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.

Like most people I have joined a gym from time to time to try and lose a bit of weight or generally…read morejust get into shape and this place beimg just round the corner from my house I have been a member here a couple of times and always enjoyed the service and facilities on offer here. The gym equipment is all up to date and the staff are always available to help out or give any assistance that you may need. There are all sorts of classes on which is a good way to get to know people and feel a bit more comfortable around the place but there is no obligation to join just working out on your own is more your thing. My only problem is that it is a little expensive and you have to join for a year to get the best value for money. While this is ok, I'd prefer a shorter term deal like the one you can get at the leisure centre.

If ever there was a case of back street gym done good...this was it. Offers gymnastics for…read moreall...literally. Whatever you want to have a crack at its here. 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!
