Ascend Performance Brighton Waterhall - (Near East Sussex, UK)

5 /5 Danielle Lewis-Collins: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve always found it tough to fully commit to a programme, but Ascend Performance have genuinely changed that. I joined their 6-week transformation programme over summer to kick-start my own training after a ruptured Achilles tendon, poor rehab, and a massive mental block around exercise. With their support and encouragement, I completed 24 sessions in 6 weeks, and the brick wall I was facing has been well and truly knocked down. I’ve since signed up as a regular member, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the progress I’m making. Their investment in every client is second to none. The attention to detail is outstanding, and the environment is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and never intimidating. As a coach myself, I’m always analysing coaching styles, and I’ve experienced plenty of poor coaching practice in gyms over the years which has contributed to my aversion to the gym —so I can definitely be quite critical! The team at Ascend are a whole different level and I absolutely love everything about what, and how they deliver. The team are knowledgeable, professional, and truly care about the people they work with. I also now have several of my own netball athletes attending Ascend’s youth programmes, and the results they’re achieving are incredible. Could not recommend this team more. An exceptional place with exceptional people.

5 /5 Amy Lishman: I joined Ascend on a 6 week transformation package and I’m now a fully signed up member of the fab community. The welcome, support and community at Ascend is incredible. I’ve seen so many positive gains already from the strength and conditioning sessions - the wins of increased mobility, injury prevention and the bigger ones in terms of strength gained and improved movement and fitness when playing sport. The entire coaching team at Ascend are incredible - they are skilled and knowledgeable coaches. Big shout out to Marcus for the support and gentle encouragement and for creating interesting and challenging programmes that keep me seeing improvements week in week out. After some health issues over the last few years, Marcus and team are helping me get back confidence and strength. I love the personalised programmes each coach develops for you, to help you get the results and healthy life you want - without the cost of 1:1 personal training. Highly recommend!

5 /5 Claire John: Started here a few months ago on the six week transformation programme, stayed on as since joining I havent had any of the recurring niggles I used to get playing netball and Im lifting stronger every week. The Waterhall site is conveniently located with easy parking (less so on match days) and smaller group sizes, plus the outside space is great in good weather. Its also a great community, and all the coaches (especially Marcus) are full of knowledge and support.

5 /5 Mat Bellenie: An incredible bespoke gym. The team at ascend are world class with their knowledge and delivery They built me a program to suit my specific needs. The check in regular and ensure you stay on track and keep you accountable I highly recommend this gym

5 /5 tessa de-barr: I first got involved with Ascend over three years ago after being invited to their summer BBQ — my partner had been doing some injury rehab with them at the time. Before joining, I was never someone who enjoyed the gym. I was injury-prone and struggled with consistency, but joining Ascend has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The coaches across both sites are dedicated, knowledgeable, and always make you feel supported. Each member follows a bespoke programme tailored to their individual needs, which has made a huge difference for me. I’ve had my fair share of injuries and niggles, but the coaches are always quick to adapt sessions on the spot. In the past, an injury would’ve been my excuse not to show up — now, thanks to the team and the amazing community, I make it a priority. Since joining, I’ve become fitter, faster, and stronger — so much so that I’ve been able to improve my rugby performance and compete for a spot on the first team.
