Wellness resolutions made easy

Whether wellness is already a big part of your routine or you’ve made a resolution to practice more self care, you're spoilt for choice living in Chichester, Bognor Regis and the surrounding areas.

White & Brooks is no stranger to a Pilates class or a cold water dip, especially being on the doorstep of the coast. Here are some amazing local wellness options for you to try in 2026.

Pilates

Studio 44 Reformer Pilates in Chichester is the place to go if you want to lengthen and strengthen in a friendly setting. The team is currently running a free trial offer for new clients, with an additional 25% off any credit pack or your first month of membership. Follow on Instagram @studio44reformerpilates.

Beach sauna: Bognor Regis

Weekends in Bognor Regis hit a little different now that Luna Hut is in town. You can book sessions at its sauna on The Promenade every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 9am until 1pm, enjoying the wellbeing benefits of Finnish-style hot heat with sea views. A cold water plunge in the sea before or after is invigorating but optional!  Follow on Instagram @lunahutsauna.

Beach sauna: near Chichester

Closer to Chichester or want to feel the heat when Luna Hut is close? Rewild Sauna at Bracklesham Bay offers the same restorative experience on slightly different days. Head down with your towel Thursday to Monday, with opening hours between sunrise and sunset. Follow on Instagram @rewild.sauna.

Hyrox: Southbourne

Hive Gym is bringing the Hyrox experience to Southbourne near Chichester – a competition-based form of exercise designed to challenge. The gym has the specialist equipment required and runs a Hyrox training class six days a week. There are alternative classes available, as well as just gym access. Contact Hive to book yourself a free taster session. Follow on Instagram @hive.fit.

Hyrox: Bognor Regis

Check out the timetable at The Training Ground in Bognor Regis for a number of Hyrox options, including beginner and young adult classes, ‘pro attack’ sessions for serious competitors and simulation classes for those wanting to compete. The popular facility also runs circuit sessions – sometimes with a live DJ – and hybrid training. Follow on Instagram @trainingground101.

Cold water swimming

Wim Hof was really on to something and thousands of people now enjoy regular cold water plunges or sea swims. It’s a refreshing activity best done as part of a group for safety (and more fun), and there are several to join in West Sussex. Hook up with the Pagham Brass Monkeys, The Bognor Bluetits (@bluetits) or the Sandy Toe Sea Swimmers, the latter based at Felpham in Bognor Regis.

Padel

It’s the racquet sport taking the country by a storm and you can play padel in Chidham on Chichester’s outskirts. This hybrid squash-tennis game is easy-to-learn and the court at The Shed is indoors, so even the most inclement weather can’t spoil the fun. There’s also a café serving post-match refreshments. Follow on Instagram @theshedchidham.

Gym

If you’re here for functional fitness, you’ll love X Gym, located inside Metro House in Chichester’s Northcote quarter. There are structured training cycles, open access and team workouts – sign up for a free taster session and take your first step towards a stronger 2026. Follow on Instagram @xgymchichester

Run

Its Run By Her is an all-female running collective that pounds the pavements in Bognor Regis, with longer runs taking in adjacent areas. There are regular meets and participants can tackle any distance they feel able to – from 1k up to the full 10k. A social coffee after is the carrot being dangled. Follow on Instagram @itsrunbyher

Trail events

Dash Collective lives up to its hype, with its ticketed trail events often fully booked well in advance. The routes take in some of West Sussex’s most stunning scenery (including sandy beaches and the South Downs), and there’s a happy marriage between exercise, food and drink for maximum social interactions. Follow on @dashcollective.cc.

Spa

The Harbour Hotel is the perfect setting for a hidden spa, warm cosy and away from the hustle. Book a massage in one of the luxurious treatment rooms, unwind in the steam room or soak away aches and pains in the hydrotherapy pool. Book in for breakfast, lunch or dinner for that all-inclusive feeling. Follow on Instagram @harbour_hotels.

Sound baths

Switch off and enter a deep meditative state by booking onto one of Serenity Through Sound’s sound baths. There are monthly sessions across Chichester and Bognor Regis, during which the gentle vibrations of crystal bowls, Himalayan bowls and other therapeutic instruments will soothe the soul. Follow on Instagram @serenitythroughsound.
