Reviews of PureGym Birmingham City Centre

H.

Great range of equipment. It’s a two floor gym with a studio. There are loads of free weights and mats for you to do your own thing and it doesn’t get too busy.

v. n.

This Pure Gym location is very close to city center. First floor has all cardio equipment and ground floor has all free weights and machines. Gym is usually kept tidy and clean. Usually 5-8pm are peak hours. Not enough bench and squat racks is the main issue of this branch. same goes for workout bench number as they are always occupied. The only way to get around this issue is to workout on odd hours or off-peak which is not possible for majority of gym goers. The group classes are great and gym has a big studio so plenty members can participate.

M. B.

So far so good, a good variety of classes, instructors are friendly and great atmosphere. Haven't used shower facilities as yet but on the whole a good no nonsense gym

A. G.

I am customer of pure gym and most of the trainer are so helpful ( Aron and one more i don’t know his name and he is tall ) . Equipment are so good and only thing disappointed me they have only two functional training machine( mutiples exercise machine like chest flyes , triceps , back , biceps , shoulder) my suggest they should at-least three because big gym and so many customers and mostly used machine in the gym . And they have like 2 ropes and 4 handles and all they should at least 4 pairs of all stuff. Please fix asap these problem are big problem in the gym and only not me and everyone faced these problem in the gym . I hope Manager will keep work on my feedback . Thank you

I only come here because it’s round the corner from my flat so it’s super convenient. Machine and equipment wise amazing everything you need however the gym STINKS of men I know it’s a gym but I’ve been to others that smell fresh - as soon as you walk in the smell just hits you 🤢 another thing is one of the members of staff (tall Asian guy) is super creepy, always staring and lingers around it’s just super uncomfortable. One time I saw him literally peaking under the blind in the office window honestly so weird.

After the reply from owner, I felt I should explain my rating as written on 3-11-20. First: The covid prevention measure are 5 stars. The gym had done what they can as you can see from of the pictures. What can be done, had been done. Therefore, I felt relative safe given the cirumstances. However, I had been in this gym for 2 years, and what really degrade my overall score is building maintaince and resistant training equipments. Over time, I have seen water leaks, that took quite a long time to fix. The male change room was actually shorten with a new wall to cover the old toilets. The water pressure for the wash basin are way to high. Next is the resistant facilities. I felt for a gym of this size, with the amount of gym goers even during mild period, there are not enough power racks, benches, and free weights. During peak hours, I dont even bother with any of the benches. In comparison with gyms from city centre/downtown in other parts of the world, I do not believe there are enough power racks, press benches, regular benches, free weights, etc. Thos are 2 reasons I give this gym a rating of 3, which have nothing to do with COVID-19. But with that being said, I still go to this gym due to geographical location. I just wish the building is maintain better, and the weights sections are better invested. But if you are into cardio, you probably never have to waits for any of the machines. There are like more than a hundread of cardios machines from all kinds of bikes, to tread, to steps, to row. 3/5 as of 3-11-20. But good enough for me to go nevertheless.

P. b.

Pure gym gives a lot for the price, equipments are very well preserved, even more than the major premium gyms of the city that charge 3x more. Also available flavoured drink dispensers. Very clean place

A. D.

The gym is good and everything but it is mismanaged and unorganised for some reason

W. C.

Great budget gym, plenty of equipment, the only negative is the shower facilities late at night.

B. G.

Absolutely LOVE it ... normally do 5am starts, gym nice a quiet & clean .... also local.. 😁❣

L. H.

Half of the lockers in the mens changing room are destroyed. My locker got busted too and every day there are more and more destroyed ones...

s. f.

It's good. Nice to see it so quiet. For social distancing there are workout spots designated on the floor. Plenty of Cleaning stations so users can wipe down with antibac. It needs that really handy flavoured water machine. Bikes near the entrance need to be just a bit further apart

B. C.

I've been using pure gym for about 8 years or so I do like the place i tend to go early a nice crowd you get to see same people my only real moan is fellow members do seem to love using their mobile phones I went alround using what I use which is sometimes 30 minutes and they'll still be on there with their mobiles I do say any chance mate but common sense should prevail it's a gym where people work out not commicate with the rest of the population??? I'm really pleased that everything seems to be going back to normal, good idea to keep the cleaning stations around the gym although not all members use them ??.

F. L.

I'm not the most confident person when it comes to the gym - I went to a different gym for a few years before covid but decided to get back into it and joined Pure Gym Birmingham. The price is really brilliant, the gym is spacious and covid safe, the staff and gym-goers haven't been invasive (which I struggled with at other gyms) and there's a wide variety of equipment suitable to everyone's needs. My only complaint is that the gym could really benefit from a few punch bags. As a kickboxer, I could really use the opportunity to practice my sport whilst at the gym. Other than this, there's everything I've needed at this gym. Lastly, I was a little disappointed upon signing up as I joined PureGym after reading that they did combat class and box fit classes. However, so far it seems that PureGym Birmingham broad street does not offer these classes that I was interested in doing which is a shame.

R.

I liked a lot the calisthenics area they have, though not completely ideal. Its open 24h, which is super helpfull for busy people :)

G. W.

Great environment and friendly staff, manager was very helpful when I came back to retrieve lost property.

C. A.

Really nice and spacious gym with 2 floors. Top floor for cardio has variety of equipment, there's always something available to use as it's neve too crowded (I go in the morning). Downstairs has a great studio space and the weights area is huge although can be a bit crowded at times. Lots of sprays and paper towels to wipe down equipment after use. Good location right in the town and lots of buses that go by it so its easy to get to.

J. F.

Spacious...lots of room to do your thing, regardless of what time you go. Of course going at the crack of dawn is better in my opinion. You more or less have the gym to yourself! ( if you can leave the warm confines of your bed)! 😁

P. F.

Great experience..:being going here for about three months and most of the problems has been fixed. Generally a good and friendly gym

R. K.

24/7 large gym. Sing up and payment online than you get your code and you're in! Easy AF :) trick to success is hold on and keep pushing! :D

F. P.

The gym itself is good but the weights, racks, accessories are a mess. It is hard finding what you want sometimes, because of people leaving them all around the place. No organization at all. They need someone putting things back in place more often if they keep not getting costumers to do it.

M. M.

Training here for more than 6 months! Even if I live far I still prefer to come here because it's very good value for money! The gym is huge so no matter how crowded it is you still have what to do. They have numerous fun classes and personal trainers are very cool

D. M.

I do like. Bring your own equipment clips and cable handle grips. And please PG don't contact me to say you spoke to customer to discuss when you really do not wish to resolve the issue. You are perfect as you are!!

M.

The gym is practical, with heaps of classes on. Friendly personal trainers all around. Only criticism is parking is tricky in the day before the free parking kicks in at 6pm. It's also very busy in the evenings being central so it's nice to visit if possible out of peak times. Even so, I hardly wait for equipment and being a not very experienced gym visited, the classes really help ease you into the gym and understand the flow. People tend to wear traditional gym clothes with casual t shirts -except one who wore a woolly jumper! Changing rooms are clean, lockers are sizable, hair dryer and showers are lovely extras for the cheap price

R. E.

Good Gym, huge amounts of people. Good levels of equipment for all abilities, however does have lengthy periods of over-crowding- especially free-weight areas. There are 2 areas of mats where your own thing can be done, but again these are very busy and you do have to wait to get access to them. Naturally in the early hours there are few people there, but not everyone can gym at 1am! Worth a trial, but be sure to plan for waiting for weights... no pun intended

M. T.

Good gym but gets very busy to the point where you cannot complete your workout during peak hours, so best to visit when not busy

B.

Good clean atmosphere!! Helpful friendly staff! This gym is getting much better thanks to the new management!! The only disappointing aspect of this gym is the free weights area, which is a lil small and always hogged up by the same familiar faces! Other then that a nice fresh atmosphere!!

V. L.

Best gym I’ve been to so far, very clean, staff was very friendly especially Umar who showed me and my friend around since we were new. Would absolutely recommend to a friend, 5 stars well deserved!

W. S.

A good gym that is absolutely fine for training, however I agree with other comments about poor maintenance of equipment. In particular one ski erg has not worked properly for a few months - the only staff I see are those delivering PT sessions so unsure who I should speak to about these things as I have had quite blunt replied on the times I have let them know equipment isn’t working correctly while they are delivering a session! The whole time I have been a member, there has been work going on downstairs but don’t believe I have seen anything about what is being done and when it is due, other than ‘we are making the gym better’ or something generic?!

M. R.

Try and find one large locker in the guys changing room that isn't broken. Not a new problem, been like that for ages now.

R. O.

Amazing gym. But, can you do something about the bright lights just over the benchpress racks? They are way too bright, I am totally dazzled after each set. Oh, can you attach shackles/carabiners to each machine permanently or just buy some more of them please? Struggling every time to find one.

J. H.

This used to be a 4 or 5 star cheap, simple gym. Now the prices are creeping up while the quality is going down. Still a pretty decent all round gym, machines, free weights with lifting platforms, classes etc all bookable online or through the app. Open 24/7 generally clean and tidy, with nice changing rooms with showers. Just little things like the balance beam style weighing scale has been replaced by bathroom scales you could buy from anywhere. Different levels of membership where before it was all one price and got you nearly everything. Little tweaks that used to make it fairly unique with a USP now its just that they are open 24 hours and more gyms are doing that.

S. K.

Nice and close to where we live so i can walk to gym which acts as a warmup, and dnt need to procrastinate due to commute issues, the gym itself is huge, esp the multi gym section, all clean and maintained, really clean change rooms. As a suggestion would appreciate if we could add body wash in vending machines.

g. p.

Great staff, awesome classes and friendly environment. New equipment, you got everything you need. A bit busy during the week around 6 pm, but as any othet gym at this time of the day, so maybe some extra cardio machine would be useful to add. Cheap prices. Super happy with that !

J. L.

Relatively new so still in reasonably good nick. Lockers need repairing. Equipment is functional and access is 24hrs. Staff are friendly though scarce. Place is kept clean and tidy. It is as PureGym is.

D. W.

This gym is pretty good for the tiny price you pay - your not going to find cheaper anywhere else and there is no contract duration which means you can leave if and whenever you like. The only drawback is between 5pm - 8pm the gym is so busy you can't get on anything and you might as well forget the free weights section - even if there is a free bench the weights are left out all over the place. I'd also be careful about taking valuables with you as there was a spate of robberies recently, fair play to Pure gym though they did deal with the situation admirably.

D.

Pretty decent gym, it had everything I expected as an amateur gym goer and the free classes were really good when I attended them. It's not too expensive either! Could do with a car park though, not having one was a deal-breaker for me and my girlfriend when we moved further away.

E. P.

Cheap prices and can Opt-out when you like very convenient

R. C.

Very. Good gym considering what you pay. Bear in mind though during peak times ,which are usually 5pm-9pm weekdays,it gets very busy and you'll be waiting a while for equipment especially in the free weights area. That being said it's open 24hrs so you can fit in a session at a time that's best for you.

A. B.

It is a 24h gym used to be better now needs a lot of improvement. Unfortunately at the moment, the equipments are always broken...

C. A.

I love it! It has a vibe that makes you want to workout for a long time. Some equipment are faulty and need checks, but most are good quality. Well rounded personal trainers. Good classes

J. R.

I've moved from this gym now but it was decent enough, showers could be better but the rest was fine. Beware stair climb to get out of place/to female changing! :p

r.

Like most other commercial gyms too small to accommodate all of it's members. Had to wait to use almost every piece of equipment.

B. P.

Great gym in terms of size and facilities, but it does get frustratingly busy at peak times and there is an issue with gym etiquette there ie. putting weights away after use.

N. M.

Visited for the first time this morning. It's a nice big space and didn't feel cramped despite how busy it was, but there were two or three faulty pieces of equipment and some missing weights. Not quite up to the standard of some other PureGym locations, unfortunately.

L. B.

big gym but does get jam packed, bit messy so it's a struggle sometimes to find kettle bells and other bits as they're all over the place. No cushion thing for the smith machine either do squats are no go

B. I. B.

I don't normally go when it is busy, yet all the benches are still taken up. Only 1 conventional bench but 3 squat racks that double up. Would like to see more benches at this gym

S. D.

PureGym Birmingham city centre is located at Fiveways Entertainment Centre. Gym has 2 floors. First floor mainly has cardio machines- running, cycling, climbing etc. Floor at downstairs has weight training machine. This floor is huge and has several machines. There are few machines which need maintainance. However, at peak times after 16h on weekday it gets very crowded and difficult to find empty machines.

J. C.

Nice equipment and lots of space, but too busy even after 11pm

M. L.

Really great staff and great equipment

K. H.

Was very sceptical about going here but I was very pleased after my first trip. Lots of space, great machines, and very clean. Genuinely enjoy coming here for my workouts.

C. C.

Cleaner than other local gyms with a good selection of equipment. Lots of broken stuff though. Majority of the lockers don't work

g. 8. o.

Always full decent euipment just depends on what training u looking to do more machine based then free weights

D. “. M.

Amazing gym... Good people... good staff... good equipment.... but you lose one star and that for nothing you guys did wrong... its just at times it gets sooo full there is a que at a machine... for the hench guy to finish his set... It would be awsome if you guys could expand!

G. P. L. M.

There is enough space, weights and machines but is more than 1 year that the refurbishment is going on reducing the space and taking out some machines. and no actual work has been done yet.

J. A.

OK equipment, but staff don't care and the place is very dirty. Not good for powerlifting due to low quality bars but for bodybuilding it's OK.

L. B.

Good gym. Friendly staff. Can be abit busy at peak times. Lots of equipment for the price thou

I. Z.

Great gym, love that it's 24hrs, and theres loads of equipment but it does get really busy at times and your waiting around to use something, only down point is if you ride a motorcycle and want to park outside in the free motorcycle area you CANT as you get people who think they can park across the whole cycle area which is only a car length but u can get 5+ bikes in that bit.

T. M. L.

Amazing place, amazing staff, amazing people

If you cant train between the hours of 12am and 6am on weekdays, dont even bother. Busy, noisy and underequipped. However, extremely cheap. You get what you pay for. Just go in the twilight hours.

Pros: - cheap - open 24/7 Cons: - toilets are not well maintained - they constantly smell - toilets are clogged many many times - toilet taps are constantly running - distribution of weights is not ideal ( for example, there aren’t many 5/10kg weights, while there are lots of 15/20/25 kg)

j. l.

(Translated) It's very nice. Very big. It has a wide variety of devices. The teachers are friendly. I still have a hard time understanding some things in English and they don't lose patience: D (Original) Está muy bien. Muy grande. Tiene gran variedad de aparatos. Los profes son amables. Aún me cuesta entender algunas cosas en inglés y ellos no pierden la paciencia :D
