Well there were confusing prices on the website. I had seen, and showed staff at the time of signing up in the gym, that there was an offer for £17.99 for 6 months. Which is what I was interested in. One of the staff noticed that is was showing the offer for only 3 months elsewhere on the website. Which I wasn’t interested in. As I had been mislead one of the staff said that I would be able to getting it for the 6 months as that was the price advertised and told me to go ahead with the membership and that he’d sort it out afater taking my details. Last night the manager told me she didn’t have any evidence of this and that her colleague shouldn’t have made this offer.

Gym equipment was all in good condition. It was very busy though. Peak times you may have to wait to get equipment to use.

Hi there - 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.

The introduction was very informative. Slight confusion with what a buddy member is entitled to in terms of how many times you can attend. Also it would be helpful to have more instructions to use the the various programs on the bike. Relaxed atmosphere enjoyable.

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

About the buddy memberships, they can go alongside you to your home gym 4 times per calendar month. E.g. 4 times in May, 4 times in June. They do not stack or roll over so are reset at the start of each month. It's great to hear you enjoy using the gym, please continue to have a brilliant time throughout your fitness journey! Thanks, PureGym.

It was alright

It was alright. I was a David Lloyd member before moving abraod. I'm probably not your ideal audience. For me, not an option.
But for another audience I'm sure it is ideal. The signing in didn't suit me on the doorstep. The being a goldfish bowl to passing people and kids stood watching me on a treadmill wasn't for me. Watching people park in the disable bay with no disable badges.... not for me.

Hi there - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. Please note due to the situation of our gyms it isn't always possible to modify the site itself although having windows does help for lots of good daylight.

We are always looking though to expand and improve our facilities where possible, so please keep an eye out for updates. If you have any specific suggestions regarding the layout of the gym please approach the Gym Manager or leave a note in the feedback box, which is regularly reviewed. Thanks, PureGym.

It's been generally a good experience in this new gym. One thing that I am concerned about is the amount of equipment and facilities. I have visited the gym when it has been quieter but occasionally have had to wait for machines or change my exercise plan. There only two showers and that has also been a bottleneck.

Really great gym, got most of what you need good use of space. Feel like the only thing that’s not 5 stars is lack of cardio machines

Gyms an okay size, limited facilities

Gyms an okay size. A good selection of equipment and a good atmosphere. Sadly the changing rooms and toilets are what let the gym down. There’s only 3 individual toilets and 1 shower. 22 lockers and 1 mirror. This is obviously somewhat limited so does make it tricky, specially for morning workouts prior to work.
