    Great gym not to busy with lots of equipment. Better than my bury old road gym.

    They've expanded the ladies section a little which is great. I wish the whole upstairs was for ladies only but better than nothing. The only downfall is the entrance which is just so uncomfortable to walk through. I wish they had a different entry for modesty reasons.

    The fact that he corrected me when I wasn't his client, made me choose him as a trainer. And I'm glad I did, he pushes me when I think I can't do another rep and I get 2-3 more with his help, ( the most important ones) and that's what you want from a real trainer, right? to help you overcome the limits you think you have. I highly recommend Matthew for someone who is serious about getting the best of them in the gym.

    Great location, it's a good gym and good facilities. There's clean stationery where you can get tissues, spray to clean the equipment before and after using to prevent the spread of corona. Great staff and if there any problems you can always speak with staff. They will be happy to help with you on any issues within the gym. There's ladies section at the second floors which its great for women who are comfortable to use without having men around except the staff (for health and safety inspection).

    Have been to this gym for a couple of years. Now more than ever, it's failed itself and its members. Before it was merely a lack of equipment in contrast to the cardio machines and sometimes lack of room under peak times. Now with its recent refurbishment, it truly went down the toilet mixed with all the nasty - the refurbishment was a very nice call and change that was expected and welcomed with open arms. What wasn't, however, was the removal of bars with central knurlings. All replaced with more thin bars that are good for deadlifting and curling, if even that. Anything else is a danger zone. Those bars coupled with no central knurling and the people that will squat and bench, is an accident truly waiting to happen. Soon as the people push hard enough for some intensity, that bar will fail them. It will slip off their hands and back. Any seasoned lifter of limited or broad experience can tell you as such. Makes no sense to have done this nor putting people in potential danger due to a lack of good management and maybe less spending of equipment. Some may not see the difference in the previous bars being more thick and stiff. It will become apparent when these factors are put in to heavy lifting - an inevitable thing to happen. Steer far clear of these bars and maybe even the gym. Cardio and mediocre machines are all that is left. Not much room for improvement when the charge is the same for places slightly further away that give much better gym experience for all lifting types. The only good thing that comes from this is the 24-hour access and nice community (be it they are uncouth in handling gym equipment, leaving everything in the wrong place all the time). I have definitely enjoyed my time here but after my membership I will call it quits unless some good changes come and not some attempt to make everything look clean and pristine when the inner is made up of what isn't needed, useless apparatus'.

    This gym is very small compared to other pure gyms with very limited machines and equipments. It’s was only 9pm when I visited the place. Couldn’t find a single staff on gym floor, no water station on the bottom floor and to use the toilet you need to go all the way to the top floor. Therefore I’m rating this place 2/5.

    Had Kira as a pt since last November. We always have a laugh during sessions even though she pushes me to achieve my goal. Goes above and beyond with our group pt sessions treating us to homemade cakepop and ginger shots. Have already achieved so much. Couldn’t ask for a better PT !xx

    I Love all of Ian's classes I've just done his body tone class and I'm wiped out! I always leave feeling so much better!! 😅 he is for sure the best PT in pure gym! 🙌🏼 he goes through every single exercise with us all and does them with us!! And keeps us all hyped up and motivated! I wish he did more classes! I really don't know where he gets his energy from! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The equipments are quite limited and there is a wait to use them. Sometimes the water tank is not in use, majority of time. The machine which is used for finding the body health report. Not available from a long time. There is a paid machine in upstairs where you have to pay in coins. No card payment service. Majority of times, the staff is unavailable. Ratings: 3/5

    Previous member before lockdown so rejoined, but a lot of the cardio equipment has been replaced with weights. I wanted cardio workout for health reasons but sadly the required equipment is now not there. Will be cancelling membership and joining my local jd gym

    I've seen quite a few improvements recently with cleaning and tidying and sorting equipment. I'm a regular here and all the staff n people around are friendly. Music still sucks hahaha

    First session back in the gym after going through treatment for cancer (chemotherapy). Great session to get my day going

  • 5/5 Feiruz A. 5 months ago on Google
    Great classes all round. The reason I attend the gym especially when it’s Ian and Martin classes! Will definitely recommend a visit to this gym. The ladies section full of equipment to train to the fullest.

    Good place to workout. Ladies area now has more equipment. Bigger variety of weight training equipment. Place smells awful but you can get your workout in.

  • 4/5 keith l. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean and tidy gym. Lots of people in when I went. No one bothered me and I was left to it. Few machines out of order but didn't impact my session

  • 4/5 Fahimur 6 years ago on Google
    The weights aren't put back but you can't blame the staff for that as they try their best to meet the place clean (it is clean just the weight are not in the correct place). The staff are helpful and non intrusive. The equipment is decent and there are enough to go around even during the busiest of times. Edit: Pictures taken on 17/02/2018 at 23:00

    I’ve been going to this gym for almost 7ish years and I’ve loved every moment of it. I tend to not go at busy times but it truly is a fantastic gym. The only negative is that the gym members are pigs who leave equipment lying around after evenings and it’s like that till morning. They do respond to feedbacks and I very much appreciate that. Hope to continue going here for many years to come and hopefully they expand in gym size.

    Brilliant gym, works really well for schedule and they have all the equipment that i will ever use, warm friendly and make new friends in process lovely!

  • 1/5 Yusuf A. 1 year ago on Google
    I don't like the new layout of them gym. There are not enough Cardio exercise machines (e.g Threadmills) on the ground floor, which have been removed with new layout. Also the machine for lower back workout has been removed which I'm not very about. I have a troubled lower back which i have to workout to avoid back pain. I have realised few exercise machines wobble, has play and gets stuck when being used. Also buttons on Cardio machines are faulty. I hope management take note and fix the issues.

    Perfect in every way. Wow what a great job you have done on the refurbishment. The ladies only gym area is outstanding. Hayes in London need to take a lot of tips from your branch to improve their branch.

    I was struggling to incorporate weight training into my sessions, with predominantly engaging in cardiovascular exercises. Thus, I wasn’t progressing as well as I could be. That’s where Matty Q came in and helped make a positive difference in my fitness journey. He is an exceptional personal trainer with a comprehensive understanding of fitness principles. His expertise and motivational approach is significantly contributing to achieving my fitness goals. Results speaks volumes and significant results is what you’ll get working with Matty! His high energy, nutritional knowledge, quality workout plans, detailed explanations of exercises and constant encouragement, creates an ideal learning and growth environment. I know exactly what I am doing and why I am doing it, whilst having fun thanks to Matty. I highly recommend for anyone seeking a dedicated and energetic professional to enhance their fitness journey.

    I can't say enough positive things about my personal trainer. Working with Matty has turned my fitness journey into an incredibly enjoyable experience. From day one, Matty made me feel completely at ease. His friendly demeanor and approachability create an environment where I feel comfortable trying new exercises and pushing my limits. The laughter we share during our sessions not only makes the workouts more enjoyable but also helps alleviate any initial apprehensions I had about the gym. Matty has a remarkable ability to balance professionalism with a sense of humor. It's clear that he take his job seriously, ensuring each workout is effective and tailored to my goals. Yet, the friendly banter and shared laughs make the sessions feel like much more than just a workout. He has transformed my exercise from something I once found intimidating to an activity I genuinely look forward to.

    Pure gym is great, amazing facilities, and great environment with friendly staff. I PT with Matt who is a legend, he really does care and go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals, he takes a interest in you no matter what fitness level you’re at. I really like how he give me tips and tricks to get the most out of every workout. Your not just working out your having a good laugh too he really does cheer you up and gives you more energy. I’ve been training for a little bit and am already seeing a big change in my energy levels and body. It’s great! I feel 10 years younger lol the overall vibe is great. I definitely recommend him to my friends and family ☺️

    Really enjoying my time training with Matty Q the PT here at PureGym Oldham. I started off coming to the gym on my own and Matty approached me, I didn’t feel pressured and was offered a couple of free sessions to see if our training styles are a fit. I’ve been training with Matty now for 3 and a half months and my confidence has built so much and I feel stronger. Each session feels like training with a friend, Matty is super chatty and professional. He makes sure to push me to my potential whilst keeping in mind my physical limits. He always checks in and shares so much knowledge about nutrition and women’s health and how it can impact your training. If you’re considering joining this gym, I 100% recommend Matty. The gym is clean and friendly and the other PTs are also very welcoming.

    There’s a lot of external factors such as health conditions , side effects of medication and past history of ED made me put on a lot of weight which is why I struggle with my body a lot and was terrified of gym and how people would view me. Then I came across Rima who is literally everything I needed. She is such an amazing pt and person honestly she’s been so helpful. She helped me with my confidence and is always supportive. She helped me understand my body better. Because of her help and dedication to her clients I’ve finally seen difference in my weight (which I thought was impossible). She’s always very friendly and approachable and goes an extra mile for everyone. She doesn’t treat her clients like it’s just a job that she’s doing for the sake of it, she’s actually very dedicated to her work and cause and actually wants to and tries to make a difference in peoples lives. I don’t think I would be coming to gym at all if it wasn’t for her, because I did join a while ago felt uncomfortable and left after few weeks and then this time around I met Rima and months later I’m still here. She sees potential in people even when they can’t see it themselves. She’s always pushing me to do my best and motivates me. Honestly she’s literally just the best !!!!

    Matty was my PT for my first few sessions here and was so motivating both inside and outside the gym. Not only did he make me feel comfortable using the machines for the first time he made training seem fun !! His passion and charisma has really encouraged me to not give up on my fitness journey.

    I started at PureGym Oldham in September and so far I’m loving my journey. The staff are all very friendly and approachable. I went to classes, mainly with Mickel and Matty. They make them enjoyable. Matty’s classes are always upbeat and genuinely kill you off 😂. Martins circuit classes are also fab. I have now started my PT journey with Matty and loving it. He motivates me and pushes me to smash my PBs. Loving PureGym Oldham so far!
