Great Gym, good equipment collection, and less busy than other gyms. However parking is difficult during working hours and equipment stay broken for a long time.

Always overcrowded.

Member of staff who gave me a class was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I decided the gym wasn't for me though as it was too over crowded unfortunately at a time of the evening you wouldn't expect it to be. This meant I couldn't get to use the equipment I wanted to and in particular the free weights and benches.

Absolutely love Sophie?s Spin class on a Monday and Wednesday AM. I went from absolutely hating spin to really enjoying it. Sophie is brilliant and gives you plenty of motivation, coaching tips and is also super helpful for those who have never done it before. Really recommend her class so thank you Sophie!

A very well-organized gym with all the machines and equipment needed for proper exercises

The only gym I've lasted more than 3 months at. Now been a member for 8 years. Large and spacious with good quality equipment. The only negative is it's not as clean as it used to be.

This gym has an abundance of good equipment. Having been a competitive athlete fo 20 years and a gym owner myself. I'd be surprised if 50% ot the patrons do any exesise correctly. I've found a severe lack of gym etiquette. Customers sit on apparatus between sets on their damn smart phones for extended periods,while others are forced to use alternative equipment disrupting their routines.

As a PureGym User for many years I have to say on the whole it offers great facilities, what I would say is that sanitising stations need filling up as soon as their emptyOn a personal and mental health note I wondered if Fitness instructors could do the rounds and approach gym members as they are working out and ask how their workouts are going and whether there's anything they would like to see more of.I think that kind of every once in a while type of engagement would enable members to feel more secure in the gym.My last observation is not about the staff so much but more of an observation that the young male gym users in this gym here really need to chill out more and feel empowered in working out, I see a lot of matcho stuff being projected to see if they are better than people. If you have had a workout smile hold your head up and be proud of who you are and don't listen to what the media, people or what anyone says you should be or conform to just chill out and enjoy your workouts a bit more.I notice a lot of gym users come alive when they engage with fellow members so I think they should just be confident to be themselves when coming alone.I get there's pressure to impress women who look nice but the focus and emphasis should be about just improving your mental health and keeping fit and being happy about yourself in life and stop conforming to pear pressure to be something or someone your not I never care what people think I just do my great workouts and head home.That's where I think introducing a bit of Instructor engagement with Gym user's might help with feelings of isolation as well as people going to classes.

could use a couple more bench presses, its a big gym with a lot of people coming in, most of the time both are occupied unless you come really early or really late

I do appreciate this is not a premium gym, it?s a cheap pay monthly gym rather than a luxury one. On the whole it?s good value for money and it does get busy a lot of the time, because it?s a busy gym it has started to look a bit tired these days. Locker doors hanging off, showers not cleaned for days (Photo of the shower cubicle with hair in?? been like that for at least three days). Hand dryer has not been working for weeks. Sink area not cleaned. Private cubicles inside the men?s locker room been out of use for months now. Some gym goers have even started to have their own locker by leaving their padlock on it and rendering it out of use even when they are not in the gym, so yes, at busy times you can struggle to get a locker. And this is just in the men?s locker room. Outside in the gym area, the water fountain is often not working properly and leaking with loose taps etc. Can?t comment on the ladies one as I don?t go in there. There used to be lots of sanitising station to wipe down the equipment after use, but PureGym have cut back on these now, Just one for the whole gym. Maybe that?s why a lot of people don?t wipe down the equipment leaving their sweaty marks all over it. There is a good mixture of people using the gym, but I would say more student ages the most. Sadly, too many people sat on machines far too long as they go through their phones looking at social media etc, it can be frustrating at busy times. Vending machines selling protein bars / drinks etc are a little on the expensive side? just pop into Superdrug opposite before you enter the gym, their protein bars are cheaper. It?s a cheap gym and comes across as that at times. It really needs a good makeover and upgrade to the facilities inside. There is a studio area for classes and are often attended quite well, so must be good. I do wish they would turn the volume down a little when the classes are on though. No need for the whole gym to hear the instructor shouting over the music to be heard. It?s £20 a month and is still good value if you use it a lot, but it really needs some attention in areas. The good thing as well is that it is open 24hrs even if there seems to be no staff more and more these days in the evening and overnight.EDIT = Okay, to follow on from my first review. A great improvement over the last few weeks, but sadly still room for more improvement.As you will see from the extra pictures, work has been done and it looks a lot better.Still can?t give full marks though. The leaking taps have been like this for MONTHS. Myself and some of my gym buddies have reported these leaking taps to at least two different staff members and they?ve still not been repaired. Why? It?s no exaggeration when I state that thousands of litres of water must have been lost through these taps. PureGym, please sort it!Also, Saturday 15th July, no hot water from the showers. Just cold water coming out all the men?s showers. So okay, things go wrong at times? BUT PUT UP A NOTICE ON THE DOOR INFORMING THE MEMBERS BEFORE A WORKOUT. SEND OUT AN EMAIL TO MEMBERS WHO HAVE IT AS THEIR HOME GYM. Informing the members about no hot water gives them an option to maybe use one of the other local gyms or put off their workout for maybe the next day.A bit of thought into this is something that I think would be appreciated by the members. It?s not rocket science!

Becoming increasingly dirty! Equipment always broken, changing room dirty and toilets disgusting. Would make sense to shut down for deep clean and stop giving out so many free sessions to people who are never going to pay to go there. Look after your regulars. Not impressed

Lack of benches and cable machines which makes it hard to get on anything. Very overcrowded. Changing rooms smell and toilets have been broken for weeks. Prices are cheap so I guess you get what you pay for.Staff are helpful!
