    Been going this gym for a while now swapped from the gym group as it was over crowded and forever waiting for machines. Pure gym has great classes for all, easy access to gym, plenty of parking, clean and covid cleanliness was kept to a high standard. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because there is no space for people who are not confident doing certain exercises infront of groups of members.

    Weakest gym in the local area for gym equipment and overall product. Sadly it toils with a difficult floor layout. Gym kit is retro matrix variations and split between two floors. The freeweights is half man cave with cardio kit facing a KFC drive thru. One positive. It's one of the few gyms in the area open on Christmas day.

    ALWAYS ABSOLUTELY RAMMED!!!! USED TO BE OK A FEW YEARS AGO, NOW YOU NEED TO PLAN AN EXTRA HOUR FOR ALL THE WAITING ROUND YOU DO. THIS IS OFF PEAK TIMES AS WELL AS I WORK NIGHTS SO I DREAD TO THINK WHAT THE PEAK TIMES ARE LIKE….. They’re still going round the whole of Aintree putting flyers through doors trying to get more people to join as well

    Been going for around 10 years, no thrills gym with a friendly atmosphere. Only downside can be big groups of lads who must be insecure to go a gym on their own.

    I visit a few different pure gyms depending on where I'm working and here are a few downsides some major in my eyes. 1, never managed a warm shower here 2, steroid needle box in the changing rooms 3, occasionally needles left around 4, dirty chewing gum squeezed onto the detachable handles of the smith machines. 5, many of the cardio items are often out of use and they dont have many to start with.

    This is my first time in Aintree, and my first time using this gym. I decided to keep my review short as it is very unlikely that any changes are going to be made based on what I say...and let us not forget, "Reviews Are Not Verified." (as it says on Google) which means a counter arguement can be made to any negative criticism. The layout, and the look of the gym is nice...as you walk in, the presentation is decent with lots of space, weights and equipment. So Why "Two Stars?" Well, the Men's Changing Room is VERY underwhelming and disappointing. You can attempt to use the showers, but you will get the feeling (before you do) that your not going to get clean...and the water is cold! Zero temperature. (Almost) I also checked the disabled bathroom and even though it is much cleaner than the Men's changing room, the water there is cold too! If the water was hot here, I would have given "Three Stars" because at least it is something, right? See, I am not a bad guy. 🎩 You can not provide a shower facility that members pay for every month but in fact, cannot use. This is called, "a disservice." If a new and decent shower facility is too expensive to install, then members should be paying LESS every month for Aintree Pure Gym untill this can get fixed. Sounds fair? I think it does... My home gym is in Northampton, and the shower facility there is excellent! Don't believe me? :) Check it out, and see for yourself. 🦜 Thanks for reading.

    Love the new refit and design in the gym with more equipment and new equipment! A suggestion would be full length mirrors in the changing rooms and for it to be made more obvious as to if the studio room is in use or not.

  • 3/5 Anthony K. 1 year ago on Google
    Disappointed, after the refurb , the morning(6.30-7.15 am) pump and circuit classes have changed, these classes were full every morning! I’ve gone from training 6 times a week to 3. Assistant manager said they will be back on but no change. I can only train early mornings so not happy.

  • 2/5 Ben T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym with a huge set of equipment to choose from, I love how there are 4 squat racks available (which are always very popular). I would give it 3 stars, maybe even 4 if there was a free standing bar which allowed for calisthenics, and if people (not everyone) would put their weights away, I've recently seen staff at the gym get a load of equipment out, move benches around, load up the weight, and leave their mess everywhere for someone else to sort out, they should be setting an example for their client, especially seeing as thats their place of work and there are signs warning the termination of membership if such a rule isn't followed.

    Amazing.. big place, chilled air inside, friendly and helpfull staff, plenty of machines, Open 24/7 and Free parking. Had some issues with my membership but the members of staff here were very helpful and they sorted my issue in a matter of minutes. Very convenient for students as well, the monthly price is bargain compared to other gyms. Using mostly Matryx type machines. Very happy about finding this place.

    Great place to work out at the app is very good as well because if you are new to the gym and don't really know what to do it has preset workouts for you to try

  • 1/5 dead b. 4 years ago on Google
    Always about 6 staff members on shift. None of the weights are ever in the right place. The staff only move to do personal training sessions for extra money but apart from that they sit drinking coffee and eating fast food all day while every pair of dumbbells are on opposite sides of the room to eachother. This gym could be awesome with such a large team. I don't like to work out near the table they sit at. Feel self conscious doing so.

    Friendly staff, clean gym Moved from total fitness just down the road, have to say it does seem much better value and I have access to their other gyms across the country It is a bit ridiculous how for 2 years there is constantly a shortage of cable clips though. Management should just buy a 50 pack - so often equipment is free but unusable because no clips. Also cable ropes are probably older than me, generally a lot of the cable equipment just needs some updates

    First time here tonight. Signed up initially as I'd heard good things and prefer to plan my visits when its quiet and out of hours. I love that I can track live capacity on the app. Found my new gym home 😊

  • 3/5 Atoyebi D. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice gym and decent equipment available for most workout

  • 4/5 Charlie 1 year ago on Google
    Decent gym, lots of equipment, good space and place to get to. However, if there's a class on you can hear the music and instructor all throughout the gym and your ear phones. There isn't a single bar to pull up on suitable for my height (6ft4), where I can freely dangle from without being completely stood up, even on the large central rack frame. The lightings good though, not too aggressive like other gyms! Ideal because I train in the late evenings.

  • 2/5 Benjamin P. 1 year ago on Google
    I use a handful of puregyms and this is by far one of the least hygenic ones. The bathrooms stink of urine, the showers have black dirt (could be mould) all over the floor. about a foot around all the fixings. So it looks like they've been cleaned but only with the most minimum of effort. Half the locks are broken. The water doesn't maintain a temperature. Half of the vending machines are out of order. This gym just looks like it is not maintained at all. The 2nd star is because all the weights I needed could be found, so credit to those who sort that out.

  • 4/5 Thomas M. 1 year ago on Google
    Only starting goin yesterday as I thought its time to sort myself out It seems to have everything you need in a gym only used a couple of machines upto now and all really good So far so good

  • 3/5 M J. 1 year ago on Google
    Good gym a bit busy and in beed of small refurbishment e.g. more lighting would be nice as it’s quite dark in the whole gym. The staff on the other side is non existent hiding in the office or something. Perhaps should go to The Gym Group to see how it should work.

  • 4/5 Paul L. 3 years ago on Google
    Good gym with plenty of equipment. The staff try and stay in top with cleaning and putting weights away. Plenty of parking and not far from Aintree station

  • 3/5 Frankie W. 1 year ago on Google
    I visited PureGym Aintree a few weeks ago, at about 2am, as it’s what time suits me with work and I’m trying to get back into exercising. I bought a day pass and it was brilliant - lovely clean equipment, nice empty gym, air con working, all the rest of it - until I needed the toilet. The men’s changing was propped open with a door stop but after trying to use my day pass access code (which I used to enter the building) to access the women’s toilets, I was sent a text and email stating I couldn’t use the code I’d been given for “access”. It’s a good job the gym was empty and my partner checked the men’s was also empty so I could go and use the toilet, which is something I shouldn’t have to do and would not be acceptable during the day.

  • 5/5 Will M. 1 year ago on Google
    Recently come back after moving away glad to see they have had a change around lots of free weights

  • 5/5 Kriss J. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym looks great inside after makeover need better medicine balls though

  • 1/5 Chris S. 1 year ago on Google
    Dirty, machines aren't maintained well. Stupidly busy, tried training at different times as well. Constantly having to wait for different stations. Its tough to get a full workout in, end up having to do different exercises as you are waiting too long for stuff. I'm not new to gyms I've been training for 40 years. Only came here as my usual gym is being refurbed, can't wait for it to open back up. Its very cheap, but its just not for me

  • 5/5 Matt G. 3 years ago on Google
    miss this place but at least they dont charge like some when closed

  • 5/5 K M. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy guest access. Friendly atmosphere. Welcoming for all abilities. All kit is clean and in full working order.

  • 2/5 K 1 year ago on Google
    The gym is starting to look good with the refurb it is in the process of having, however the classes are crammed. It looks like the gym has new aircon only it either isn't on or doesn't blow out enough cold air.

  • 1/5 Chris T. 3 years ago on Google
    Trying to make enquiries & find more info, so we could make an informed decision about which gym would suit us best to get started at. Phone lines are still closed, so we had to email & DM, & told someone would get back to us. For this service, I rated JD Gym's 5 star's, couldn't have sold it to us better, costumer service was 2nd to none! & so 2 new they have. Pure Gym's, 48 hour's later, & still no response!

  • 2/5 Aston L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's in a great location and friendly people. However, the main reason for the low mark is because the weights are just dump all over the place. You spend more time looking for matching weight dumbbells than you actually do on your training.

  • 5/5 Tom M. 3 years ago on Google
    Really spacious and well managed considering it is open 24-7

  • 5/5 Matty H. 3 years ago on Google
    Very impressed with how clean and tidy this gym is compared to the others I've been to! The app is great as you get to see how many people are in at certain times

  • 1/5 Peter W. 5 months ago on Google
    What an absolute dump! You definitely do get what you pay for. Theres also a blonde woman who looks like she has about ten shots of steroids a day who hogs the equipment every morning. Puts her towels on machines, and then stops anyone from using it, even when she’s on something else. Dare say anything to her and you’ll see every vein pop up on her, as I discovered! Waste of time saying anything to the staff as they’re all clearly pally with her. Absolutely disgusting gym, hostile environment and needs an update. Staff just walk around doing nothing or sit in the office downstairs.

  • 5/5 Chike a. 4 years ago on Google
    I loved this gym. Big, spacious, different equipments 5 stars.

  • 3/5 J C. 7 months ago on Google
    Standard gym really plenty of equipment it's just a but small in there I would not go at peak times you wouldn't be able to move in there

  • 2/5 v6i83 8 months ago on Google
    Needs a renovation - the air con does not work very well anymore, or at all upstairs. The cardio equipment is tired and much of it needs replacing. There are numerous things out of order and have been for a while. The treadmills are the worst for this and there isn’t that many to begin with. Plus it’s pot luck whether you’ll get one in metric or imperial measurements. The cardio equipment generally feels like an afterthought compared to the strength ones. The strength areas have waaaaaayyyy more space available too, the cardio stuff is essentially crammed in. There is ample parking yet some users choose to use the disabled spaces instead of walking the extra few metres to the entrance. Also the music is way too loud, can barely my own music in my headphones over the music blasting over the speakers a lot of the time. I get that playing music on speakers is useful to block out some of the noise of users using machines, but the music is much too loud. I’d recommend going elsewhere, the Brunswick PureGym is much nicer.

  • 4/5 pascel w. 8 months ago on Google
    It's a good gym one of the best pures in liverpool been to a few and this one is brilliant, could do with a few extra machines to isolate certain muscle groups but other than that it's an all rounder, there's sufficient weights and equipment for all, it's really good in the night I only go late at night as in the day it's really busy other than that i would recommend to friends and family.

  • 5/5 cavan l. 9 months ago on Google
    Very clean and staff are excellent the gym also offers many services. No sauna or steam room

  • 1/5 Donal F. 1 year ago on Google
    I'm a long term member. Someone hit my car, which was parked in the retail carpark directly outside of the gym, while I was in the gym. Manager said they would help me and then just ignored all of my communications after, offering literally zero help whatsoever.

  • 5/5 Daniel J. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 brian c. 11 months ago on Google
    Great gym to workout ..friendly atmosphere with 2 floors and plenty of equipment, , plenty of free parking ..been coming here for years so would highly recommend 👌

  • 2/5 F S. 1 year ago on Google
    Ladies bathroom really stinks and the sanitisation stations are mostly out of sanitizer! Also some certain members keep starting at me THE WHOLE TIME when I workout which is becoming really annoying and distracting ,I couldn't tolerate it so I left the gym.

  • 5/5 Jared T. 1 year ago on Google
    Bigger and quieter than other pure gyms I’ve been to and the parking is much easier , lots of equipment availability and a much nicer layout.

  • 1/5 Gemma N. 1 year ago on Google
    classes are always overcrowded with more people there then have booked on, which results in there not being enough equipment and being stuck in a tiny space with not enough room to exercise without getting in the way of the person next to you. This has happened to many times now will be cancelling my membership.

  • 2/5 gerald s. 1 year ago on Google
    Beggars belief that, after a pandemic, people are still not taking cleanliness seriously people blowing their nose on tissues which are use for cleaning down training equipment and then discarding it in the actual box and then the use in the gents toilets, not washing hands absolutely disgusting Some peoples policing of their personal hygiene is an absolute joke and it’s these people that make the situation they’re all in today so people that come here should need to understand and stop being so selfish and thinking of themselves, but think of other people. .

  • 5/5 Mr m P. 3 years ago on Google
    Boss workout

  • 1/5 Paul L. 1 year ago on Google
    2nd week on the run the circuit class has more people than booking, too many people on one station, class needs organising. I'm not gonna bother booking again, absolute joke. You need to start taking a register of a Tuesday morning Puregym! stop wasting peoples valuable time.

  • 1/5 Carly M. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s cheap for a reason. You get what you pay for. The place is filthy, especially the toilets. Weights are never back in the right place, yet so many staff just wander around. There’s a little clique in there who hog about three machines at once, putting towels on so you can’t use them. Staff just ignore it as they’re all really pally. This is why there’s never any machines available to use. I’ll be going back to David Lloyd. This place is proper grim!

  • 4/5 DaVinci'Leftelbow 3 years ago on Google

    Nice enough gym. A lot busier than I expected, and the equipment could do with being updated

  • 4/5 Jen B. 4 years ago on Google
    No sports water machine, you have to pay for drinks, machines are a little dated, everytime you go in the machines are moved to a different place. No fobs or much of anything at all in vending machines. Staff are great though, very helpful. UPDATE:- new machines installed which is great, still no sports water machine tho. Vending machines have been refilled regular 🙂 no anti bac product or roll to clean machines, should be ports everywhere. They've gained a star for now.

    Been far too long since I was last at puregym. After a arm injury. Loved my training session. Can't wait till tomorrow. PureGym is great as usual.

  • 3/5 Aodhan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Not a bad experience, no studio area to really be able to do free exercise such as squats or step ups. Could also be cleaner male showers not the cleanest I've seen in puregyms

  • 5/5 Michael W. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good gym! Recently joined as a total newbie and found it quite quick to get over the initial apprehension, with people of all fitness ranges in there. Plenty of equipment and space within the gym that you can comfortably get on with your workout without feeling like you're crammed in. Does get very very busy through the week at peak times but the app gives an indication on how many people are there and expected busy periods so you can plan a time to go that best suits you.

  • 5/5 Joanne M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great first class, it's good to be back after 2 years!! Everyone was very friendly and made me feel welcome, looking forward to my next class 🙂

  • 4/5 Niko B. 2 years ago on Google

    Gym is ok overall. Good amount of machines and 24 hours. Some of the pt very good always smiley and helpfull.

And my partner have seen The floor walks been signed in advance males changing rooms.
