Well equipped and managed with outstanding personal trainers

I've been a member of this gym for about a year, using it whenever I'm in London, and I must say it's truly a top-notch facility. Not only is the gym extremely well-equipped with a wide range of modern fitness tools and machines, but it's also impeccably managed by Anthony, whose friendliness and personable approach make every visit enjoyable.

What sets this gym apart for me, however, is my personal trainer, Panni. He brings a rare combination of infectious energy, focused personal attention, empathy, and utmost professionalism to every session. His extensive knowledge and commitment to his craft are truly remarkable, making him the best trainer one could wish for. If you're looking for a gym that offers not just great equipment but also exceptional personal training, this is the place to be!

Terrible impression

My first day going to the gym… going up the stairs there was a homeless person laying on the stairs, doing his drugs and getting ready to sleep. I turned around and came back home - really thinking about cancelling my subscription. Terrible first impression.

Hi, thank you for leaving us this review. We are sorry to see this is 1 star.

Our London Camden gym is 24/7. A gym that opens all day will only close temporarily of there is an issue. Emails however will be sent to all members explaining this. We can only apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Thanks, PureGym

I like the large number of dumbbells that are offered and the wide varieties of machines. However, the machines are very close together and you sometimes have to get in someone's personal space just to get to the machine you want. The bathrooms are often disgusting with toilet paper all over the bathroom, no soap available and trashcans overflowing. I would really love it if the gym offered a punching bag, even just a standing punching bag would be great. I love to box and I often see people sparring at the gym and I think it would be a great addition to the gym.

Equipment not been repaired and tissue everywhere in the evening.

Typical reply from the marketing team. They ask you to tell staff on site and staff replied the management has been informed. This response is wasting time. I will quit and join other gym instead. It is not worth it.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. We would like to assure you that we are reviewing feedback and will ensure this is addressed in club.

Staff do undertake regular maintenance checks and work hard with our equipment providers to ensure that our equipment is fixed as soon as possible, if any should be broken. We are equally as disappointed when this happens and sometimes need to wait on engineers but will have all equipment in full working order as soon as is safely possible. If you have any concerns about equipment, please notify staff on site as soon as you can.

PureGym are SO slow at fixing and replacing stuff

There is always at least one machine broken or not working - e.g stair machine broken for about 3 weeks. The drink machine was broken for over 1 month which is obviously annoying as I pay extra to use it. The scales to weigh yourself are broken too. The toilets are 🥴

Pure really need to be SO much faster fixing and replacing things.

Bright side - good equipment and the staff are 10/10 - big love to them all

The gym in Camden (London)

The Puregym in Camden (London), it's small, the equipment is ok. the showers and changing room is to small and get's cramped, at peak times. the toilets are tiny and dirty. the staff are quite and keep to themselves, but they are friendly.

Please be aware due to the situation of our gyms it isn't always possible to extend the site itself, however, we are always looking to expand and improve our facilities where possible, so please keep an eye out for updates. If you have any specific suggestions regarding the layout of the gym please approach the Gym Manager or leave a note in the feedback box, which is regularly reviewed.

Lack of maintenance

I've been a puregym member for many years, I had a plus membership, so I can compare to other gyms, and now I'm based in Camden with a simple membership. This gym could be much better with some maintenance. I've seen one of the stairs climbing machine broken for months, leaving only one. Today I tried 3 treadmills before I found one that worked properly. One wouldn't start the running belt despite the screen working properly, one had faulty controllers, so speed and incline could be only managed through the screen, and so on. One of the bicycles had no pedal. It's such a nice and big space, it's a shame the maintenance is so poor.

Edit 3/10/23: Over 1 month after writing this, the stairs machine is still out of service. And the only one left, is always occupied. Please, replace the other machine

Friendly employees

Friendly employees, and organized atmosphere, but lack of welcome to members, lack of effective wipes and ineffective cleaning station. Weights and equipment a little bit disorganized in terms of equipment such as dumbbells, kettlebells, and barbell plates. Also certain open areas had too much equipment in the space and certain attachments such as the barbell insertion was too close to the dumbell rack, along with an air bike being right next to the dumbbells.

Gyms too hot. No AC. Smell.

Whilst the gyms have good equipment, they never turn AC on. It’s their policy. It means the gym is so hot in summer and smells awful. This is a company-wide policy. Also customer service centrally is absolutely awful. I think they may be bots!
