Spacious gym with good variety of equipments. However, some improvement areas: some equipments are less in number (some only 1) causing crowding. Some equipments need servicing. The weighing machine is chargeable for checking body composition (3pounds) and there is no support if money is stuck. However, the staff is very helpful and friendly.

Unfairly treated by member of staff
Unfairly treated by member of staff,by kicking me and my mates off a cable rudely, for a woman to use without listening to our point of view. Also other trainers around me have gone up to the worker to question him why he has made this decision. People in the gym should wait for machines and have equal rights.

Removed mid workout
Normally I enjoy the gym, especially because I’m new and learning as I go with friends of mine, however this session was awful, from a member of staff and a user of the gym.
During our workout, this woman approached us asking us how long we would be, we replied “a long time, like 10 mins”. We waited for the cable machines and with 3 of us it will take a while to rotate between us it took a bit longer then expected around 20 mins. The woman went to get a member of staff to complain to us about how long we were taking. The staff member came to us with anger, belittling us calling us teenagers and not letting us talk and saying that we are taking the piss, and removed us of the cable machines, we had no chance to talk about the situation and stopped our workout mid-way-through.
Later, we went back to see what the women was doing and she was flicking her hair in the mirror and on her phone the whole time.
If the machine is taken in the gym you wait like a normal person we waited for the same machine so can she. And the member of staff had no clue about the situation but instantly took sides with the woman in the wrong.

It was my first time in the gym on Monday, and i was a little nervous, Kurtis offered to show me around, very informative with a positive attitude ! The gym was looking absolutely spotless and the variety of equipment is amazing too!
Looking forward to doing all the classes as they look really fun!

WORST GYM IN EUROPE
all equipment was faulty. weights were uncalibrated and incorrectly labelled. The toilets were filthy and stinking. The ONLY bench press was in a corner (of which has no air con and was pungent and smelling of BO) was shaking and unstable, incorrectly assembled and all round unsafe. As someone who consistently lifts weights, this was my worst experience of my many years of gym going. I will never return back to this horrible dystopian gym.

Nothing seems to be done about people…. Also staff should be asking trainers to put weights back on stands
Nothing seems to be done about people sitting on machines using their mobile phones, ignoring the possibility other trainers may be waiting to use the equipment

Hi Ian - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. It is in the gym rules that members should return their own weights or risk suspension, but at peak times especially it can be hard to police this. However, staff on site do everything they can while we also have CCTV monitoring the free weights and are looking for new ways to address this. Regarding people sitting on machines, please do feel free to ask to switch in with a member while they rest between sets, this can also help you keep an even pace between sets. Thanks, PureGym.

Decent Gym with Room for Improvement
It’s an okay gym, but the machines and furnishings, including the lockers, are in need of replacement. The gym equipment is showing signs of wear and tear, which affects the overall experience. In comparison, facilities like the Mentor Centre and other nearby locations seem to offer better quality and maintenance.

Hi there - Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. We would like to assure you that we are reviewing feedback and will ensure this is addressed in club. Staff do undertake regular maintenance checks and work hard with our equipment providers to ensure that our equipment is fixed as soon as possible, if any should be broken. We are equally as disappointed when this happens and sometimes need to wait on engineers but will have all equipment in full working order as soon as is safely possible. If you have any concerns about equipment, please notify staff on site as soon as you can. Thanks, PureGym
