I’ve been a member for around 5 months, training with Dave Fuller (a personal trainer at the Coventry SkyDome gym). Prior to this I didn’t feel comfortable in a gym setting and had no experience lifting weights. Since training with Dave 3x a week this has changed completely. I now look forward to working out and have made a lot of progress. He’s a great guy to be around, very knowledgable and has pushed me to improve my performance week on week. I’d definitely recommend him as a trainer and wish I started sooner.

I tried to phone PureGym but could not find a phone number. While trying to sign up again on the internet, for me AND my wife together, I had to do it separately. It was frustrating. After being offered the 30% deal and no joining fee, the payment and direct debit link seemed to have the wrong figures used. I left it because I assume you can “sort it out” and get back to me if it is wrong? I would hate to have to cancel prematurely!

Dave Fuller PT
As an overweight, fifty plus lady who had never set foot in a gym I was very nervous about going for the first time. Dave immediately put me at ease, with no judgement and welcomed me to the gym.
He is very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in his field and brilliant at what he does. He explains how to do everything and why, is full of encouragement and pushes me to achieve my goals without putting me off. He always has a smile on his face and has helped me beyond words.
I have also developed osteoarthritis in my knee of late and Dave has helped develop a rehab programme for me to follow on my alternate sessions.
It's not something I find easy but Dave has a lot of patience and I feel so much better because of it. I can't recommend his ability and teaching style enough. I have so much more confidence now and his advice and support has been invaluable

I started my journey with Dave about 6–7 months ago, and I can already see and feel a big difference. I've never had the confidence to go to the gym and lift weights. I have always been shy and stuck to cardio (as it was the safest option!), but since Dave became my PT, I have felt motivated to try out various machines and free weights. He is focused on helping me achieve my goals and tailors a weekly programme for me via the app, so we both can keep track of how I am progressing.
I would really recommend Dave; he’s such a fun, chilled-out guy, he’s very knowledgeable and always ensures my technique is correct, but most of all, he really likes to challenge me and therefore I really look forward to our Saturday morning sessions!

Superb support from puregym team . They are knowledge about the topics are superb

Good gym, good class I tried out with 3 day free pass. Just not keen other members don't clean equipment after the class and didn't see the instructor instill this either after the class. Might be a one-off but doesn't come across that well. Otherwise, this is a good place to train by the looks.

Apart from the gym always being in a good state, PTs like Dave make my gym experience all the more better. Dave has been my first ever PT for the past half a year and has consistently made me want to better myself every week.

He is knowledgeable in terms of nutrition and workout guidance, and watchful over my form to ensure I get the most out of my sets, without hurting myself. Through his encouragement and support, I have found a better liking for going to the gym. I would recommend Dave as a PT to everyone, regardless of your goals as he will most likely be able to help and support you.

Dave has been the most amazing PT. I’ve been having PT sessions with Dave for 5 months now and he has been wonderful to train with. Dave always makes the effort to ensure sessions are tailored and suited to my specific needs, ensuring the exercises target areas i am looking to get stronger in. Dave is also attentive during PT sessions, making sure my form is correct and pushes me to get stronger and fitter in the gym. Sessions are always enjoyable as he is super friendly, approachable and easy to talk to. Would 100% recommend PT sessions with Dave if you’re looking for a fun and effective gym programme.

I do exactly what I want. There is a variety of equipment that I believe suits everyone. The gym does not discriminate. It's a 24 hour gym hence you can come any time. It's a friendly gym. People mind their own business. The staff are friendly and approachable if you are not too sure of anything. If you need a personal trainer, they are approachable and you choose. The gym is clean and whilst you should clean after yourself, the staff are continuously cleaning the equipment. I love Skydome Pure gym and can recommend it to anyone that needs to join a good gym.

Good gym has everything you could ever need but I didn’t like the layout it felt like no matter what machine I was on someone could stare maybe it’s cause I’ve just started so feel self conscious x

Gym is too cold, even after a rigorous workout, I can’t warm up.
The showers are cold too, just one has intermittent hot and cold water.
The gym manager has been informed, but he already knew. I also mentioned how clean and tidy it was compared to JD, the Wave, Village gyms.
I was a member here when it opened, but have been working abroad past few years.

pure gym is really pure and is the definition of public gym, every tool and equipment is available

I have been training with Barry for about 9 months now and it has been awesome!!!. Barry has been focused on helping me achieve my goals in a short time even when I am quite demotivated. The trainings are great with fun and challenging sessions. Looking forward to much more training in 2024!!

Overall it’s a good gym. The only problem I’ve got is that people come inside with outside dirty shoes, leaving mud on the ground, footprints of dirt on exercise mat as well…

Review for Coventry PureGyms locations

It would be nice to have sauna and steam room.

Good gyms and quality and quite cheap so not a bad option. Does get busy at peak times but that's expected. Decent variety of machines. What ruined it though is that if you miss a payment they try to make you pay an extra 20 to re new it. That's outrageous imo. Other than that good gym just make sure you have money each month

Been working with Jemma a couple of months now , so amazing at what she does! Constantly keeping me motivated and reminding me of the end goal. Each workout is different, and although it may feel tough, Jemma always encourages me to keep pushing forward. While achieving my goal she always knows how to bring some fun into the session and knows how to connect with you on a 1 to 1 basis. Couldn’t recommend Jemma enough!! X

I just want to share since training with Dave now for a year, I have grown in confidence and can see the massive improvement with my fitness plus my technique.

I feel welcome in the gym and the other PT’s are very friendly and polite as well.

I would definitely recommend him as your PT, He is very approachable, he drives success and encourages you to strive for more. I couldn’t ask for a better PT at all for the journey that I am on.

Thank you Dave for your support and commitment to me this past year.

If I could give zero stars I would. Since lockdown it's gone down hill and stayed there. Staff have changed and they don't know how to run a gym. It's filthy whenever I clean down the wipes come back black so unsure if any cleaning takes place. I've witnessed PT's leave weights out on the floor setting a great standard for others... I tried emailing my concerns after being inappropriately approached by a trainer and they stopped replying when we were meant to arrange a talk. I then walked in last week and voiced my concerns to the person I was with which the manager overheard and said yeah and laughed. So I've cancelled my membership. Laughing in the face of a customer that has concerns about the gym is absolutely disgusting.

Today was my first day and really let down.
Recently started working in Coventry but home is Sutton Coldfield. Was going for the off peak membership as I wanted to do 6.30am classes before work but as I wanted both gyms had to pay the higher membership, which is fine.
I got up at 5am today, got ready, drove to Coventry to do the class I was booked onto. I was then told that as I was the only one booked on he cancelled the class!!! I asked if they had sent an email or message telling people and he just said no we don’t do that. I said I’d got up at 5am to get there and he just said ‘oh right’ and walked round pointing machines out to me.
Not exactly sure how that is acceptable as he is paid to be there and I’m paying to do the class. Whether it is one person or twenty the class should be taught.
So now im left having paid for this and not getting what I’ve paid for.
I only joined for the 6.30 classes as it’s the only time I have but am I now expected to turn up at 6.30am n hope that I might actually get what I’ve paid for?
Really, really disappointed. It’s taken me so much to get in the right headspace to get back to the gym n having to work around my diary and split time between Birmingham and Coventry and getting up super early to do so, only to be let down.
Very bad service and not sure I’m going to go back. Sad really. Only expect the guy to do his job and what I’m paying for.

With regards to your response, yet again I’m am being shown the lack of interest in customer service or satisfaction. Instead I’m being told to contact other people and (as you mention in your reply) it would be easier to include all my information. ALL THE INFORMATION IS IN THE ORIGINAL REVIEW/EMAIL! I told u which gyms, what days, what time and you have my name! Seriously how difficult can it be.
This place is just making me more and more angry. STAY AWAY FROM PUREGYM - You can see from start to finish the way things have been and how they’ve been dealt with. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!
