Bath Victoria Park PureGym is awesome. Great friendly welcoming staff and tons of high quality equipment and facilities.
Nice, quiet and positive energy all round

Would avoid PureGym like the plague if I'm honest.

Was pulled aside by the one of the staff at PureGym Livingston and accused of something I hadn't done. When I asked where in the gym, and when, this alleged infringement had happened they couldn't answer. Told me they didn't need to explain that to me.

Raised it with the PureGym complaint department who fobbed me off to their Diversity and Safety (or whatever it's called) department who took some details and swept it under the rug.

Had no apology, no feedback, and now just blanking my emails.

If you want a decent gym shop around, it's worth paying an extra few quid a month for a better gym subscription and you'll get a better quality of service. Highly recommend JD Gyms, for example.

But long story short; avoid PureGym. They're all friendly and smiles on the outside, but as soon as there is an issue they show their true colours. Read all the other 1* reviews and you'll see a pattern.

Service members answered all my queries, got back to me via email within two days and assisted me with up to date information on the App

I checked the off-peak hours in advance of my visit to my local PureGym on the Summer UK Bank Holiday (Monday 31st August 2026).

In the online members dashboard it says that I should be able to access the gym 'All day' on Bank Holidays.

I travelled for 45 minutes to get to the gym, only to be denied access on arrival and have to give up and go home.

I informed customer services about this issue and they still have not issued a refund for this month (as requested), nor have they updated the information on their website, so that this doesn't happen to other members in future.

This 1 star review will remain up until PureGym issue a refund and update their website to show the correct information with regards to Off-Peak access to the gym on Bank Holidays.

Very good amazing facilities amazing customer service

Like 24 access always something free and help there if needed

Pleasant environment
Lots of equipment and you can go anytime.

Good price for a gym membership

It’s just what you’d expect from a good gym. The space is great. The Personal Trainers and Manager are so helpful.

I’m really disappointed with my first experience at the gym today.

I attended the Lift class at 7:10pm on 31 August. This was my first ever session at the gym and I am a complete beginner. Before attending, I checked that the class was suitable for all levels, so I felt comfortable giving it a try.

Before the class started, I told the instructor, Matthew Miles, that I was a beginner. I did my best throughout the class and used low weights because I knew I was inexperienced.

What happened afterwards was completely unacceptable.

Matthew Miles told me that I had no experience, that I should get a personal trainer and that I should not come back to his class. He said this in front of another person, which I found extremely humiliating and embarrassing.

I am a paying customer who was attending the gym for the first time. If there was something I needed to improve or something I was doing incorrectly, I would have expected an instructor to explain it to me respectfully and help me learn. Instead, I was made to feel like I had no place in the class simply because I was a beginner.

Under no circumstances should someone trying a gym for the first time be told not to attend a class that is advertised as being suitable for all levels.

I left the gym extremely upset and in tears. What should have been a positive first experience has left me feeling humiliated and questioning whether I even want to continue my membership.

I find the way I was spoken to completely unacceptable. Beginners should be encouraged and supported, not made to feel embarrassed or unwelcome.

I will be raising this formally with the gym because I do not believe this is how a paying customer should be treated.

The gyms themselves are not the subject of this, but more the app necessary to use the facilities. It's shocking and borderline unusable; confirmed after a quick look at the app store reviews. It's enough to put me off continuing membership.
App constantly crashes and slows entry to the gym and has been the same for many users for a few years. A recent update has caused consistent log out and PureGym seem completely in denial about it despite submitting several bug reports in the app.
Please fix the app as it's really ruining the PureGym experience overall.

The gyms themselves, generally good but consistent cleanliness issues at my local branches (Colwick, Castle Boulevard)

Four years ago I had a stroke when I walked I used to drag my right leg plus I was diagnosed diabetic now I I'm not diabetic and I don't drag my leg this is all down to a PT instructor named Liam at Stockport north gym he's perfect and pure gym is perfect too this is my experience I'm really happy and fortunate to be there

The Holloway Road gym used to be decent, but unfortunately since new management, Leteisha & co, took over roughly a year ago, things seem to have got worse rather than better. The changing rooms and toilets are often dirty. Despite the recent refurbishment, the overall layout feels awkward and poorly thought out. There have also been ongoing complaints about certain members of staff, yet nothing ever seems to change.
I agree with some of the points raised in other reviews about SOME of the PTs: at times, they can act as though the space exists solely for the convenience of their own clients. This can make the gym feel uncomfortable for other members, particularly when equipment or space is being used in a way that affects everyone else. I also have concerns about how certain incidents and complaints at this branch have been handled, and I don't feel that members' concerns are always taken seriously. This is particularly disappointing when the issue is something as important as members feeling comfortable and safe on the premises. To be honest, I only visit this gym a few times a month anyway, as I prefer the one near my workplace. However, everything my partner tells me (she goes 3 times a week) lines up with many of the negative reviews here. The air conditioning was out of action for much of the recent heatwaves, PTs regularly leave weights lying around after sessions, and we've experienced what I would describe as an unprofessional attitude from a staff member named Cem, as well as from a member of the management team. We'll soon be moving away from this area and leaving this gym behind, and based on our experience, we certainly won't miss it.

Great gym. Nice staff

Great gym where the staff make you feel welcome and that support is there if needed
