You didn't let me complete registration and none of your online resources helped. I showed up to the gym and had to turn around and go home.

Excellent Core class with Tainia

Went to the Core class this morning with a new trainer Tainia. She is fabulous and so motivating. Great pace, great sequence of exercises, she checks on everyone’s posture - it was a great class.

Small gym and most expensive

It’s a small gym compared to other pure gyms and when it gets busy there’s no point trying to be in there as you won’t be able to use anything , the changing rooms are super cramped and very old school (mixed men and woman).

Hi Alana - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We always appreciate and take on member feedback.

Our gyms are indeed very popular and so can become busy especially at peak times, but this does fluctuate throughout the day. Members can also use the members area via the PureGym app or website to see how many people are in the gym.

Please also feel free to ask to switch in with a member while they rest between sets, this can also help you keep an even pace between sets. Thanks, PureGym.

FREE GYM for 3 days

It was FREE! I am a public sector worker and find the gym so expensive. Pure gym is great but far to pricey for education salaries. I do not have time to go weekly but on the odd day here and there. The cost for a day is nearly £15!!!

Just lower the price. We are desperately trying to earn a living and get fit. Offer school staff bigger discounts. Private sector workers get good salaries, flexible working hours and a chance to work from home. School staff do not get any of that. How about school staff days or weekends where its cheaper for us to use the Gym. How about coming in and meeting us and offering great deals. We need help with membership costs. Surely you realise this but just insist on making more and more money for yourselves.

Hi Satnam. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback.
It is great to hear you could take advantage of one of our promotions!

With regards to cost of our memberships this does depend on a number of factors including location, running and rental costs.
We do have a variety of corporate discounts which you can look into by contacting your corporate provider.

If not looking for 24/7 access we do offer a lower Off Peak membership. For more info on costs/visit time please visit our homepage via www.puregym.com/gyms/london-bow-wharf/

We do hope to welcome you back in the future! Thanks, PureGym

Loud and disruptive classes

Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere

Classes are very loud and disruptive as there are no walls to contain the noise. Makes working out on the same floor very challenging even with headphones

Staff should undertake regular volume checks for the safety and comfort of our members including when running classes too, but if you approach the Gym Manager with more info they can look into this. Thanks, PureGym

Best experience

One of the best things about this gym no loud music well done makes it such a good experience .
Also lots of natural day light rather than artificial makes a world of difference .

I was pleasantly surprised by my visit would definitely recommend 10/10

Oz -the burpees whisperer

I'm deeply appreciative of the incredible classes led by Oz. His positive energy and expertise truly enhance each session, making them both enjoyable and effective. The variety in his classes keeps me engaged and encourages me to push myself. Thank you so much for everything you do. I eagerly look forward to our next class!

Poor layout. Poor maintenance.

Poor layout - There's a 'warming' area directly in front of numerous bikes all of which are largely unused except during infrequent cycle classes where they're only 'mostly' unused. Equipment is often broken or in disrepair. There's one dark haired young PT that cleans everything as though his life depended on it, the two other PTs (if there's more I'm yet to see them) seem largely indifferent - Management much the same.

This should be a great space. it's not.
