Our original and most established gym, Ascend Performance Brighton Waterhall is based at Brighton Rugby Club and offers a focused Strength & Conditioning environment ideal for injury rehabilitation, advanced coaching, and long-term strength development.
We are proud to have a team of highly qualified and skilled S&C Coaches who deeply care about helping our members succeed. Our coaches look after you every step of the way, a truly personalised approach in a small group training environment at our Brighton Waterhall gym.
We don’t believe a one size fits all approach is best for anyone, which is why we meet you where you’re at, design you a completely personalised S&C programme at our Brighton Waterhall gym and ensure you keep progressing towards your goals.
We’re often asked “what makes Ascend so special?” and the answer is simple: The people. Our members support each other in and outside of the gym, they bring the fun and laughter to each session, making Ascend such an enjoyable place to train in Brighton & Hove.
Ascend Performance Brighton Waterhall combines personalised programming, expert S&C coaching, and focused small-group training to help you get stronger, fitter, and move with confidence.
We support members training with us from across Brighton, Hove and surrounding Sussex areas, delivering long-term results that transfer to everyday life and sport.

"The BEST gym I’ve been with, have been training with Ascend for about two to three months and my physical health, fitness and mental wellbeing has improved immeasurably. They really do give a BIG shit about their purpose and mission, and they want to share that with everyone involved. The gym is inclusive and you really do get a strong sense of community from being there. I would also emphasise that you do not need to be a high performing athlete to join! I had been out of action for quite some time, and previously quite ill, before joining Ascend...
100% would recommend the guys here at Ascend Performance. Whatever your fitness goals, or if you are looking to come back from injury, they will be behind you all the way with first class coaching to get you where you want to be.
I can't recommend these guys highly enough. To have coaches with such amazing expertise on our doorstep in Brighton is a blessing.
I lost 12kg in my first 4 months!
Truly the best gym i’ve been to! Small group PT so you get the attention and customization that you need but also are in an environment with other people who can’t support and encourage you! Also where you’ll find best and ONLY fully qualified S&C coaches in Brighton and Hove!
I absolutely love being a part of Ascend, it feels like a real community. Since joining Ascend I feel fitter, more motivated and I have more energy in the mornings.
Our Strength & Conditioning and fitness classes at Ascend Performance Brighton Waterhall can be booked online via our training platform. Sessions include small group S&C, conditioning and performance-focused classes, all coached by experienced professionals at our private gym in Brighton.
