Got trapped inside the building

Got trapped inside the building, nobody was there to help. My phone died so I could not leave the building. No emergency exit, it is a FIRE HAZARD

Stale equipment + too busy!

Stale equipment, no age verifications means they let people clearly underage come and take up space (not actually working out, sitting on machines browsing phones)

Don't bother paying extra for things like hydration station, It's regularly not filled up so it just pours metallic tasting water.

On the plus side, Staff seem helpful and always busy!

Hygiene challenged

Decent gym, value for money, it’s cheap and it’s a gym. Decent vibe. But…and this is a big one, it’s soooooo gross. Like if you want to use the toilet be prepared for the stench of urine, wet floors, no hand soap, possibly no loo roll etc. like worse than a busy bar on a Saturday night. I’ve heard the showers are gross too but luckily don’t need them so I can’t comment but based on the toilets I would be surprised if they’re not filthy. There is never anyway to wipe down equipment either the spray is missing or it’s empty. Which means no one wipes anything down 🤢. I’ve taken to bringing a hoody to cover machines I use to protect myself and not sweat directly on the machines. I would also say there’s a contingency of folks here with bad gym etiquette, like holding machines when they’re not using them, borrowing equipment without asking if it’s in use, and there’s a fair bit of staring from some of the male gym goers. But over all the crowd is okay and I don’t feel bad working out solo as a woman. But the lack of cleanliness means I’ll be shopping around for an alternative as that’s a deal breaker for me.

We were approached by a member of staff…

We were approached by a member of staff and told us 'its twice now that you haven't put the weight back, can you go and put the weights back' - not even approaching us with 'guys would you mind putting the weights back' or ' guys just to let you know after working out can you just put the weights back' - we left ONE machine with weights on however, we thought it was ok as we found the weights from other equipments that weren't being used. I am uncertain if this is a level of laziness from staff or whatnot. Eventually we put weights back from machines we didn't use and weights we didn't even put in, while he proceeded to chat with his mate. This level of customer service is unacceptable in an environment like the gym. The standard and level of approach is appalling. I hope he does not talk to other customers like this.

Hi there - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. Weights being returned are a part of our gym rules includes putting weights back after use. It helps keep the area safe and respectful for other members. We all share the space, so tidying up after workouts makes a big difference. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. Thanks, PureGym.

Difficult to buy day pass

I just wanted a day pass for another gym and it wouldn’t let me use the same account without upgrading. I’m not going to upgrade for 1 time. Had to use a different email address to pay and get access

Hi Tony - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. We would like to assure you that we are reviewing feedback and will ensure this is addressed in club.

Staff do undertake regular maintenance checks and work hard with our equipment providers to ensure that our equipment are 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. Thanks, PureGym.

Good atmosphere, needs more exercise bikes

I liked the atmosphere, the fact you can go 24 hours a day and the accessibility. I haven't given it 5 stars as there were only 3 bikes outside the spin area which were all being used so I had to wait. 3 bikes in a big gym like that is not many. Also, it could do with another bin by the door. Despite those things, I will definitely go back.

Recently rejoined the aylsham rd

Recently rejoined the aylsham rd, Norwich gym. And as I am well aware it is an affordable gym, it is a shame that equipment is not kept in full working order. A treadmill I used had a deteriorated digital data screen and a spin cycle had a broken pedal strap. I understand these may not be major defects but paying members deserve their equipment to be in full working order! Also not many sanitising sprays around and on my most recent visit, the only spray bottle I could find was empty so I was unable to clean down after a spin class! So please do better!

Hi there - Thank you for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

We always advise that new members have an induction to ensure they are familiar with the lay out of the gym and understand how to use the different pieces of equipment. Inductions are usually placed on the class time table.

You can also get in touch with the Gym Manager via email, and an induction can be arranged for a specific date and time.

Alternatively, members are able to speak to the staff in the gym (if they are not on the gym floor, please feel free to knock on the staff room door) and have an induction. Thanks, PureGym
