Please make note that this customer was asked to leave by BGHS management because of threats of violence and aggressive behaviour. As he left he said he was going to find as many review sites as possible and trash us on the internet. The events he refers to are not true and although we are always interested to read reviews good and bad we feel they should at least should be acurate.Please make note that this customer was asked to leave by BGHS management because of threats of violence and aggressive behaviour.

just wanted to say i found this gym extremely friendly, the friendliest and most helpfull gym i have been to.
All the staff seem to care about my fitness and looking after my membership, and the classes are brilliant with great instructors.
I don't feel intimidated at Alive at all and i can really get on with my workout with the (free) help of the instructors.
The fact that this gym has no contract is even better and the price is the cheapest around. I couldn't speak highly enough of alive, especially after experiencing other gyms in brighton.

A fairly decent bowling alley located at the marina.

Arcade machines, fast food, bar, pool tables and 24 bowling lanes.

The bowls seemed good quality but the scoring software was a bit naff - have seen much better.

The worse apect was the service - the shoe exchange and bar were poorly manned leading to big, unnecessary waits. Also the loos could have done with more attention.

Still a decent bit of fun in a group.A fairly decent bowling alley located at the marina.

Sadly this 'retro' Bingo hall has closed down now.

As of July 2008 it is still unused, word has it that it will eventually open as a 'concert hall' as it was originally made for.

This will be updated as-and-when.Sadly this 'retro' Bingo hall has closed down now.

I would not go anywhere near this gym. Having been a member there for nearly a year I am nothing more than disgusted with the way the facility is ran. My main sport is swimming and is something that I take very seriously with starting to complete in triathalons this year. The management of the pool is abismal. For nearly two months the speed clock was out of action. The pool has sand or dirt of some form at the bottom of the pool constantly. On many occasions and this is due to the poor management of the swimming lanes, I have had my training sessions interupted with people being forced into the fast lane due to the closure of the slow lane in order to accommodate other activities. This in principle I have no problem with. However it contstantly got to the point that we were effectively told that I should swim at another time or better yet 'slow down and not tumble turn'. This is totally unacceptable. Having trained hard for many months and getting my times up I am now told by a health club that purports to support all sports and takes them seriously, that I should curtail how I train. In the end a letter was draughted to the management team stating that we would no longer be continuing our membership due to the contractual failure on the part of David Lloyd to provide a safe and nurturing environment in which to train but also their proposed reduction and use of the pool facility. We alos advised that due to this breach of contract on thier part we would not be making the payments for the so called 3 month cancellation period. Now and in classic David Lloyd style we are being chased by debt collectors and non of the management will accept either responsibility in their part in all of this nor will they accept our calls or be prepared to discuss the issues with us. They didn't even have the common maners to advise us that they would be contacting a collections agency.
Thus to finish. If you are looking for a club that takes sports seriously and are genuinly interested in sports and the development of it's members DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS CLUB.
