I?ve been a member of Newport PureGym for nearly a month now and I must say that I am absolutely loving it. It?s amazing to have 24/7 access to the gym and it has all of the equipment and facilities I need for a great training session be it weight/resistance training or cardio.The gym is kept relatively clean however quite a few of the lockers in the men?s changing room are broken/not functional.The other members are great too and will let you work in if you ask. Sure, there are a few bad apples (the type that take up a piece of equipment, do a few reps and then proceed to use their phone for ten minutes in between sets & don?t clean their sweat off the equipment. Some people also think it?s okay to hog a piece of equipment for 30/40 mins to do endless sets without letting anyone else work in) but you get this at every gym and it?s no fault of PureGym. These people are a tiny minority though. 99% of members are great though!The price is great and you get access to loads of classes and Yanga water so if you are looking for a reasonable place to get in great shape then you can do a lot worse than Newport PureGym.

This is a great gym, with enough equipment to save you waiting even when it's pretty busy. Most of the equipment also includes user instructions if you're not sure. It's 24 hour access and it is unstaffed after 6ish I think and but manned with cameras and emergency help points to make calls. This is great as sometimes I turn up as late as 9pm and leave gone 11pm.Its members seem respectful and courteous waiting their turn or checking if you're finished before using equipment. I'm a guy but I've noticed the layout seems quite well thought out, particularly for women - as the equipment they typically use is collected together in different sections, leaving them to work out in peace without them being eye candy. Even the male and female changing rooms are on different sides of the building. They include lockers, but you'll need to bring your own lock.The gym offers free parking with your membership which is arranged with the kingsway shopping center carpark, there's no drama or questioning, you just scan your ticket at the car park office before you leave.Overall a great gym, although the showers could be better.

Worst Puregym around, absolute mess. No parking meter machine working, also had no water machine working.Weights were everywhere all over the floor not in there place on the shelves. This was at 11am!!After reading other review i thought no way it cant be that bad?. It is?

Good gym. Weekend evenings are not the best place to workout due to the gym being unstaffed and people bringing food inside from local takeaway places.

Instructors great! Location great!Open 24/7 great!Cleanliness not so great, showers are always dirty and count yourself lucky if they are warm thats if they are working only see one lady cleaning she does her best but more cleaners more often needed. As for the equipment its a losing battle new equipment has been added yet its not enough for the amount of members its so hard to work out even if its quite plus no logic in layout. I'm shocked no-one has passed out from how hot and close it is no windows or air-conditioning.

It's very intimidating for women to do the weights section as there's usually loads of men peacocking that don't put their weights away and staff don't tend to be seen, there's usually a few machines that don't work. The ticket machine also hasn't worked in weeks which is now very frustrating.

Went there for the first time today. Not to busy at that time. I haven't got much experience in gym but from my point of view was alright. Like it.

Recently joined Puregym, and I'm already loving it! The fact that it's a 24-hour gym means I can go whenever I feel like it, which is great because my schedule is always hectic.The machines are all in good condition and well-maintained. There is also an array of classes available for those who prefer group exercise. The staff is friendly and helpful, so I never feel lost or overwhelmed when using the equipment.

Location is good, being in the town centre, and you get 2 hrs parking free. Showers are clean and tidy and the upstairs space has plenty of decent equipment.The biggest problem for me is the free weight section. The weights are NEVER where they should be- and almost always thrown around on the floor. I don?t know if it?s just the gymbro-cavemen who can?t seem to put their weights away or if it?s also the staff who can?t be bothered to tidy, but I?m constantly spending 5 minutes trying to find a matching pair of dumbbells whilst trying not to trip over discarded barbells.I get that during unmanned hours this can?t really be policed, but it doesn?t seem to matter what time I go. I spent 5 minutes putting away tripping hazards this morning- if everyone put away their weights properly I wouldn?t need to do it for them.Other than that, the gym is fine.

Good gym with loads of equipment. As it's good and quite cheap, there are plenty of people using it. In result even going there at 9 pm, I'm struggling to get a free bench to do my workout.There is a free car park for 2 hours, which is great, but the trouble is that after 9 PM, easy access through Kingsway Shopping Centre is closed. You can only get thre via outside carpark gates with a weirdly complicated staircase, which means that you'll get wet when it is raining.Otherwise, I can highly recommend that gym.

Overall good gym considering the value for money! Experience varies depending on whether you go at busy or quiet times, because the gym is not equipt enough. For example, there are limited plates, they have been adding more recently which has helped. Also during busy times the gym can get very warm, upstairs especially. A hack squat would also be good to add and more squat racks as often I find myself not able to do what I planned due to lack of squat racks. The recent addition of a hip thruster has been a good addition. The gym is generally clean and the cleaning stations are well stocked toilets and showers are decent for a gym. The staff and personal trainers that are around are generally friendly. During off peak times there is lots of room and a fair variety of equipment.

Nice but very busy and unfortunately not enough equipment!
