Over-subscribed gym that is open 24 hours. It is very busy Monday to Wednesday, particularly after work. It is quieter on Saturday and Sunday. There is quite a lot of cardio equipment, but not enough weights or weight equipment unless you go at a quiet time. The men's change room is too small and a real fight for space. The showers frequently seem dirty. It's a limited service gym, so very difficult to find anyone from management if you need them.

Great gym, just off the main road, and round the corner from Holborn station. I came here today just checking it out as my membership allows me to use any gym. Place is very well kept and clean all over. I expected it to be busy because of the location, but it wasn’t. There were people there, but not too busy to make me wait for equipment. They have loads of cleaning stations located around the gym.People there very friendly too. I will definitely visit again!

-5 if I could. Just don’t. First time I went was 3 weeks ago around 22:15. The cleaning MALE staff, was too busy speaking on the phone to hear me yelling from showers to not come in. Ended up hiding naked behind a column and arguing with the man why that’s inappropriate! Whilst he was still on the phone. Changing room closes 12:00-5AM. NO Changing room, NO Shower, NO nothing. That was not pointed out when I payed £40 for a gym I can’t use. So if you finish work by 11pm, get there by 11:30, have an hour work out you’ll have to walk home drenched in your own sweat. NO Aircon either, the place had a strong sweat smell.

Have been to a fair amount of pure gyms around the country and this is by far the worst. Normally they are spotless and super clean. This place sticks of raw sewage throughout. Like stale urine. Pretty gross. Aircon non existent too. Avoid. For £14.99 for a day pass. Not worth it. Shame.

It’s a small gym - usually overcrowded at any time. Various machines broken for days. Filtered water machine (I pay extra monthly ) has been limited to 2 fill ups per day (?!) and now NO fill ups because machine is also broken (for a week). Disappointing and depressing place to work out

They do not carry any type of health check, nor do they have you sign a waiver of liability. I believe that's a sign of a massive lack of duty of care to their members. It's a cheap gym and you get what you pay for. Lack of space, equipment and comfort. I do not recommend this franchise specially if you are a beginner since there is a complete lack of assistance from the staff. Good luck finding a spot to exercise

Not too busy and open later than some other pure gyms during covid.

Ok gym. horrible music. lack of higiene. A very rude PT called Gary Tighe monopolize spaces, annoying and think he owns the gym. A very unpleasant experience.

Tiny tiny tiny. 2 squat racks and 1 bench press which is not even close to enough for anytime there’s more than 10 people in the gym. Also no Mens locker room?? Or it’s out of order with no notice? There was also no AC on or ventilation, so the whole building smelled terrible. Better locations very close I’d recommend visiting…

Friendly/approachable staff: recently joined this gym (a few weeks ago) following the pandemic and the staff have been nothing but helpful and accommodating. All go above and beyond to provide such a high level of customer service. It can be quite nerve wracking as a new starter however, the welcoming atmosphere at Holborn has made it a very pleasurable and smooth sailing experience. Cleanliness & equipment/facilities: The gym is very well maintained and well equipped throughout. Though I haven’t yet participated in any of the fitness classes, they appear to be popular.

And how many days this is gonna be like this? 🤔 As members who paid for this we should get extra days to use it once is fixed and not get charge for! By the way, toilets.... Smell like dead rat pee!

The location of the gym as well as the equipment is quite good. However, I am quite displeased by all the promotional messages saying I can get a discount for joining (as I have considered moving the gym I usually go to) and then three promotions that they have running (student and February zero joining fee as well as friend referal) all do not work at this gym. I've also tried talking to customer service on their website about this and they were very unhelpful and did not even know the exclusions on the promotions. I asked them if anything can be done to which I've had a reply of "No, good luck". I have used gyms of various prices before but ,have never experienced such unhelpful customer service that have further made me question whether I want to join this gym, as my first reason was that it is closer than my current one. However if this is the way customers are being treated, I would not recommend going here.

The showers in this place look like theyre cleaned once a week. Theyre basically unusable.

It is OK, but terribly busy in the mornings. Even from 7 there are some small queues for the equipment. The showers are like this. One broken, one with no door, another with a short lock (doesn't close) and another with a very close lock (doesn't close). The material is hardly in its place. It wouldn't hurt to hire somebody to watch over the gym every now and then. Edit: the aircon is incredibly faulty.

I'm loving it, too many phongys (people on the phone faking a work out) Edit : no longer a member I've joined thegym. better equipment and more clean.

Almost all types of machine available. 24/7 open so don't worry about timings. And location is also good. Washrooms and changing rooms are not clean properly.

Probably, the best PureGym I've been to. Equipment is organised well and gym is overall very clean and well maintained in comparison to many other pure gyms. Staff are very friendly and helpful especially the manager Eugene.

1. The location is okay; it is 7 minutes away from the Holborn station. 2. This gym is in a more central location in London, so the space is crowded. The free weights area is in the corner downstairs, completely separated. 3. I saw two squat racks. I would recommend going there during the non-peak time if you don't want to wait (For example, weekday after 7:30 pm). 4. If you are into classes, the studio class space is big enough to host about 10 people. More than that, it would get too crowded. If you want to book classes and want to optimize your experience, check the PureGym app to see how many people have signed up.

The 5 stars are for Laura that in just a couple of months has sorted my lower back pain and posture! She is passionate about her work and inspirational.. I have been with PureGym for years and despite regular weekly attendances, I was not really satisfied with the results I was achieving. I am so glad that I finally decided to have a PT and Laura has been a perfect match! After a number of individual sessions she agreed to train me and my husband together..couple sessions are super fun and she can confidently manage two of us maintaining a top quality service! Highly recommended!

Great, clean gym :) and Friendly staff, also Gym Classes are amazing!! Laura is perfect. She is always optimistic When I exercise with her, she passionately teaches me how to exercise correctly :) Thank you

I always use Holborn pure gym:) The staff are very friendly and ruxanda is the most kind among them!!! Also passionate about her work!! I always get excited every time I go to Gym!

Gym itself isn't too bad but definitely isn't as good as other branches of puregym. My main issue is the mens changing room stinks so bad I have to hold my breath going in. Its disgusting. Obviously zero maintenance very unsanitary. They need to sort out the smell because its sickening. This problem doesn't exist in my other branch. Clean your toilets!

Gym is swelteringly hot. Not ideal to workout then shower then still be hot and sweaty leaving. Please open some windows or get some aircon.

I am a massive fan of Puregym, the amount there are everywhere and classes/equiptment they have in them. This gym is one of the smallest gyms for the price I have been in to date, which is shame as its very conveniently positioned. It is in central London but for the price/size it is a little on the high side. That said, staff were pleasant and workout done, although it is hard to get a class booked too.

Good functional gym with lots of natural light. Good focus on both cardio machines and weights (machines and frees). Clientele tends to leave this place in a mess but that's every gym and of course Puregym instructs its staff to do the occasional sweep and reset. Good on them to do that service for others which is essentially just the same as picking up after children , so thank you.

Waiting for 15 minutes in front of the entry. Trainers have noticed me multiple times but no one cared to check up.

Staff at this gym are so friendly, it really makes the atmosphere here especially Stephanie. Showers super clean and spacious changing room.

Love this gym. Amazing equipment, friendly staff. Shoutout to Laura who coaches Bootcamp early mornings, always helpful, professional and makes classes super fun

Is a nice place to work out and the staff is helpful especially Laura she is very friendly and open to supporting you using the machines and giving advice. The gym most the time is clean! I highly recommend puregym Holborn

Visiting London for 4 days and been going here every morning about 5am. Not a bad little gym. Quiet at this time managed to do do everything needed no problem

(Translated by Google) Very good, but a little expensive. (Original) Muito bom, mas um pouco caro .

Very small

Great Circuit classes with Laura. I love going to Legs, Bums & Tums classes as well with Eugene which are very challenging and amazing!! The coach is always pushing you to achieve your best. Highly recommended.

Unwelcoming toxic masculine atmosphere. There are a couple staff regularly there, shouting in an aggressive manner. This makes the atmosphere unwelcoming and some members uncomfortable. It makes gym newbies and non toxic masculine people feel extremely uncomfortable. I don’t recommend.

Plenty of equipment - quite busy after work but still enough of everything. Helpful staff, good variety of classes, easily accessible, clean facilities. Fave class is circuit training.

Hi guys. I am a member of putney pure gym and I used to have the multi gym membership but I remember that it didn’t have your gym on the list. Why is this? And has it changed? It seems very bizarre. I work close by to your gym so having it as part of my multi gym membership would be great as I could go before or after work. How much does it cost to use if I pay per visit? And is there any discount as I am already a puregym member? Can someone please help and advice?

old. they don't have body search machine

A fairly well provisioned gym. Good selection of free weights and machines. Can get quite packed at lunch and in the early evening.

Good

Came as a visitor, very impressed

Nice gym good equipment.

Very clean and a great selection of equipment. The management are nice and it is not an intimidating place to train.

Great and very friendly environment overall! All Staff is very knowledgeable, motivating, helpful and very patient (special thanks to Rachael, Daniel and Laura ). The gym is open 24/7, centrally located, not too crowded, well equipped, has very clean facilities, great classes, and offers a great App to track all activities/challenges. Highly recommend!

Really busy at peak times. Love that they have late classes. Very friendly staff

Nice modern gym with friendly and helpful people, lots of equipment that are readily available. PT Marlow really helpful and accommodating when it comes to arrange sessions..

Class: LES MILLS BODYCOMBAT™ Instructor: Maureen Ram PG I can clearly say that all of the instructors In Holborn are awesome! One of the classes you should definitely attend is Maureen's 'Les Mills Bodycombat''. The class was full! The only problem was that there wasn't enough space and was tight, but anyway! After all it's a small gym and what's matter is done! She is so passionate, have suberb control over the lesson. Explanations and workout is clear however be ready to sweat a lot! I promise you will be death at the end!

Laura invited me at her Absolute ABS class and I found it extremely good. Very nice and useful exercises it doesn't kiol you but really makes you feel it. Highly reccomanded.

Great gym, very clean and has all the equipment that you need. Laura is extremely helpful and passionate. She takes a lot of interest in her clients goals and needs. Full of energy and positivity, love working out with her!!

Great experience with the lovely teacher Laura. I highly recommend to book a class with her! She is so motivating and friendly. Thank you so much 😊😊

Been a member for many years. Gary and Jessica are just amazing, the best! However we are currently without aircon for the second summer running! took temp in cardio area.. 26c!!! Manager disinterested and disengaged.

It's a small gym but the equipment is good and staff seem to be caring and helpful. Showers are the weak point for me - just one temp setting and no towels.

Always very clean, kind staff, never to busy, i really enjoy this gym, one of the best in london for me.

Staff turnover high. Spin Classes booked up online but usually half full. I just turn up now. Shame specialist spin trainers no longer used.Some equipment not accessible when classes on Men's shower cubicle has broken catch for six months. However convenient. Good value if you have Wide membership.

The weights room is boiling hot with no aircon or ventilation.The only bench press bench isn’t level. No water fountain anywhere. The two squat racks are in a room with low ceiling, so it’s impossible to perform shoulder press exercises if you are tall. Dirty showers. During my 3 month membership I have spoken to a number of staff members about these issues, nothing has been done.

it's a good gym but it is also very small. nice people but i don't stay too long.

I don’t know how they advertise this place to have “full aircon” as a selling point. There isn’t any, at all, hotter inside than it is outside. Lack of equipment, 4/5 floor mats, little weights, something is constantly broken or not functioning. Absolutely not worth the money. You’re better off spending £15 less and going to The Gymgroup Bloomsbury. Bigger, cleaner and has aircon!

Too much pressure from personal trainers to sign up, small cramped changing rooms

This is a PureGym so you’re not going to get a five star gym for the price that they charge. I’ve been training here 4-5x a week for over a year. Pros: lots of clean and modern equipment, staff are friendly, generally a nice environment to work out in. Cons: music is incredibly loud, there is only a tiny space for the whole gym to stretch and do core work in, the personal trainers take up a lot of room in the gym at peak times, it’s incredibly busy at peak times, and the men’s showers are constantly a mess (they always stink regardless of the time of day, I’ve never seen anybody cleaning them, and one cubicle has had a broken lock for what seems like a year). You get what you pay for, but for £35/m I would expect clean showers.

24 hrs open so gives me no excuse to miss it

Everything ok 24/7

Nice staff and good classes

This gym is too small for the large number of people who attend after work on weekdays from 6pm to 8pm. It is fine on weekends. The men's changing rooms are very dirty. There is a terrible smell when you enter and it has been like this at least since December when I first started attending. Also the floors of the showers are always filthy. The shower nozzles themselves spray a fine spray so are very ineffective. I've used the showers at Marylebone and I know they can do much better. Overall I wouldn't recommend this gym of you have to attend at peak times.

No contract gym is the best, here is easy to access and a lot of equipments to practice with.

Great gym ??

Very compact, very small, running machines so dated, the ladies toilet does not flash, classes are full & hard to get space...

Acceptable gym with the typical foray of equipment. Though possibly too many running machines. The layout is quite odd. Snaking around, due to the layout of the building. The changing rooms are located down stairs in he basement and are terribly ventilated! The air is offensive on entering though you get used to it. Never the less it does it’s job, been to better, been to worse.

The mens changing facilities are woefully small and violently stink.

i'm shocked this gym. I was the first time and no one from the service even came to ask if everything was okay. it's hard to find cloakrooms. it stank very much throughout the gym. air conditioning was not working properly. the music was very quiet. it was hard to relax. I do not recommend

I couldn't ask for more!

(Translated by Google) great room with all the gear available for evolved in good condition! (Original) super salle avec tous le matos à disposition pour évolué dans de bonne condition !!

Thank Lord, it is transforming into PureGym... for £30 a month(joining fee of £15 and you can opt out anytime.... No I don't work for PureGym, I live locally and I know this will be successful as they are open 24/7 Cannot wait!!!! F**K LA fitness, They are expensive and rude, you have oasis gym, which is good, all better gyms are very good and well maintained with staff and space, easy gym, very cheap and very big and too many people, gym box expensive but different, different classes like no other. 37(degrees) .. amazing and expensive LA Fitness is just another gym, nothing special, thats why they are closing down PureGym..... Wooooo

Nice gym, quite cramped during busy times. For this reason I come at midnight... Problem now is that the cleaners lock the toilets upstairs and they don't want you going in the changing room toilets when they're cleaning. This needs to stop! They said they lock the toilets because people leave it messy. Something needs to be done regarding this please guys.

It’s too cold

It's a good gym not always alot of people then again I train làte at night. It's clean to a point but my issue is for those of us that train and then want to shower the showers are not even available from midnight until about 5am. To those of us that work and don't want to go all the way home this is is unfair. I have been to 2 other establishments and between this one, Finsbury park and Whitechapel I gave up going to this one after about 3 trips due to exactly that. The others have the showers or accessibility toilets open round the clock this one however no.

Good gym! Great range of equipment, friendly staff who acknowledge you and say hello.... and cleaning equipment is accessible no matter where you are. Great place to train if you work around the area!

Plenty of kit .. too much cardio ,more pull up, chin up ,parallel bars and a rope climb would make it better

The showers are disgusting- only one has a working shower head, half don’t have shower trays, one of them has a 1” gap between the door and the lock so it doesn’t lock, and they absolutely stink of mould.

Dirty gym.

Friendly and helpful staff, good equipment and has a nice studio

Good gym and equipment with some friendly staff. Lack of WiFi is on and loses a star for me

Good 24hr open!

Meh! Staff could improve their communication. Gym is alright for where it is. But nothing special apart from the 24hr opening times.

Good gym i still find a bit cramped though

Great gym , good selection of machines!

This place is ridiculous. I've been a member for a year, since last summer. When I first joined, I noticed that the air conditioning didn't work upstairs, in most of the gym (downstairs is no problem). They finally rolled out some big fans which supposedly cool but don't. I also noticed the bathroom absolutely reeks of stale piss. I put in a complaint and was told the air con was a "complex problem" but was being worked on and that the drainage in the bathroom would be fixed. Well, we're a year later, and there are no improvements in either. Really...is the air con such a new technology and so complex in 2023 that you can't fix it in a whole year? I wonder if Puregym would mind a visit from the Health authorities? On the positive side, the staff is nice and helpful, and they gym, while small, is pretty well equipped.

Laura, is a fantastic instructor. I do the “burn it” class with her. She clearly cares a lot about the classes she runs and pushes you, but also makes sure she supports you. I came out dripping! She gave us a protein cupcakes made by her at the end of the class which was a very kind gesture. Thank you Laura!

my instructor laura was so lovely! she was so encouraging throughout, i’ve only recently got back into going to the gym and this session with her has made me even more excited about my future visits to the gym. i was lucky enough to have a 1-1 as nobody else was booked onto the session; she was really attentive and i left feeling really confident about my form. thank you laura <3

I love pure gym specially because of Laura. She is a AMAZING PT very helpful and kind. She has really motivated me and got me into fitness back. Very understanding, she has tailored workouts specifically for my goals. Her classes Monday and Friday has been very beneficial for my fitness journey. Me and the members enjoy her class a lot. Overall, I’m very satisfied specially because of Laura has made me love the gym. I have recommended all my friends and family to this outstanding gym because of the staff and location.

I started attending morning classes at PureGym in Holborn recently, and I must say, I’m impressed! Although I haven’t had the chance to explore the entire facility yet, the ambiance and environment seem top-notch. A special shoutout to Laura, the instructor for one of the classes I attended. Her expertise, enthusiasm, and attention to detail were truly commendable. She made the workout enjoyable while ensuring everyone maintained proper form and technique. Laura’s dedication and passion for what she does shine brightly, making every session worthwhile. If you’re looking for a motivating and effective workout experience, I highly recommend checking out this gym and joining one of Laura’s classes. Can’t wait to explore more and continue my fitness journey here!

Good gym, friendly trainers
