This lagoon watersports offers lots of watersports most of the year round. In the summer there is…read morean event that is sponsored by K'nex which enables all kids the chance to do wind surfing for free so look out for it! I did this programme and loved it and would recommend it. There is tonnes of events going on so there will be something to do. The cafe also supplies good grub which is important for a day spent on the water before and after. Even if the weather isn't great do not let it put you off as often you get more speed when windsurfing in bad conditions. Plus once you have finished you can have a nice hot bath which always feels a million times better when you've been out in the windy weather of the Brighton seafront. It isn't the cheapest day but in terms of the facilties, coaching and equipment you get at your disposal it is relatively.

Pete L. has it down. Training wheels for water sports. I came out here on a LivingSocial Adventures…read moreand had a blast! You can rent a kayak and go out on the ocean, or do a variety of sports in the lagoon (windsurfing, wake boarding on zipline, stand up paddleboard, sailing, kayaking, etc.) Reasonable pricing scheme, really friendly (and attractive) staff. My ONE warning, don't expect a crystal blue lagoon. It is a sorta funky brown pond of seawater. But hey, it is a good, safe place to learn with much more predictable conditions than the big bad ocean, so you do what you gotta do. I'd definitely come back on my own and play some more!

The Falmer Sports complex is the premier Sports centre on campus being home to a decent gym with…read morefree weights, weight machines, running machines and cross trainers etc... The sports complex sits right at the top of the hill, just of the Refectory road, which leads out of the University. On top of its impressive gym, inside, outside too it has a large Hockey pitch which doubles up as two sizeable 6 aside football pitches as well as tennis courts and 6 well maintained full size grass football pitches. Brighton and Hove Albion first team train on the pitches and use the gym, which of course is a testament to its quality. Price wise, gym membership is incredibly good value for money if you are going a few times a week at £130 for the year (for students) and a less good, but still not bad £360 for the general public. Due to the large price drop for students, I would highly recommend this gym for people still studying.

This complex does offer a good range of facilties most of which Jack talks about. Just to add that…read moreBrighton and Hove Albion train here and on numerous occasions I have seen the players training and having lunch. On a Wednesday afternoon the Sussex University sports team play here so there is always some good sport action to watch. The mens football team have won all their games this season barring one draw so you will see goals if football is your preference. The gym membership for a year of £130 is so much cheaper than anywhere else in Brighton you would be mad not to use these facilties if your nearby.

An ideal place to spend a Sunday chilling out at the Barefoot Cafe with a vino, watching a tournament while the kids muck about in the sand. The only venue of its kind in the UK Yellowave Brighton has played host to many beach sports events such as the British Women' Volley Ball championship. The venue is also used for live music events ad parties so definitely worth checking out of you have visitors down.

I went to Yellowave for the first time this weekend to play a Volleyball Beach tournie with…read morefriends. I was really impressed with the venue. Being a volleyball player myself and an addict I must say, this is a great place to train and play beach. The sand is perfect, there are around 6 courts available, and the staff clearly know their stuff! There' also a lovely cafe/bar to chill out and have snacks, a climbing wall for fitness and an area for children to play with the sand outside of the courts. The venue is also available for some other sports like beach soccer, beach rugby, frisbee, etc... And for volleyball addicts like me you can hire a court to train for as little as £18/hour. So get your training gear on and try it out this summer!

I'd never entertained the idea of watching live cricket before the 2005 Ashes but since then I've…read moretried to go at least once a year. Some might think that watching a day's cricket is a boring idea but if you're with the right people I assure you it can be a real laugh. Get drunk, shout a few insults and occasionally jump around in adulation. What more could you want? Sussex County Cricket Club is the home of the notorious Sussex Sharks and plays host to numerous games during the cricket season. Tickets are usually £5 for juniors, £10 for students and £15 for adults but prices vary depending on the competition. As the Sussex Sharks are the current holders of the Twenty20 cup, it's the perfect place to watch some entertaining, high-quality cricket. Whether or not you're new to the game, I'd recommend at least one visit.

I watched a couple of 20 20 cricket matches here and both times I had a cracking time. However, I…read morewent understanding what was going on so it is important just to do your homework first. In recent years cricket has been trying to attract more people so they have been setting rules which keeps the game from being too slow but the odd game can still be boring much like any other sport. Tickets for most games are much cheaper than most football tickets plus with a team that won 2 trophies last year and were runners up in 1 the time is right to jump on board the band wagon. I agree with Mike if you get the right people and have a few bevvies, you will no doubt have a good time here and a different type of experience.

Master Ken James has been teaching children and adults Tae Kwon Do in Brighton and the surrounding…read morearea for a long time. He runs his clubs with the aid of his wife Sue and offers a great atmosphere to learn the Korean art of Tae Kwon Do. I trained for about 6 years with Master James and thoroughly enjoyed every lesson. Sadly, financial limitations meant that I had to stop training about 1 year ago. If I returned to learning martial arts I would certainly return to this club. The lessons are a mix of technique with an emphasis on fitness. As TKD is not a full contact sport, it may be better suited to those not quite so keen on getting stuck in, but still with a strong martial arts base. The club is part of the TAGB organisation and this means that there are regular national competitions, should you wish to test your skills in sparring or pattern events. Gradings take place quarterly, although once you reach the senior grades you will have to wait 6 months between examination. To train you must be fully insured (at a reasonable rate) and to spar you are expected to wear full protective gear. This means that children can train without unexpected injury and adults don't have to turn up for work with black eyes or other inconvenient injures. The Brighton club has a lot of very skilled black belts and the overall atmosphere is very welcoming and encouraging for beginners. Ken is a really great guy and i could think of no one better to suggest to teach you martial arts than this master.

With a 1st team in County Division 1, a reserve team in reserve county 1, an under 18s, an under 17s and a team for girls there is a chance to play football for any young talented players. Because of this large amount of people involved this club feels like its own community. They do a lot of socialising which includes tours every year and christmas fancy dress. A strong tie has been formed between this club and the local pub the Mile Oak as they support each other with services and finance. A new stand is being built to adhere to F.A. regulations as teams in their division have to have atleast 100 seats so I am told. So, although this is a fun team to be involved with, there is also a lot of serious football being played. Mile Oak are in a league where nearly every other team pays its players which means that the players they have are not in it for the money and morale is generated from this fact. Go down to watch, help or play all of which would be time well spent

My parents have been members of La Fitness (previously 'Dragons') for around 10 years and have only…read morerecently moved to FitForAll gym nearby; as La Fitness, since under new management, has gone downhill. However, I wished to join La Fitness (for weight training and cardio) as it has good facilities such as Squash Courts, Tennis Courts, Pool, ect. Having been a member since September I have seen positives from the gym; such as the facilities, the amount of classes availible and some young friendly staff (20%). On the other hand, I have experienced many negagivtes such as rude, "lairy" staff, new rules being created for friend free passes they issued, and worsed of all the amount of breakages taking overly long to be fixed: - Sauna ... 6 weeks - Single Cable Machine ... 3 weeks -Glass back Squash court ... 7 weeks - Chest Press ... 2 weeks - Dangerous Untightened dumbells .... Continuous - Upstairs Air.Con ... 2 weeks x 2 -Upstairs water fountain (water is warm) ... 2 weeks - Upstairs Cable Cross - 1 week and counting - Freeweight Leg Press - 5 weeks and counting - 80% of staff rude - continuous Untightened Dumbells - This lets me now give you the example of one of my friends who also attends La Fitness - He was using the 40kg dumbells assured that as La Fitness are a safety checked gym he would be safe, however one of them snapped in half narrowly missing the person spotting him and then fractured his wrist... How can anyone feel safe in this environment. I appreciate that times are hard and a lot of buisnesses are struggalling in the present financial climate, however I think it is ridiculous that a gym of not a very high standard can charge between 30 - 60 pounds a month when the opening hours are poor(having been reduced recently). As they have made such a substancial reduction in the opening hours, I would like to pressume they would fairly reduce all members monthly pay accordingly. I do not understand how they can need to reduce opening hours; if it is because of money then the managers must clearly be doing something wrong as there are gyms such as 'The Gym' in Brighton open 24/7 and only charge 15.99 a month. To conclude, the reason I have spent my time writing this review is because I would be in the gym right now but La Fitness being 'tight' have cut their opening and closing times as it is not money efficient for them (i just travelled all the way to the gym to have to read a note on the desk saying GYM CLOSED); this consequents in lots of angry , unsatisfied customers like me. Therefore I look forward to training at a good, friendly gym such as others in my local area (Cheetas, FitForAll, The Gym, ect). Do not miss understand this review as 100% negativity; La Fitness gym has a huge amount of potential and met the requirements needed when it was Dragons but has been ruined by frankly rubbish managment over the past 4-5 years.
