South Ruislip brunch, really lovely, modern equiptment, cleand but on the day on induction, I wasn't told about parking and £100 parking fine has just landed on my door! The parking is free but restricted late evenings 9.30 to early morning 7.30, I only saw free parking for 3 hours and missed the small prints! You enter your car reg within restricted hours at the gym to get "free parking", this MUST be part of the induction, how else should we know this with the big free parking sign and next to nothing stated restriction? £100? Please, note parking at all inductions, that's my one week's shopping bucks!

Unprompted review
Reply from PureGym UK
Hi there - Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we always appreciate and take on board member feedback. We are sorry to hear that you received a parking fine whilst using the gym. The car park is operated by a third party company in which we do not have any affiliation with. Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to cancel such tickets. Information regarding parking is available on the home page of any PureGym which offers parking. The correct parking procedures must be followed, to avoid a parking ticket. We would always advise that you appeal the fine and explain the circumstances. If you get in touch with Member Services, we can also provide you with an appeal document which will be an official letter from PureGym Head Office, stating that you are a member of PureGym and your attendance log for the date in question, will also be provided as proof to show you were in the gym. If your appeal is rejected, we would suggest submitting a case with POPLA. POPLA are an independent appeals process which works with the Ombudsman Service. They investigate whether this fine was issued correctly in accordance with the terms and condition of the car park; whilst reviewing evidence provided in the appeal. On the rejection notice, there should be a 10-digit verification code, and you will then be able to submit an appeal with POPLA via their website: http://www.popla.co.uk/poplaappealprocess. Although we cannot guarantee they will cancel the fine, we do hope for a positive outcome. Thanks, PureGym.
