    Good Gym. What you'd expect really. There's a disability toilet downstairs as well as a lift to take you up to the shower rooms if you struggle. There's a good variety of cardio and weight lifting equipment as well as cleaning stations to wipe down your equipment, staff are sometimes in the office if you need assistance and there's classes everyday. The app gives you routines to try out at the gym and track your visits. Theres even deals where you don't need to pay a return fee. Worth the money in my opinion.

    I could only describe this gym as meh, there is nothing special about it. A lot of cardio equipment and the basics with resistance machines. A relatively large free weights area with a good amount of racks. The positive about this gym is the opening hours, 24/7 and staff are helpful when I’ve required assistance.

    Big spacious, good looking, clean gym where you can meet great people! 4 squat rigs, plenty of benches and dumbbells with variety of machines. Totally recommend!

    Gym classes are too loud. I had to cut my workouts short multiple times due to the instructors microphone and music volume. I couldn't hear my own music, the volume gave me a headache and it generally made the environment frustrating and uncomfortable. You're not teaching the whole gym! Also, you should want to take care of your members and staff hearing!

    Very good use of the floor space, equipment is well spaced and feels comfortable to be here. It didn't seem crowded and I didn't feel rushed or uneasy like I have in some other gyms. The staff were on hand to help and seem genuinely nice and offered assistance to many people which is refreshing.

    Large and accessible gym with plenty of machines and free weights. The staff are helpful, efficient and approachable. Even at the busy times there is plenty of space and you don't usually have to wait long for equipment. I only have a couple of niggles: The lockers need padlocks but a lot of people leave them unlocked, which is annoying as you have to open every one to find one free. Another thing is that the free weights are put back in the wrong places, and because there are so many of them it makes it difficult to find them. Fix these two issues and I'll make it 5 stars instead of 4.

    For value for money I think PureGym is miles ahead of the competition. The gym is open 24/7. I can't tell you how many times that has come in handy. The Preston venue is clean as can be expected. The gym has many machines and loads of free weights. Highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Gino C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this gym purely for the convenience of it being 24/7. Prime times awkward as free weights section you are waiting for like 10 min between exercises for queues. Machines generally okay. Non judgemental and all sorts of people come. Cheap also. So if your not a fitness maniac and not in a rush. Why not be here? πŸ’²πŸ’²

    The gym appears to be well equipped and modern. However, there are uneven numbers of some weights which made it difficult to find a set, some values of kettlebells were not in the gym (14kg) and the showers were unclean and smelly. Quite a lot of equipment was left out around the gym (PTs seemingly ignoring in). There are plenty of resistance and cardio machines and a good space for sled pushes, a good size studio and a spin studio.

  • 5/5 Paul C. 4 months ago on Google
    Plenty of equipment, helpful staff. Lots of classes throughout the week. Great for the price.

  • 2/5 Laine B. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym is good, wish there were more cardio machines. Unfortunately the cleaning stations are not well maintained, the pump handles are dirty and not many bottles are filled with cleaning solution. Also this evening, the flavoured water machine spat out a chunk of dirt into my, thankfully, clear bottle - the machine has clearly not been, maintained/cleaned correctly if at all. Is this not a health hazard?!

  • 3/5 Ashir 1 year ago on Google
    Been a member for years but unfortunately has got worse over time. Weights all over the place and no staff members in sight to help or advise you on anything. One of the overhead lights in the free weights area doesn't work so the area isn't well lit at all. I recently joined the Everlast gym in Deepdale and it outshines Pure Gym by miles (although it still has its issues). PG needs to up its game or it will lose a large percentage of its customers.

  • 1/5 Georgia R. 1 year ago on Google
    The worst place I have ever been to. People are so inconsiderate. Staff and others just decide to walk in front of you, stop and have a natter with their pals whilst you’re in the middle of something. The people who use the gym slam the weights right next to you as loud as possible and then don’t put any weights back. Hands down the worst gym I’ve ever been to.

  • 5/5 Pratik K. 10 months ago on Google
    I love Pure Gym! The facilities are top-notch, and the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 ALAN B. 8 months ago on Google
    Was shown around by Eve the manager, she was both informative about the equipment and exercises and how to benefit most from using them. Eve was also extremely approachable and easy to talk to and ask questions when necessary, I would happily return here again to train πŸ˜ŠπŸ™ŒπŸ’ͺ

  • 1/5 Danar B. 8 months ago on Google
    You have a really bad security. Your cameras don't work. If you lose something or damage your car, they don't do anything. There are many thieves in the cafe and they steal people's things. Yesterday they broke the lock of my clothes and took my wallet and wallet containing many important things. That's the worst securityπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘ŽπŸ‘Ž

  • 5/5 safa m. 6 months ago on Google
    While occasionally crowded, gets the job done. The helpful staff and the impressive variety of well-maintained machines make it a solid choice. The equipment is in excellent condition, and there's always a machine available (mostly)

  • 5/5 ali t. 8 months ago on Google
    Carla's classes were always creative and fun, incorporating a variety of exercises and techniques that kept me engaged and challenged. She introduced me to new exercises that I had never tried before, which helped me to break out of my comfort zone and push myself harder. Thanks Carla

  • 3/5 zoe c. 2 years ago on Google
    Omg such a lovely gym, has all your basic gym equipment, I wanna work on glutes more than what this gym can provide so I might just join a body building gym, but people here are friendly, staff are so friendly and only too happy to help, the assist manager however when I approached her today and asked her tips on how to zone out when you find a guy looking at you as I find it really unnerving, she undermined me a little and kept saying "he is probably not looking at you" which would of been fair enough but I did say that one gent I've caught him a few times looking, it wasn't an unpleasant exchange with the manager or assistant manager whomever she is, but she just didn't seem to care for the point I was trying to make with that being said.. she is generally a lovely person with a happy demeanor from what I've seen around the gym my short time at pure but I just didn't like feeling like my point wasn't valid especially as a woman training in the gym on her own, I felt vulnerable.

  • 5/5 Rebecca M. 5 months ago on Google
    Simply love a nice clean well maintained gym, thanks guys the staff hear are the best, always happy to help, can be busy but we'll worth it

  • 5/5 Aimee T. 8 months ago on Google
    Carla’s classes are fantastic. She changes it up each week so you never get bored. She works us hard but I always leave feeling good. Her energy and motivation keep you coming to the class week on week.

  • 4/5 Kieron S. 4 months ago on Google
    Hi it is Amy Shorrock a member. I would like to request that the morning 6:30 classes be 45 mins long. This is because with a warm up and a cool down this doesn’t allow for much actual exercise. Currently there is only one 45 min class available at 6:30. There are other members who have also commented they would prefer 45. Many thanks

  • 5/5 Hannah M. 11 months ago on Google
    Absolutely love it here great place and I'm a first time person going to any gym the staff are so helpful and friendly and professional would recommend to any first time gym phobic people

  • 1/5 Muhammad K. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely disgusting place they increase price every year but if something is broken in gym you should wait for ages and you can't use the equipment. They are so careless about everything. Even in disable toilet the water tab is broken and they have put note there that you should use a toilet upstairs because we don't bother to repair it . Seriously, come on have some respect for disable people please it's been months and you can't repair a water tap shame on you guys.

  • 3/5 Gerry T. 1 year ago on Google
    Gym is great with and new range of equipment bur would recommend that the classes that are held in the bike studio are to have the volume turned done quite a bit as it is distracting and also pushes everyone away from those equipment that are held there and would need more mirrors for the squat racks as it help to check from and your general surroundings.

  • 5/5 Yaseen P. 1 year ago on Google
    Even better than it already was since the refurb, shiny new equipment, more space dedicated to the weights area too! Overall great gym, great staff, and great atmosphere

  • 4/5 Adam S. 1 year ago on Google
    Good gym for cardio based workouts, lots of equipment and very clean. If you’re looking for a cheap but we’ll kept gym to do cardio this is your place. Otherwise if you want to use free weights I’d recommend looking elsewhere as that section is very limited.

  • 5/5 Polina K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very welcoming and friendly staff. I have only just joined but so far am happy with the look of equipment and workout areas, and the instructors are fab!

  • 3/5 Chris E. 1 year ago on Google
    The free weight area is disgusting early hours of the morning. Weights just left all over the floor. Cleaner do there best to clean it. And they do a geeat job.It is the same people who are leaving it in a mess. And evidence has been submitted to management by the cleaner and nothing gets done. The gym has CCTV , so why isn't management monitoring the situation and dealing with the culprits. At the moment the way this gym is being run, it is only going to get worse. During the day it is fine. But its early hours of morning that people make the mess. Needs sorting fast.

  • 5/5 Phoenix A. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic gym! Friendly and welcoming to all people. Personal Trainers here are pretty great and helpful. Been here for 2 weeks so far and it's not intimidating for new people whatsoever!

  • 2/5 Lynne 2 years ago on Google
    A reasonable gym However, it does need to get a grip on it's cleaning, the gym is not as clean as it was, a lot of the time the cleaning stations need filling up and cleaned themselves. And it would help if the personal trainers got their clients to wipe down the equipment after using them,which they aren't doing

  • 5/5 Natalie E. 1 year ago on Google
    I do love my Puregym, classes, staff are great. Recently tho, I've noticed the cleanliness of the place is lacking. The sanitizer before u enter the main doors is filthy. I dont even want to sanitize my hands, probably catch something from it. The one table and chair near the accessible toilet was filthy too. The sanitizing stations need a good clean too. Spray bottles in particular. And the drink holders on equipment. Everything else, perfect. Good value.

  • 5/5 Yvonne H. 2 years ago on Google
    I've been 4 times now and feel comfortable and welcome there.

  • 4/5 Alex Just A. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent gym, everything you'd need for hypertrophic training. Even when busy long as you're patient and don't hover usually you'll only wait 5-10 minutes max and that's if you're really stubborn on what you want to use. It's well stocked well cleaned and it looks like they have a couple staff who know some entry level PT knowledge. (Have seen some PT's teaching some very poor technique) Cleaning stations are awesome and often restocked, my only gripe is the heat in the gym, the building has what appears to be ventilation running across the span of the gym but it seems to be non functioning or left off. Combo that with a charge for tap water and I see a dangerous business strategy for newcomers who didn't realize they need to bring a lot of water due to the unnatural heat and humidity.

  • 5/5 Stella A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym, just a heads up - the changing rooms close at 12 AM (although the gym is open 24/7). I almost forgot on my first day there πŸ˜…

  • 4/5 Ojash S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place. 24/7 service is what's essential.

  • 5/5 Sara P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great to return to pure gym. I felt safe as a lady training alone, everywhere adhering to covid regulations, cleaning stations everywhere to wipe equipment down after use and staff helpful and friendly. I'm glad I joined again and I'm looking forward to achieving my fitness goals.

  • 1/5 Kane T. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down the worst gym I have ever stepped foot in. Hardly any equipment and what equipment it does have is very poor. Anyone who wants to train anything other than cardio is better off avoiding this gym...
