CrossFit® Connect: Opinions
Fantastic experience: fantastic CrossFit gym, I can honestly say this gym has got me hooked for life !! the coaches are always so attentive and knowledgeable and the whole gym is welcoming, spacious with well set up. Alot of effort clearly goes into the programming and every day is different with multiple classes every day. If you haven't tried CrossFit before this is the gym for you. If you are a CrossFit pro this is the gym for you !!!!
Thank you George
Negative experience: A little bit disappointed. Payed 15 pounds for a class that started late, I felt like the coaches were not really interested in giving the class and even they knew I was new I had to constantly ask them what to do and where the equipment was. Didn’t find the male coach very friendly and I felt quite uncomfortable. The class was finished fast and barely did anything, to me it was a waste of money and time. Not coming back
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience, that our class did not meet your expectations, and that our coaching team wasn’t as attentive as they should have been. We strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment for all our members, particularly those who are new. Clearly, in this instance, we missed the mark, and for that, we sincerely apologise. We value your input and will be addressing this with our team. We’d love the opportunity to make it right, so if you’re open to it, please contact us directly at [email protected] so we can offer you a complimentary class. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance.
Fantastic experience: Connect was my first Crossfit gym and I can't imagine a better place to start. The team makes you feel welcome from day one - there's a real sense of belonging. The coaches are all very skilled and give individual feedback and encouragement while keeping the vibe of the classes fun. I'm grateful to this brilliant community for making my time in Brighton that much more enjoyable and I'll miss it now that I've moved to Aus!
Hey Suraj! I’m so glad you enjoyed your time with us! And we hope you find a great box out in Aus. Best of luck with your new journey ❤️
Fantastic experience: Joined CrossFit Connect thinking I'd just get a workout... turns out I also got a new set of lungs, a questionable relationship with burpees, and an unexpected love for post-WOD naps. The owners and coaches are absolute legends—always pushing you to be your best while somehow making the pain fun. If you're into lifting heavy things, sweating like it's a sport, and pretending to enjoy wall balls, this place is for you!
Haha! You’re the legend Serg! Thank you for this great review ❤️
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff- great atmosphere and great people who attend this gym/ will definitely recommend
Ahh thank you for leaving such a lovely review!!!
Negative experience: Honestly don’t go here, the owner that gives out parking tickets, I park there for the first time and he told me he wouldn’t give me a ticket aslong as I paid longer than I was going to stay and he still took a picture of my car and gave a ticket. Don’t trust the staff you’ll end up with a fine and they’ll tell you to appeal it and you do and it gets declined. Absolute scammers.
Hello Loren, I’m sorry to hear you received a parking ticket, but I need to make it absolutely clear that the carpark has nothing to do with Connect. We do not hand out tickets, we have no control over the issuing of tickets and we certainly would not scam you. I can only assume you were dealing with the parking attendant, and not any of my staff. Google reviews are for people to leave a review based on the actual business, not the carpark that happens to be located outside. You will need to complain to the company that owns the carpark which is GXS Ltd. I need to confirm once again THE CARPARK DOES NOT BELONG TO OR IS CONTROLLED BY CROSSFIT CONNECT.
Fantastic experience: A great Cross fit gym with top tier instructors

Fantastic experience: Thank you for having me! Love the box!
Hey Paul! Sorry your review must have slipped the net! Thank you for popping by to visit. Glad you liked it. Hopefully we’ll see you soon!
Negative experience: Got a £60 parking fine for parking legitimately in a "public" - not customer - car park where the official sign said free parking between 6am and 6pm, I'd parked within these hours. I even tried to pay online and got told it was free! But someone from this store took pictures of my car and two days later GSX or whatever they're called sent me a parking charge. Absolutely disgusted. I won't be visiting Portslade/Shoreham again. 28/8/21 16:45: Please read above; I know what I read. Do you think I'd park there if I'd get a charge? I wanted to pay by telephone/online but it told me there was no charge and I checked the hours and was pleasantly surprised. Something is fishy. And I'm not talking about the nearby beach.
Hi Stephen, thank you for leaving a review. The carpark outside our gym unfortunately is not free. The signs around the carpark clearly state this, and no one from our business would advise otherwise as we also have to adhere to the rules. The pictures would have been taken by the carpark company, not us, as we have no interest in whoever parks their car there!! But our small business really appreciates the one star rating you’ve left because you didn’t like the car park, that is independently owned and no way associated with Connect. Hope you have a great day!
Fantastic experience: Good atmosphere. Friendly coaches. Equipment is worn out but still Ok.
Fantastic experience: The coaches make the place welcoming and fun, they know their stuff.
Fantastic experience: Safe to say a really well set up and organised fitness centre. Covid secure and most importantly a great environment. Donna the owner greeted me at the start, checked in during and after the workout class I was booked on. Hopimg to book in some more classes in the near future
Fantastic experience: Great coaching with plenty of space and COVID safe.
Thank you for the review. We are so happy you are enjoying the space.
Fantastic experience: Popped in on a guest pass when in Brighton for the weekend - coaches were really welcoming, an amazing box and a great wod!! Thanks guys
Positive experience: Over prices gym... many better gym in hove
We’re sorry to hear you think so. We provide small group training, 1 coach to every 8 people so our mark up is higher but not the highest for our type of facility in and around Brighton & Hove.
Fantastic experience: I have been going here for over 3 years which is the longest time I have ever been with a gym. The Crossfit approach means I never get bored or feel that I am just going through the motions. What really makes this place special are the trainers. They are approachable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Excellent advice is available on aspects of fitness and health - flexibility, aerobic capacity, technique and nutrition. I am the fittest I have been since my 20s (I am in my late 40s) and I am inspired to keep improving.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic box right next to the water! I came for a drop in last month and absolutely loved it. Great coaches and a well equiped box. I will be back :)
Fantastic experience: Big and huge box! Airy and not hot! Great location right by the beach. Ample space and not so crowded. Fun wod and clear instructions from the coach! Will definitely make it a point to visit again!
Fantastic experience: Amazing thank you.
Fantastic experience: Dropped in on 03/08/19 after a friend organised the visit. Really friendly bunch of people and coaches. Great Saturday teamwork WOD which was exactly what was needed! When I’m down that direction again then I’ll be sure to pop in again. Thanks for having me!
Fantastic experience: Lovely box and great location. Staff really friendly - friend and I were drop ins over the Pride weekend and everyone made us feel really welcome. Workout was brutal - just what you need to set you up for the weekend!

Fantastic experience: On a weekend visiting friends and had a drop in session. Good vibes, with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Would like to train here again as looks likes lots of cool stuff to use.
Fantastic experience: What a fantastic box ! We were on holiday in Brighton and dropped in for a cheeky WOD. We were made to feel welcome and the coaches were lovely and friendly. Great workout which deffo got me sweaty and energised for the day. Thank you so much for having us. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to do some crossfit tourism.
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed my WOD at CrossFit Connect! Great facilities and the members were super friendly. I'm currently recovering from a serious injury and both Val and Axel asked me several questions about the injury and kept a close eye on my form during the WOD. I felt safe to train and confident that they could help me with any issues. Will definitely be back!
Positive experience: Very friendly staff who will welcome you into their box. The box itself is at a harbour site and ‘raw’. Great environment to train and the workout was build up well with two parts, warming up and stretching. You’ll dive hard directly and the only thing need to be aware of is that their changing room is open. This wasn’t an issue for me and there is some private space if you need to have it. Will definitely join another class here if I am around in Brighton.
Fantastic experience: Great gym!! Dropped in from California. I just emailed Sarah to ask about class times and fees, she responded right away and provided me with all the information. Coaches were great and everyone was so welcoming and nice!
Positive experience: In a remote location

Fantastic experience: Dropped in whilst visiting the Brighton, the box is well equipped, spacious and the 3 coaches I met are 10/10.

Fantastic experience: Lift heavy be strong! I've been a member for over 10 years and for me it has stood the test of time and I am still enjoying it. I find my goals in life change and CrossFit has complimented that change. When I want to achieve something else CrossFit has helped. Cause all the workouts can be scaled and cause there are different classes I can do what works best for me. Donna and the team work hard for the members.
You are our national treasure Ben! Thanks for being such an awesome part of our community ❤️
