Reviews of PureGym

B. L.

I absolutely love PureGym, which says a lot considering I’m the very definition of a home body. The atmosphere, the people and especially the equipment and the availability of the equipment is astonishing. Definitely would recommend visiting, it’s a great place to get in shape. I haven’t yet had the pleasure of using the shower room/changing rooms, or attending any classes but if you were to ask any other member of the gym I can assure u that they would have nothing but wonderful things to say.

S. V.

Cheap and cheerful, although avoid at peak times. Staff are very friendly and classes are fun. I have to say tho the rule to wipe down machines and equipment when finished is not enforced, with staff themselves not always wiping them either.

J. S.

PureGym Ipswich has recently got better due to the facilities being looked after.. I spoke to management about an issue that didn't get resolved at that time but recently spoke to new management that resolved the issue within a reasonable time.. now giving five stars for this reason alone! The gym is friendly and if you know what you are doing it's not a bad place to train. Decent floors and the equipment is what you would expect from a commercial gym. Hopefully the new management will only improve the experience rather than old management taking shortcuts. Keep up the good work.

D. S.

Fairly good gym with a modern look. I just did not like how limited areas for the most fundamental exercises were like squat racks and drop areas for deadlifts/ cleans. I like that it’s 24 hours and the way you enter the gym is pretty innovative.

C. W.

Think I prefer that people are still wiping down the equipment after use. Not everyone but most. Doesn't seem to be a lot of choice in classes - a far poorer selection than pre Covid days. All in all though it's a decent gym.

T. C.

First proper visit back after surgery & welcomed by Byron who made sure I felt ok.Clean,tidy,lots of space...just wish the showers worked longer.Felt good to be back.

T. R.

Friendly gym with a good selection of machines, classes. And theres something for everyone, whether it's weights, cardio, resistance areas and all things in between

A. A.

Been using pure gym for years, in general it has a friendly atmosphere and from my personal experience the personal trainers and staff are really helpful and polite. The gym is very well equipped and it's also very well maintained and clean, I feel the gym offers a lot from the membership including all the classes. Your able to train however you enjoy due to the range of different areas they have, from weights to cardio. Also what I really like about this gym, is stereotypically larger chain public gyms tend to frown upon heavier weights and compound lifts, especially deadlifts ect, not sure has experienced issues with this before but I have, but you will have no issues training hard and heavy in this gym if that's your preferred style. The only thing I can really say that I dislike is the gym can get very busy at peak times, which means it may be useful to try and choose the times you train, you can use the pure gym app to help you do this, which is what I usually do, as when the gym is very busy there are only 3 squat racks and you can sometimes wait a while if you need one for your session at these times. Overall it's a great gym, with great facilities and the staff are all very helpful and in my experience go out of their way to help if you need any hints or tips. For the price of the membership I'd say it's great value for money too.

S.

clean and tidy, some members don't wipe down equipment but can easily overcome this by doing it yourself. can be difficult to work out during busier times especially if you're using machines as there tends to be only one of each. overall lovely gym

D.

By far in my opinion best value for money!! Premium membership to and pure gym in the country for £26 24/7 is good value! I just wish they had more covid safety measures in place.... with around 50% of customer not wiping machines down after use and staff never say anything! The mask situation is bad as staff i have seen in 10 visits never ask customers to use a mask when coming in or leaving or going from one side of gym to the other.

s. b.

Great gym but plays music stupidly loud most of the time

R. B.

Good quality gym with a large range of equipment available, as well as a separate space for classes. The facilities were clean and well maintained and membership prices are very competitive. Only negative is I'd like to see more free weights, however if you're not interested in free weights this gym would be perfectly ideal.

R. A.

Wasn't too busy at 6.20 when I arrived. Free parking for 2 hours and plenty of equipment

b. c.

Been going for a month now, had no trouble at all. Staff always have a smile, changing rooms are nice and all equipment safe and clean.

M. C.

I have only been a member for a week and this is my first experience of a gym and can honestly say that this place is great! I did a couple of inductions on my first week to get a knowledge of the machines. The trainers have made me feel welcome and there's a friendly vibe in the gym. The changing facilities are clean and there's a good selection of equipment. I thought I would feel really self conscious as a beginner but I don't at all. You also get 2 hours free parking in the Buttermarket carpark.

l. r.

Good size gym. Came here as i had a 3 hour break in Ipswich and i wasn't disappointed. If Your a member of pure gym definitely give this place a go as its got a lot of equipment.

M. S.

Equipments need to be repair on time. Pure gym is letting us down not repairing on time. I believe if money comes out my account every month without any delay, I expect puregym to repair equipment on time.

J.

I just joined after switching gyms and I've only been once so far. I can't fault this place. I've seen complaints about it being busy but I went early afternoon on a weekday and there was 40 people in there according to the app but it felt like 5-10. Maybe 1-3 people on each section consisting of maybe 6-15 pieces of kit. Every gym will have a rush after 5pm and on the weekends so... If you're working Mon-fri 9-5, maybe go before work or later at night if you don't wish to be part of the same rush you're complaining about? They've used the layout of the venue so well that there's so many machines you can use which feel completely private - different levels, sections, and machine facing away from each other unlike the gym who have theirs all in rows? The strength training area is a bit daunting as it's far more open but they can't exactly change that part of the layout. Plenty of antibac spray and hand sanitiser stations, very clean, modern, and so much natural light. Music being played and a nice clean carpet really helps with the atmosphere. So the £19.99 isn't too bad, all things considered!

S. L.

Its pretty crowded all day for weights but lots of free cardio equipment. No heavy bags. App lies about how busy it is, 6am and not 1 peice of equipment free.

d. h.

Great place to workout friendly helpfull staff all the equipment u need for every type of exercise

M. A.

A Gym that has good people, good equipment and I enjoy going there...

B. P.

It is a good gym. Far too many treadmills and cardio machines. Nice and clean dressing room. 2 hrs free parking in the Buttermarket carpark. I like it overall.

R.

Ok gym, usually busy afternoon. If you don't live near but drive you get free parking at buttermarket car park wich is nice. Most annoying thing is in the shower. You have to keep pressing the thing as the water would stop after 1-2 seconds...

R. C.

I've been training at Pure Gym for the past 7 months and I really like the atmosphere. I commute each day so I have to train at strange times, which means the 24h access is perfect. I feel safe training outside normal hours, and find the range of equipment to be very good. Classes are also great, run frequently and have good instructors who make the class fun and challenging! I hired one of the personal trainers (Byron) about 3 months ago and am making great progress with his support and guidance. I love the latest edition of the hydro massage, it's worth having the extra membership just for your 10 minutes per day!

C.

Pretty good gym for its price. Much more room and equipment compared to the neighbouring gym in Stowmarket.

R. F.

Great value. The classes are excellent quality with friendly instructors. There is plenty of equipment for cardio and weights. The new class timetable is good, it is gradually updated. I feel claustrophobic in most gyms but I don't here as there's plenty of space.

J. S.

It’s a good solid gym for the price with lots of space and equipment. It does however need another water fountain (there’s one); more leg weight machines and a larger stretch area. Can get very busy before work, at lunchtimes and after schook/work. Maybe it’s my age but it can sometimes feel like you’ve walked into a youth club with weights. Generally good as a gym and definitely value for money.

a. n.

I have taken membership an year ago and have zero complaints/issues. Awesome.

D. M.

Such mixed feelings.... Ipswich gym, Great stuff, clean, tidy, well looked after. Very pleased. Admin staff (assume not at Ipswich).... Not so pleased with. I was an off peak member and while looking at the Bolt On's saw that I could get them all for just £5 a month more. I thought why not! £13.99 + £5 is great! Shocked when I see that my DD is now £25.99! Apparently the advert assumes your a Core member at £19.99 hence the 'only £5' False advertising!!!!. Now I've had about 6 emails back and forth trying to revert back to my bog standard off peak membership.. still struggling and almost at the point of just cancelling and joining The Gym instead. EDIT- changed back to 5 stars as its not Ipswich gyms fault that the Head Office staff didn't know what they were talking about. So Ipswich gym, well done, see you after Lockdown V2.

A.

24 hour large gym. Can get very busy during stand peak times but late nights and very early mornings are fine. Plenty of classes, machine a and free weights. Clean changing rooms and showers and helpful staff.

J. F.

Far to busy for a good workout. Only got two of only one machine eg chest fly machines. Never think about going past 4 as you’ll not get a workout in as everything is took. Staff seem engaging. The new equipment is a good point to make but if I was gonna join a new gym in Ipswich area. Maybe consider all gym option in the local area. (Update - after a long period of going to this gym the points made are still appreciate although now I am enjoying my experience much more now i am a regular and it’s nice to see familiar faces. They need to buy more equipment so when at peak times some sort of workout can be achieved, another note the personal trainers from what I’ve seen are very kind and friendly and seem to really engage with their clients definitely check consider them if you’re new to the gym)

W. P.

Not bad. Plenty of equipment...traditional geezers but located in the brozone exclusively. Easygoing environment relatively low for attitude. Am regular :)

R. S.

A well equipped gym at a good price. Could do with a few more "entry pods" as it can develop quite a queue. The showers are lava, to the point that I just shower at home. The free parking is very useful for a sneaky trip into town ;)

J. Q.

A great gym with a lot of equipment and not too crowded if you go at the right time. The showers could be cleaned more often than they are but for a budget gym it does the job.

A. S.

Amazing facilities for the price you pay. There is also an open studio with boxing gloves in it, which is great fun and exercise with friends. All the machines are very good quality and they really do give you a good workout on the targeted muscles. Additionally, there are many cardio options e.g. bikes, cross trainers, treadmills, rowing machines, skiing machines etc; there's just so much variety that you won't get bored.

M. “. E.

Wonderful gym to go to for all aspects that are needed. They have personal trainers and are 24 hrs plus there are loads of free classes to choose from and they only need you to book from the app you can download on your phone.

H. s.

Good gym, had lots of equipment for workout needs, good air con and redemption parking so you don’t have to pay extra. Only downside Is having to walk through a mall to get there and back... which isn’t great when you are hot and sweaty!

J. A.

There's no foam roller for the squat rack which is a must for lifting. Nice layout, cool motivational messages and decent designs. Lots of equipment. Just gutted about the foam roller really.

M. B.

Love PureGym, but it needs a Punchbag/Boxing area. Then it would be 5 stars. It's clean, good value and a nice atmosphere among its users.

S. H.

Great gym. Peak times can be busy but plenty of equipment to compensate. Clean and tidy, friendly atmosphere.

R. T.

Best gym in Ipswich, in my humble opinion. Plenty of choices, and they're open 24 hours. Exactly what I was looking for, due to my chaotic working pattern.

B. T.

Good gym. Lots of kit although can get busy in the evenings. Rarely have to wait to use something and there's usually something similar nearby anyway.

M. P.

I enjoy going have no trouble here can get busy at times good parking which is free for 2 hours glad I joined plus you can go any time plus I've used other pure gyms around the country

R. G.

It´s always packed... they do many promotions, so if price is a reason, go to this one... If you like to do your training, with less then 100 people around, dont go to this one...

D. M.

Really good gym, downside is that it's always packed, and most of the people in the gym are vain and love themselves too much or are showing off how much they lift

C. “. L.

Great gym, great classes, and super helpful PTs

M. W.

Really good gym. Open for 24 hours. Really well priced and you get 2 hours free parking in the Buttermarket as well.
