    This branch of the Pure Gym chain is faultless from my experiences to date. The parking is generous and has never been an issue. Entry is easy too as an 8 digit pin unique to yourself. The choice of equipment is massive and caters for all types of workouts. I've been to several gyms and felt uncomfortable in some. This doesn't have that feel to it at all. The changing area is a decent size and the showers consist of 8 individual private cubicals. None of this communial shower business you see in some places, which would put me off in itself! Overall it's a well ran establishment which is very good value for money and being a 24 hour gym, the convenience is there for all to see. I can't see myself going anywhere else.

    No other gyms in the area so had to join though I heard bad reviews about it before. Extremely busy and packed during the day and literally of no use . I couldn’t park and was too late to cancel a class! Been in touch with the gym management regarding this but and the reply was : “it is your responsibility to ensure you are arriving in time for the class. This includes leaving enough time to get parked during our busy times”

    The vertical pull and horizontal pull cable machine have been broken for well over a month. Went in recently and 2 of the 3 converging chest press machines are out of order and the 3rd one isn't even maintained properly (one handle goes back further than the other and too much slack in the cable) The only other vertical pull has a pull bar where it looks like it's going to nearly snap off because the metal has been worn down so much. 2 of the 3 rope attachments are extremely frayed. This is the most poorly maintained gym I have ever been to. PureGym are obviously putting in minimal effort to keep this place running and it's catching up to them. Now I've seen them making a response to another review about making sure people put their weights back. Well in the off-peak times when no staff is around people almost never put their weights back (it's not busy so there's so excuse) They have cameras all around and can check who these people are but they never do because I've seen the same usual suspects coming to the gym for years.

    Lovely place to workout. Me and my friends went there for months now and consistent results have been seen. It's always fun times at the GYM.

    EDIT 21.12.23: In addition to below, showers icecold for two weeks, and now not working at all. Puregym should reimburse its members, at least in part. The noise here is unbearable. I feel sorry for my ears. No chance to even listen to my own music. It's an inconsiderate youth culture here. Ok for training but the noise pollution is just nasty, meaning the volume they put that 'music' on. My own tunes over headphones don't keep the racket out. It's inconsiderate. Hence, only two stars

    Cheap price is good. But they have started closing off a weights area to run classes in when there is an empty area for classes. Most irritating is when the personal trainers turn their microphone volume full blast so the whole gym has to suffer their shouting when not doing the class

    It's okay, competitive membership fees, open 24hrs, clean, lots of choice of machines, variety of classes, clean changing rooms and free parking. Only thing I'm not keen on is the music choices and sound levels as it is difficult to hear my own music through my headphones because the studio noise is loud. If I was being picky I would say could do with light and bright decor as it's a big dark and more television screens for entertainment as you work out. Price is a key factor. If they increased prices I would join another gym or cancel.

  • 1/5 Montgomery H. 8 months ago on Google
    If I could give it zero stars I would. Almost well equipped but the staff did not care about noone putting any weights away and unlike their Wilford and Castle marina gym counterparts they clearly weren't putting everything away on an evening either. Maybe because it's 24hrs I don't know but ain't no way I'll be coming back and since it's my local puregym now will probably be the reason I leave puregym. Utter utter chaos.

    decent gym, big studio and many free weights and machines and spacious car park. however, gets very busy even during the morning and day.

  • 5/5 Fareed H. 1 year ago on Google
    It's very nice friendly staff. Nice location and parking. Music is bit loud. Please lower a bit as everyone has there own earphones. Thanks

  • 4/5 Carl S. 6 months ago on Google
    A good gym, only downside is the showers no hot water.

  • 3/5 Oli 6 months ago on Google
    Points for having a nordic curl station and rings. And overall good equipment. But it's a poor building for a gym. Low ceilings. Used to be a clothes shop. And a lot of it is carpeted which is weird for a gym.

  • 4/5 Hannah P. 1 year ago on Google
    They have a variety of different workout machines for everyone to use for any kind of workout, they have cleaning equipment, the Pure Gym app is very good as it tells you how many people are inside. There are also videos on how to use the machines. Very useful for beginners (like me)

    Inside the gym is very cold in the winter, every heater I was standing in front of it, it blows cold air and in the Summer it’s other way around as all air cons blow hot air . Since winter started I just keep getting ill in the gym as it’s really cold. No clue what they are doing. This gym getting going down hill .

  • 4/5 Kay 1 year ago on Google
    Good gym and great equipment since the refurbishment. Just wish that there was antibacterial gel to use on the way out/in of the gym.

  • 4/5 Amy L. 1 year ago on Google
    I use lots of different PureGym - love the size and variety of equipment in Notts . The downside is not really the gyms fault but the members - nothing is out away , bars left loaded and no one wipes anything down but no one challenges any of the members that do it …. It means my workout takes even longer getting set up .

  • 4/5 Fadi 1 year ago on Google
    Nice gym but gets way too packed, also i seen a spare spot in the corner next to the leg extension machine, they could really do with a hack squat machine there, not sure how to suggest that.

  • 4/5 Matthew M. 1 year ago on Google
    I wrote a review before that doesn't reflect the TLC that this place needed and has happened. New machines and a new layout has really helped this place feel a lot better as a gym. Really pleased to attend.

  • 4/5 Andrew B. 2 years ago on Google
    I used to think this was an amazing gym especially for the price but just recently things have changed. I get there same time but now I'm greeted with overflowing bins rubbish all over the floor and air conditioning that doesn't come on until I'm ready for leaving (same time everyday may i add so its nit temperature controlled). I wouldn't mind if I paid less but I pay the higher rates of membership fees. So come on Puregym what's going of? 🤔

  • 3/5 adamsky S. 1 year ago on Google
    shower - cold water 37'C I don't guess,I checked. Every employee feels like a gym owner, What to write here, a real manager should enter like a normal person and see what is going on here.

  • 4/5 Rehan R. 1 year ago on Google
    24/7 gym with lots of equipment. Staff is so friendly and cooperative. The is 2 and half hour free car park aswell.

  • 5/5 Candice A. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this gym. I've been coming here for years. The location is great and very accessible. What I love the most about this gym are the fitness classes. The classes are excellent! I love Rowan's classes as they fun and he is brilliant at keeping you motivated and entertained at the same time. All the PT's are great, very friendly and approachable and they want you to achieve your fitness goals no matter how big or small they are!!!

  • 3/5 Daniel F. 1 year ago on Google
    Good gym all round but equipment repair takes too long, bench press has been broken for nearly 2 weeks when there's only 2 benches

  • 4/5 Mia S. 2 years ago on Google
    Plenty of equipment and great classes can get over crowed at peak times but over all great gym and very sociable

  • 4/5 Marcia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Good gym, opened 24h, professional staff. The only thing I do not like, is the equipment, is old, new machines would be great.

  • 2/5 David L. 2 years ago on Google
    I've just started going to this gym and went over to a member of staff to ask where a certain machine was. I was instantly and aggressively met with "You can't be in here, I have a class", (he didn't actually have a class at that point and was just moving things around to set up). There wasn't even the manners to say hello, so not a great first impression of this gym unfortunately.
