Review of PureGym UK - Warrington Central


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Music Licence and Gym Class Experience

I've been going to Pure Gym Warrington Central since January 2023, and the staff are what make this gym so great. As a regular gym class attendee, I've taken part in spin, pump, circuits, abs, step, and legs, bums & tums over the past couple of years. The instructors bring so much knowledge, energy, and motivation to every class, and the music plays a huge role in creating that atmosphere.

Unfortunately, the recent decision to stop purchasing the music licence has really taken away from the gym class experience. Since only non-copyrighted music can be played now, the quality has noticeably dropped, and the classes just don’t have the same energy. After attending a few sessions with the new music, I’ve left feeling unmotivated and deflated. Kev’s spin class, in particular, was a highlight of my week—his energy and enthusiasm made it something to look forward to, so I’m really disappointed that his spin classes are no longer running.

I want to stress that the staff at this gym are absolutely fantastic and the reason I’ve stayed a member for so long. But it’s a real shame that Pure Gym as a company has chosen not to invest in the music licences, as it’s had a big impact on the experience. Unfortunately, this has left me considering other gym options.
