Disappointing

I want to share my experience at this gym, and unfortunately, it has been quite disappointing.
Firstly, I have been a member since the gym opened, but I recently had to change gyms due to ongoing issues. I raised concerns about privacy and filming by staff members through emails to PureGym head office. Despite my clear requests, the response (by Lily) indicated that the local manager at the Dumfries gym allowed staff to record and post content on social media.
Quote: “ I have recently heard back from the Dumfries gym manager regarding your concerns surrounding PT's filming in the gym. We have been informed that PT's have permission to film on site for their businesses and social media”
This directly contradicts the gym’s official rules, which clearly state that filming is not allowed and that the rules “don’t bend.” This inconsistency in rule enforcement is extremely frustrating and undermines trust.
In addition to the privacy issues, the gym’s climate control is problematic. During the summer, the gym becomes unbearably hot due to the metal roof, making it extremely difficult to train. Unlike in winter, where one can simply add layers, the summer heat makes training nearly impossible. In winter, it’s somewhat easier to cope by adding an extra layer before warming up, but the changing rooms become extremely cold, making it uncomfortable when getting changed. I’ve also tried to take showers after training, especially during lunch hours, and the water is often freezing as well.
Additionally, the changing room conditions are subpar. The sink area often has a strong, unpleasant odor, making it uncomfortable and reflecting poorly on the gym’s maintenance and cleanliness standards.
Overall, my experience has been disappointing, and I hope the gym management takes these concerns seriously and works towards consistent rule enforcement, proper climate control, and improved hygiene standards.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. As per our Gym Rules, we do ask members to not take pictures, videos or live stream other members within the gym without their permission. We please ask that you get in touch with further details, to allow us to conduct into this matter. Please be assured a full investigation will take place, and the team on hand will reply back as soon as possible. You can email our team at member.services@purgeym.com or via safespace@puregym.com; a confidential means of alerting us to any behavioural concerns.

Temperatures/air con in our gyms are automatically regulated by Smart machines, but if there is a persistent issue staff may be able to override it and can certainly report it to be checked by engineers. Whilst there have not been concerns on shower temperatures flagged during the monthly temperature checks, this will also be looked into further. We thank you for raising this feedback with us, and please be assured that the club will continue to monitor this. Thanks, PureGym
