Perfect for all abilities. Everyone is really friendly and supportive. Because it’s quite a small place, you get to know familiar faces! You also get some great views…
Nice little place for some breakfast
I like to train in a team environment and that is very much fostered at Barngym. Strength, functional fitness, conditioning as well as learn to lift and mobility classes are all offered.

I like to train in a team environment and that is very much fostered at Barngym. Strength, functional fitness, conditioning as well as learn to lift and mobility classes are all offered. The gym goers are a fantastic bunch, everyone keeps you going with their determination and banter. The trainers make sure you are staying safe and working at your optimum. They have a breadth of knowledge and go above and beyond, including bi-monthly WhatsApp calls to keep you on track and that gives you the opportunity to ask anything you need help with one to one. They are inventive with workouts, I've never done the same workout twice. The facilities are great, plenty of quality equipment. The gym is set in a beautiful farm environment and training is inside and outside. I couldn’t recommend the Barngym more, 5 stars in every way. Less
I’ve been working out here for coming up to 4 months and have seen huge improvements in my fitness. Having used regular gyms in the past but not enjoyed them, I was keen to try something new. I love the friendly feel of the gym; there’s no judgement, just great advice and expert coaching from a fantastic team. Best of all, going to the gym is now fun!
Such an accessible, welcoming, friendly gym. The staff run varied and excellent classes in a stunning location
I'm not a traditional gym-goer - more yoga/walking/avoiding anything with the word 'gym' in it - but after a recent health scare - I rather tentatively made a call to Guy at the Barn. I was not excited, at all (!) about the prospect of joining a 'gym'. BUT this place is different. It's friendly, inclusive, and you can see that the team genuinely care about you getting fitter.

I'm not a traditional gym-goer - more yoga/walking/avoiding anything with the word 'gym' in it - but after a recent health scare - I rather tentatively made a call to Guy at the Barn. I was not excited, at all (!) about the prospect of joining a 'gym'. BUT this place is different. It's friendly, inclusive, and you can see that the team genuinely care about you getting fitter. They run 'fitness' tests for all clients throughout the year... and keep records of the results... a great incentive to keep focused. The options are either classes, which is what I attend, or personal training. Attending classes with other regular attendees makes the experience way more appealing than a solitary gym session. Indeed most people that join seem to stay for the long term. The first session I attended, we spent time in the outside gym. And when I say outside, I mean set amidst stunning Sussex countryside. Each lesson I feel both challenged and supported. I absolutely love going there. The drive up to the Barn is worth a visit alone. What a stunning place to exercise in. Oh, and two added bonuses: you don't need to commit to monthly gym fees, you can buy classes in bulk and attend at your convenience, and they play, what I consider, great music! ✨️ Less
Great for a workout

Everyone is welcoming, and whatever your level of fitness or personal goals, you can expect every encouragement to succeed. Guy is a committed coach and challenges you in a way that helps drive results to ensure personal improvements. No fads, no BS, just sound advice and on-going commitment to personal achievement. Also, the location in 80 acres of beautiful farmland is breathtaking - especially in summer when the outside rig is also available. 👍🏻 Less
I have now been going to Barn Gym for over a year. This is a very friendly gym for all abilities in a beautiful location. Guy is an excellent coach, takes time to explain movements and adapt workouts as required. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed.
Joined in July and in 6 months I have made more progress than I ever would on my own. Guy is brilliant, as is his team of coaches. Friendly atmosphere and gorgeous location. Well equipped gym and I still look forward to going 4x a week.
I've tried many different gyms over the years, but have never had the continued motivation to carry on until I joined Barn Gym. Great coaches, great facilities, endless enthusiasm all combined with a friendly inclusive environment regardless of your ability!!
Lovely setting. Small classes, friendly people. Feel supported by Guy with no pressure but encouragement and feel confident I will achieve my goal to be much fitter again. Don’t enjoy typical gyms but this feels special and I enjoy going.
Guy has completely transformed my fitness and training. We do online and in person PT sessions weekly. He builds a natural rapport swiftly, is very professional, pushes you much harder than you think you can go (whilst being sensitive to injuries), and keeps you incredibly disciplined.

Guy has completely transformed my fitness and training. We do online and in person PT sessions weekly. He builds a natural rapport swiftly, is very professional, pushes you much harder than you think you can go (whilst being sensitive to injuries), and keeps you incredibly disciplined. The sessions are never the same and he always adjusts to what you need. I’ve also done the nutritional and online training programs which have had great results! Guy is very personable, has a wealth of knowledge about literally every question I’ve thrown his way, and makes every session fun and engaging. Could not recommend more! Oh, and the gym in the middle of the stunning English countryside is completely worth a visit! Less
Great gym with unique, enjoyable classes. Friendly atmosphere and an encouraging focus on personal fitness goals.
Both the personal training and the online program is outstanding. I am much more strong, flexible & fit due to his training - and have even lost some kg in the process. Can highly recommend.
Awesome set up for indoor/outdoor personal training and group classes. Guy and his team of trainers offer excellent tuition in a fun environment and anybody looking to get in shape should join the Barn Gym group and enjoy!
Guy Kennedy @ Barn Gym is an excellent personal trainer. Highly knowledgeable about all aspects of physical training and nutrition. Creates a very supportive, friendly and non-intimidating environment in which to work out and achieve goals. Sturdy, no-nonsense equipment (indoors and outdoors) and beautiful Sussex countryside. Highly recommend!
Small friendly classes with varied strength and cardio workouts all expertly coached in beautiful countryside - keeps you motivated and wanting to improve your fitness!
My wife and I have been going to the Barn Gym since before Xmas - 3 PT sessions a week. Wow, the difference it is making, even after a food/drink fuelled few weeks. Guy has a very direct approach and gets to understand what needs doing very quickly - each session is very different with the focus on keeping you inspired whilst pushing you further each time. We keep coming back for more!
Really enjoyable classes. Particularly enjoy Olympic weightlifting. I’ve definitely achieved more than I could do going to the gym on my own
Great place to work out and friendly environment. Also great views.
A Proper workout 👍
Great facilities and challenging classes, grab the offer for 3 free classes to try it out!
I've accomplished more thanks to Guy's January Challenge than I have in about six years of trying alone. I'd never go back to a conventional gym - the workouts are always different and there's no pressure to be anything more than what you want to be. No ego lifting, no weight-shaming, no sexism. I can't wait to see what I can achieve now that I am learning to enjoy exercising for the first time i... More

Beautiful location, well equipped gym, friendly and knowledgeable coach. Class size is limited to 6 people, so everyone gets plenty of attention from the coach. Great atmosphere and it's a lot of fun! I recommend highly!
Great gym with a very knowledgeable and friendly coach! I'd recommend Guy to anyone, whether new to fitness or those more experienced

Guy is an excellent PT. He really helped rehabilitate an old shoulder injury and his training methods are versatile and varied which always keeps the classes enjoyable.
Guy adopts a complete approach to training with his extensive knowledge which gives me added motivation. I see the benefits on a weekly basis with improved power output readings on my road bike.
Great gym in a beautiful setting! Guy really knows his stuff and the small classes are ideal if you want to get away from the busyness of commercial gyms 😁
Fantastic rural gym with a great coach who is keen to support and motivate his members.
