    I have used this gym for a number of years. Very spacious gym with lots of equipment. Very friendly and professional staff but for the love of god please sort the air conditioning out. It's unbearable in the hot weather. UPDATE: It's not a matter of the management overriding the system. The management on site are well aware of the issue. I have been informed by the assistant manager that the whole company is behind schedule servicing the AC. This is a maintenance issue and urgently requires action from head office otherwise people will go elsewhere.

    I couldn't agree more with the sentiments expressed in the previous review regarding the bike rack at our local gym. As a regular gym-goer and an advocate for sustainable transportation, I was excited to see that my local gym had a bike rack. However, my recent experience using this bike rack has left me thoroughly frustrated, especially as the rainy season is approaching. One of the most glaring issues is the complete lack of rain protection for the bike rack. Living in a region with unpredictable weather, it's astonishing that the gym hasn't invested in a simple shelter or covering for the bike rack. As we all know, rainy days can catch us off guard, and returning to a soaked bicycle after a strenuous workout is far from ideal. Furthermore, during peak gym hours, the bike rack is consistently full. This overcrowding issue has become a recurring problem, making it incredibly inconvenient for cyclists like myself who rely on biking as a means of transportation to and from the gym. It's frustrating to arrive at the gym, only to find that there is no available space to secure my bike safely. In order to enhance the overall experience for cyclists, the gym should seriously consider expanding its bike rack capacity. This would not only ensure that cyclists have a reliable place to park their bikes but also encourage more people to choose sustainable transportation options. In conclusion, while I appreciate the gym's efforts to accommodate cyclists, there are significant improvements that need to be made. Providing rain protection for the bike rack and addressing the issue of overcrowding during peak hours would go a long way in making the gym more cyclist-friendly. Until these improvements are made, I would advise fellow cyclists to explore alternative parking options or be prepared for the inconvenience of dealing with a less-than-ideal bike rack situation at this gym.

    Quite sad to see such ample parking yet the PT that constantly parks in a disabled bay and never displays one he/she ought to be ashamed of their selfs. Reg LX65 HLM

    Good number of equipment, clean changing room. However for a sports venue, the bike parking area is notably inadequate compared to the ample car park. Enhancements could involve increasing the number of spaces and providing weather protection for the bikes.

    There is plenty of equipment there but the AC is not coping with summer weather at all (and we didn't cross even 30 degrees outside this year yet), even with little people in the gym it feels like a sauna, and when it is full it is impossible to exercise there. Avoid in summer.

    They need to fix or improve the gym Aircon. Opening a door in summer isn't going to fix the problem. I'm all for getting a sweat on for my workout but I sweat just being inside the gym. This is a problem... not a feature. Edit: you're automated response does not fill me with confidence. Based on the reviews regarding this the past 2 years on this gyms aircon issues, this you should already have been fixed. Can you do a better a job reviewing complaints please.

    Management lie every year about the A/C being fixed, it’s never been fixed, it’s never been booked in for a repair. They don’t want to pay. There’s plenty of other budget gyms nearby that have great A/C, don’t bother here.

    Great big gym. We go after work about 4pm and it's perfect time. Starts to get busy about 5:30pm. Lots of up to date equipment and lots of availability on machines and weights unlike other gyms. We switched to this gym from eccles as the size is so much bigger and better. Very welcoming.

    Very open spaced gym. Accessible with your pin code or you can now buy a fob from the pure gym app which is a lot easier and quicker to use. Ladies changing room is upstairs. I prefer to use the locker section just near the entrance on the lower floor. Equipment is great and the gym its self has a great feel when working out. Music is at a nice volume setting so you can still hear yourself think. A few cleaning stations, to clean the equipment after use. Would definitely recommend this gym.

    Everything’s good, except for AC and ventilation. The place feels suffocating and like a sauna now a days. Last year too the AC wasn’t functioning for a long time.

    I asked for refund and received irrelevant answer. Nobody is there to help me. I wonder how this business is still up with lack of professional customer service. Is there anybody who even care about helping me decently with a phone number or chat, I don’t like to wait too long for a small enquiry.

    The gym is quite big and spacious. If it wasn’t for PT, I wouldn’t use this gym as a regular gym - the air con regularly breaks and takes month to fix, they don’t tend to replace weights or old equipment etc, it doesn’t look like they invest that much into improving the gym. Most recently, they’ve removed the sanitising stations probably which is very unhygienic and it should be a basic necessity at the gym.. I’m pretty sure Covid demonstrated how important it is to regularly sanitise and keep stations clean. Another poor ‘cost saving’ move which I’m sure will be explained away as moving back to pre-Covid. If you want a clean, hygienic and safe place to workout then this gym isn’t for you. The standard PureGym copy and paste response isn’t needed thank you. It doesn’t help anyone and it doesn’t get anything resolved.

  • 1/5 Shani O. 9 months ago on Google
    No air con 2 summers in a row, no timeline to repair, same old copy and paste to all members.. To make matters worse, all sanitising and tissue stations have now been removed...why now when there is no air con?! Now people are unable to clean their areas with all the sweat left because of the lack of air con. Has become unbearable and will be leaving at the end of my next payment cycle.

    Working in Manchester for a few weeks and decided to join pure gym, it was so so easy and extremely reasonable. The gym itself is huge and very clean. People also keep there distance which is good. If you're in the area go and have a look.

  • 1/5 Jared B. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst gym in Manchester that I’ve been to for harassment by men. Whilst the facilities are good, the “safe space” commitment lacks. Unfortunately this place is full of men who take pictures of you training, follow you into changing rooms daily to watch you get dressed and feel they can approach you whilst training. Complaints to gym staff multiple times weren’t acted on so I’ve cancelled. Find elsewhere to train, there are better gyms in Manchester.

    LGBTQ+ Friendly 💜🌈 Large, friendly gym. All staff are welcoming and inclusive Recommend Jonny for boxing based PT - great coach 👌🏻 I had a threatening experience of transphobia by a hench 6ft moron, but I walked away and have avoided him since. Now I know how nice the staff are, I wished I'd reported it at the time so the guy didn't get away with it 🙄

  • 4/5 William A. 10 months ago on Google
    I'd like to reiterate what all the other recent reviews are saying. I really like this gym, the equipment, size, atmosphere etc is all great. However the lack of aircon makes it really unbearable in the summer. I also remember it not working last year and a sign saying it would be fixed but that was a year ago. I see lots of people are making the same point in reviews and the stock response doesn't seem helpful. It's very obvious it's too hot in there, everyone is drenched in sweat. Please can it be fixed as I can't keep going if it's going to be that hot

  • 1/5 Daiana B. 8 months ago on Google
    No wifi, not enough equipment not air conditioner but prices keep going up. Update: there is no need to approach the manager or leave feedback in the suggestions box, everyone knows that air conditioner and wifi doesn’t work. I have also send and email a few months ago and recibe and received a response saying that Puregym was “working on it”

  • 3/5 WUHAO C. 10 months ago on Google
    Overall, I really like this gym and have been a loyal member for a while. However, during my visit from 9 pm to 12 pm, I was disappointed by the unusually high temperature inside. It made the workout environment uncomfortable and challenging to exercise in. however, it used to be cool and comfortable at this time one week before🥲.I kindly request the management to address this issue promptly, as it detracted from an otherwise positive gym experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  • 3/5 Joe M. 10 months ago on Google
    Used to be a good Gym, now has treadmills that don't increase in speeds and no air conditioning. Like a sauna at times. I'd avoid.

  • 3/5 Clive F. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent gym, few broken bits of kit. could do with the staff & gym goers to return the kit and put it in the right spot. spent a lot of time looking for kit.

  • 5/5 Phillip Peter “The Dark Nemesis” M. 8 months ago on Google
    Spacious, clean, well maintained. With so much free space, would you consider investing in a seated calf raise machine? Thanks Phil.

  • 5/5 IAN K. 5 months ago on Google
    Nice gym plenty of room and equipment would recommend

  • 1/5 F C. 6 months ago on Google
    What an absolute hole. Changing room reeks of excrement, weights everywhere, not enough handles for all the cable machines, cold showers (it’s October and 9 degrees outside!). Coming to this gym makes me cancel my gym membership, I’d rather pay as you go somewhere else. Imagine if this was your local gym and this was how you started your day everyday. Shocking

  • 5/5 Rubina C. 1 year ago on Google
    Big and spacious. People leave you alone to get on with your exercise. Having said that though, I avoid peak times like a plague 🤷‍♀️

  • 5/5 Storm K. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely gym quiet ( well when I go early hours) lovely staff at night , guys and gals do leave the weights all over the place but other than that it's a nice gym with so much to do , free parking for 2.5 hours ( advises to register car for extra time but there is no machine ?)
