The Bar Gym: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Harry Simi gave me a great introduction into calisthenics. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking to get fit in the new year. Harry also runs kickboxing lessons so its a great way to combine fitness with fighting.
Fantastic experience: When it comes to the kickboxing classes, they do a great job. Harry, the lead instructor - along with the rest of the team, are all very kind and respectful and are welcoming to all skill levels and experiences. I can also say that having known Harry for over a year now, the man is consistent along with the quality of his classes. I am happy with my progress with my time with these guys. I recommend this.

Sensei Harry makes it very easy showing you basic fundamentals and ways to progress into more advanced techniques which allows you to work at your own pace.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly, helpful staff. Great monthly price.
Fantastic experience: Just went to my first kickboxing class with Harry and it was great. Obviously for first time i wasn’t great but i gave it a go and even when i did something incorrect Harry demonstrated the correct way and gave tips on how to improve in the future. Overall service from staff was excellent and i will certainly be going again.
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with friendly staff and welcoming environment. Recently started ladies kick-boxing with Ingrid who’s an amazing instructor and has a thorough understanding of this combat sport, couldn’t recommend the class enough for anyone who’s interested in starting
Fantastic experience: Amazing class, Sensei Harry is an exceptional instructor with a superior understanding of kickboxing showing us all the importance of perfect practice. Great instructional skills while explaining core concepts and the importance of posture and technique, exactly what every student should look for in an instructor! It gives every student a firmer understanding of Kickboxing. The training is a full-body workout, cardio and muscular intensive. With regular kickboxing training, better fitness is not a matter of if, just a matter of when. Really great class, I personally recommend this to all martial artist enthusiasts.

No one judges, once you go through the door your all of the same troop. Took my son to Harry's kick boxing session for the first time today. He's still talking about it now and full of beans to go again. Harry, great session, thanks for giving him time to find his feet and make him feel welcomed. Top staff, top gym.

Fantastic experience: One of the best things I've done is joining the Kicboxing school. Harry's lessons are incredibly thorough and you always come away feeling like you've progressed. Considering the lessons are only an hour, you cover so many techniques and combinations. Brad's lessons are equally as enjoyable and the cardio work out certainly gets the blood pumping! I would highly recommend coming down.

Fantastic experience: The Bar Gym is absolutely great personally my opinion, great company, great people, the personal Trainers there are very helpful and kind, great to have a talk and laugh with, their motivation to you is amazing, always a helping hand when you ask, feels like a family instead of just another Gym that you go to, always love going to the Bar Gym when I'm feeling low and needing a cheer up, staff are absolutely friendly and willing to help you out on your work out. If you want to do a personal training session with someone, the trainers there are so nice and great help, Harry Simi for kickboxing and Ryan Brewer boxing and more, would very much recommend to anyone who wants to go to a Gym.
Fantastic experience: I went in for my first ever kickboxing session today, I was nervous but I was made to feel welcome by Harry as soon as I got in the room, who then proceeded to let me know what I was doing while he was instructing the rest of the class aswell.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in Worthing!! Amazing equipment. Great people. A real community. I love the bar. Cheers guys Niels
Fantastic experience: I love my gym friendly and clean Classes are amazing. I deffenetly recommended
Fantastic experience: Unlike many gyms and dojos that are unfortunately predominantly centered around self-serving ego, jealous competition, survival of the physically fit and the theatrical showmanship of just being seen wearing the next colourful belt, The Bar Gym is a notch much higher on the martial arts trophy shelf than the rest because of it's core foundations: defensive efficiency, offensive accuracy, undiscovered inner capability, and above all else - knowing that not only do the ones around you have your back and will always be there to share techniques, support you, encourage you and pick you back up, but also that they rely on you as a vital part of the overall fighting unit and need you just as much. These teachings and focused forms of humble selfless etiquette are made flesh and brought vibrantly to life by the dedicated and determined instructor, Harry Simi. Make no mistake - this is not just an establishment, it is a family. A truly lost gem in today's age.
Fantastic experience: I've been at the bar for little over a month, using both the gym and the Fight School, I've taken part in the Kickboxing lessons during the week led by Nick Brewer - these were great, and the recently started Kickboxing Classes on Saturday Morning led by Harry Simi - who is an excellent coach who is very methodical with his approach. He also does 121 lessons with me. Downstairs, the bar has a variety of equipment like a dumbbell rack, deadlifting platforms, a power rack, a benching area, cable machines and a leg press machine. My experience had been AMMMAAAAAAZIING here! I can't recommend this place enough.
Fantastic experience: I first joined this gym around 15 years ago when I was leaving school, and I count myself lucky that I joined a place so well suited for serious training. The environment and atmosphere is fantastic, and its great to see faces who have been around for years still training there, as well as the next generation coming in and putting in the work. Great staff, great people, great atmosphere (cant beat the sound of a room full of clanging iron).
Fantastic experience: İt was great time. I had very good practice Kickboxing . Everyone was very friendly , helpful and professional. Want to go more often
Fantastic experience: Nice gym, great staff and friendly people. Had the pleasure of having a session with Harry and had the best work out I have ever had. Can’t wait to go again.

Fantastic experience: I had a very good 1 to 1 class with Harry. As a complete novice kick-boxer he made it very enjoyable and easy for me to understand. He’s very patient and such a great instructor to have!
Fantastic experience: My 6 years old boy loves his kickboxing classes. Harry is really good with kids, Jacob is really engaged which is unusual! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: The kickboxing classes are excellent and a great bunch of people to train with and great instructors I've had alot of help from Harry Simi in improving my techniques
Fantastic experience: Lovely facility. The people are respectful and attentive. They have everything you need. My trainer Harry Simi put together a bespoke work-out for me owing to specific requirements. I really appreciated how calm and direct he was. He guided me through the whole routine and helped me understand it so I can carry it out independently. I'm happy I came across this place.
Fantastic experience: Came back after training at a different gym for 2 years. Love Nick and he taught me everything, also Mike at the time. Doing regular 1::1 sessions with Harry Simi. He is a very good instructor and teaches techniques on a high level. Feel a bit deprived from my kicking abilities but thanks to Harry I am getting back there. Highly recommend this place for proper Kickbox lessons.
Fantastic experience: Great easy and friendly gym. The single day entry price is super good value and there is plenty of facilities. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have trained on and off at this place for a few years now, always felt very welcome and have enjoyed the benefits of having group and private lessons, both Nick and Harry are amazing instructors with adults and kids. Harry's 121 lessons are well thought out and he is able to adjust to the individual needs I have which for me is very important. I highly recommend this place
Fantastic experience: Harry is a great teacher homing into your individual needs with care and attention. I was made to feel at ease and so proud of my latest kicks and moves. This has only been my third session. Thank you Harry Simi.
Fantastic experience: For me there really is only one selection to get in a work-out and relax. And that's The Bar Gym. Very welcoming and informative staff. All the instructors that I've trained with have made the lessons educational and enjoyable. Especially Nick Brewer and Adam Bylinka. Eski Eskier is a high paced Taekwondo coach. Managed by Brooke Snowsill who does an outstanding job maintaining all aspects. Would recommended this community hub to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Awesome
Fantastic experience: Great place to work out. Thanks everyone
