroyd 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. Such a great concept and space to train. There is a real mix of classes (boxing inspired but certainly not just for boxers!).The trainers are something else: knowledgeable,dynamic, enthusiastic and encouraging! Whatever your max, you'll be pushed to it whilst ensuring correct form. There is a real sense of community, I've never gone to classes where everyone is so friendly, welcoming and supportive to each other and no matter how you're feeling before class starts, you always leave feeling a little bit euphoric, smiling and sweating! Thanks guys.

Izzy Curry 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: So happy The Box opened in Brighton! The classes are always challenging but never boring and there are so many options throughout the day it suits people in all sorts of jobs. Its very good value for money and all the trainers are so friendly you intensely feel part of the family :)

Julia Pye 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Box has an amazing atmosphere and great trainers. There are no egos which is a nice change from feeling sometimes intimidated in gyms or other classes. Even though the classes do revolve around the theme of boxing anyone can join from any level. Not every class is box focused such as the box and burn one where you work on the bags or with a partner. If you are like me and workout at the same time everyday this place is great because you won't do the same class two days in a row of have the same trainer. Within the 45 mins class you also get a proper warm up and cool down which for me avoids any injuries.

Maria Cicone 7 years ago

Negative experience: Small studio thats come a little too late with all the amazing competion now in Brighton at less than half the price these guys are offering. Mixed changing rooms, no air con, no towel service, no drinks/snack bar and just 1 small studio (with barely any equipment) less ‘boutique’ as they promote and more ‘trying too hard to be cool vibe’. The Trainers are not boxing coaches (after one admitted he’s never even seen a boxing ring!) yet if you’re calling yourself a boxing fitness gym then at least some experience would be expected! Don’t be fooled by the fancy class names either, it’s basically the same old Boxercise classes that have been around for years and yoga classes too (what next, spinning classes!?). The offer of a free class for a good review may have tempted others here but an honest opinion is best. On the plus side it is next to my house but then so are many other far better professional Brighton studios.

Shiama 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such a great launch. I attended a Rounds class and it was brilliant! A Tabata style work out that really made me sweat. I felt great afterwards (as well as knackered!). The instructor was really good at motivating (you can tell this is a passion) and the set up of the gym was perfect with great equipment and of course the Boxing bags. Really good central location as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone no matter your fitness goals there is something for everyone.

Pras Sasi 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with great facilities and brilliant range of workouts, from boxing, to HIIT to yoga. Awesome crew, very experienced, knowledgeable and just so friendly! The studio is the perfect size, the numbers are set so there is always enough space to work out comfortably. It’s a very bright open space with great lighting while being discreet at the same time so you don’t feel like you’re working out in a fish bowl. There’s a great selection of Innermost vegan superfood protein powders. There really isn’t anything else out there in Brighton like this – where you can mix up your workouts so there is something different to try each day. The changing rooms, showers and equipment are fantastic, those punch bags are really something! The trainers are what really make this place, they are extremely knowledgeable, positive and focused at all times. They pay so much attention to technique and form that it almost feels like PT session at times. You can’t help but leave with a huge smile on your face while completely drenched in sweat!

Tony Griggs 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: A well thought out gym with a very high standard of fit and finish. The key point is the excellent team of trainers that they have managed to recruit. It means that whichever class you book you will be guaranteed an excellent workout in a friendly, but highly motivated, atmosphere.
