I have been to a few gyms now and again so I checked this one out to see if I would join. I went a…read morefew times and always found it to be nice and spacious, friendly gym with not too many gym maniacs about so you can go and work out without feeling too intimidated. There is a great pool with a steam room and a jaccuzzi to chill out in after a big work out which is an improvement on fitness first, but the same service is available at the leisure centre, which is a bit cheaper as well. Its £30 a month for off peak, which isn't great, especially if you work full time because you wouldn't be able to go much. Good gym overall, but a bit pricey.

There are so many gyms and fitness clubs in the Bangor area which makes it hard to choose the one…read morethat suites best. For me there is no choice ,DW sport comes up trumps. It has such a lot going for it. There is a great range of equipment which is always well maintained. I think the pool is an added bonus where one can go for a leisurely swim or have fun in one of the aquaroebics classes. A relaxing session in one of the two jacuzzis can be the climax of any workout. The staff are very friendly and always someone on hand for help or advise . There are well qualified trainers available for that one to one training. Booking can be done on line for specific classes such as yoga / palates. The changing rooms are spacious and well equipped with lockers and showers which are always clean and well maintained. There is a cafe which has a good range of food to suite all tastes. Members are entitled to a discount on any purchase from the sports store. All in all this gym has it all so no excuse not to give it a go! And by the way if u are an OAP there is a reduction in the monthly fee.

This place has changed a lot since the dark days of Fitness First. The layout is a bit strange, you…read morecould get lost in here pretty quickly. It's like a maze with weights machines hiding around every corner. Although I don't use them, they offer a good variety of classes. It's also open 24/7 which suits me. I only use the weights area which has everything I need. It's usually empty but I don't go at peak times. One thing which really impresses me about Pure Gym is how tidy it is, there's a place for everything and everything is in it's place. Unlike other gyms where you have to go hunting for your weights whilst tripping over dumbbells that have been abandoned by their last user. It's not the most glamorous gym in the world, you won't find any steam rooms or jacuzzis in here. But a tidy, quiet gym will do me and at £19 a month you can't really go wrong!

If I could give this gym less than one star I would! I was visiting from out of the country and…read morecouldn't sign up for a day pass without a UK phone number. There were no members of staff around to let me in or chat about my issue with. They told me they didn't have a parking pass for me so they couldn't let me use the facilities. WORST GYM EVER. Worst customer service ever, all for a pretty average gym with subpar facilities.

Pure Gym is a great gym and has a decent range of equipment. Its largely in good condition but over…read morethe last few months there have been few times where several machines were offline for repair. Also there seems to have been a few times where the changing rooms and showers have been closed for days at a time for upgrades/repairs etc. That said the gym is big and copes quite well at busy times and the staff and PTs are excellent. The range of classes included in your membership are good and are mostly free as said or at least just a small fee.

I went to this gym a couple of times with my friend Michael who is an athlete and never really…read morewanted to go back. Its very much a gym for people for are very, very serious about working out and I found it a little bit intimidating for people who just want to work out to keep in shape. Its all pretty stereotypical with shaven headed men with massive necks and shoulders doing massive weights and standing about talking to eachother. There is very little in the way of atmosphere and its very unwelcoming. You would never feel comfortable asking for help and I can't imagine it would be much fun being a girl in this place.

You can get as good results as any other gym. However, it is very overpriced, but you end up leaving feeling rather ill. The place is filthy. The showers are fungus infested, and probably have not been cleaned since the days of Mike Bulls. The place is in terrible order, yet as stated previously it is a functional gym with expertise of the the owner. Most of the machines are about 45 years old, yet who cares. They do the job. For a pleasurable (and cheaper) experience it is best to go to one of the other gyms where facilities are better. In adddition, the sauna has been broken for ages. Yet Paul's gym is a gym for the hard-core trainers and again, perhaps such facilities are a gimmick. owever, if Pauls gym spruced itself up it would probably lose its clientel who probably love the grimey nature of the place. Good points: Expertise of the owners The machines 'do the job' Bad points: Unwelcoming Overpriced Absolutely filthy The sauna is broken

Artistic gymnastics like you see at the olympics, acrobatics a la Spelbound, cheerleading, adult classes and loads more are offered by this club. Very competitvely priced, kids pay per term depending on what class they want to join. Youngest daughter goes for about 12 hours a week and quite simply adores it. This building is the classic case of why you should not judge a book by the cover.....awful on the outside and a wee gem internally. Over 650 kids can't be wrong. www.rathgaelgym.org

The gym is in the Dungannon Rugby Club Stevenson Park complex so its fairly no frills but where it really counts it has all you could need. The main space is fantastic with high ceilings and an array of equipment. There's also a spin studio with regular classes and a large studio upstairs for classes and circuits. The team of trainers also make use of the pitch and outside areas to really make you suffer!! Speaking of the trainers, they are a friendly and approachable bunch and seem to achieve serious results quickly with really positive encouragement - I've seen a big difference myself after only 2 weeks. The gym also has a very even membership of men and women which adds to the welcoming and unintimidating feel. Great place!
