Hi - Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we're delighted to see this is 5 stars! We want to provide our members with a safe space in which they can get a great workout in and do so, in a clean and friendly environment. We love being able to help and chat to our members when given the opportunity to do so and we are really happy to hear you enjoy using the gym overall! Looking forward to seeing you back soon! Thanks, PureGym
Amazing, clean and huge.
It's a big gym with enough machines, a studio for classes and clean and tidy changing rooms.
Can be crowded in peak times but there's still space on the cycles and treadmills and even with the weights.
The best thing is that it is mostly clean and tidy and the app covers everything.

Hi Jebrah - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we are sorry to hear this has been your experience and see this is 1 star. This is not anything the gym management team had been aware of. It would really help us if you could get in touch directly with the Gym Manager to provide more information (such as date and time or names etc.) so this can be properly investigated. We continue to ask, as we always have, that members bring a sweat towel with them to wipe equipment. Outside of this, our gyms have full cleaning schedules. If you have any concerns surrounding this then please raise this with the gym management team so they can look into this also. Thanks, PureGym
Great Gym and classes
Great Gym and location i recently joined classes, Alexis cross is brilliant and great with training, knows a lot about the field and a great instructor! Having said this she’s very inspirational and motivational and when it comes to work she ensures we do our best and more! Looking forward to the next class

I had the pleasure of training with Alexis Cross before and what a great addition to the gym I am sure she is going to be. Alexis is kind, listens to you and makes you feel at ease from the first moment. I trained with Alexis to gain flexibility, work on my shoulders, arms and abdomen. I can say that she's great and would recommend her to anyone.

Puregym visit
Gym equipment good, staff friendly but changing rooms really need to be regularly cleaned throughout the day especially the showers as they were not in a fit sate to use! The 3 stars are due to cleanliness. The increase in gym fees should mean that this should not be happening.

Price confusion
After I joined the material and information received has been great but there was a great deal of confusion re prices with multiple adverts for lower prices and non acceptance of discount vouchers etc. not sure how I ended up paying a joining fee and a higher monthly price than advertised

Way too busy at all times
Way too busy at all times, far too many people texting while using machines, feels like going back to high school average age is 15. Do you even check the ages of the people using the gym?
Staff just standing around texting zero motivation. All in all I’ll look for another gym this one is awful.

Hi Matt, thanks for leaving us this review. We are sorry to see this is 1 star.
Where possible, we ask that members share equipment between sets, to ensure that all members are able to get the most out of their workout. Although sometimes this isn't possible, we do ask that other members are taken into consideration when taking breaks between sets.
Staff do have the right to ID anyone they believe to be under the age of 16. If you have any concerns, we would advise raising these with the Gym Team/Manager who will be happy to investigate further.
Thanks, PureGym
Nice and simple
Nice and simple. Previous member pre Covid so was simple enough to join back up and got a good price.

Joining fee issue.
Hello. The process itself was quite easy and only took few minutes, however I used code for no joining fee in May that was at the top of your website but it showed expired. Can you manually fix this issue as I had to pay full price.

Class music too loud've coming to this…
Class music too loud've coming to this gym since May 2018 and its a good gym however, occasionally they get staff in who start taking classes and seem to think the louder the music the better. The class taken today 22nd April 2025 at 5.30pm was jyst ridiculous. I couldn't even gear my own music in my earbuds. I spoke to the guy taking the class but he just ignored my request to reduce it a small amount. We all pay to ge here and its not all about one guy with big ego

Hygiene needs to be enforced here
Machines were of a good quality. Hygiene needs to be improved. Many people moving from machine to machine without washing them down after use.

Hi Danielle - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. We pump over 2,000 litres of fresh air into our gyms every second though our ventilation systems. This helps to dilute airborne virus particles and ensure members have clean fresh air to workout.
Our gyms are also cleaned every night with high-grade anti-viral disinfectant. The team also clean every piece of kit and surface throughout the day, from dumbbells to treadmills and everything in between, so you can train with confidence.
We've also installed new self-cleaning stations so you can clean your kit before and after use, for added peace of mind. Cleaning stations are located in all key areas of the gym to make it as easy as possible. Thanks, PureGym.
