You get what you pay for. It has equipment but not nearly enough lockers really gross showers. The staff is ok. The classes are only a half hour. It's really like half the gym for half the price. If you can overlook these things you will enjoy. Not for me.

This gym is never clean. Toilets are always filthy. It’s over crowded and under air conditioned.

What's my qualification? I have been a member since this place opened, used gyms in 4 different countries. Why I GIVE 4 stars? 1. I like that it is a 24 hour gym. Main positive reason for 4 stars. It benefits people who don't want to rush with crowd in the peak hours. But, if you like taking classes or can only go at peak hours, you might want to consider the changing room for men is under 6 sq meters. 2. The weights AND equipments are generally good. I used "generally" because PureGym has its own branded equipment that was lower quality than the other known brands like Technogym in my opinion. This gym uses both. 3. The weights can be disorganized. It might take you 2-3 mins to find proper weights.(easier if you are using weights above 20kgs) Occasionally, you need to put other people's weights back so that you have enough space to train. If this bothers you, use the most expensive gym/chain you can afford that has supporting staff always available. The last thing is that, after Covid, I don't go as often. Not only the virus issue, but also I bought a set of dumbbells to do workout at home. I only use this gym for the heavier training(squat rack) that I can hardly do at home. I hope this helps.

The only thing this place has going for it is the price and location. As soon as another gym opens in the area I'll be cancelling my membership here for sure. The equipment is poor and they've removed so much of the good stuff that was there previously, the changing rooms are so small that you have to queue to even get to a locker on weekdays and finally the sign 'sorry this is broken' is on about 30% of everything within the gym and has been for months. A really poor gym and a classic case of a company rinsing its customers for profit. I've no doubt it'll come back to bite them soon.

why don’t you leave the air conditioning on? If you’re hard up for the electric I’ll pay you for it. No joke it makes it horrible to work out here there’s no air to breathe.

Had a membership for a few months. Ok gym and it started well but it's overcrowded. Changing rooms are too small and staff seemed to have stopped cleaning. Staff are pretty rude and unhelpful too. At peak times there are way too many people to do a smooth routine without queuing for equipment.

This is a fine gym. The bathrooms are filthy, the changing rooms are small, and the equipment place is cramped. Still, it's worth it for the price and the fact that's open 24/7. I only occasionally have to wait to use equipment, and this is the perfect place if you plan to shower at home.

Wow, where to start: - Every week something new is broken or has an out of order sign on it. I went this morning and counted over 10 broken items! Amazing since the place only opened 2 months ago! It has become so laughable that every time I go I start by walking around to count how many items of broken equipment there are now, and hey presto.. every week the number goes up! - Nothing which breaks ever gets fixed or replaced!! It is pathetic, you cannot just put a sign on a broken facility, say to yourself ‘job done’ and leave it alone! Why not actually fix or replace it!? - The lift has been out of service for at least 6 weeks! I do wonder how would someone in a wheelchair or elderly person even get upstairs to the gym (which is on the 2nd floor). Shocking!! Do these gyms not have health and safety standards inspections? Send one now!! - The changing rooms are depressingly small. They say this was intended so that the gym floor size can be increased, yet it appears exactly the same as before when it was Soho gyms! Even so, and despite how crammed everything feels, there is still a lot of basic equipment missing which other puregym’s have! - The cardio machines are sooo old! They are so old that they still use IPhone 4 charger extensions. This phone came out almost a decade ago so these machines are 10 years old!! No wonder so many are broken!! - The resistance on the bicycles and cross trainer is so bad I don’t know how anyone can even break a sweat on them! Forget the flashy virtual running screens, get some cardio equipment which actually works!! Until they fix things, avoid this gym at all costs!!! The Tottenham Court Road puregym, despite costing a little more is so significantly better that it’s hard to believe! its mind boggling that the two gyms even have the same puregym brand!! Puregym staff, Please don’t reply with a generic ‘im sorry to hear about your blah blah’ comment and actually LISTEN to what people are saying and FIX this horrible gym!!!!

I joined for my first session on Monday 7th August. No soap in the toilets. No problem. I told a staff member. Came back on Wednesday 9th… STILL no soap in the toilets. Pretty gross hygiene failure. Not impressed. Update: this gym is steadily becoming more and more filthy over time. There’s more often no soap, no toilet roll, and the floors are filthy dirty. There are certain large bits of dirt that I now recognise on the floor because they’ve been there for so long.

I have been coming to Camden PureGym for around five months now and I have had so many bad experiences. Firstly, the staff are quite rude. There are some that love to stare at you working out and I have also been talked to like I am a child, it costs nothing to be nice, guys. There are other gym members that think it is ok to invade the space you are using (we are in a global pandemic I don't need you grunting within my immediate vicinity). I have also been approached by other gym users that like to interfere with my workout and 'instruct' me how to do things....which is quite honestly very patronising, I am a 21 year old woman that has been going to the gym for around 6 years - I don't need a man to tell me what to do. Overall, the experiences have compounded to the point that I shall not be returning after this month. For £42.99 a month I get spoken to like rubbish and spooked out on a regular basis.

Updated to say this gym is NOT SAFE. The front door is ALWAYS off the latch meaning people come in to both deal drugs or sleep rough in the stairwell leading up to the gym floor. Have messaged PureGym on this and they were not concerned about member safety. They stated the front door was always locked vs actually acknowledging it isn't.AVOID if your are a single female. -Original review- Convenient but it is consistently not cleaned with a large number of machines needing repair. If you are looking for convenience it's your go - cheap and open. However, if you want a bit more from a gym, definitely try other chains.

***REVIEWS PRIOR TO 6TH FEBRUARY 2019 ARE FOR SOHO GYMS WHOM PUREGYM BOUGHT OUT AND SUBSEQUENTLY REMODELLED AND SHOULD THEREFORE BE REMOVED FROM GOOGLE*** 02/05/19 UPDATE TO MY PREVIOUS REVIEW: Reduced the rating to 1 star as the state of the gym is declining. The toilets are disgusting to say the least and the gym and changing rooms are over-crowded. PureGym don't seem to have taken on any of the feedback from it's members or reviews. Even their own staff say they don't care! Their business model is purely a numbers game. Also google pictures are not of this gym! The biggest disappointment is the changing rooms - for a high street gym, just across the road from a major tube station, having only 45 lockers in the mens changing room is beyond a joke (most of them are too small too!). PureGym have signs saying lockers will be emptied nightly however this is as always an empty threat as certain lockers are used on a permanent basis (this is the case with every branch of PureGym I have visited). They have a few on the gym floor but this is superfluous to most peoples needs of taking a shower after a workout. Also one of the lockers has been broken for almost the entire time they have been open, bringing the number down to 44. To compound frustration, the changing room space in this branch is tiny and really poorly planned with not even a basin to wash your hands in. The showers last for around 20-30 seconds a touch as a water-saving measure and the water pressure is quite poor too. They say the reduced changeroom sizes have increased the gym floor space however being a member of when it was Soho Gyms, I can't see how the space has altered that drastically. I've attached 3 photos to this review, each taken within a week of each other and each a different toilet (there are 4 ON the gym floor - weird!) - for a new gym to have 3 broken toilets within a week is not a good sign. The gym staff, instead of sitting, chatting and congregating at the vending machines should really be more proactive on the gym floor and inspect their workspace. When the gym was Soho Gyms, there was abundant light and huge mirrors (now replaced by oddly smaller ones) all around the gym and in the studio - now the studio has been completely blacked out and the gym floor has these awful metal mesh coverings making everything much darker - PureGym should really take a look at whoever is doing their planning as they seem to have a dungeon fetish! Lastly for a gym that is open 24 hours, I can't see any CCTV in operation as a safety measure (with the exception of the entrance) - I could be wrong, but I have looked and can't find anything which is concerning and open to abuse.

Too many people for the size of the gym even at super off peak times. Showers are never clean.

2nd visit. So far so good. Always able to get a bench and my usual weights and workout sets. Wipe downs tissue and sprays are available too. :)

I don’t know what they’re running a gym or bando aka crackhouse. There’s usually always junkies inside the front entrance sleeping in there smoking as well, they don’t smoke cigarettes by the way. Most of the time during the day it is overcrowded. I’m pretty sure the male locker rooms are used to stash weed on a regular basis it stinks of it. The showers are annoying you have press a button every 7 seconds. Staff are very rude I go to the gym blow steam off! one time I had just walk out after literally walking in this was caused by the general manager. Don’t even bother replying to my review like you care with a generic copy and paste.

I hope to provide some valuable insight for anyone new to this his gym. * Pros: Plenty of equipment for various fitness levels. 24/7 * Cons: Limited space, leading to crowding and stuffiness. Lack of air conditioning. Changing room cleanliness is just okay, with small and cramped spaces. Unpleasant experiences in the toilets, including broken fixtures and cleanliness issues. Some lockers have broken hinges, possibly from attempted break-ins. Showers are not always clean, and there are only a few warm one, also if you like a cold shower this hasn't got one. Not uncommon for showers do get faulty, and get placed out of use. Studio space can get dark, and feel gloomy, there are issues with the management of classes such as when gym users want to access the studio. it's not uncommon to get power cuts here, it's happened twice here in Oct and Nov. (2023) * Concerns: Lack of communication about the holiday closure. Unequal attention from male personal trainers toward new female members. Management and personal trainers may prioritize new females over others. Unprofessional behaviour from personal trainers, including abrupt requests to vacate equipment. Unfriendliness and showing off mentally of some of the PTs and staff at times is unprofessional. *Recommendation: Mixed recommendation depending on timing and personal preferences.

I attended a personal training session on a weekday evening. The instructor, in a black shirt, was unfriendly and made people uncomfortable. Additionally, he only instructed me to complete the training sets without offering any suggestions for training plan.

Very dirty and poorly maintained. Have seen the manager ( tall mixed race man) smoking weed next to the gym multiple times (i work in the starbucks next door). Which probably explains why the cleaning standards are so low in the gym.

Changing rooms are clean but could be bigger, the Toilets are always decently clean and there is a few just incase people are using them. Equipment wise it has pretty much everything you need, its lacking a calf machine and some other equipment but nothing groundbreaking. The Staff are friendly and qualified, always doing their job and helping others. The Enviroment is nice and friendly, sometimes it gets busy but its manageable. Now, the only real negative, and IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. The branch is in Camden Town High Street, which is full of homeless and drugged up people, the doors to the branch are unlocked, you can just push it open, there are always these smelly and dirty druggy / homeless people inside the branch at the stairs and elevator, this is not something you want to experience when you come to a place to work out or exercise, especially when they smoke and drink alcohol inside, please get permanent security or have the doors locked unless you enter with your PIN. Thank You.

I’m almost 1 years of my life traning….. And is my first gym in my life !! I feel so comfortable welcome on this gym all the equipment are super new and good positions on every section The management is such helpful full to explain everything and how the machine Should be used !!!!! I will say many thanks for changing my ispiration!!!!! PureGym Camden front of the station 💪💪💪💪💪💪

as an experienced gym goer of over 10 years i would say this gym is average at best. quite low level PTs who dont really look like they know what they're doing anthony the gym manager is a cool guy but he really needs to stop sneaking out to smoke spliffs in the fire exit, everyone can smell it on him!!! its a really bad look not just for the gym but puregym as a whole

As most of the comments already said how a commercial gym brand buy and ruin a good gym .... So much of the great kit is gone Hack squat Seated calf raise Seated leg curls Adjustable pulley machine So many good weight machine!!! (The hammer strength yellow kit ) The two saunas... male and woman The thérapie room Many many many toilets The mirrors The space in the changing rooms... We were told pure gym will bring us progress ... we got the same problems ... and worst... Dodgie steps in the staircase, and now the lift don’t work Plumbing issues we used to have with soho I am really questioning the redesign... there is barely enough mirrors... The deadlift platform stuck against a wall And with a mirror on the side is a real liability We waited two months for some padded floor by the stretching area... I have tried to contact pure gym before the transition happened (when it was still soho gym) and asked to speak with someone to keep certain machine and replace some others ... I was told to talk to the gym manager... i did That on the first day of the preview opening and the gym manager told me to talk to pure gym customer service ... and that once the gym will start to make money they will invest more The money was definitely invested in the wrong place to start with... The customer service asked me to talk to the gym manager... Basically getting bounced back and forth... So many PT already left the gym... it could have been so much better!! The space Has been managed so badly ... Who ever redesigned this gym definitely do not train and should be sacked ... @ Ru do me a favour get it sorted and stop the generic answer...

Too small too dirty, where are the team? Where are the cleaners?

After my much loved local gym was closed, I reluctantly rejoined after previous poor experience. However, it's been a long time, and much has changed for the better. Under new management, I've been pleasantly surprised. I'm not a fan of large crowded gym floors and entrance pods. That being said, the team at PureGym is excellent and has made me feel welcome. In terms of equipment it's very good and there's enough space even when busy.

New to the area so I thought I’d try the gym yesterday with a day pass. Gym is quite small although it is well equipped and there’s not a long wait to use machines. All staff seem to be cool although there is one who walks around the gym in a slow, robotic manner while looking at people in a very creepy/disturbing way (muscular, light skinned man with the words “GODS GIFT” tattooed on his triceps) not a good look!!

Been a member here for over 12 years before it was a PureGym. I wanted to reach out to the two new managers at the gym who have made a massive difference since they arrived. The gym has been going downhill for years, dirty, noisy and uninterested staff. The new managers and team have massively turned things around and it really shows. They make huge efforts in their cleaning regimes and it’s very impressive, across all areas of the gym and equipment. The atmosphere is much better with less idiots banging and crashing around, especially when doing deadlifts which makes using the gym a pleasure to use. Staff are always on the floor not hiding in their staff room which shows a real professional customer focussed approach. Great work to all the team.

One of the best gyms in Camden, you have many diferent areas here to do anything you want, I think is not the best Pure gym but is perfect to don't lost your training day.

Been a member of this gym for 3 years and just come to use the equipment. Since Anthony has become the new manager I have never felt so welcome at a gym and part of a community. Instantly greeted us with a smile and introduction and offered us any help or feedback we had to give back to improve our gym. This led to a good conversation in deadlifts in which he provided detailed advice to help me with my lifts. I was in fact considering switching gyms to one cheaper and more local, but after speaking with Anthony I can see myself staying here for a long time and look forward to the future of this gym with the new manager at the wheel! 10/10 service :)

I Have been to 13 branches of Puregym along the UK. Camden one is the best. Anthony and his staff the job on the best side.

Staff are very welcoming and helpful. They are there to support and provide assistance for you if needed or not. My experience has been great so far

I put 4 stars because the gym is enough furnished, but the changing room is really thigh and the shower you can choose just hot water, and sometimes it's too hot !

Friendly, welcoming and great place for beginners or amateurs. Good variety of cardio machines, weight machines and free weights. Lots of fitness classes at flexible hours. Lovely personal trainers and team. Helpful membership / one off options to suit different budgets and schedules. Highly recommend!

Overall a good gym. All new equipment, went in around 11.30am and was very quiet. Very small ladies changing rooms, and unisex toilets located on the gym floor which is not ideal - but a still very good gym!

Decent gym - lots of facilities, lots of staff around and open windows overlooking Camden High Street - makes you feel like you're not exercising in a dungeon. Changing rooms are average - a little smaller and cramped than expected but overall it's a positive experience whenever I come.

Really helpful team and good choice of equipment. Gave me what I felt was really good impartial advice and a great deal too. Thanks, in particular to Jacob who I dealt with.

It is a small space, but it is in a very central location. Changing rooms are too small, unfortunate again! Showers are okay, no shower gels though! Optimal time to go is mid morning 10am-12pm and early evening around 3pm-5pm or late night after 8pm. Else it's packed, you will be wandering around waiting for equipments and bumping into people!

Where is this place? Post code is wrong and no image of what the outside looks like

Gym is pretty busy. The male locker room is substandard and too small for the number of men in the gym

Good gym but I think the staff got it a bit too easy - smelly machines sometimes and no toilet paper a lot of the time in the men’s I know they wanna watch me working out looking the best but come on

(Translated by Google) Fantastic location across from the train station. So quick and easy to get to - in seconds. (Original) Emplacement fantastique en face de la gare. Si rapide et facile pour se rendre à - en quelques secondes.

Good equipment, decent number of squat racks and the 5pm shift isn't too packed (apart from Monday/Tuesday)

Gym is small but fully equipped! Would have been a 5 star review if it wasn't for the bad smell coming from the yanga machine **Updated to 5*

This gym had all the equipment you need for a great workout. Staff are very friendly and have sound knowledge.

The men’s toilet is a disgrace. Always a mess and the toilet paper dispenser is broken. It hasn’t been fixed since I started going here months ago. Open 24 hours and it shows. Step it up.

One of the BEST gyms i have visited in a LONG time. 1st Star- I’m a digital nomad and rely on day passes to use gyms. I wasn’t able to get a day pass via the website and Anthony (manager and total STAR of a human being) came out and patiently walked me through getting in. This is a HUGE plus because the last gym I went to, a PT refused me entry and made a BS excuse. 2nd Star- I walked into the studio space which is usually vacant in most places. As I started my practise I was eventually surrounded by 4 other people, each of us doing our own yoga practise. This is extremely rare! I have visited some of the best yoga places in the world and this environment demonstrated greater spiritual practise than I have seen elsewhere. I would prefer to do yoga here than in a studio if this is the community that come here. 3rd Star- Even at lunch time, there was plenty of equipment for members to use. There are also FOUR squat racks here + 2 Smith Machines. THANK YOU FOR HAVING PLENTY OF SQUAT RACKS!! 4th Star- Great clientele who are good with sharing equipment. I’ve watched grown men turn into toddlers when approached to share equipment. None of that here! 5th Star- my check out was 10am but my train wasn’t until 2.30pm. Anthony was kind and generous to allow me to keep my very big suitcases so that I could get into my body. So you can guess where I spent that time, in a very healthy environment. I would love to Camden busy to use this gym. Grassroots, about the people and approachable, which are qualities drained out of the well-being world. Thank you Anthony and team for caring the wellness flag in your part of the world! We need more gyms to care like you do!

Great place to workout. Everything's clean and its open 24h

Generally the gym is not bad. Equipment is decent and it has what I need. Some of the classes are really good however the earliest class is at 7am and for many of us who start work from 8am it doesn't allow time for any morning classes I would expect a gym of this sort to have classes from 6/6.30am. Like many others I prefer to workout in the mornings and from speaking to many others who go to the gym its seems that they would also prefer earlier classes. I have to give a shout out to Panayiotis who delivers the best classes, he's encouraging and motivating and I really I really enjoy his classes!

I am a regular and LOVE the atmosphere

Litterally about 30 lockers in the smallest changing room ever. People waiting for lockers to be available. Everyone is on top of each other. You have to queue to go to the toilet and one was out of service for the men. There is not space in between equipments. Shocked you have to pay premium for this gym. LOL Never again.

Very nice - although it gets a little crowded early in the morning and around evenings. The best time for working out is late at night if you reside nearby. Overall very good gym with new machines and very helpful staff.

(Translated by Google) Rowing machine, trap bar, stepped leather bag, and many more. My brother was benching. The price was a little over one, but it was fun (Original) 로잉머신 트랩바 스텝레더 사낭 등등 다수 존재,,, 랙도 완전 많다. 벤치 하시던 형님이 정말 쎄보였음. 가격은 일권 이마넌 좀 넘지만 나름 즐거웠다

I came on a sunny Sunday afternoon and first thing I see when I enter the building is 2 homeless people hanging out drinking beer and smoking joints. When I left, one was sleeping/passed out. The lift smells of urine, the entire building is poorly lit and there’s only 2 toilets for men. Terrible experience and I doubt I’ll be coming back.

Bought a gym membership but my pin didn’t work. I aired outside the gym during staffed time for 30 minutes and no one showed up.. assistance button does nothing

Changing room way too small

Good gym, rlly satisfied. Its a bit overpriced, could lower it, other than that, fantastic. The music is downright awful so make sure to always bring your headphones.

It’s been the first gym I’ve gone in my life and I was a bit nervous about it. But from the first moment I felt very welcomed by all the team! Great atmosphere and great personal trainers all of them !!! I specially mention Bo (she’s absolutely amazing, experienced and professional and I love her classes!! ) and Daniel (he’s very experienced and also fun ! )

Its a good gym. Yes toilets could be cleaner but other than that lots of space, whitelines to remind about social distancing and lots of light from big windows.

Didnt spend enough time as I went really late but I felt comfortable to workout there

Easy to get to, great environment with good bits of kit. And 24 hours, couldn’t ask for better.

Ellen's classes are excellent. Its all smooth here until something goes wrong, like not being able to get in. The music is just cr@p. Good for the price

If you’re looking for classes AVOID AVOID AVOID. They don’t even bother to cancel them. You showing up and waiting like an idiot. No one even bother to clean in there. Good luck for the future.

Awesome place

Small workout floor and crowded changing area, but great location

Great range of equipment and close to transport

Polska_koala - good gym with good equipment and good amount of space. Sometimes busy but able to handle it

Pros -Price is very good for Camden -clean - Good variety of equipment Cons - changing rooms are very small

(Translated by Google) Sale of sport at the top value for money very satisfactory (Original) Sale de sport au top rapport qualité prix très satisfaisant

I'm a fan of Puregym Camden. The main attraction is the 24 hour opening. Also like some of the older machines that they've thrown in there. Pec Dec, side lateral, back machines and incline press help mix your workouts up a bit if you use the other Puregyms around town. And the walk up those stairs is a good warm up lol.

Cheap but good value. A bit crowded, but close to my home. No better choice.

Love the fact that it's open 24/7 :)

Not a bad facility for the low monthly cost

Decent enough place, has every equipment that I need.

Great Gym, Great Classes and Everything. I was very pleased with the overall experience and positive attitude of instructors who paid attention to individual clients even in group classes. Hence this review.

Loveeeddd

Good gym, lots of crazy camdeners

It all the equipment I need, nice place to work out and very clean

Crowdy in the evenings, but still I rarely wait in line to access a machine. Great deal for the price!

Great gym! wicked Staff. No one in there in terms of gym goers actually pay attention to anyone else meaning you can just get on with your workout

Wasn't too busy, plenty of kit to use. Also nice and clean

(Translated by Google) It goes there is a lot of varied machines of muscu and cardio but no simple framing otherwise it must be paid. (Original) Ca va il y a beaucoup de machines variées de muscu et cardio mais aucun encadrement simple sinon il faut le payer.

(Translated by Google) Good gym (Original) Boa academia

Great gym in an excellent location. I especially like the matted room at the back. There are a few annoyances however: - It is very difficult to find clips to go on the end of barbells. They should buy more and put them in a basket somewhere like they do in some other pure gyms. - The bodyfat% machine in the male changing room doesn't work and there's no sign that says this currently. It still takes your money though. It's only £1 but still if it's broken this needs to be communicated or fixed. Also would love to see them get a few more handles for the cables such as a few W bars.

Pros: (1) Close to where I live, just 10 minutes walk away. (2) Very secure place: entry gates are working well (3) Gym layout is tastefully done (4) The number of equipment that can be used are extensive and there are guides available to gym-awkward people starting up to get fitter so they dont get lost (5) Crowds going there are pleasant Cons: (1) Not the biggest gym so sometimes it can become very crowded (2) In some days there are no staff available to support users. (3) Changing rooms are a bit cramped (lockers on the other hand are spacious - but most of them are used - you probably need to provide more locker space as there are some user bringing their bags with them on the floor as they dont have locker space to use)

What have you done to the cross trainers? They take an hour now to turn on

Nice gym with lots of different machines and equipment. The only drawback is the fact that there is only one deadlift platform.
