😐 I'm a big fan of Puregym but this venue needs updating. The equipment is ok but tired, lockers need replacing as many don't seem to work properly. The shower was clogged and slow to drain water. There seemed very little cleaning being actioned by neither staff or members. This is still a good gym... People often mention equipment, good, machines, clean, staff, Great, time, workout, weights, people,

    Sill not enough equipment, weights, not enough benches despite them "looking into it". Dirty - the water fountain I know hasn't been cleaned in weeks, there is still manky bits in it that has been there for ummm a while. Loud, they always have the music blaring which for anyone is extremely annoying.

    Posting a review because the gym has been borderline unusable since the start of January, for week days between 4-9 in the evening. Of course there's the new years increase, but this is not helped by all the discounts they advertise for new people. I clocked 201 people on the app yesterday, and the gym is not big at all. They also say that it is 16+, but this is not checked, with many teenagers as low as 12 in there. The staff/PTs are all nice and helpful, and the gym itself is kept clean. However, I'm begging for some improvements. Mirrors in front of the squat racks, and by the deadlift zone. Also, mirrors for the whole of the bench section. Another bench for bar chest press. Another two sided cable machine. These could take the place of some cardio machines, or some of the less popular machines upstairs (oblique twist, or the one that works your lower back). If there's even more budget, a shoulder shrug machine wouldn't go amiss, and another leg press machine. This gym is in such a good location for me, so I'm rooting for it to get better. The automatic Puregym reply is to approach the Gym Manager or use the feedback box. Only Pts are ever there, and the feedback box does not exist. Also impossible to suggest things, as they do not reply to the Wrexham email.

    I’ve never seen a gym layout as bad as this one, makes it so uncomfortable to workout on the machines at times as they all face towards each other so you’re stuck staring at people opposite you rather than the walls where the TV’s are. Most of the equipment need a lot of maintenance as well, looks outdated compared to other gyms and it looks like they haven’t replaced any of the equipment since they’ve open as you can clearly tell by how badly worn out they are and not working smoothly as they should.

    Not enough benches or machines to cover peak periods. Been using gyms for 30 years and I have never seen a gym so over-subscribed as to have to ditch a workout. Couldn't get a bench, and people were queuing for them. Very disappointing, so membership cancelled, and searching for a new gym.

    Been a member for 8+ years but unfortunately had to cancel, due to the volume of people being let in. the gym simply isn't big enough! Ques to get in the place and Ques while your in there to use machines or benches. Move to a bigger unit!

    Good value gym, the main problem is the lack of equipment, especially during busy times. All these years and they still only have 1 bench press for the whole gym!!! they have added so many treadmills, bikes etc for cardio but don’t add any new machines/benches. Really annoying having to wait or queue for equipment all the time, there is so much space that is wasted and could have been used for more machines/weights equipment!!

    Decent gym. Variety of equipment. Car park. I really like the layout and love how there is a Zumba class. Only two squat racks and neither of them have a mirror to check form in the corner of your eye or whilst warming up (instead, you can stare at a blank wall). A mirror behind the deadlift bar would also be helpful. Hard to workout with cleaning chemical fumes, but I'm glad the machinery is kept clean and I suppose there isn't a right time to clean for a 24/7 gym.

    I used a free pass over the Christmas break. It was pretty quiet and I can see why. The gents toilet cubicle was falling over, the weights area resembled a bouncy castle, the benches are very high and unstable when using anything over 30kg, squat racks have soft flooring under foot which is off putting, and the barbells are heavy worn and strangely thick. Great gym to take selfies and tag yourself "working out" but for a decent weights workout you may well struggle.

    First session today, very clean well organised, excellent choice of equipment. I like the 24 hour access. Very very impressed.

  • 3/5 Rhys T. 1 year ago on Google
    Not signposted very well if you don't come here often. Also no music when I went so not much of an atmosphere. Very clean though and plenty of machines available

  • 4/5 Seb H. 1 year ago on Google
    A good value gym, with a good select of pretty decent equipment - I in particularly like the deadlift platform they added, although the actual bars aren't great quality, and you'll likely need to factor in time around it's availability. All-in-all, great value for money, but peak hours make for very difficult use of the weights sections and the range of equipment is somewhat limited in comparison with other gyms in the area - as to be expected for it's lower price though.

  • 4/5 Luke G. 2 years ago on Google
    Go here all the time some points of the day can be extremely busy and would avoid but the app is very useful and it tells you the busy periods but if something is damaged it stays damaged for a couple of weeks before it's fixed good use of space ti equipment but other pure gyms are bigger and better

  • 5/5 Carla W. 3 years ago on Google
    There isnt enough stars to rate this gym... first gym iv been to and the only one I will go to again staff are so friendly and helpful there is lots of stations for cleaning plenty of machines to use absolutely love it thank you to all the staff for opening and making it possible for everyone to continue to keep fit 🥰

  • 1/5 Dr. A. 2 years ago on Google
    Music for classes whyyyyy too loud for every1 else on gym lol...do you rly need to injure your ears to get good workout?

  • 4/5 Antony B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great variety of equipment. Two improvements to be made in my opinion are to include boxing equipment to add a different fitness aspect. However more importantly, provide users with a WiFi connection as the bt open doesn't work and it would ideal to have a WiFi connection in order to access fitness app videos such as Peloton.

    Do they accept under 16s does anyone know

  • 4/5 johnathon 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Gareth H. 2 years ago on Google
    Great site with great facilities. Cleaning equipment was available throughout and there was plenty of space between everything to keep it a safe environment. Actually had some equipment that my local PureGym doesn't have in Chester.

  • 5/5 Thejo J. 2 years ago on Google
    The best gym in Wrexham. Value for money membership options. Sufficient space inside and parking outside.

  • 5/5 Jason B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Gym! Train 24 hours a day. Good facilities, plenty of weight machines for all body parts. Large selection of free weights and an array of classes. Clean, tidy. Recommended.

  • 3/5 Scotty F. 1 year ago on Google
    Average gym to be honest could definitely do with some new equipment and some better machines

  • 4/5 Chloe S. 1 year ago on Google
    A good value for money gym and I really enjoy that it is 24/7! My only issue was that it is not signposted anywhere that the girls changing rooms lock between 12-3am and my belongings were locked in there, including house and car keys! Needs to be more clearly signposted, and no member of staff available to contact either! Other than that I enjoy using the gym and it’s range of equipment

  • 4/5 Tony R. 1 year ago on Google
    A clean gym, like most posts , seems like not enough benches,weights,however the machines are easy to handle and workout. The good point its 24/7 so perhaps change the workout routine to fit in with the equipment.

  • 5/5 Claire B. 8 months ago on Google
    Recently attended the Moulin Rouge Charity Event at Wrexham. Thoroughly enjoyed it! Made to feel welcome ( I attended on my own). Would definitely recommend and attend again.

  • 3/5 Razwyx. R. 7 months ago on Google
    It is a good gym but could be better, i give 3 stars because most of the time, it has bad music. As i'm going with friends, I can't use headphones, so a playlist update would be good.

  • 5/5 david o. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing value for money gym fantastic classes and all the staff are amazing. Cleaned to a very high standard.

  • 1/5 Gary J. 7 months ago on Google
    A lot of treadmills don’t work and after complaining the out of order signs have been removed but nothing has been fixed. 2 out of 3 rowing machines have been out of order for over a month

  • 3/5 Jemma E. 5 months ago on Google
    Gym itself is good and no issues with equipment. The issue is the amount of people in there at one time, can never get on the equipment without having to queue for a while. When we spoke to staff the reply was "nothing I can do it's a corporate company" so where does the corporate company stand with health and safety and fire regs? We pay the money every month and get there and can't use the equipment because of the volume of people who are just let in continuously. Surely there should be some sort of limit set?

  • 4/5 Wendy J. 5 months ago on Google
    I went for a one off session as i needed to kill time in the area. Its great that this is an option. The equipment is pretty old, and the weird personless entrance system took a bit of working out. But to be fair, even though it was busy, there were plenty of options for equipment to jump on. There was a good friendly atmosphere. I'll probably go again.

  • 1/5 April J. 5 months ago on Google
    The gym equipment isn't the best! Doesn't compare to other pure gyms they have more and better equipment especially for legs . Very poor!

  • 5/5 RAD Nasir H. 4 years ago on Google
    Best gym ever.

  • 4/5 Craig P. 4 years ago on Google
    Parking is a con

  • 4/5 Jake L. 3 years ago on Google
    Really good most the time. Visited today and most people were brilliant at tidying up, cleaning equipment after themselves but one lad truly ruined it. Keeping most equipment to himself by putting phone on one thing, towel on another etc and he didn't wipe anything after himself. He could do with watching a TV programme called the news now and again

  • 5/5 Michael F. 3 years ago on Google
    Was abit worried about going with the current COVID19 but they have provided stations for cleaning of equipment and anti bacterial hand wash around the gym and the staff are keeping these filled up

  • 5/5 Rosina S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Danny M. 4 years ago on Google
    Not a bad gym. Limited equipment when compared to some of the other gyms in the area. Main bonus is opening times.

  • 4/5 Oliver M. 4 years ago on Google
    Really good gym to be fair. Considering how busy it is, I never found myself waiting to use any equipment. Loads of machines for cardio, good variety of equipment downstairs and plenty of weights. The staff are friendly and are always cleaning/wiping down machines so it's constantly clean in here. The members are considerate and I've never seen anyone leave their weights out or put their jacket down on machines they want to use for their "super sets" (proper pet peeve of mine). B and m next door so you can get some cheap protein bars/drinks etc after a workout. Never had a problem with parking, well situated. I only left because I needed some more motivation and decided to go back to the gym I started at when I lost 4 stone (DW). If Pure had the same facilities (sauna, hot tub, pool) I wouldn't mind paying a bit extra and would definitely consider coming back. Keep up the good work.

    Brillant gym. Cheap and affordable. Good layout and the machines are easy to use

  • 4/5 Phil 4 years ago on Google
    Very impressed as a new member. The variety of equipment is great and everywhere is clean and well maintained. The only negative comments I have really is the showers are to hot and their is an air conditioning machine in the male changing rooms but it is never on so it is impossible to cool down in the changing rooms as you can't escape the heat.
