    I have a friend who has went here and has complained about guys harassing her, from a staff member recording her to another guy even trying to follow her home. It’s sad when you find a gym that has the equipment you like but the management can’t do the bare minimum of ensuring the clients that fund their business feel safe. If you’re a female, beware of this gym and take extra precaution when leaving.

    A male MEMBER OF STAFF has been reported recording women on his phone by multiple gym goers. Also staring and generally harassing women while they workout. Absolutely disgusting behaviour that should have been noticed and dealt with a long time ago. If you're a decent person, do not support this gym till they sort their staff out.

    The fact that you allow a male EMPLOYEE to work in your facility, after reports of him taking pictures and recording WOMEN working out at the gym is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. how are women supposed to workout comfortably under your roof when they can’t even do anything without being recorded by the people that work there? who are they supposed to go to for their safety at the gym? what if it was another gym goer that approached and harassed them? how can they feel comfortable reporting these issues to staff that are also HARASSING them? Absolutely DISGUSTING.

    The location is great, it has all the essentials.but....how can you not have WiFI in the gym?? Moreover, there is really bad connection for mobile data, I'm really confused how this has been an ongoing issue and no one is in charge of that. Also would be great if there was a bigger variety of classes. It's all very repetitive.

    Very stuffy and humid gym with no air conditioning, with no air circulation it's an ideal hot spot for covid. Plenty of equipment that l normally use is now out of order even the weighing machines in the toilets, they take the money but don't do what they are supposed to. Cleaning is a hit or miss with the changing rooms in need of a good sweeping and the floor bleaching. If you send an email or send a message to the gym no one cares enough to reply, l think it's time to move from this gym and try somewhere else.

    Location is great, smack bang in the middle glasgow. Gym itself nice and compact with quite few decent bits of equipment around, as well as being clean and tidy. As only second time visiting this location I still managed to get lost in the building!! Maybe a few more directional markers for first (and second) timers.

    Great gym and excellent staff 👍 BUT....for at least a fortnight now the spin studio has been hot to the point that it ruins the classes. I don't know if the aircon is broken or what but I've complained to two members of staff and still there studio is far too hot, also the WiFi has been broken for months 🤷‍♀️

    Being going to this gym on & off since it first opened but persistently for the past 2 years. I love it to be honest. I always feel very relaxed & at home there & for it being smaller than bath street I feel less overwhelmed at hope street. The staff I’ve spoke to past & present have always been lovely. Would love to see a second leg press machine on the ground floor tho & possible a 3rd/4th stair-master but spacing wise I get why this may not be possible. Overall if you want to just come in & get stuck in hassle free this is definitely the place.

  • 5/5 C L. 5 years ago on Google
    Great gym. Very handy for working in the town.

  • 3/5 Naiomi T. 5 years ago on Google
    Was simply too busy, couldn’t get on the equipment. At quieter times it was good.

  • 4/5 rghh2006 5 years ago on Google
    Can be really busy in the mornings, so bit cramped in the changing rooms.

  • 1/5 Rachel W. 5 years ago on Google
    Showers are disgusting here. Hair everywhere. I'm quitting this gym.

  • 5/5 wakas a. 5 years ago on Google
    Had a good workout here, lots of space throughout the two floors and a good location in the heart of Glasgow.

  • 4/5 rza k. 5 years ago on Google
    This place has the potential to be fantastic for the price that you pay, all the equipment you could possibly need and more. Yes it does get very busy at times, but you should have a degree of flexibility with your workouts, I don't HAVE to do chest, could easily turn it into an abs or cardio day if necessary. You could never blame this place for not getting in shape, if you don't then that's your fault, simple as. Here's the BUT though, the showers are bloody minging, I've left comment cards, I've left feedback on the puregym website where they state they'll get back to me within 24hrs, never heard a thing. When you're sweaty and need to freshen up it's annoying to find literally every shower caked in sock fluff and pubes. I was a member at Stirling pure gym for 6 months and it was never an issue, I understand you guys are way busier but it's no excuse at all. One blip in an otherwise faultless facility

  • 3/5 Petros 2 years ago on Google
    I only use the rowing machine. Only 2 out the 6 rowers I had to try worked. The others either had no battery power or damaged footplates. Unfortunately, this is pretty standard from the Pure gyms I've tried.

  • 4/5 Corey S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good gym in a great location. Can get busy in peak times but to be expected.

  • 5/5 Music R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing location and inside of the gym is so big and satisfying equipment and stuff.

  • 3/5 Elakes N. 5 months ago on Google
    The proximity to a central stop is great for my attendance when I don't have to drive. It's spacious with loads of equipment to run with.

  • 5/5 A C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym overall. Unbeatable price for off-peak hours.

  • 5/5 Rory B. 3 years ago on Google
    Honestly the only complaint I have is how often I have to press the button in the shower to keep it going! Other than that perfect. Very friendly and helpful staff who took excellent care of me when I lost my padlock for a locker. Clean and hygienic, as well as staff in full PPE and well stocked cleaning stations. Absolutely fantastic.

  • 5/5 Rooster 2 years ago on Google
    Really good building, tried it out as moving here next month for uni and will definitely be back. It can get a little stuffy but very well spaced out and great equipment

  • 5/5 jezzaftw 5 months ago on Google
    Compared to other local gyms this gym has far more equipment and facillities. Theres more plates, a greater variety of machines and more of the popular machines, meaning faster a workout. There are water fountains everywhere which IS really nice. Nobody wants to cross the whole gym for a drink of water. There are vending machines but given the location if thé gym theyre very expensive, theres liké 3 tescos within a 5 min radius of the gym which sell most of the same products at half the Price of the vending machine. Thé staff IS very nice and polite and the facillities are Always kept clean. Although the tables and chairs near the entrance could be cleaned more often

  • 5/5 alan k. 1 year ago on Google
    Always been a good gym but the cleanliness over the last 12 months was sometimes not at the level it should have been. However what a difference recently. I’m in the gym most days and the difference is incredible. Well done PureGym Hope street it’s hasn’t gone unnoticed.

  • 5/5 Lawrence Z. 5 years ago on Google
    Good equipment not as busy as bath street

  • 5/5 Julien D. 1 year ago on Google
    I think this is the cleanest and coolest Pure Gym I have tried so far. I wish the one near my place was that good ;)

  • 5/5 Mark R. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent gym over 3 levels Loads free weights and machines. Pre workout and protein available via vending machine . Fully recommend for bodybuilding

  • 5/5 Amateur_ A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great fun, hard working classes, fun staff, plenty of things you can do at any time if you're flexible.

  • 5/5 Phil N. 1 year ago on Google
    A gym, no posing, just a good value gym with helpful staff! Plenty of cleaning stations which I still use. Very quiet around 9am which suits me, no waiting for equipment 😁

  • 5/5 Viktor G. 1 year ago on Google
    Well equipped spacious gym, friendly staff! I like their functional App it's a real support

  • 5/5 Caterina B. 11 months ago on Google
    I've been a member of this gym for years. The facilities are good, and especially the spin classes on weekend days are what keep me coming back! Many gyms don't offer cycle classes or have just a couple of sessions in the week, so I find the options at PureGym to be the best. I really enjoy the cycle classes with both Lorna and Christina who are full of energy and enthusiasm. Kudos to them for keeping me motivated every weekend.

  • 4/5 gordon m. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a nice little gym emphasis on the little it's very claustrophobic compared to other pure gym locations however the staff are friendly and helpful and it's nice and clean all machines working one thing I can say tho is a better layout plan as I find my self running from top to bottom for my workouts to reach necessary equipment

  • 4/5 Kirsty B. 4 years ago on Google
    Seems like a small gym but always plenty of equipment and good facilities

  • 3/5 Phil R. 4 years ago on Google
    This gym is in a great central location, and the staff are lovely. It’s just a pity the men’s changing rooms are too small, they’re filthy and most of the lockers are broken - if it was maintained to a better standard, then it’s the ideal gym for the price.

  • 2/5 Jen S. 4 years ago on Google
    Disappointed so far. Lockers don't lock in the ladies changing rooms, was informed my own padlock was at fault for this not the lockers themselves.... tried to buy one of their padlocks only for there to be none available. Not really prepared to run the risk of having my belongings stolen for the sake of a treadmill.

  • 4/5 Michael N. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent gym!

  • 4/5 Bridey86 4 years ago on Google
    Good gym handy for city centre but equipment is mostly laying all over the place and you have to hunt for what you're looking for as it's very rarely in its place.

  • 4/5 Cameron S. 4 years ago on Google
    Heavy weights.

  • 5/5 Fraser S. 4 years ago on Google
    Great city centre gym good equitment and good staff. The PT John is really helpful

  • 1/5 donald k. 4 years ago on Google
    I'm a member of Glasgow PureGym. Gym equipment & staff are good....... However.......the gyms hygiene/cleanliness is VERY POOR. There are NO antibacterial/cleaning sprays or cleaning paper near the equipment or on site. They are signs around saying "wipe down equipment after use" - What with????? - your sweaty towel that would be use to ingrain/spread any contamination? - Perfect breeding ground for viruses. Changing rooms/showers are also not clean - Perfect breeding ground for viruses This is Critical to get proper cleaning equipment for member to use on site.

  • 5/5 Gordon b. 5 years ago on Google
    Open 24/7 seven days a week staff are approachable and always willing to give you informed choices equipment great and there is various classes on every day which are free would recommend this gym ?

  • 5/5 Oscar J. 4 years ago on Google
    Not the best in form of equipmemt. Lacking a few things. But willing to give it 5 stars anyway because of how great and friendly the management is. Reminds me of a small local gym. I got the plus and workout regularly at both Hope Street and Bath Street as I pass both to work. But every time I go Bath Street I end up regretting. Go Hope Street Pure Gym. Never Bath Street

  • 2/5 Imran C. 3 years ago on Google
    Too rushy not comfortable

  • 5/5 Sunny T. 4 years ago on Google
    The smallest of the PUREGYM in Glasgow, but still Good....

  • 1/5 Craig H. 4 years ago on Google
    Small gym with tired old equipment not worth the monthly fee. Could learn from JD maryhill & sports direct

  • 2/5 Achan960 G. 4 years ago on Google
    Equipment is new but filthy and sticky. Ladies showers were freezing cold. After chasing up manager, her excuse was that the boilers were not switched on. How can the boilers not be switched on for a 24/7 gym?????

  • 5/5 Liam R. 4 years ago on Google
    Brilliant gym, all equipment is good and loads of squat racks

  • 4/5 Dragostin H. 4 years ago on Google
    Only 2 benches. Other than that its quite spacious

  • 4/5 Nicki R. 5 years ago on Google
    Very good facility. Multi storage with various equipment on each floor. A good range of different equipment for different needs. Open 24/7 so I was there late, which meant plenty of room for equipment. Only downside was the stand alone deadlift platform, rubber matting is old and used (maybe not built properly) - this means the weights sink down a bit. Otherwise nice and clean facility!

  • 2/5 Sergio C. 4 years ago on Google
    I had a bad experience at this gym. I gave the place two stars cause the equipment is decent, and the facility is okay but the place has a bad vibe. I am visiting from out of town, and there does not appear to be one person who works at the gym. So I look around see two kiosks and figure out that it’s a automated system. I pay my money, Enter a code into a door the door on the right doesn’t open, but the door on the left does I walk in, and this guy with red hair gets in my physical space and says what are you doing? I say I am here to workout. He gets close to the point of accosting me and I say “Do you work here.” He stutters a bit and says I am a personal trainer here. I show him the email with the receipt, explain to him that I entered to code, show him the time on the email “just a minute ago” and he confirms to accost me and says enter the code again. At this point I am annoyed but enter the code again the door opens. The guy looks at me weird and I say to him, dude I am not trying to work out for free. The guy starts to say something looking confused and I just said “Whatever.” Not the most motivating way to start my workout. I felt like the dude was in my personal, physical space and accusing me of stealing. I won’t be working out here again, and I suggest the place gets more competent staff.

  • 1/5 Steve R. 4 years ago on Google
    Far too small a gym, 1 leg press machine. Changing rooms are always too hot. Avoid at all cost. JD maryhill is a 1st class gym

  • 4/5 M G. 4 years ago on Google
    Good facilities, cost could be better on a monthly basis

  • 3/5 Jason T. 4 years ago on Google
    As expected it's usually really busy. Sometimes you won't be able to get a bench. I've never been able to get a squat rack during the week but I usually go at peak times.

  • 5/5 Charlie L. 5 years ago on Google
    brilliant gym and really covenient

  • 1/5 Dorian H. 5 years ago on Google
    Was so busy when I went in for my day pass could hardly get on the kit. Changing rooms were mobbed and lots of hair in the shower drains. No staff available to show me around and had issues with my pin

  • 4/5 Tayyab K. 5 years ago on Google
