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...

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.

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.

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

Tried this gym out, 1 of the worse gyms ive been to, poorly built exercise machine that can malfunction sometimes, out of date cardio equipment, random equipment being left out in random areas of the gym rather then being put back into its original spot.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 ????????????????
