DO NOT BUY THE PURE GYM PADLOCK!!!!!NO HELP FROM PURE GYM MANAGEMENT. ALL VALUABLES REMOVED AND STOLEN FROM LOCKERS WITH PURE GYM LOCKS. I went to the gym late last night and had all my things removed and moved to the second section of the lockers and the lock was stolen. Many other gym goers had their wallets and valuables stolen. See images of all the lockers with pure gym locks opened. Buy a decent lock NOT A PURE GYM LOCK. I called the pure gym emergency number and they did nothing. By a 6-7mm shackle high security lock from Amazon.

Update: the middle stepper machine has been broken for several weeks possibly months. Still a filthy gym and lockers with pure gym locks get broken into now.I've never been in such a smelly and poorly ventilated gym, it's disgusting.Update: nothing was done to improve the condition of the gym, now there is a fly infestation! See images attached.

ABSOLUTELY THE FILTHIEST, MOST DISGUSTING AND SMELLIEST GYM ON PLANET EARTH. I've used many gyms, most are generally clean, the main smell usually comes from smelly people who don't know what shower gel and anti perspirant are. However, this is the first time I've been in a gym where the gym smells worse than the SMELLIEST person. To make matters worse there is now a fly infestation. Mark my words I will be reporting this to the council. Pure gym you are a company who should have more concern for the condition of your product. This is absolutely unhealthy and unacceptable.

Been reporting nicely since beginning of winter that the showering experience on males changing room is not enjoyable at all. Heating system hasn?t been on at all at anytime and it?s freezing in there. When I reported it to staff it seem like they wanted to save the heating cost.But this made me write a review today, as the previous comet says. Walls full of flies in male changing rooms, it looks poor and gross. See on the pictures?(Heating on would make humidity disappear therefore no flies would be around)

Used this gym for a 3 month period from September 2022 - December 2022.The gym itself is okay - nothing more, nothing less. The cardio area is sufficient, a decent number of treadmills etc and the upstairs floor has the majority of machines you'd need and a good number of cables. The downstairs free-weights area is quite small though, perhaps about 8-10 benches maximum but does have a wide set of dumbbells. There could definitely be more squat racks though and I also don't recall seeing a smith machine.In terms of my experience with the gym, busy is an understatement. When I went it was a 24/7 gym but I've since read this has changed so I can only imagine it's gotten worse. I worked a 9-5 and I'm not committed enough to come before work so my only option was to come afterwards - initially I would go around 6-7pm (peak time) and it was chaos. Minimum 2/3 people waiting for a machine at any point. Barely a space to move on the upstairs floor and literal queues to use the downstairs free weights floor. After time I began to start going much later, around 10pm and it was okay - not quiet by any means but good enough to get a solid workout in. I believe this is the only 'budget' gym in the area which explains the business.Elsewhere the male changing rooms encountered problem after problem. Not only were they filthy, they regularly needed refurbishment - this must've happened at least 4 times in the 3 months I was there.Would I recommend this gym? Well If you're in the area and you're not on a crazy salary to afford one of the nicer gyms, this is all you can realistically afford so I guess I'd have to

*Update*Unfortunately I'm having to downgrade this gym as Pure has recently cut the opening hours so that the gym opens from 6am week days and 8am at weekends, without providing a rationale to members. As someone who was getting to the canary wharf Pure gym before those times to fit training around work commitments, this change has left this gym much less convenient. The group of people who used to train before 6am were dedicated, tidy and not poor 'customers' so this change doesn't seem to make sense. Otherwise the gym remains a very good venue.Pure Gym at Canary Wharf is the best mainstream commercial gym I've been a member of in the last 20 or so years. It has plenty of each type of equipment and lots of spaces where you can do cardio activities. It's clean and roomy, and the temperature is nice. The location is excellent and the staff helpful.The only things that get a negative from me are that sometimes the vending machines stop recognising bank cards so you can't grab the snack or drink you were after, and the music is bad and too loud, so do bring earphones.I use the mobile app to see how many people are there and tend to arrive about 5.45am to miss the busier times.

The gym has changed from 24/7 to closing at 10pm without further notice. The main reason why I joined Pure gym years ago was because of the flexibility and being able to go to the gym between 10pm to 12am. Given the location in Canary Wharf where a lot of professionals are based in I can't understand how Pure Gym think closing the gym at 10pm is suitable for the majority of its audience.

Was a good gym up until they changed the opening times from 24/7 to 6am-10pm on weekdays and 8am-8pm on weekends. They have provided access to Limehouse however if I wanted to go to Limehouse I would have joined that site instead initially. If they are changing the hours they should reduce the membership price. The reasoning for closing the gym is because they noticed lower usage at night hours. However when I would attend at midnight there would be around 40 people at the site. That is still a high enough number to keep the gym open in my opinion. At least keep the gym open until 1am 7 days a week if you have to reduce hours! Now if I want to go to the gym there is over 100 people in the night hours and I have to wait for equipment making me question my membership.

Been a member here for 18 months and enjoyed it until this year. There's 90 people now in the gym, which is about four times as many as I'd see last year. Everyone's on top of each other and you're just waiting constantly. This must be down to the change of hours, which has meant everyone's crammed in at once because the gym for some reason is now shut a third of the time. They've also not dropped the price.Feel bad for the staff because they've no responsibility over this but they're taking the flak. Massively irritating that I have to change gyms from one so convenient because this one is now unusable.

Impossible to train now as from 6pm it is sooooooo busy until close at 10:00pm. Watching the app I went at 9pm as late as I could, hoping it would be quieter. But there was still 115 people in! So hard to train. Also, from 9:30pm you start to get chased out like rats. Limehouse is not convenient, hence why I signed up to Canary Wharf. Last week, I checked how busy the gym was when I left at 10:30pm during the week (before you started closing early) and you still had 40 people inside!! 40! The hours you have picked make no sense and does not work. Maybe there is no one in at 3am, but look at the data from 10-11pm. There is more than enough people inside to warrant keeping it open. Too hard now, I am cancelling my membership.

Morning until night always busy, it looks like they oversold the memberships. Only reasonable slot seems to be 15-17 if you manage to skip some meetings. Very frustrating when literally every bench and machine is occupied and you circle around wasting time and waiting for anything to be free. From plus side there is a lot of equipment.

I have only been going to this branch since about May the equipment and layout is great. However I would not recommend as a place to have a post workout shower as there is an awful smell in the mens changing room and of the 8 showers only 3 have worked since I joined.
