Great gym.I used RBF in 2022 and had been waiting to get out of a gym contract in another town to sign up here again!! Gavin and Katie are amazing, so friendly and helpful, the gym has all the equipment I need and is used by such a variety of local people. It's easy to get a day pass and it's open 24 hours which is so useful. There are clean shower facilities and a vending machine, there are no lockers but this has never been an issue for me, just something to bear in mind.I can't recommend this gym enough.

I’m staying in Rye for a month and needed to find a gym and was lucky enough to come across Rye Bay Gym. I cannot recommend it more highly! Gavin could not have been more helpful, kind or encouraging! The gym has everything you could need and runs fantastic classes as well. AND Gavin has THE most gorgeous dog. Best possible find. Thanks Gavin.

A great gym. I was on holiday in Camber and didn’t want to miss the gym so bought a week pass and wasn’t disappointed. Friendly owner and members, very welcoming and great facilities. If I didn’t live five hours away I’d definitely be joining.

Staying down in Camber for the weekend, so a one-off visit. Fantastic gym, really well equipped (including hex bar, curl bar, bench press station, squat rack, etc, etc) and has a really great vibe. Regular members were super-friendly and helpful. Super comms with the owner.

- Fantastic gym with a friendly atmosphere.- It's always tidy, and its easy to find and use equipment (even during busier periods).- Checking in and out is easy and efficient via the app-Open 24/7- Parking available- Toilets and changing rooms are clean to a high standardAs someone who was just down for the week, it was a nice surprise when Gavin introduced himself and checked how I was doing with everything! Not something you often get at commercial gyms.Definitely will be visiting again when I am next in the area. 🙂
