Dear PURE Hong Kong team, ATTN: Ms Theresa Shan, Managing…read moreDirector PURE Singapore I am traumatized and disappointed by my experience at PURE Singapore clubs and would like to inquire whether the same hygiene standards are being applied to at PURE Hong Kong as well. During my visit to the gym today, I was appalled when I caught a whiff of what smelled like a foul, sour stench of dried sweat emanating from the "clean" set of workout attire I had picked up at the changing room. I immediately discarded it into the dirty laundry bin to spare another member from this uncomfortable experience. Unfortunately, the next set of attire I picked had the same rancid stench. After a similar issue with the third set, I gave up as I did not want to be wasting any more resources and begrudging wore the third set of attire. No amount of deodorant spray could mask that putrid sweat odor that oozed from the attire that was hugging my body. What a distressing experience. Since PURE Singapore's decision to move laundry services in-house (was this decision co-approved by PURE Hong Kong?), I had repeatedly encountered instances of malodorous workout attire. Even though it mars my workout experience, I have previously tolerated this as I respected Managing Director PURE Singapore's business decision. However, today's experience has crossed the line, as the reeking stench of the attires on display today was reminiscent of the combined stale sweat of a thousand laborers. This is highly concerning. I would like to draw the attention of PURE Hong Kong and Managing Director PURE Singapore that there are health risks associated with this issue. Sweat can carry fungi (such as ringworm), bacteria (such as impetigo) and viruses (such as herpes), all of which can be transmitted through contaminated clothing. If the attire is not properly cleaned, this poses a significant health risk to the members of PURE Singapore. Given that PURE Group is a lifestyle brand with a purpose to inspire and help people to lead healthier, happier lives, it seems contradictory to allow members to wear contaminated clothing, potentially exposing them to harmful infections. Additionally, I find it puzzling that PURE Singapore invests in monthly deep cleaning of the gym facilities yet fails to ensure the cleanliness of the most basic equipment: the workout attire. It is also disheartening to see PURE Group, as a premium lifestyle brand, make members who pay a premium to enjoy a world-class facility and experience, put on rancid attire that stinks of other members' stale sweat. This is literally a slap across your members' face. Is this decision some sort of sadistic joke? Again, while I recognize the importance of cost-saving measures, it should not come at the expense of PURE members' health and overall experience. At this point I respectfully request that PURE Singapore to take one of the following actions: 1. Reverse this terrible decision to do laundry in-house and outsource to a professional, reliable laundry service provider that can ensure proper cleaning and hygiene of the workout attire 2. If outsourcing is not an option, I kindly ask that Managing Director PURE Singapore Ms Theresa Shan personally address this issue with a public clarification, perhaps, using a social media video; taking a whiff of the current workout attire and provide a clear POV demonstration of how she enforces strict hygiene standards in in-house in personally washing the attire, performing a smell test in the end to demonstrate that she approves the current hygiene standard. I expect a resolution to this matter (with one of the above two actions) within the next 2 weeks. Should this be not addressed as per my kind request, the matter will be further escalated. Thank you.

I've a lot of friends who frequent PURE so I figured it was about time to give it a shot. The…read moreservice is great - folks working there are accommodating and patient. Carefully (but not too much) walked me through the forms to sign for a guest pass, gave me the WiFi password, the works. The gym itself is pretty darn crowded even without the number of people there. They have too much equipment IMO and there's just no space. More is better, but sometimes less is more. PURE IFC has great views and offers towels and even workout clothes (including socks!) which is pretty nifty. They have great shower facilities, great odor control and in general everything you need to freshen up after a workout. I'd probably come back just because our offseason routine needs TRX and my own gym doesn't have that, but the place could definitely be less congested.

The Pure fitness at the PCCW tower is a fairly new facility. Pure has a number of yoga and gym…read morefacilities located in Hong Kong and other places in Asia. I would consider on the side of high end when it comes to gyms. You can expect to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of 700 hkd per month or more depending on the package you choose. This particular gym is multi floor facility and is really large. It has all the types of equipment that I typically use like the treadmill, free weights and Olympic lifting weights. So it meets my needs in terms of training. This facility also has gymnastics equipment that you can use as well and I hope to incorporate into my routine in the future. This gym is located in an office building so the peak times will be during lunch and after 5 pm. I'm not someone who takes a lot of classes except for an occasional yoga class. If you are someone who prefers classes there are plenty of those as well. The spin classes sell to be quite popular.

After one year of using this gym pretty faithfully with like 120+ check-ins, I thought I would…read morewrite an update. Having read my first review, I would not really say I would have vast changes to my opinion on this location (thus I keep my Yelp rating a 4) with the exception of the following: IT IS NOW LESS BUSY THAN A YEAR AGO (WHICH IS GOOD FOR ME!): Last year, this location was the latest and greatest to the Pure family, therefore, it was packed at peak times. I definitely notice that it is less busy. Not because anything is lacking at this gym, I simply think that because Pure has opened a couple new gyms since 2015, the population of the gym patron is simply more spread out. Not a bad thing for me, who can now easily get into a class and do not feel like I will be fighting to get on a machine. It feels more relaxed, more welcoming, more boutique like because it is less busy than when it first opened. CLEAN! CLEAN! CLEAN!: That team of cleaners I see every single day really do work hard. The ladies locker room is always really clean, not only because it looks so, but because you cannot be in there without at least two cleaners always within eye sight. I AM STILL NOT A FAN OF THEIR CLASS SCHEDULE: Some things about their class schedule are great (i.e Jill on Mondays with Body Attack is fun, energetic and inspiring!, Eddie's mat Pilates class is a welcome Wednesday class where his queuing is on point! and Chris's sprint spin class on Friday always help kick my ass before the weekend!), but in general I kind of hate that there is not a single class offered from 8AM-11AM midweek, there are only spin options on Thursday and Friday and that they recently got rid of the one yoga class on the schedule. PERSONAL TRAINER: I sought out a trainer who was American College of Sports Medicine certified ACSM or National Strength and Conditioning Association certified NSCA (easier said than done) and although there are a few on staff in the Pure family in Hong Kong, after doing some extensive research, I landed in the lap of Barry Leung at Pure. Personal training does not come cheap, but if you can get in the grove with a good trainer, it is worth the time and money. Barry has proven to be great! High energy, listened and trained to where I was as an athlete as our relationship got going, knows my strengths and weaknesses and pushes me to the uncomfortable spots I hate going to, does not let up, but interested in my physical health and mental health a bit too (LOL!). He also continues to change as my goals continue to change and also to keep things fresh...we are currently working on upper body strength to get to my goal of doing an unaided handstand not against a wall! And most importantly, he is a ton of fun and this is key to making sure I stay interested. Do your research before picking a trainer because all trainers are not the same, despite the pedigree they might have!

With all the great amenities that comes with the PURE name, CWB location has one thing working to their favor against other locations, space! Their entrance is located on the 16th floor of the Lee Theater Building, PURE is actually 3 levels!! The first of the 3 levels, the top floor, is mainly reception, lockers, and the food bar. The reception is always super nice and friendly. I request certain lockers in this locations because there are so many lockers, I've just grown accustomed to certain ones. I find the lockers closer to the showers just easier to access and convenient. The staff here never have an issue with helping me on that. The locker room here are equipped with TVs, phone charging stations, work out clothing (including socks) and a good number of showers. There is never a need to wait for a vacant shower stall. The sauna and steam room here is a bit on a small side, but still very clean and accessible. The food bar is tended by some nice staff members that can mix a good shake for you after an intense workout. They also have some nice salads on offer along with wraps and small sandwiches. All fairly healthy choices at a reasonable price. One level down, you will find yourself on the floor where they have one room for their cycling classes and another room for one hour classes with instructors. This is also the section where you will find the boxing training available to you if you'd like. On the last level, you will have your weights and treadmills and cross trainers. There is never a wait for machines here which is great!! I also love that very rarely, you will have someone working out RIGHT next to you. I love the space! There is also a space for you to do your stretches in peace without people walking back and forth. PURE in CWB is ideal for those who want to get a serious work out in your day without feeling cramped. LOVE!

Great little gym nestled into the Kennedy Town riverside. The price is fantastically competitive by…read moreHK standards, and the gym itself was remarkably well equipped. The only commercial gym i've trained at before in HK is the Fitness First in harbour city which costs 3 times the price and has less equipment (i was over for a week and they offer a week pass for HK$350). The gym itself isn't massive but it's a decent space and manages to fit in more equipment than FF which is at least twice the square footage. Equipment includes but not limited to: -2 power racks, flat bench, incline bench, decline bench, free weight area with DBs up to 50kg (maybe over) -a good selection of machines (incline press/shoulder press/fly/hack squat/leg press etc...) -approx 10 treadmills and cardio things -TRX and gymnastic ring set up Showers and locker room were very clean (fyi you need to bring your own towels). All the guys and girls working there were welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back next time i'm in HK.

The locker rooms are very clean and tidy and modern. Those are the main positives. The gym itself isn't great. It seems to be suffering from the malaise that a lot of gyms have fallen foul to over the past few years where they are trying to be "more than just a gym". This one seems to be trying to court the crossfit crowd with the majority of its floor space being taken up with enormous climbing walls and astroturf running/hop scotch type areas. The result is that the free weights area and machine selection is a little lacking. 1x squat rack, 1x flat bench, 1x incline bench and a limited number of free benches, all crammed in quite a small space. At peak times this makes for a lot of time wasting waiting for equipment to be free. The range of dumbbells is fairly standard (up to 46kg i think). The choice of machines if you want to do something other than free weights is also a little strange - no incline chest press but 2 variations on decline. All in all a perfectly pleasant gym, but not great in terms of equipment and probably not worth the price.
