The Vault 164

Fantastic experience: The Vault 164 has been one of the best gyms I ever joined! From the moment you step in Sam and Kerry create an amazing sense of community and you are made to feel so welcome. The workouts are challenging and extremely effective. I saw amazing results with training after just a few weeks. All the trainers, Mike, Martha, Sam and Kerry are extremely competent and make the gym the positive, inclusive space that it is. I would recommend anyone to join!

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried many gyms across Brighton and London over the years and none of them come close to the Vault on any level - the quality of coaching, the space, the size of the classes but especially the community are second to none. It’s incredibly welcoming, accessible and supportive with members from all walks of life. In the last six months I’ve seen gains in everything from lean mass and strength to mobility, running efficiency and just general energy and motivation. Memberships options are affordable and flexible depending on schedule too. Cannot recommend this team enough.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. It caters for all fitness abilities and levels with a wonderfully thought out programme. Sam and Kerry have created a wonderful environment to not just challenge yourself but to enable you to have the knowledge and confidence to go and use any gym, anywhere in the world - making fitness part of your daily life in a fun way. A wonderful spot that has, at risk of sounding dramatic, changed my life. I've made some great friends here and the team have opened my eyes to my own potential, taking on fitness challenges I never thought possible. The facilities are clean, the water ice cold and the vibes on point. No ego, no unhinged PT methods, just the good stuff. Oh and they've got Malin and Goetz in the showers, come on.

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym! It’s inclusive, supportive, fun and the team are incredibly knowledgable. Regardless of your starting point or fitness goals, Vault 164 offers second to none programming that both challenges you and helps to build confidence. The coaching is unmatched - it’s supportive and flexible ensuring that all members can progress as individuals. A real highlight is the community culture that they’ve fostered; it’s such a welcoming space where people encourage and support one another. Really amazing to be a part of! I couldn’t recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: I joined The Vault 164 back in January 2022, when I was struggling with structure for my fitness. I was immediately welcomed by all the coaches, felt at ease and thoroughly supported. The culture of encouragement and focus on progression is like no other place I've ever trained. Whether you are preparing for a hybrid competition like Hyrox or a trail half marathon in the alps, the level of experience, motivation and knowledge is second to none. Over the past 3 years I've not only built physical strength but I've grown in confidence, made friends and my mental health is the best it's ever been ❤️ I cannot recommend this facility enough, it's such a key part of my life now. Sam, Kerry and the team should be so proud of the incredible community that they have built!

Fantastic experience: An amazing place. Not just to train - but also an inclusive and supportive community. Sam and Kerry have created an environment that will meet you where you currently are - and take you to where you want to be. The sessions are challenging but accessible - with flexibility shown for all abilities as well as any injuries or limitations. And the community is the best it has ever been. No egos or cliques. Just a group of people who support each other and enjoy fitness, no matter their level. Check out the trial, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym - best I have experienced. Excellent equipment and clean facilities, carefully curated program with a big focus on functional fitness and core strength, inclusive atmosphere, and flexibility and care from all the trainers for anyone training while recovering from injury. The cohesive community of members with different fitness levels and goals is an amazing achievement and the result of a lot of genuine care and effort from Sam, Kerry, and the team.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym in every respect. I've been training at The Vault for over five years and every session continues to challenge me and help me to progress. I can categorically say I'm the fittest I've ever been and I'm hitting times with my running in particular that I'd never have thought possible before joining. The coaching is flexible, informed and hugely supportive - every single person is catered for, regardless of their fitness level or goals. But more than anything else, the atmosphere and community is unmatched. I've made a number of great friends and that's not something I'd ever have expected from a gym. Can't recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Sam , Kerry and the team have always made me feel So welcome. They have so much time and patience with me and will always go out of there way to explain things when I don’t understand. I feel part of a community here, They have pushed me and made me feel like i can always achieve goals. I’ve done a lot more with these guys then any other gym. These guys know there stuff and have made me feel so good about myself.

Negative experience: I joined The Vault 164 expecting professionalism and support. What I experienced was exclusion, inconsistency, and avoidance. I booked a HYROX session via ClassPass without any warning that the class was "only for athletes preparing for competition." I later became a full member, only to be told—publicly, by the coach—that I shouldn't be there. This contradictory messaging was never explained. Instead of resolving the issue respectfully, management escalated it to a legal tone and offered a one-month refund, despite three months of poor treatment and avoidance. Throughout my membership, I was repeatedly sidelined, given vague guidance, and ignored in key moments. Even when I raised concerns, the only response was: "Here's some money. Take it or leave." The facilities lack basics like hand dryers or consistent hygiene supplies. The class structure is chaotic and core training is often missing altogether. I had to fight to be seen, heard, and treated equally—and that’s not what anyone should experience in a space meant to support personal growth. Would not recommend if you’re looking for an inclusive, professionally managed gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at The Vault 164 for almost 3 months now and I REALLY struggled to pick my favourite trainer.. but today I made up my mind and it’s Mike.. while all trainers are friendly Mike does not show frustration whenever I come late to class due to personal reasons. The gym is well equipped and the classes are fun. The people that usually train at 8:15 are the best ( compared to the 7:15 ) .. glad I found a gym I hope I’d stick to

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym! Staff are very friendly, Sam and Kerry are experts in their field, friendly atmosphere, great equipment and the best classes I have experienced

Fantastic experience: Loved this! Visiting Brighton and booked their Saturday morning "Society" class through ClassPass - a team workout with cardio, running and weights. Friendly, challenging and fun. Coach Kerry was welcoming and explained everything clearly. Definitely coming back next time I'm in town.

Fantastic experience: Loved this gym. Came in for a morning class while travelling through Brighton and the strength class was amazing, the coach really looked after us. Highly recommend

Negative experience: The gym offers excellent facilities and competent coaches, but there's a significant issue with their policy regarding memberships and breaks. Despite following doctor's orders to refrain from training for a couple of months after a serious injury, I was still required to pay two months due to contractual obligations even when I wasn't able to step a foot in the gym. This lack of flexibility and empathy towards members facing genuine health challenges is disheartening and needs addressing.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Fantastic, friendly group session gym. Well kept and lots of space. Ideal for working up to that next level of fitness. Friendly and inclusive crowd. Supportive, professional trainers. Showers and changing facilities are top notch and towel hire is really handy.

Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend joining the Vault! Awesome coaches, great variety of sessions, top equipment and friendly community vibes

Fantastic experience: An absolute gem of a gym. Brilliant trainers who are very welcoming and supportive. They will push you but also always find time to help you nail down the technical aspects of the various lifts and movements. The vibe at all of the sessions has been fantastic.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to shake up their usual routine.
