    Frankly speaking, pure gym should be considered as one of the best in the UK,although there is some cons which could be improved. The facilities and devices are good and the price is affordable, 17.99 per month. Some thing that could be an issue is the times in which people should do excersise without staff's observation.

    Decent gym, better free weights area than other Pure. Shame the lockers are nearly all broken.

    I think this is not the best gym in town. It's too small, the atmosphere isn't good, no good music and the equipment are too old however it does the job and i do enjoy my time here

    Great price and good equipment layout. The gym however could use more 10kg plates as they are never available. The last time i used the showers they were reasonably clean, but did smell a bit like sewage which was a bit gross. Otherwise it's a good gym. I'd recommend it.

    Cheap and cheerful. Decent equipment, decent facilities. Annoying busy at peak times, clearly no moderation of numbers and a bit of a free for all but 90% cheaper than David Lloyds? Il take the £120 a month saving ....

    Awesome gym with a great range of quality equiptment. Also fully staffed with attentive personal trianers who are always willing to help. Bonus points for the air con and fresh smell where other local gyms are always humid and smelly.

    Good experience in my few visits so far, but I think they ought to allocate more space for heavy barbell lifting (squat racks/dead lifting platforms, but especially squat racks), and weight lifting in general, as this is very popular at this gym. They have a huge area full of cardio machines that seem to barely get used, but the weight lifting area is relatively busy, and yet there is more space allocated to cardio machines. In general people appear to be using the cardio machines to warm up and warm down around their weight lifting workout.

    Unfortunately there was an person born a male in the female changing room. There are young vulnerable girls getting changed in there. The male was almost about to take a photo in the girls changing room mirror with the young girls in the background but didnt. They then continued to linger around the main door hidden behind the wall. This is not good there should be a seperate place for transgender individuals to get changed e.g a disabled toilet. I and my friends do not feel safe getting changed at the gym.

    No Steam or Sauna. Bad lighting. Not much worth for the cost.

  • 1/5 tom s. 5 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    the one star is for the one male member of staff with a ponytail who is lovely and helpful, everything else guys save your money and pay extra to go elsewhere because this place is awful . the staff are rude and get thrill off having a go at people, the manager woman loves this especially she’s like one of those school teachers she ridiculed a man trying to enter the gym who shared his passcode, who made his whole way there, when she could have just called him. but she gets off on making people feel bad. also the bald man is not nice . the other staff just may as well not be staff, just be PTs, why do you even work here? . The gym itself is not good either, only one bench press, no hack/pendulum squat, no assisted pull-up machine, no hyperextension, so many machines they don’t have, and worst of all now that it’s winter they’ve turned off the AC which makes absolutely no sense since people sweat the same amount, the gym is always filled with a disgusting stench of sweat and the air is think and unable to breathe . however, the people who go to this gym are all lovely and make it worth it for someone like me who can’t afford anything better. in conclusion the staff only care about themselves and their clients, like i said other than the man with the ponytail.

    The initial exposure to the place might not be as you expect it to be as the ground floor is occupied by weights and cable machines. Personally look wise, Northumbria University's gym premise tops it, yet with the number and variations of the machine, Pure gym gets the upper hand. The training staff is supportive and has astonishing amount of knowledge regarding whatever workout style you prefer. In terms of price, student discount is another reason to hit the gym.

  • 5/5 Ehsanul H. 5 years ago on Google
    In my opinion the best gym, always clean and tidy and everything easy to find

  • 5/5 Mariya G. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Aaron O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym with good selection of free weights and machines. Bring a padlock if you want to use the lockers.

  • 5/5 Olivia K. 1 year ago on Google
    Always loved this gym, been going here for years, will always recommend for access, space, equipment, cleanliness and overall great place to exercise.

  • 5/5 Khanali K. 5 years ago on Google
    Cheapest gym membership i've ever had and they usually have offers to join. I don't have to wait to use equipment and its spacious with male/female changing rooms with showers and toilets very clean. Lockers available but requires padlock. I love the vending machines as they have variety of drinks including pre workout shots for £1.50 that gives you a boost for your workout. Weights downstairs where the men usually like to workout but also has some cardio machines there too. Upstairs has treadmills, cross trainers, cycles, rowers, steppers and also various strength machines to workout on. Weights, dum bells and vibo machines also upstairs. Require a 7 digit code to enter gym which you get once registered.

  • 3/5 Thomas o. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location, friendly staff. A little on the small side so there's usually a wait for certain equipment, and theres a few more pieces of equipment they could do with. All in all not a bad Gym at all. Ideal for a quick workout.

    I upgraded my membership to use this gym along with my home gym and was really disappointed with not being able to park near the gym, the car park at the back was full, it took me a good twenty mins to find somewhere near. I did enjoy the class though and felt the burn aftwerwards.

  • 2/5 刘晓琪 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Don't buy the locks sold inside, don't put things in the cabinet, lock the locker door at 12 o'clock in the evening. (I hope the friends know: this gym 12-point locker room will lock the door, things to remember Take away, shampoo, shower gel, do not put the gym, do not buy their own password lock, will be smashed. Nothing.) (Original) Don't buy the locks sold inside, don't put things in the cabinet, lock the locker door at 12 o'clock in the evening.(望广大朋友须知:这健身房12点更衣室会锁门,东西要记得带走,洗发露沐浴露都不要放健身房,也不要买他们自己卖的密码锁,会被撬。东西全没)

    (Translated by Google) One of the most popular sports health clubs, spread all over the UK, the size of the club medium, contains a gym and iron lounge and various equipment for weight lifting and muscle building, running and cardio equipment on the upper floor in addition to the bicycle studio, the value of the subscription is very suitable and have discounts for students Your subscription to the club allows you to benefit from a wide range of free exercise classes (slimming, Swedish, cycle ...) that are held throughout the week (except Sunday) only you need to register through the application of the club or the site or through the devices available In the club, the dressing room has lockers of different sizes, shower rooms and toilets, you just have to bring your own lock, the lock is sold at the club for £ 5, in this branch there is no special room for switching so there is no privacy, of course the club is mixed. The location of the club is good but does not have free parking, the overall atmosphere of the club is very excellent and the ventilation is excellent and the staff is friendly, the club is open 24/7 which is a very great feature, the only problem is the loud music.

    Good number of benches and free weight space. I like the organisation into two levels .

  • 2/5 M. Florencia G. R. 10 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    The gym is nice, the staff is kind and the overall environment is friendly. However, is too small for the amount of clients registered. It's impossible to find some breathable air from 4pm to 9pm. Even late nigh (around 10pm) it's busy and bad ventilated. It's a shame that such an amazing gym is so small. The localisation it's perfect and the price is super fair. I would like to continue but considering the amount of people struggling to fit in a such small place, I'm not sure if I would be able to do so. Sad, super sad.
