Over the last few weeks it's been very frustrating, classes have been on the app, I book, then no trainer turns up, I msg the gym but no reply.

During the cold weather, the car park has been an ice rink.

Small and petty but even the clocks in the changing room dont work.
It feels like people don't care.

The gym is clean however the machines are really old a lot of the spin bikes don’t work and none of the machines have been update since it opened. Compared to other gyms the classes are not great a the staff turn over is really high.

Have been a member throughout 2022 but this gym is in desperate need of updating. You tell us to leave comments in the box but the equipment is still not being updated!! I will have to go to Widnes if this doesn’t change soon as it doesn’t have a lot of the equipment I need, which is ridiculous when I live 2 min round the corner from the Runcorn one. I used to go to Warrington central when I lived there which was much better.

Better communication Runcorn

I’ve been a member of Pure Gym Runcorn for a while now with no real issues, that is until today (it’s very local to me and open at stupid o’clock in the morning when I need to train before work). You really need to work on communication and priorities Runcorn. I, like every member, received an e mail yesterday informing me that there was no CCTV so the gym was closed but would be reopening at 8am on Sunday morning. It would have been great if you had mentioned that it would be closing again at midday on the Sunday when the staff member present was leaving and there was still no CCTV! I was only informed of this at 11:40am on the Sunday, during the middle of a cross training session, when the said member of staff walked round the gym floor to inform everyone of the closure. If I had been informed of this fact earlier via e mail I would have either gone in earlier or gone straight over to Widnes (where I ended up going anyway to find that there was actually a member of staff still present there much later than at Runcorn) instead of having to abruptly abandon my workout. Have you not got staff that can cover when these issues arise? There were quite a lot of people in the gym at the time, some of whom had only just arrived, when they were told that they had to leave again. Apparently none of use were psychic so had no idea that we were waisting our time! Better communication and planning could have avoided this situation for everyone.

Runcorn is definitely neglected

Runcorn is definitely neglected in terms of investment and I’m convinced it’s used as a bit of a training location for PureGym staff. Great staff and customers but the equipment is in dire need of updating - for example finding a bike in a cycle/spin class that actually works can, especially if it’s quite full, be almost impossible. Either the electronic display is broken, the straps are broken or the resistance mechanism doesn’t work. It has been raised with the local gym manager in the past but you get the impression their hands are tied - shame really

Hi Dean. 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.

Dated and needs major investment.

Broken, old equipment. No new equipment since the gym opened in 2014 except for a poxy trap bar.

2 of the 4 Olympic bars are not weighted correctly. A very very poor gym in comparison to Pure Gym Widnes.

No assault bike, no ski erg, no plate loaded leg press. You can tell it’s a 2014 gym and not a 2022 gym.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we are sorry to see this is 1 star. We always appreciate and take on board member feedback.

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.

Thanks, PureGym

Great gym

Great gym, good atmosphere, have to wait for equipment sometimes during busy times and would also benefit from a couple of more updates pieces of equipment ie new leg press. Very clean and staff are friendly.

Lacks updated equipment, also needs more mirrors on the main wall. very cramped in the corner at peak time due to there only being 3 mirrors. Besides that does the job.
