David Lloyd

Finding yourself at one of those gleaming David Lloyd centres might feel like stepping into a fitness-focused parallel universe. This particular branch serves the Worthing area with the usual array of indoor tennis courts, swimming pools, gyms and group fitness classes that define the chain. Think upmarket leisure club rather than basic sports centre - expect glossy changing rooms and that distinctive corporate sheen.

Families get decent value here, especially if you're staying nearby for a few days. The pools tend to be well-maintained and the kids' activities properly organised, though don't expect budget prices. Day passes are available but membership deals make more sense for longer stays.

Location-wise, you're well placed for exploring Sussex's coast. Brook Lane Caravan Park sits just over a mile away, while Fox Wood Campsite offers another nearby base. The Littlehampton options are further out but give you proper seaside access.

Worthing itself provides the usual south coast mix of seafront walks and decent shopping. This David Lloyd works as a rainy day backup or if you're genuinely keen on keeping up the fitness routine while on holiday. Just don't expect it to be the highlight of your trip - it's functional rather than inspiring.
