There are a number of stations where you can sort out your hair and make up. There is also a steam room and cold shower which is good for relaxing in after a really hard workout.

The people working there showed me the facilities and also let me have my own space to look around. They were so helpful and when I only had jeans, one of the people even lent me his personal spare clean shorts. He also would not accept anything for the laundry when I gave them back to him and was just all round amazing. I was staying at The Premier Inn hotel and so using it for the day waa £5 instead of £10. This is a great sincere gym for people who are serious about training, really friendly and does not have the annoying slimy sales person stuff that other chains have.

Whether places…read morelike this work for you depends entirely on what you'd want or expect from your workout experience. Now, as a stranger to gyms (I have a lucky metabolism but I assume the fitness levels of someone thrice my age), it was going to take a lot to drag me into a gym when I'm happy enough walking several miles or engaging in a few yoga stretches at home. Well, that lot that it took was Chris M, who had us at Pure Gym at 7.30 this morning. He means business when it comes to getting fit for our upcoming nuptials. Firstly, you can't knock it for its strategic planning. Urban Exchange is as basic ad necessity-driven as Pure Gym itself, with a car park, Aldi, Go Outdoors and the M&S outlet. Plus the outdoorsy folk'll who shop at Go Outdoors will love it. Opening up a gym that's open 24/7, yes, 24/7 in that particular spot so that folks who work unsociable hours can go there too? Pure Gym, you Einsteins, you. This is a gym even nocturnal cab drivers, bartenders and community managers (I'm not saying anything) can use. And it's next to so many residential buildings that they had a customer base right away. Your enjoyment of Pure Gym will depend entirely what you're looking to get from your experience. When I hear about gyms that make me want to go to one, it usually involves my Estonian friend telling me she did a spinning class (I actually had to Google that, I'm such a FAIL when it comes to exercise) followed by a shower, sunbed and a nice bowl of porridge with honey and banana in the café. You don't get any of that from Pure Gym. There are classes, mostly two quid a time, but no food aside from vending machine proteiny things, no sauna, no swimming pool. It's showers, changing rooms, lockers and machines. The one thing you can invest in is personal training sessions with the staff - otherwise they simply pretend you're not there. This can work to your benefit or your detriment, for example if your keycode isn't working. As a basic gym, Pure is functional. It's never crowded and it does what it says on the tin. And it looks like I'm not quitting while my fiancé's helping to kick my ass. Don't worry, I'm kicking his too.

Then the only way you can contact them is threw Facebook messenger because there's no actual physical phone number you can speak to someone on. After 12 hours I was finally contacted back (because that's there wait time) to be told 3-5 working days. Well that time come and the refund never so you have to go back threw the 12 hour process of contacting them and awaiting the reply. I was then told by the exact same person (james) that my refund would infact take 10-14 working days well I then called James out for this but he didn't respond then another person did. No apology just the process takes that time anyway 14 working days have passed and still no refund so back threw the rigmarole of the 12 hour process then having to give all the details again. Now I'm on like the 15th working day I still haven't had a reply back from yesterday after giving my details once again absolve joke. I'm canceling my membership and they can stick the refund where the sun don't shine.

Sienna Spa is the Spa and Health Club found within the Radisson Edwardian, Manchester. Built on the…read moresite of historic barrel vaults, this inner sanctuary has a sense or calm and stillness far removed from busy city life. If you want luxury, pampering and fitness - then this is your place. The spa and health club are never packed full and on numerous occasions I have had the swimming pool to myself. The pool is 1.4m deep and approximately 15 x 10 metres. There is a chill out area surrounding the pool, along with a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. The gym offers a good range of equipment, including two running machines, three cross trainers, four bikes, one rowing machine, two weights machines and more. There is also a weights room for those wanting to focus! After exercising, the changing rooms have powerful hot showers with Gilchrist and Soames shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Also great hairdressers and straightners for the ladies! Want some pampering? There are various packages - a day or couple of hours etc. Facials and massages tried and tested - and I would highly recommend them. If you go for the Premier club (gym, pool, sauna etc) membership you get a complimentary spa treatments per month - so cool! Lush green apples are beautifully displayed for you to munch on after exercising or your pampering session and two choices of newspapers to read as you chill out. Cost wise - pretty good value for what you get. Love it love it!

Excellent. It is a very large gym with all the usual equipment you'd find and a great exercise space for free weights and routine gym work. When you join you get a complimentary health MOT - a 12 point health inspection that covers every aspect of your fitness you can think of. It definitely gives you the motivation to keep going, especially if the results deem you quite unfit, as they did for me :/ The pool and sauna / steam room / spa are excellent and usually quiet and the changing rooms and shower facilities are state of the art and very well maintained. There are personal trainers wandering around the gym most of the time, so it's really easy to grab them for advice or even book them for a PT session. Classes also run daily and are included in the membership. I can't fault this gym.

So some staff have hung on in there from both clubs before but nice to see some fresh faces. There has been quite a lot of cosmetic change. Much needed shower refurb. Some new equipment. And better use of the space. They have also developed a new health and fitness centre where you can get MOT done and check you're still alive lol. I also think they have listened to us old timers or loyal members as we like to be known. And they have introduced the coffee shop with juices and healthy snacks and for the city centre it's very reasonably priced. I like the vibe. And the atmosphere. No offence To Virgin but it's less electronic tag and more cooperate membership now!

The only OK was the steam room, but you had to pay for all the facilities, which weren't worth the price at all! I'm not recommending.

The downsides are that they don't hire out towels (as do the other two gyms), is always cold in a female changing room which also has only two hair dryers, which is not enough when it's busy.

It's £15.99 a month with a £20 joining fee (and it seems as though they occasionally waive the joining fee) on a rolling contract. This is one of the cheapest gyms in town to the best of my knowledge (Ben Dunne on Whitworth Street I think is cheaper). Here are the things I love about it: - You get a code that gets you through the main door and the freaky little entrance pods. This means you have one less card to lose/you don't have to stand around raking through your bag for it. - On the member's area of the website it tells you how often you've been to the gym and for how long each time. Good for motivation, and just handy if you like to keep track. - There are loads of machines. Even at busy times I haven't had to wait for a machine yet. The equipment all seems pretty modern too - they have spin bikes with inbuilt personal trainers. - All the classes are free (I haven't been to any yet so can't vouch for quality). Notable exceptions are that there's no pool, no sauna, and no free towels. But none of those things bother me: I don't like swimming, saunas are weird, and I can bring my own towel. Everything is clean and well-maintained. Staff seem nice though I've never had to have much to do with them. You can buy a padlock for £3 if you don't have your own. The biggest downside for me would be that the music is too loud - even with headphones on and my own music playing I can still hear it! In the fairly short time I've been a member here I've been really pleased with it - and I like that I can quit whenever I like if this stops being the case.

Since I continue to go here, I think it is unfair to give it a one star, so I am going to update…read morethe review again. Basically, the gym itself is good: it has been recently renovated, staff are friendly and helpful, showers, lockers, and fantastic class teachers. You can use all three gyms, which is also good news. BUT: It is full, and the gym continues to do promotions to get even more new members. So if you dream about joining class, I strongly advise you to do that as early as possible, usually three days before, otherwise you have to go on a waiting list and check your email every two minutes, since there are usually 10 people on the waitlist, and you have to compete with them to get the spot.

Nothing wrong with LA Fitness. Pure Gym has benefits that it's pretty cheap and open 24 hours. Also it's bigger than LA Fitness so almost always able to get on treadmill.

As a member u do have various offers like money off hair cuts from certain places.
