Have been training all my life, even when this gym was "la fitness", but Puregym for the day i started 2 yrs ago, has been my faourite EVER gym - im 57, so i reckon i know about training, by now.Theyve got 4 or 5 machines, which make all the difference, as well as smiths machines, normal benches, lots of stuff. Brilliant.You can always get on something, even when its busy, but if you go at quiet times, there is too much to choose form. Soemtimes i jsut go in for 15 or 20 miutes, if i can get on the right machines and burn out on them, then i just go home, satisfied.A brilliant place.

A below average Pure GymContext: I've been using pure gym for over 4 years now, I've been to roughly 25 locations across the country, and this one is in my top 3 for worst pure gyms.Pros:-Free Parking-Clean and good size changing room.-Still cheap considering the current market.-Freindly Staff-Free, decent wifi (They Use O2 wifi which is much faster and less restrictive than the Puregym wifi used at other gyms)Cons:-Awful and inconistent gym layout (will talk more about this later)-Lacking in some equipment, and excessive amounts of others-Not 24 hours (I get its located near residential but the place is pretty much soundproof and pubs are open less than a mile away till much later)-Awful Music (generic modern pop dribble)-Only 2 doors to get out and one is usually broke (Happend a good 5 times this year that I can count).-Biased air con (some areas like the tredmill room are very cool, others the unit isn't even turned on)The layout is really what ruins this gym. I dont understand the thought process of the person who designed this but its utterly idiotic.So upstairs you have a room full of treadmills, a room full of crosstrainers, a cycle class room full of bikes, a row of rowing machines, and then a little room with some chest, shoulder, bicep, tricep and hip machines. You also have the class for lessons and a little area with yoga mats.Then you go downstairs, you have a room with squat racks, a deadlift platform, Smith machines, a bench press, a leg press , a pull up/ dip station and a seated bicep curl rack?You then have a room full of about 15 benches and free weights, with a leg press machine, hamstring curl machine and leg extension machine.Finally you have a little area that has 2 cable machines, an assisted pull up dip machine, 2 lat pull downs and some back row machines. Then for some reason, this room has a calf press machine???So to do a full lower body workout, you'd have to go to almost every area of the gym? Going up and stairs during a leg day is never ideal.The same goes for upper too.I just don't get the choices made. Like one cable machine is on the complete opposite side of the gym, so if your missing the extension requiren you gotta do a whole lap and hope it doesn't get stolen whole ur gone.Surley it makes more sense to have all the lower body equipment in the same room, and have all 3 cable machines together also.There are space restctions, but the layout could be heavily improved.They also need to increase and decrease certain bits of equipment.Usually when I go, all benches are taken, however not once have i been there and all crosstrainers have been in use, its excessive, especially considering all the bikes and treadmills too.The gym only has one flat bench, which is Ludacris, and 1 or 2 more cable machines could be added upstairs next to the existing one.The gym needs a redesign, and more investment in weightlifting equipment, do this and the gym would be massively improved.3 stars is fair.

Attracts some undesirable rude people. I?ve seen visitors being rude to others and today it happened to me. I couldn?t even say anything because the guy looks like he sniffed cocaine and causes riots at football matches as his main profession.Equipment is old and rusty.The gym has various different sections which I like. But could be zoned better. For instance an area upstairs has arm machines, but randomly has 2 (the only 2) hip abductor machines. Functional area if you can call it that, has poor selection of weights, Dumbbells up to 10kg. They definitely could make more use of that space.The have plenty cardio machines, more than I?ve seen at other pure gyms. Doubt I?ll be going back to this gym, due to the attitude of some visitors and the way they hog the machines.Staff are virtually non existent and I?ve been going between 3-5pm, so surprised not to see staff there.

Got a day pass to come here with 02 priority. Infuriating that the code didn't work, had to ask for help every time I wanted to go in and out. Codes for everything, which for me with the day pass, didn't make it easy. But the gym, equipment was great. Lots of equipment, nice vibe and kept clean. Friendly atmosphere too.

I?d been with PureGym for 5 years and this branch steered me clear of the brand for good. The gym?s culture from the bottom to the top is rotten and it really shows every time you visit. From weights not tidied away to ?which piece of equipment will be broken ,and take several weeks to be repaired or replaced this time??. Members often don?t return weights or equipment to the correct place, leaving you to go searching or clean up after them. This lack of regard is mirrored by staff and management, who do nothing to combat this culture and when issues are raised, offer nothing but empty promises. The last time I visited the AC wasn?t even on in the area I was training in and of course a piece of equipment had developed a fault! The gym also suffers from overcrowding due to its limited size and available equipment. I would suggest avoiding this gym unless you would like and underwhelming, unreliable and unbearable experience. P.s. take a look at the images I snapped before leaving for the final time.

Very popular Gym which means it's difficult to get on equipment. Some of the CV machines wobble as you use them and need levelling. The gym was also recently closed due to flooding (the car park is often a huge puddle after rain). The equipment is set out in a weird way as well over 2 floors. There was a much better layout when it was an LA fitness. I'm not going back!

I've been going almost everyday for nearly 2 years so this gives me licence to comment and review this gym accordingly.Facilities do not meet demand, equipment like ropes goes missing for weeks and is full of broken machines.Was not always this bad but in last month or so it's really gone downhillReally concerning, sad to see. Good luck getting a good weight based here, not a place for anyone who takes it seriously due to lack of proper working equipment and overcrowding. Staff will respond to this review no doubt with same copy paste comment about "app times" but I attend this gym in the week at various timesToday I just hit boiling point with how shoddy it is here

Used to like coming to this gym now most of the machines are constantly broken and not serviced properly and regularly. Most of the treadmills are malfunctioning and now they also stopped cleaning sprays and towels, its so unhygienic. The antibacterial spray pumps are useless and nothing comes out after 20 pumps. The manager dont seem to care about any issues. The gym is always rammed out now a days, If these issues are not resolved im moving to another gym.

This is the best PureGym I've been too. There is loads of equipment and it is new and well maintained. The Aircon is very good for the summer and the car park is easy to get to and has plenty of spaces.

A very poor gym. Often has things broken, like lifting equipment which takes on average two to four weeks to repair, as well as simple things like hand dryers which can be out for up to two months!People often leave their weights laying around without any repercussions.Management isn't strong enough, with PT's being part of the problem rather than setting an example.

Absolute disaster, if you want to do a workout to build muscle you have better chances in park on free equipment. Every single machine and bench is taken. If you have 5h a day you can go there and do one muscle group at a time. Sutton PureGym, please limit members at one time, or do not accept memberships you can not handle. Will look for another gym ASAP

There isn't enough equipment in comparison to the number of members who attend this gym. It's really busy all of the time and most of the equipment you can't use because of it. The place is clearly over subscribed, they also do classes on the gym floor which takes up 50% of the running machines etc which makes equipment even more scarce. The gym is clean and the staff seem nice enough but there's far better gyms out there for the same price so I wouldn't recommend.

The lateral shoulder machine is not properly serviced got more resistance on the one side and both large and small cable machines there's more resistance from the cable/belt than the weight itself. Cable machines are the bread and butter of anyone trying to build a good physique and by far the best to engage through the full range of motion there is no excuse for dragging on cables/guide rods or on seated machine especially on one side. It literally takes 2 minutes to spray abit of lube on the guide rods problem solved.
