24 hours extremely helpful staff day pass would highly recommend 10/10 reminders me of my home gym everything you need to get a great workout in read more

I have an arch enemy. A sworn nemesis. A Moriarty to my Holmes. A bad to my good. An X Factor to my real music. A Simon Cowell to my... eh... humanity. This evil being? Ma belly. I hate it. He (i shall call him he) sits there all day just quietly reminding me about the beer and pizza ans chips and whisky and chocolate and crisps and juice I've guzzled down. Perhaps you say, perhaps the ire of my anger should be towards the afore mentioned beer and what not and not the innocent outcome of my gluttonous actions? Perhaps, I say, perhaps you should shut the shut up! Anyway. Rightly or wrongly, i hate this wee dude and have finally decided to terminate his existence. But how? Well, since i'm writing a review about a gym, you may dear reader, assume that i'll be saying bye bye belly with the aid of exercise. You would be right. This i cannot argue against. So with a heavy belly and a heavy heart I joined the Pure Gym due to utter convenience (i work nearby) and the 'oooooh, that's cool and allows me to opt out if/when I cannie be arsed anymore' single month contract system. Nae year contract for this lasy barsteward! So, the beef burning beef? Well, as gyms go it seems to have all the gear you'd need to shed those extra pounds and tone up whatever's left over. I've just recently become a convert to running, so the appeal of these and a wee shower afterwards is pretty much all I'm after just now. Equipment wise, it seems to have all the mod cons. Runny things. Rowy things. Bikey things. Weight lifty things and what have you. It's clean (although the shower did smell a wee bit stinky), fresh, well lit and fairly welcoming even if the entry system does feel a wee bit like you're entering the safe zone in some sort of post apocalyptic zombie flick. Apparently the joint can be pretty busy at times, but today I popped in at around 2ish and it was fairly quiet. It'll do for noo. Classes and what not, other words, amenities, assistance and other relevant words. Yeah. read more

This gym has only recently opened in Glasgow. Found in the heart of the city centre its very convient. Open 24/7 means you can squeeze a quick work out in any time you like. The gym is very large inside with a great choice of machines. Upon joining the gym you are given a unique membership number which you should learn straight away as you'll need it every time you visit. The front entrance is controlled with a security gate so membership number is required to open the gate. Head on upstairs to the changing rooms. Door is locked so membership number is required again. Once ready to go head on upstairs again and you can easily get going. The changing rooms are very spacious with plenty of lockers. Just buy yourself a padlock (which they sell in the gym) and your good to go. There is plenty of private showers however there is no dry area within the shower so its tricky getting dried off after the shower. Also if you are shy there isn't really anywhere private to get dressed unless you can find a dry shower cubicle or use the toilet. There is staff kicking around if you have any problems with everything and anything you may need can be found in the vending machines. Far cheaper than joining a fancy gym so defo recommended. They host a range of classes and all of these can be booked online or at little machines inside the gym read more

Superb Value at only £16.99 per month with no tie in. There is a joining fee, but as with most gyms may be dropped in January to prey on those resolutionaries !! Lots of machines , 24 hour access, free classes (paid ones too), personal trainers (fees vary). I used the chap Colin to set me up a programme for only £10. Great for popping into at lunchtime , busy after work but late evenings not to bad. Also has sunbeds £1 for 2 mins read more

Buy a better pad lock from the local hardware store as their padlocks are easy to get into.Some of the eqipment looks dirty. read more

So I joined the gym nearly 3 months ago. I have never been to a gym before and to be honest didnt really have much confidence either. After gaining weight threw medication and having a few health problems coupled with early stages of osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. So after looking on there website for a personal trainer I found Lynsey coulthard. On paper shes seemed to be good. I agreed 1 lesson per week.The first month was ok, and although she had promised to help with diet, not much came of it. But overall I was fairly happy with her. The only thing I did feel that she wasnt very good at booking appointments with, she never had her diary with her and would on occasion confirm appointments late the night the day before. Also cancelled 1 appointments hour n half before we meet and on 1 occasion msg me to say she had had her birthday and with family all week and forgot to let me know. I then went on holiday and when I came back my knee had flared up. I meet Lynsey who did fill out a medical form and said if I can get I doctors note that would be good. I did msg her when I had been to the clinic and said that they had said that exercise was good just to slow down a little, I told Lynsey and she mentioned that was ok and we could just work on upper body exercises. She never mentioned the letter anytime after this. Again trying to get an appointment wasnt easy. Unfortunately this did escalate and I found that she wasnt very reliable, when i tried to approach her over this, I was meet with a hostile attitude. I did ask for a refund for the month we had not met. She agreed that she would refund my money. Unfortunately the next day I was inundated with messages for over an hour,to the point I had to ask her to stop massaging me as this was not rational behaviour. But she still carried on. I have spoken to 3 people in customer services a week ago who really haven't bothered to help, they said they have emailed the area manager and the branch manager Daniel Moore and still know has been in touch. Not only have they stolen my money and really dont seem to care about their customers they have more importantly crushed my confidence. Please be careful booking with this company as it appears they only care about your money. And I'm sorry to say I definitely wouldn't recommend puregym read more

Ok, it's official. I am converted to the ways of Pure Gym. I was visiting in Glasgow and staying at the nearby CitizenM Hotel, which doesn't have a fitness centre. In the midst of a mad fitness effort, I decided I simply had to find somewhere to exercise in the city centre. So I searched for a gym on Yelp, found this one, and off I went. When I got to the gym, I was perplexed to see that there was no reception, just a computer where I could tap in my details. I added my credit card info, and hey presto, I had a code valid for 3 days to get into the gym. I went through what looked like a time machine but turned out to be a door, and I was in. This gym is 24 hours (24 HOURS!!), huge and amazing. It is so big that it's spread over three entire massive floors. There are tons of classes (including early morning and late evening ones), power plates, and so many machines you can't imagine that you'd ever have to wait for one. This gym puts my gym at home to shame. It's a little shabby (ie, I've seen smarter, cleaner gyms in my time), but realistically, who cares? This gym is cheap (think around 20 per month), or I paid 12.99 for my 3 day pass (great for visitors). It isn't fancy, but it does what it needs to do, ie, let you get fit whenever and however you fancy. You can go at a time which suits you, whether that's 11pm for shift workers, or 6am for early birds. I will definitely return next time I'm in Glasgow, and I sincerely hope Pure Gym set up shop near me in London too. read more

OK so time for an update on PG. So I definitely prefer this place at the weekend; as it tends to be quieter than during the week. It's a huge space & they've obviously planned for volume rather than optimum use of the space. There's a huge number of treadmills lined up side by side in a horrible hall of mirrors, so if you have sadomasochistic tendencies you can chain yourself to a treadmill and watching rows of flushed, sweaty folk on their hamster wheels. Up the back of the top floor is where you'll find a large selection of free weights & weight machines. For some reason the air conditioning seems to blow in in one particular corner, meaning you can be stuck in a blast chiller while doing working your legs & roasting hot while working your guns. It's probably best to go legs then upper body as your sweaty body might get frozen onto a seat if you do it the other way around! The things that really made me consider giving this place a lower rating are that a) during hot weather this place really smells of sweaty humans (really sweaty) & b) the awful, I mean painfully awful selection of gym Muzak that they play; it's like some horrible psych experiment to see how long it takes for someone to lobotomise themselves with a dumbell! Given the convenient location, the amount of equipment and the ease of access (24/7), I'll overlook the sweaty humans & teeth-grindingly painful music policy. The fact that there's no term limits to your contract means that the day I finally reach the point where a dumbell lobotomy seems favourable to hearing another god-awful song through the PA, I shall walk out & find another cheap, pack 'em & rack 'em gym to fraternise. read more

What can I say I'm a bit of a Pure gym loyal. The worst thing about any gym is the contract and for me that doesn't work. I'm not an everyday every month all year kind of gym go-er so being able to cancel when ever I want it a major bonus for me. Being open 24 hours, It's always comfortably busy, not so busy you have to wait for machines. It's a very basic gym by this I mean if you are looking for a health suit with saunas and steam rooms this is not for you. It has a shed load of machines like treadmills,bikes, steppers! The lot. It also has a big free weight section with lots of options. It's no frills but it's very clean and has lots of options to tailor your workout so weather you a cardio beast or just into weight there is plenty to choose from. Which is great for £14.99pm Once you have initially signed up you get full access you pure gym online from this you can see a healthy class timetable all covered by your membership. There is also a huge list of partnership discount. An all round hit for me. read more

Best decision I made this summer was to move off of my jiggly wee bum and join the gym, and actually go to it. I think the hygienic and cleanliness of the equipment and rooms had something to do with it if I'm honest. There's little more satisfying than noticing your work paying off. For £17.99 you get unlimited time in the gym and access to the classes held all day until around 7pm and that's only per month. Currently writing this with a slightly less jiggly bum and a big smile, worth a visit. read more

Someone before called this place the 'EasyJet' of gyms - and it's a pretty good comparison. There aren't any frills in this gym but it's hard to feel like you're missing out for a monthly cost of £18.99 I don't think I've seen so many treadmills, step machines and elliptical trainers in my life - so there's never an issue getting on one of those. Yet although there are plenty of weight machines around, getting the exact one you want at peak times might just mean a bit of a wait - give it another 10 minutes on the cardio machine of your choice and you'll probably be in luck. The showers and changing rooms are nice enough - with hair dryers there for, well, hair drying purposes and vending machines in the main lobby selling everything from padlocks for the lockers to protein products. If that wasn't enough, you can also sign up to any of the free classes they hold. Although the times don't always suit me and my hectic working schedule they seem nicely spaced out - just book quickly as the most popular classes (spin, yoga etc) fill up really quickly. If you're looking for a cheap, contract free place to work out in the city centre then you surely can't go wrong with this place. read more

I hadn't been until recently, when I saw that they've refurbished the whole gym, that I had my doubts about the gym. Honestly, it looks much better now! The division between floors now makes sense: the upper floor is devoted to cardio, machines and lighter weights, while the lower floor now has all the heavy stuff and most of the free weights. They haven't changed anything about the locker rooms, which continue to be spacious (some lockers don't work properly, though, but there're plenty of them so no problem about that). If you are looking for a budget gym in the city this is definitively the place to go! read more

The gym itself is not bad but the staff are horrible. Don't let you join classes if you haven't warmed up with them even if you say you will warm up by yourself(when they are suppose to encourage you to workout). And they don't let you squat or deadlift without shoes on.The water fountain is also rubbish, the water literally dribbles out it and sometimes its warm.The weights are always a mess and its too busy. If you are a serious about lifting i suggest you look elsewhere read more

Worst customer experience ever. Tried to use a daypass, which ordered the night before so as not to waste time the next morning, but they expire at midnight. Got the "it's in the small print, sorry mate" response. read more

I actually thought the gym and staff are great, big open spaces and lots of equipment. Friendly staff too. Except one, Rebecca Donnelly who clearly has no idea about weight training considering she asked me to clean up weights I wasn't finished with whilst holding 30KG above my head. I was appalled any gym would anyone so incompetent work there... read more

I recently moved to this gym after a terrible takeover of LA Fitness by Sports Direct Fitness. I should have moved much sooner as this gym's equipment and facilities are so much better for a much lower price than my old gym. It's spread over three floors - ground is the entrance and has a studio where the classes take place (I've only done yoga which i enjoyed but it is £2 extra per class bring in an accredited yoga instructor). They also have TRX suspension training on this floor along with those vibrating plates, and some weights. The first floor is the men and women's changing room - remember your membership code to gain entry. Most of the locker are teeny so you really have to crush your stuff in, but at the back there are those long lockers which are good for me at lunch to hang my work clothes in so don't get wrinkled. There's hairdryers and shower facilities also available. On the second floor, you have a ton of cardio machines (treadmills/cross-trainer/rowers/steppers) - i love the treadmill especially the ones that face onto Bath Street - people watching is excellent way of escaping monotony of treadmill. After 5pm, be quick as it get busy but you can usually nab a machine. But what I really love this gym for is the weight training. The amount of equipment is immense and they have the biggest free weights section I've seen compared to other gyms. A good number of adjustable benches - they could do with increasing the number of weights available as many are in use as some people like to use two sets. It's usually fairly easy getting a bench to train. Goes from 6kg to ridiculously heavy so range good. They have two squat racks - i love them but they are nearly always in use - i wish they would get more. One of my favourite weight machines is the assisted dip/pull up one - usually in use but the other members don't mind sharing it with you if you ask to work in. In terms of resistance machines - the beauty of this gym is they nearly have more than one of each one - eg. leg presses/curls/extensions and shoulder/tricep/chest machines. If someone's using one, you just find a group of the same ones further down the gym. The range of resistance machines is fantastic. It's very clean - just remember to bring a towel with you to wipe down the machines. There's a also water fountains provided so you can fill up your water bottle. There's vending machines for towels/water bottles and also for protein and energy bars, and even one for making your own protein mixes. Oh and there's loads of personal trainers if you fancy that sort of thing, but not for me. And the great thing about Pure is that they don't hover around you during your workouts trying to make a sales pitch. There's a wall of business cards on the first floor, and you make the first move not them. LA Fitness was terrible for being sales focused. I'm a Pure Gym convert for definite especially in the run for my Tough Mudder training in June. read more

I am a member of this gym and it used to be good but has wrnt downhill. There are too many members and not enough equipment, ive found myself waiting for 45 minutes just for a squat rack! Despite numerous suggestions made to thr manager stuart no resolution has been made. However recently have got more cardio equipment which they have plenty of already!!! All in all, great potential, limited equipment and awfully managed. read more
