Hot,damp and mouldy

Hot, damp and mouldy Ipswich branch is disgusting. Anyone with asthma will struggle to breathe in this heat. Mould spores must be having a party. Making me wheeze sitting writing this. Sweaty before I even start my work out. Ambient temperature 22! Ridiculous in a gym

Great environment

I was visiting a friend in Ipswich who invited me to PureGym at no extra cost. The process is seamless, and registration is straightforward. The gym has a great ambience with plenty of room and equipment.

The new layout since the refurbishment is very good.
The only thing I would like to see is a few more clocks.
There is now only 1 clock in the functional area.
Would be helpful having 1 in the studio and in the free weights area.
