Hi Tanya- Thanks for taking the time to leave this review! 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 do our very best to provide a wide range of classes, so that members have a variety of ways to workout and also do so, in a short amount of time, as we understand some members are crunched for time or just prefer shorter (but effective) workouts.

PureGym St Albans offers great value for money with clean facilities and helpful staff who explain the app-based system well. Fantastic instructors like Rome, Ricardo, and Adam lead engaging classes, though frequent schedule changes can be frustrating. Some equipment maintenance could improve, but overall, PureGym has what you need, especially for starters.

Thoroughly enjoy the classes.
I have loved joining and attending the classes, which has really helped me through a challenging time in my life.
I really enjoy the 45 mins GLC with Pira Coren on a Tuesday, great variety and challenging at the same time.

Really good gym and equipment
Equipment and speed to access equipment was exemplary. My only fault was the lack of sanitation spray for hands.

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.
Pros and cons
Plenty of plates and dumbells. Good equipment, loving the assault bikes and cardio equipment. However there's a too many treadmills, I never see even half being used at once. Aswell as the area for sled pulls or just general hyrox workouts is very minimal.
Some of the flooring is uneven. Especially in areas used for squatting.
Equipment is kept extremely clean. And there isn't any major damage sustained to any of the Equipment.

Hi Oliver - Thank you 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.

Great gym with a variety of good working equipment to meet the needs of many people training for endurance, strength, hypertrophy and polymetric
A Good amount of space, a clean environment and very nice friendly, helpful staff.
I would offer a few suggestions to rate this gym a 10-10 as opposed to an 8 out of 10.
1. Keep people OFF the green carpet Area, As follows:
Keep static trainers off the green carpet while doing ab work, stretching, static weights training and general exercise that can be done in any space.
as the green carpet should ONLY be used for suitcase carry’s, walking burpee broad jumps,pushing, pulling the sledge, pushing, pulling the rope, lunge walking and any kind of movement exercise.
As the above exercises cannot be done in any other area of the gym and if I go there to do hyrox training sometimes it’s not possible to do this.
2.Also Keep people training away from the WALL ball throw spots as you can’t throw the ball on the spot when a human is there.
3. Install a punchbag in the open space next to the studio downstairs.
& the last suggestion:
4. Purchase a primal curved treadmill for people training Hyrox, & cardio heart control. That makes this gym a 10-10 👍👍👍

Difficulty in changing venue for my 3 day pass.
I've found it a little difficult to change the venue for my 3 day pass. However, although my first email went to the wrong person, Dave Cook, from London Colney, who responded to me done so very promptly and has helped me to redirect my enquiry, hopefully with success.
