It’s crazy how lightly Cutsomer service is taken in this gym. This is my second time I am experiencing this. I called for assistance as I had a scooter and wanted to use the disable door as my hand was fractured the lady just wasn’t ready to listen. I told her how in this gym how rude the assistance is she just starting walking away when I was trying to talk to her. I asked her name and she just left lol. Furthermore if this lady is following “policies of pure gym” why is she so scared to give her name? God knows how pure gym has so many branches all over london but still zero in terms of service. Attaching the photo of the lady hopefully the management team can do something about it or at least train their employees how to talk to people. :)

Love this gym. Lots of space, good variety of equipment HOWEVER it's so frustrating that the changing rooms are closed at night. When I come in for a late workout I can't be leaving soaked in my gym gear. I can't understand why they can't just leave it open while they clean like other gyms. This sounds silly but I might cancel and join another gym for this reason as having a shower and getting changed after a workout is quite a basic requirement.

Sadly after a few months I need to drop my previous rating. Equipment is good but most of the members spend more time on instagram during their workout than actually training, leading to people that are actually training waiting for a while to use a specific machine. Gym etiquette isn't great. There is also a pt giving stupid (and dangerous) diet advice to my partner. Apart of this guy, staff seems to be alright though.

I really like this gym... but I have one big issue that is getting to the point of making we want to leave: The spin classes are soooo noisy. The music is so loud and the instructors shout so loudly. It's really distracting and I've had to end my workout early on a few occasions and leave because it was just so loud. It feels like this area needs some soundproof walls around it. That way the class can stay as loud as it wants and the rest of us can workout in peace.

Haven't given it 5 stars as I've only been literally a couple of times. However it seems to be a good mix of clientele from serious grunting types (only a few thankfully! ) to the normal gym goer , all ages, all sizes ...so, so far so good 👍🏋️🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♂️💪💪💪

Been using this gym for around 11 years now due to its great vibe, large spaces, mixed community, mixture of equipment and natural light. It can be extremely busy during the morning, evening and Saturday peak - luckily I can avoid these times and usually go when there’s around 60/70 people (pretty common during off-peak) and rarely have issues using everything I need. Some new equipment has been recently added that improves the experience. Cleaning stations still exist, however fewer than 6-months ago. It would be great if PG could retain these as some other gyms have removed them completely.

I put in a review before that their aircons were not working except 2 or 3 in the gym during peak summer and it was humid and so smelly due to lack of ventilation. That was over 3 months ago, it is now Sept they have switched off all aircons and put in place some air coolers which are not sufficient to cool such large spaces. Its cold outside and hotter inside despite it being Autumn now. I have been a regular for over 2 years but I think it's time to leave this gym now as they would not change their ways. 6 other of my friends have already quit pure gym oval.

This company doesn’t know what customer service means, nothing against this one specifically

Best gym in the town for an affordable price! Really a good size gym with 24 hour access. Lots of kits and training studios. Generally helpful staff, but not that friendly bunch! But then you are not going there for socialisation! Secure location so you park your bikes outside without having to worry about someone breaking the lock and stealing your bike!

Great range of equipment, and different types of training. Dumbbells go up to 50kg, probably needs more plates and maybe a Trap Bar but still great. Other than that only issue is trying to find the right spot to get signal and check your messages lol

I've been a member of this gym for a number of years. As a big fan of gym classes I feel very disappointed with the classes available in this gym. Find it hard to attend a class for several reasons. Members are meant to book the class in advance so they can have the space and equipment needed. However, it happens frequently that there's no space or equipment available for everyone because the names of those who booked are only checked in the end of the class. Also there's no long a variety of classes available late afternoon. Also must mention that the quality of intructors have declined significantly. This doesn't surprise me since seems like these days anyone can become a PT in 14 weeks! Which kind of knowledge can you have? Having worked in rehabilitation myself it's painful to watch people very so often with bad posture, using machines wrong, using heavy weights prone to injury and no advice is given. Also noticed that instructors can sometimes ask if someone have an injury, however you will be surprised to know that the exercises won't be adjusted or tailored to the injured member. It's chocking! I honestly don't even know why do they bother to give classes.The music selected seems to be according to personal taste, completely random and nothing related to the exercises. A word to motivate? Nope... actually rarely engaging with members..again no corrections recommended. Exercises are standard and boring tabata or sequence to be repeated 3x. You're not taking care of your members. I miss the fully qualified personal trainers! Bring them back please!!

I used to be a little bit intimidated by the gym but then I invested in a PT at Pure Gym Oval and it was the best decision I made regarding my fitness! I worked with Nadia over 3 months and she was fantastic! I thought I was doomed with the skinny girl gene but she changed my body in a way I didn't think was possible, I got biceps! She taught me a completely new way of approaching my work outs. She was so invested in my fitness that it made me more committed and accountable. And it wasn't just about the hour a week we spent together, she would check in with me during my other gym visits and she even had me send her pictures of everything I ate! I would strongly recommend her and PureGym in general. Great value for money and so pleased with the results!

Lots of space, very clean at the gym and at the bathrooms (I always use the showers and they are super clean) but I have to give it 3 stars because the music is way too loud, I have to put my headphones at max volume to hear my own songs and I end up with a bit of a headache. Please can the music be turned down? Thanks!

It's a great gym, with loads of equipment and facilities however they need more cleaning stations around each section

Good location, yes☝️ equipment ☝️ Price ☝️ Average clients 80 mans / 20 women's ? Guys always parade on a red carpet, gym is a local to do some exercise, not meet up and steering on the other guys.? Motivation 0? Music ? like type of Bruno Mars etc etc Internet ? just in some spots On the pic time there is no enough equipment for all us?

I initially liked PureGym based on the low cost, no hassle membership. PureGym Oval has a lot of equipment, which is great. Sadly the gym is so crowded you have to fight to use it. The ratio 80/20 men to women means that if you are a woman you will be constantly asked to move by men who otherwise spend their time peacocking around the gym. Scroll through the reviews and you will see a litany of other complaints from female members, I suspect the male managers aren't that fussed about catering to that market as I have tried to raise this with them. Since the weather has improved I've stopped going and am working out at home/outdoors, using the Hussle app to get gym passes to far nicer gyms and have started to enjoy exercising again.

This gym offers a good workout area and the equipment is reasonably maintained. However, a huge caveat to this gym is the constant problems with the showers. More often than not, multiple showers do not work and on the rare occasion that they do, there are very frequent periods of weeks without warm water which seem to remain unresolved. It is also not uncommon to find dirty showers. Very disappointing that management can't maintain and offer basic support services within a flagship gym. So much so, that it leaves one questioning your membership.

Have been attending Veowna’s Cycle classes for months and have never have a better instructor in gym or studio! Great classes that are enjoyable but keep you on your toes, Veowna is motivational and has great morale with the class. Thank you! 😊

The gym is very well managed and has a decent range of equipment ... but if you are training at a busy time during the day (avoiding the horror of the evening peak time) it is still frustrating just how few weight plates are available (thus taking valuable training time looking for the ones required for your 3 or 4 sets on a piece of equipment). The gym is also too cold year round but especially during the winter months. In particular, the large group training area at the far end of the gym and the far end of the weights area.

The gym is nice and clean ,spacious with great machines but I don't like the way the machines are now after restrictions were lifted. In second and third rooms they placed the machines like in an island style, all together back to back, which for me they are too close to each other. Also one of the machines on 2°room is a few steps from a door and a monitor. So when you are in that machine you have people in an out of the room and using the monitor almost on top of you . Staff also could be more friendly but I think it's the general vibe in the gyms in London . Full of arrogant and unfriendly ppl...

A large, organised and well ventilated gym with plenty of equipment and space. People mostly put their equipment back and the staff are on top of the cleaning. Get's busy at the usual rush hour times and has lots of free classes to attend. There's also a covered area to lock up your bicycle if you cycle in. Some sections of the gym you cant get signal on your phone and not sure about wifi availability (would be good to know?). Generally prefer this gym over others due to it's size, cleanliness and affordability.

A generally very spacious branch, post-refurb with dedicated areas. I also trained here in March 2021, where I noticed the management did a good job of ensuring their members were looked after as the gyms were re-opening. Features deadlift platform. A go-to London branch.

Probably the best PureGym in London. Staff and people at the gym are beyond friendly and genuinely lovely people. You don't feel watched as everyone's there just to workout and feel good. Rarely get people who are loud and annoying. The staff are so supportive and open to answer any questions if you just approach them. The gym is often kept clean and people always put the weights pack in order. I've lived around London and used PureGyms near Kings X, Tottenham Court Road, Camden, Canary Wharf and Bayswater. It actually pains me that I had to leave the Puregym in Oval as I had such a good time there...

I enjoy going to Puregym Oval, gym has a massive selection of free weights plus resistance machines, four different parts were classes take part - from spin classes, to functional classes also a virtual studio too. It is clean and tidy.

The gym is well equipped and kept very clean. Can get busy depending on the time but there is always space to work out. Affordable and lots of great equipment.

The best pure gym I've been too. Spacious and lots of machines, racks and platforms to use

Very big gym. Open 24hrs. Usually not very busy compared to the other ones in central London. High ceilings and good ventilation make it a bit safer during Covid times. Friendly staff.

Definitely one of the best Puregym I've ever been. Enough space for daily workout. You can always find a space, not so crowded:)

Very dirty, cold showers (the problems persists after months of complaining, very cold temperature with air conditioners pumping cold air on sweaty people, very unhealthy. Floors are dirty and so the equipment. The corners of the rooms are filthy, the flooring is rolling off representing a hazard with humps and foamy carpet sticking out in various parts. There is a cleaner who just pretends to clean around but really he’s not doing much, apart from polishing already cleaned surfaces like the sinks. Exercising mats are filthy, they are supposed to be deep cleaned regularly, I wiped them with disinfectant and the cloth was black! The same guy didn’t even know if the water was warm or cold and had to open the showers to check. I mean a cleaner! they are supposed to clean showers too, so how can they not know if the water is cold? I realised that some people are happy with this line of disservice, or maybe they are simply fed up of complaining, but these issues should be resolved. I understand that Puregym is a low cost gym (not so low after all) I’m not asking for towels, saunas and massages, but at least warm showers and clean spaces. Plus there is no sign to warn about cold water, so one undresses and go under the shower just to find out that it’s pretty darn freezing. People use the gym before going to work and they expect to have a shower after working out. Same problem since months that remains unresolved, when I complaint, I received a useless and patronising response from the manager just to show that they care for clients. Just no.

Im very disappointed that the punchbag has been removed and none of the staff seem to know when its coming back. Also, there are no les mills videos in the gym. Both the punchbag and les mills are listed in the markettibb website for yhis gym, so its false advertising

Had my first visit to Pure Gum Oval today where I met with my Personal Trainer Tommy. He was very friendly, professional, and he was focused on me, which was great. As I had been going to the gym for along time, he made me feel at ease and helped me reset my posture and corrected my form, where I had bad habits over the years. Loved the gym, and how well set up it was. Very clean. Looking forward to my next session. Thank you. Definitely highly recommend Tommy and this gym.

NEXT TIME SEND TEXT MESSAGES FOR SUBSCRIBERS THAT YOU WILL CLOSE FOR MAINTENANCE OTHER THAN HANGING KHARA SIGNS YA HMAR. I RECENTLY SUBSCRIBED FOR PREMIUM SO YOU SHOULD RESPECT MY MONEY :) IT SEEMS MANAGER IS VERY INTELLIGENT TO THE POINT HE DON'T REMIND PEOPLE ABOUT SUCH THING. BEST THING IS THAT ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES SAW ME GOING IN WITHOUT NOTIFYING ME LIKE A WALL STANDING. WHERE DO YOU GET SUCH EMPLOYEES 😂🤣 After paying 41£ monthly subscription i can't find a place for using a machine or the wieght i need to use barbells :) i didn't pay that much to have no place VERY crowded

PureGym Oval it's been my gym for years, from the day it first opened. Always nice and welcoming staff, one of the biggest gyms in London with the latest equipment, classes and modern look! Love PureGym 💙❤️💪🏻🏋️‍♂️🏳️‍🌈

The gym is understaffed, messy, and ill equipped. The air conditioning is all but off in this weather, and the number of machines could do with being doubled for the amount of wasted floor space. The “digital studio” is an absolute waste of space and money to power the massive screen wall that’s never used! For a “cheap” gym it does the job, but unfortunately it’s not cheap!

Large gym but very busy. One must be mindful of time he/she goes to avoid crowds.

Great.value for money

Firstly I do like the gym , it's spacious (could be better utilised) staff are friendly and excellent value for the membership charged. My biggest gripe with this gym is the etiquette of its members.Note: staff nor other members are there to put your weights away ( if you can lift it off the rack you can put it back). Only yesterday I saw a member leave a 50Kg weight for someone else to pick up ! It's unacceptable behaviour and would lead to being banned in other gyms. I guess it's hard to police and with a lot of these members being quite intimidating to others and some with serious attitude problems , staff and members alike would probably rather say nothing. However it's something that really needs to be addressed , it's also dangerous to others to have so many weights left around and creates a bad atmosphere for what is actually a great gym.

Always clean, very modern equipment and good selection of weights. Probably the best pure gym I've been into in London.

ok. can be busy and smelly after 5pm like all gyms I suppose. some dumbbells aren't put back to how they should be after they have been used which is annoying. really fantastic group classes. a lot of equipment to be used, so you'll not need your phone to entertain yourself.

Decent gym overall, nice and spacious and good equipment. however, only downside is the lack of actual weight plates. Often scrambling around trying to find plates !

I’ve been going to this gym for years and it is well equipped however it is CONSTANTLY freezing! Especially in the functional area and changing rooms. If you’re into strength training and my HIIT workouts that make you sweat heaps it’s not beneficial. The new layout in the weights section also excludes a large section of people as they have moved all the lighter weights into a small area with only 3 benches which means a lot of people are not able to make use of the “extra” benches in the weights section.

I don't recommend. Its saturated! Ok, I m going at the most busy time. But its so many people that you need to queueing for the machine. Class are so annoying because they occupied all the free area that You cannot find a square for your stretching. The yanga machine always breakdown that what extra i m paying for. Its a big gym but tobsmall for all the members and they keep doing an offer. . That its ridiculous

Beautiful place

Once a proud flagship for Puregym, this gym has become steadily more crammed and, frankly, difficult to workout in. The brand new equipment is appreciated, but now leaves little room to physically move around. Given that the gym has had an influx of January members, it's literally impossible to move around. The excellent track and rack room is now unusable during most evenings and even into the night, as large classes take up this space. Long-standing, long-paying members are looking elsewhere for a place to lift, run and push themselves without having to fight for space to breathe.

Too busy. Not enough machines

Good gym.. I don't want to be rude but some of stuff is unhelpful and they look patethetic really.

(Translated by Google) Not bad, although if I want to go in the afternoon after work it is almost impossible because it is usually very full! (Original) No está mal, aunque si quiero ir por la tarde después del trabajo es casi imposible porque suele estar muuuy lleno!

One of the best gyms I've been to in terms of space but they could do with a trap bar and it's busy af during peak times

Amazing.

It's the best and the most complete Pure Gym in London. It's getting better, always doing huge refurbishment, smalls changes to make those rooms comfortable; and adding new equipment. I've been training there since February 2013, and I can see that the gym is so better now. Good job.??

used to be a 24 hours gym, but now you can't train at midnight which is less crowded. instead you have to go during the day and catch the corononavirus.

I like the gym

Clean, spacious and plenty of equipment. Great service

oh man I love this gym... HUGE and has all kind of machines, you'll always have a free machine or weight to do an exercise... just go train and stop reading this...

Nice gym. It lacks the amount of machines than other gyms but makes up for it with he functional area & being very spacious. Great gym

Not bad, staff could be a bit more friendly

i love puregym. i hope my experience continues to stay positive. puregym is the place for health lovers. and the users of the gym inspire me and they look so comfortable when they work out. the staff do brilliant classes. I would like the yoga price to be included in the gym membership.

Gym is spacious with lots of equipment. The good thing is, it is open 24 hours and there are daily fitness classes.

Decent sized gym, with all the equipment you need. I avoid 5-9pm every day because it’s too crowded to do anything. 4 stars because there always seems be a slight sewage smell coming from the vents or air conditioning which is quite off-putting.

Handy place for me as in location and reasonabley priced, it uses a pin code entry system which is easy to remember, birth day/month and then a 4 digit code. The equipment is in the basement with changing rooms upstairs. The staff are always friendly/professional and willing to give advice. I've been to a few different gyms and they all have their pro's and cons whether it's more floor space/cleaner or a better view but this one has plenty of equipment for cardio and weight training as well as plenty of free weights. It can get busy at times but I've always been able to use the machines I need to. I didn't give it a five star because I have mentioned this before, they really need more cleaning products especially down by the cardio machines, you have to walk half way across the gym for the cleaning station and by the time you walk back others have already jumped on the equipment. Apart from that it's good enough.

(Translated by Google) Clean room runs very well (Original) Salle propre court très bien

Fantastic gym. The best PURE GYM venue I have ever visited. Masses of machines, weights and cardio equipment

The best Puregym I've been to in London. Spacious, clean, lots of mat area for training, cool crossfit area, and good virtual studio. My fave one by far!

The gym is OK, but for me personally there are not enough classes with normal teachers. There are video classes all the time in the Digital Studio. And they are quite stupid and all the same every time. If you saw them once you don't want to come again.

Nice range of equipment and loads of space

(Translated by Google) I have not been to the gym in Japan, so I do not know the market price, but if it is possible to use such facilities with a monthly fee of around £ 30 (there is a difference in price depending on the area. In addition, the admission fee is around £ 30) I think that is enough. The changing rooms are well cleaned and you may not feel uncomfortable. Not only here but as a whole trend of PureGym, you may not be able to use the desired equipment after a little crowded after afternoon 5 on weekdays and on the afternoon of holidays, but if you avoid that time zone you will not feel particularly inconvenient is. You can also access PureGym outside of the local area by paying an additional monthly fee, so you can use PureGym near your home on holidays when you work on weekdays. . Since we have been conducting a regular admission fee free campaign (appears frequently in Instagram etc.), if you are considering joining, you may wish to join at that time. (Original) 日本でジムに通ったことがないので相場はわかりませんが、月額￡30程度(地域によって値段にバラつきあり。それに加えて入会金が￡30ほど)でこれほどの設備を使えるのであれば個人的には充分だと思います。 更衣室も清掃が行き届いていて、不快に感じることはないかと。 ここに限らずPureGym全体の傾向として、平日のアフター5以降及び祝日の午後は若干混み合って希望の器具が使えない場合もありますが、その時間帯を避ければ特に不便を感じるようなことはないです。 また月額に追加料金を払うことで、地元以外のPureGymにもアクセスできるようになるので、仕事のある平日はオフィスの近くで、休日は家の近くのPureGymを使う、というような使い分けも可能です。 定期的に入会金無料のキャンペーンをやっているので(Instagramなどに頻繁に登場します)、入会を検討されている方はその時期を狙って入会されるのもありかと思います。

Great place to work out

Affordable, spacious and offers a wide range of equipment. Better then most fitness first's and other commercial gymd

Great gym, lots of space. Great PT’s

Very nice gym indeed everything spaced out plenty of room. Went late night when its quiet and unlike some of the puregym I been to this one is maintained as in people actually return their weights and their not laying around everywhere so well done to the local members there. Only issue is I believe the car park is not free which is a hassle, of course can park on street outside the gates but could be a lot more convenient if able to park right outside the gym

Really nice gym. Plenty of space and equipment

Huge well equiped gym with a nice crowd. It is definetly the best place to work out in South London.

The gym is okay. The people there are bums.

Beautiful.

Fully equipped!

Nice size gym but unfriendly PT'S

24 hours training available, what's not to like!

Perfect
