A Great Gym At A Reasonable Price
I have been going to my local Pure Gym for over 3 years and although originally the facilities needed some improvement, a major refurbishment in Autumn 2024 with some new equipment has greatly improved things.
The atmosphere is friendly and at least the time that I go, 7am onwards it's not too busy which means I can get on the equipment that I want to.
The only negative I have is that if there are problems, management often tends to put off fixing them until they become larger problems and then more costly to repair.

Easy joining process
My joining experience went really smoothly with easy to follow instructions that listed out exactly what they were. The app and website are set up nicely for beginners and give advice on where to start. Great app and great gym with good equipment.

One day pass experience.
I had a great experience using the PureGym one-day pass! The gym was clean, spacious, and had all the equipment I needed for a solid workout. Definitely a great option for anyone wanting to try out the gym before committing!

Thought I would rejoin bitterne Southampton pure gym as they always did a lot of spinning classes, to my dismay they only have two classes a week on so now looking for another gym that can cater for my needs. False advertisement as states new state of art bikes didn’t mention hardly any classes

Machines missing since refurbishment!
Nearby JD gyms has lateral raise & chest fly machines, so does PureGym Southampton Central, so does PureGym Southampton Shirley, but not Bitterne PureGym. They used to but since refurbishment, they’ve gone. They have more than one machine for lateral pull downs, rear delts etc. Take some of those out and put in lateral raise and chest fly!!! Crazy! Other than that, nice and clean and good air conditioning throughout.

Hi there - 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.

New benches are horrible, too low, little too wide and the fact you can’t change the seat and the back separate is just dumb. Pure gym Southampton central had those benches ages ago. Havnt been there since so dont know if it change since. New dumbbell rack’s top part is further away than the old one making it much more taxing on the lower back to lift off the heavier weights. Also it could use some stickers for all the lazy and autistic people who can’t figure out where to put the dumbbells. 1 dumbbell from 36-50 is just not enough. For someone who’s been a member for probably over 8 years I do understand I’m no longer the target member and you had to upgrade the gym to stay competitive with JD next door but I feel like this was probably the worse upgrade so far and apart from the cardio machines it was fairly pointless.
