Hi Amanda. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we are happy to see this is 4 stars.

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 and friendly environment. We have recently made slight changes to the shower temperatures, to 33 degrees, both to control our energy usage and to reduce our carbon footprint. All member feedback is reviewed, and brought to the attention of our Facilities team, who regularly review any changes we make to our gym facilities, and we would like to thank you for passing on these concerns.

Thanks, PureGym

Hi - Thanks 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’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

equipment needed

The Puregym in Basford should have more equipment to deal with the ever growing clients including a hack squat machine, pendulum squat to help people train legs with knee injuries as these support the back and knee much better than a squat machine
there should be implications put in place for people that do not tidy away their equipment as it is not right that any one else should do it and the cleaner should have to navigate around stray weights

Hi Laura. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback.

We always aim to provide a broad spread of kit to cater to a range of fitness needs and meet demand as it changes through the day, getting the balance right between weights and cardio, but if you have any other/specific suggestions please approach the Gym Manager or leave a note in the feedback box, which is regularly reviewed.

Thanks, PureGym.

Filled to brim with male juiceheads.

Firstly, no complaints about the equipment or the staff - there's great choices and the staff are polite. However, the gym is stuffed to the brim of juice head men and young boys that takeover any kind of weight-involved equipment, and stare at girls throughout their visit, intimidating them and stopping them from considering using the equipment. There needs to be a ladies section, or a ladies day/specific hours. I understand its a mixed gym, but it's predominantly men, because of how uncomfortable they make the visits for women. I am strongly considering leaving already after only a month because all I feel i can do is cardio for 30 minutes then leave and try to do extra bits at home. Considering the price, there needs to be more put in place to make it accessible for both genders. It's targeted to men - pure and simple. I'm going to likely pay a higher monthly payment for a gym with a ladies section of the gym. We lift weights too.

Ban those who dont stack dumbbells

You should watch the cctv and ban the people that don’t stack dumbbells and weights. They throw them around and leave them in the middle. The gym is always dirty, during covid you had 2 or 3 cleaners at night now it looks like nobody cleans the gym. Although the equipment is better the atmosphere and people are worse month by month.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback.

It is in the gym rules that members should return their own weights or risk suspension, but at peak times especially it can be hard to police this. However, staff on site do everything they can while we also have CCTV monitoring the free weights and are looking for new ways to combat this.

Thanks, PureGym

The eqipment was in good condition

The eqipment was in good condition, although some of it was awaiting repair.I had a good work out as usual the changing rooms were clean and cool ,but I notice the clock was missing, just a minor thing. It is still a very good gym.

I have been a member of basofrd gym for a few months now after which realising that I wouldn't get any help from majority of the staff nearly every single male staff member doesn't carry out any standard duties of a personal trainer no daily cleaning checks no toilet checks find a literal poo on the floor informing a staff member and 2 hours later still there while finding nost of them unapproachable for help as only interested in helping women appearing to me like sex pests which is ashame as the industry already has a bad name but instead of helping a new comer with bad technique in the free weights section they would just ignore them and OR just stand there on their phones running up to women interrupting workouts just to introduce themselves
