Ideal as it's on my doorstep. Monthly membership is very reasonably priced. Gym is open 24 hours which I like because I go 5am for an hour which allows me to get home, changed and have a cuppa before heading to work. Its nice and quiet at that time too. I also used to enjoy some of the classes that are on offer, all included in the price of the membership.
I visited as a guest and was really impressed so much so that I got my own subscription. It was the first time I had been to a gym in years so I was a bit nervous but honestly I had no need to worry. The equipment is very straightforward to use even for a novice like me. Lots of different weight machines, bikes etc. The subscription model is simple and there are no contracts, cancellation fees etc. I love the idea that my subscription covers me to use any PureGym in the UK 24/7. Parking is good. Free for up to 2hrs. Brilliant!!
Recently joined this gym and have been enjoying it so far. Staff and gym members are all very friendly, it’s a different vibe than going to the PureGym in the city centre of Newcastle which is mainly filled with students. I saw a few reviews regarding parking but there are clear ‘PG’ (PureGym) parking spaces so haven’t had any fines yet although hoping to not have any. The only thing I have found to be slightly annoying is when you’re there on evenings where there are no gym staff there’s an announcement that comes on the radio/TVs that announce that the gym is unstaffed very frequently and sometimes will play two or three times in a row. I understand it is for safety measures/precautions but the announcements are that frequent that they become a little annoying and are hard to ignore. Other than that though it’s an all round decent gym!
Good open space, bright with lots of windows. I only use weights and cardio machines. Standard of cleanliness is currently poor for equipment and most areas. No soap in men's toilets is a prime example and recurrent problem, or zero or broken cleaning sprays. No new kit in a few years, things are getting run down and maintenance is poor. Any suggestions for new kit or equipment are left unanswered. I get that it's only about £17per month but there's basic expectations that simply aren't now met but these used to be exceeded.
