Excellent gym, but when I was looking for gym membership it came out much more expensive than others - I plumped for David Lloyd in the end.
Can't remember the prices - 'a lot' is the closest I can give you.

£70 a month isn't it?
I'm joining for £60 as I think of more than 1 joins from the same address, you get it for that

I'm a fitness first by Brighton station, £35.00 a month, big gym/weight area. Ok it doesnt have a swimming pool but it has steam rooms downstairs and that. Recommend it.

That's over double what I pay a month for my Amex ST and to think of all the moaners we have regarding that cost.
I've used Virgin on a visitors pass and was impressed but not sure I'd pay £70 a month for it !
Whatever you do, don't sign up to Impluse Leisure at Southwick - one of the worst run gyms ever and the duty managers really are a bunch of plebs who don't understand customer service at all.

I pay £70 a month and that gets me access to pretty much most of the Virgin Gyms across the country, which is handy as I work all over the place. You also get unofficial match day parking!
If you're going 3-4 times a week it's worth the money. If you intend on going less I'd suggest joining somewhere cheaper.

It is expensive, very expensive. But ultimately you have to go somewhere convenient so you actually go regularly. As it's on my way home and I can park there, I signed up a couple of months back. I visit about 3 times a week and use the gym, exercise classes, steam room, sauna and jacuzzi. I'm also looking to start using the squash courts too, as this is another member extra that's included you don't always find elsewhere.
I've basically accepted the high price as something I just have to pay for the convenience of it. It's also worth factoring in that you can park there during home games for free, although don't expect to be out in any hurry.
I was initially very disappointed with the cafe bar which just served greasy nonsense and beers which seemed to be completely at odds with it being a HEALTH club however they've recently introduced a new menu where you pick one protein (chicken, fish etc.), one vege side, one carb (potato, noodles, rice etc.) and some sauce which you can have in large or small portions. Healthy and nutritious so I'm not averse to having a nice meal after my workout these days.
It is a very nice club but it is a lot more expensive than other places so you really have to be sure it's where you want to go. Surprisingly busy for somewhere so steep too, so don't expect that high price to make it more exclusive.

Looking at gym prices down south makes me happy to be away at uni. £190 a year for one of the best free weights in the country, happy days!

Yes it's a good gym. We do quite a few of the classes, and use the pools....I tend to use the outside one more, even in the depths of winter...
Worth the money for the mrs and I as we tend to go 5 times a week
