Hi Abigail. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we are 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 do our very best to provide a wide range of classes, so that members have a variety of ways to workout and also do so, in a short amount of time, as we understand some members are crunched for time or just prefer shorter (but effective) workouts. Don't forget that our app also has lots of features so that members can get the most out of their membership! We hope you continue to enjoy using the gym overall! Thanks, PureGym

Pure gym permits male staff to enter female changing area regularly

Equipment is good, if scarce due to how busy the gym gets. I was really disappointed that because Pure gym has so few staff on at anyone time, it is policy that male staff members are permitted to regularly enter the female changing area for “safety checks”. This is wildly lacking in consideration of female client’s psychological safety. I was shocked to learn this is common practice across all the Pure gyms. A business model that prioritises saving money over client’s safety and comfort. And this gym boasts having a female only workout section. Very contradictory.

Cancelled Classes …

Would help if a class is cancelled that members are sent a message rather than turn up

The gym facilities looked good.

The gym facilities looked good.
I signed up for the class mainly because I wanted guidance. However, the trainer was below par. He did not even correct the postures.
The whole purpose of signing up for a class is to get help and guidance and received zero support from the guy.
I had signed up for the legs, bums and tums + absolute abs.
