worst gym management I have ever…

worst gym management I have ever experienced. This place practice horrible customer service. The staff have no idea of what's going on. It's the first time I've been to a place where the trainer doesn't show up to a class. I completely understand the low star rating here. Save yourself the drama and frustration and join a professionally run gym. Not this one!!

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, but we are sorry to see it's 1 star.
We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused on your visit.

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.

We would like to assure you that we are reviewing feedback and will ensure all points are addressed in club. Thanks, PureGym

Away from home, needed gym, easy solution.

Was visiting Lincoln and needed to do a triathlon trg session. Was able to buy a single day pass and use a gym at 0650 on a Sunday morning. Sent a pin by email after payment. Instant access. Clean changing rooms, secure lockers, clean and warm showers. Equipment modern and good quality. Surprised to see a few others in there at such a time. Positive atmosphere with music. Water available. Only criticism is that I could not find blue towel paper to wipe down equipment after use. Found a spray so used my own towel and that.

Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave this rating, but I'm sorry to see it's 1 star. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We’re afraid it's true, our gyms simply are very popular and so can become busy especially at peak times, but this does fluctuate throughout the day and from day to day.
Members can also use the members area via the PureGym app or website, to see how many people are in the gym. Thanks, PureGym

Charged for access but gym was closed!

I am an occasional user (not an ongoing monthly member) - I booked access to the Lincoln St Marks gym for 25/12/23 but when I arrived there it was closed, but this was not stated on their website at the time of payment.

I emailed 'customer services' but didn't receive a reply, so I emailed again early January but again no reply, so they gladly took my £8 specifically for access to the Lincoln gym on that date but I have no way of recovering the money.

Just ignoring customers' emails and not replying is not OK!

lovely gym

i've been going here for a while now. it's a very good gym. The staff are freindly, the management is attentive and easy to approach, and it's a clean and welcoming environment with planty of choices. my cricisms are slight but i shall mention them.

1. This one isn't a criticism, just an observation. The gym could do with a heavy bag and speedball for boxers and kickboxers to train on.

2. i notice that some times between sets some customers spend a long time playing on thier phones.. There's nothing wrong with that in theory as we all need to take a break but i've noticed some do it for more than 15 minutes while tieing up the machine. I recall one one occasion a guy was doing powerlifting on the deadlifting area. he put a load of weight on. did one lift then started playing on his phone. half an hour later he did another lift with more weight then played on his phone for another half hour before doing his final lift. he tied up that machine for an hour for three lifts. i'm sure other people were waiting to use it.

Love the gym

Love the gym, I struggled in the past with other gyms and finding it motivating but this time it has been different. I think the app makes a difference as it tracks our activity and has lots of workouts for me to follow with explanations on how to do it. It’s absolutely fantastic!!! The staff is always friendly and happy to help and the free top up of sports water is definitely a plus

Something is always broken. The gym should have a max capacity at 150 as after that you can have up to 5 people waiting for a machine. Staff are friendly and so are the people in the gym. Everything is well placed out and the sessions are brilliant..
