Love the gym and the classes just a shame they get booked up too quick and can't allow for more members to do them as there's not enough space or weights in the classes

It just works. The App is great for being able to see how busy the gym is. There is a huge variety of equipment and the staff are consistently friendly and helpful. It’s great to be back in the gym after so many years.

Had been worried loss of key staff would compromise number and quality of classes. New and existing remaining staff have added variety to old class sessions making them more challenging and interesting. Positive.

Got to go early in the morning as the evening is far to busy.
Got a empty unit next door to this one rent it and put in more equipment.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we are happy to see this is 4 stars. We always appreciate and take on board member feedback.
We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. We’re afraid it's true, our gyms simply are very popular and so can become busy especially at peak times, but this does fluctuate throughout the day and from day to day. Members can also use the members area via the PureGym app or website, to see how many people are in the gym.
Thanks, PureGym
Good gym, wish there was more equipment
Decent gym, friendly people. However after going for a little while, the equipment seems quite limited and I just wish there were a few more pieces of equipment that target the muscles differently. A machine for leg extensions would be good, a punching bag in the studio would be amazing (this is the first gym I’ve been to that doesn’t have one).

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback.
We always aim to provide a broad spread of kit to cater to a range of fitness needs and meet demand as it changes through the day, getting the balance right between weights and cardio, but if you have any other/specific suggestions please approach the Gym Manager or leave a note in the feedback box, which is regularly reviewed.
Thanks, PureGym.
Not bad but feels oversubscribed
Well equipped but seems a little over subscribed at times. Only 3 showers means there's often a wait for a shower.

A friendly, well run Gym
I have been a member for several months now. I have been weight training for many years. The gym is always very clean and the equipment is well maintained. If something breaks it's usually mended pretty quickly. I like the way members respect each other's space and keep the training areas tidy. It always feels a safe friendly space, where you are free to carry out your own routines in your own time.

Good gym and very good choice of equipment, down side is that showers are not cleaned that often and sometimes they are bit messy.

Great sweat 30 class
Great sweat 30 class, superb instructor Hayley, but really bad smell in the gym up stairs- this sometimes is that case and hasn't always been this way, is the air con broken? Not pleasant.

Bad atmosphere
Bad atmosphere, staff like zombies (no greeting on arrival either). I get that this is a commercial gym but it doesn’t even have basic equipment (no leg extension). Not good enough.
