Founders George Bradford and Emily Riggs set up the gym in 2020, providing personalised training and fitness classes with a programme to suit gymgoers of all levels.

The pair gave a statement after winning the award. It read: "Winning the Your Favourite Gym Award 2023 means the world to us.

"We’re very aware that gyms can be intimidating and scary places, where people often aren’t sure what they’re doing, which is why we built our Worthing gym just over two years ago."

They recently opened a new gym in The Old Brewery in South Street, Portslade. Their Worthing gym is in Ashacre Lane.

"We’re so proud that we’ve managed to impact so many lives already around Worthing and we can’t wait to do the same with our new gym in Brighton.

"It’s still early days, but we’re already helping lots of Brighton and Hove locals with their fitness journey.

"We’d like to thank everyone who took the time to vote for us, we never take your support for granted." George and Emily said.
