Train like the Spartans in Brighton and Hove              
If you're fed up with the usual boring gym routines and want your training to be exciting, innovative and guaranteed to push you to your limits, then perhaps it's time you tried Spartan Fitness. We run small group fitness sessions in Brighton and Hove's parks that are worlds away from anything you've ever done before and will make you realise just how fit you really are.
We specialise in old-school training techniques that you’ve probably always wanted to do but never got the chance. We promise to make your workouts as challenging and interesting as possible by using a combination of basic objects such as sandbags, ropes, tyres and beer kegs, along with specialist equipment like kettlebells, medicine balls and plyo-boxes.        
We also use some well known body weight exercises like press-ups, squat-thrusts and dips, alongside some lesser known but equally effective ones; bear-walks and one-legged pistols anyone?

Is functional exercise better than the gym?
It's Saturday morning and I've just finished flipping a huge lorry tyre across a field with my bare hands. Now I'm about to start on a bag of sand and, when I'm finished with that, I will allow a man to tie a rope round me and attempt to run off while he pulls me back.
It's high-intensity stuff, and it works. It operates a much broader definition of fitness than the gym, going beyond cardiovascular and strength fitness to take in power, balance, flexibility, agility and speed.

... and when we put Mens Fitness through their paces.
This training will pump up your strength, improve recovery time and boost stamina... By the end I've maxed out my fitness and strength but 
feel a mighty sense of acheivement.
It's a complete physical assault and my heart is thumping hard just to keep me conscious. But I never get to the point of actual collapse,
which is due both to the competitive edge of working in a group and to the motivation of operating in pairs.
Read about when Mens Fitness joined us for the day.
Richard Gurner from the Argus came down to try out a session...
My first challenge from last year, as I mentioned at the beginning, was a session with fitness club Spartan Fitness.
I put my Superman costume on and was then tortured for an hour with an array of exercises such as tyre pulling, tug of war and lifting kettle bells.
I managed to survive the session, almost, and lived to tell the tale and in the process inadvertently lined myself up for more punishment.
