Reviews of PureGym London Sydenham

K. I. (.

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of this gym. It's actually quite big. I love it that there are so many different rooms for different workouts. But definitely missing some of the basic essentials such as resistance bands and barbell foam pads. I think group exercises can do with instructors that actually do the exercises to motivate and push you! Rather than just walk around the room!

O. O.

Nice atmosphere and plenty of equipment to use. Giving it 4 stars due to the state of the men's toilets on Sunday, however they'd been cleaned and cleared by Monday morning, so all in all, well maintained.

M. B.

My regular gym. Nice atmosphere. Like any gym try to avoid busy periods otherwise it's a long wait for equipment. Only bug bear is that there are lots of classes that means the main studio is out of bounds often for stretching after work outs.

N. C.

I ended my membership as I am moving away but had to leave a nice review. I had a great experience with this gym: clean, staff is friendly and classes are absolutely amazing even in comparison to gyms with more expensive memberships. Great sense of community, trainers make the effort to remember your name especially when you are a regular in their classes. Classes are always fun but intense at the same time. Big shoutout to Kamarl, Alfred, Marlon and Nathaniel - my favourite classes were usually led by them (they play some great music too!).

A. B.

Staff friendly and helpful. Equipment could be cleaner especially the parts close to the ground. You can see grime marks which is unpleasant. Still few people don't clean after use, though majority do. Cleaning stations always fully stocked. Not used showers but ladies ones seems clean. Toilets always clean. Generally a nice atmosphere with a wide range of ages using the equipment.

S. H.

Decent PureGym. The staff here are really friendly and pretty much always say hello when you come in. Big free weights section downstairs and then cardio and machines upstairs. There’s also a CrossFit style area, a cycle studio and another big studio for classes.

J. C.

I have always considered this to be a fantastic gym and now with the new refurbishments it’s even better. The staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable regarding everything to do with fitness and nutrition. And unlike some other gyms that I have used they show a genuine interest in their customers. If you are considering going to a gym and this is your local one I would recommend signing up. You won’t regret it.

k. w.

Fantastic staff here. Unfortunately I can only rate it 5 stars because of crowding issues- there are just too many people for the weights area.

D. S.

I love this gym, it has very good and varied classes and above all the instructors are very friendly and outstanding that we are doing the exercise well, I recommend it

T. T. (. E.

Brilliant facilities, they've upgraded their entrance security whereby the user can scan their code of the pure gym app for ease of access. The staff were welcoming, gym members are prompted to clean equipment before and after use and most comply. They deep clean every night and have cleaning staff constantly cleaning throughout the day. Very safe environment. Only criticism is that it is smaller than other puregyms and it seems to get quite busy on peak times.

P. D.

Great gym with a recent refurbishment and upgraded equipment. Plenty of classes and overall great value. Have also been doing personal training with Mo Afifi for the last year which has been brilliant - he initially helped me recovery from a serious injury but it then moved to overall fitness and I have never been in better shape. Excellent gym and staff and highly recommended.

M. b.

They clean this place well, not to packed workers are friendly and always keeping the place tidy.... Good gym

J. G.

An ok gym friendly staff and atmosphere but unsuitable for those serious about strength training due to the lack of equipment. No decent bars, platforms, bumper plates, sled run, I could go on. Fairly well equipped for cardio equipment but lacking a watt bike

I started in December 2020 but it closed due to lockdown. Having recently reopened, a lot of refurbishment has been done. There is a lot more space, the cardio equipment has social distanced markers. The studio, weights area & changing room are all clean. Clients and personel trainers frequently wipe down equipment & pack weights & mats away. Every member of staff is approachable. My personal trainer is extremely professional. I find the gym very welcoming & feel no intimidation by members or staff. Also, I like the Yanga water!

H. C.

I think it is great for the price and considering there is not that many options around however I am just disappointed with the classes. Basically the staff run the classes (which is ok as it is cheap so I understand they are not having guests trainers) but most of the times the coaches do not even do the exercises with us which I find not really motivating. I have been on a spin class where the trainer did not once go on the bike. I went to a box fit session (which according to me is not BoxFit but more aerobic..) where the trainer just clapped in his hands saying "quick quick" but not doing any of the exercises himself... so I find it harder to be motivated if you cant be inspired by the trainer.. I also question some of the movements that we are being asked to do... like overly moving your shoulders while cycling is probably not the best for your back.

C. R.

MORE SIGNAGE NEEDED This gym needs more and better placed signs that make it clear to NEW and DISABLED users, where the facilities are. I recently attended this gym and got confused by the poor and misplaced signage, where I had to ask a member of staff for help. The path to the men's changing rooms were not clear; there should be signs on the floor and on the walls to better direct the users where to go. Please look into this PureGym.

B. S.

Too congested during the week from 18:00 - 21:00, but a great gym.

E. M.

Amazingly good, nice and very clean, I noticed the equipment being wiped every now and then more importantly the gym doesn't get pack way to much at all as they is a limit on admittance

M. O.

Great affordable gym. Love the new refurb. Can sometimes be a bit crowded, but given the price point and lack of other options in the area, that's understandable.

S. P.

Great changes from the old pure gym Sydenham. The arrangement ks much better. My friend said its a bit dark inside but I don't mind. Overall its an improvement from the previous set up.

V. u.

A lot of equipment, all very clean, all good

A. N.

very clean, nice staff and users

V. G.

It's a lovely neighbourhood gym, clean and usually not overpacked. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is that sometimes when the personal tutors approach you to suggest that you have sessions with them, you kind of feel pressure to say no. Other than that it's a lovely place. I've been going there for the past 8 months!

A. C.

Great place to work out

B. P.

Easy to find gym located well close to Sydenham Station. Also bus routes stop outside. The gym has sufficient machines and generally in busy times is still OK for use without to much waiting. You do however get some street rats that hog benches and machines at peak times, doesn't help that there's a nandos next door as well. Clean nice gym at a good price.

M. D.

Pretty good gym, good equipment, mostly clean. The area for using mats is a bit on the small side (only allows four people to work out). I'm a member of a Central London gym but use Pure Gym's short term memberships whenever I'm nearer home. Like the 24 hour access - innovative!

R. C.

Great gym, alot bigger then what it looks, very clean and well looked after. Classes are good, especially Thursday morning spin class, defo my favourite and try to make it every week good routine and far from boring. Been a member for over a year now and very happy with the service. Can get quiet busy but I don’t mind as I tend to use the gym between 9am-2pm which isn’t soo bad

A. B.

I've been in quite a few of Pure Gym's fitness centres and I am overall impressed with their variety of facilities. The instructors are also nice. The one thing that I don't like, even though I know they have to do it, is when they turn the air conditioning on a too low temperature and at the same time the flow is too high. On a couple of occasions I am sweating myself out in the middle of my training when I feel the cold stream coming. I've had situations where I had to leave in order to avoid catching a cold. Once I indeed caught one. Even though I don't like that I will still continue going to the gym though.

T. G.

Great gym best trainer in the building Briony Rampling hands down 🙌 @bodybybriony

J. L.

It's a good gym and the 24 hour access means you can access it at times when fewer people will be there. However if you have to go when it's busy the small place can become very claustrophobic. I went through a good spell of motivation where I would get in at 5am and it still had about 15 people in there already.

Basic gym with no pool, sauna, steam room etc, but cheap membership. Classes book up quickly, Good selection of equipment. Freeweights sometimes looks a bit of a war zone early in the morning. Can get busy at peak times....

L. T.

For the price of membership you can't argue. At peak times can be difficult to get the standard of workout you might be after, especially if gym users are in groups around certain machines. However, good etiquette for the most part and staff always on hand and happy to help. EDIT: Can get very airless, air conditioning is variable.

Good gym but 3 stars due to layout, half of equipment upstairs and free weight downstairs. If you want to superset with machine and free weights this is not the place. Downstairs the ceiling is really low so if you are tall OHP is not much of an option as part of your program, get really busy during peak times and is hard to get plates to load your bar you may spend alot of times waiting for plates or a area to work out, so I often go off peak and it's ok at that time, also lack of leg equipment, squat racks usually occupied with ppl doing chest or back work and there is no hack squat machine here, only 1 plate loaded leg press, no seated/donkey calf machine...if you an average lifter then this is ok if you want to make serious gains and can only train peak time I wouldn't recommend it. I still train here due to 24hr convienance comes in handy when I can't make it to my main gym. Changing rooms are ok the toilets smell horrible prob due to poor ventilation but are clean the very few times I have visited.

J. M.

Everything you need for real reasonable price, good selection of weights and cardio equipment. But is one of the busiest gyms I have been in meaning at peak time which is a lot of the time it is hard to go straight on to equipment. Providing tissue dispensers and antibacterial spray would improve the gym as well...

K. L.

It's ok. The flooring is uneven in places, which really needs to be looked at. If you're into cardio and classes it's a thumbs up, but for my liking there's is also not a lot of equipment (free weights or machines), probably due to the spin class area.

S. B.

Nice and well equipped gym. Only issue is that it can be very crowded in the evening between 5PM and 8:45PM. Everything else is OK and I would strongly recommend it if you plan on going to the gym in this area.

T. A.

When i first joined last year the gym worked for me.. Now its always packed.. I cant enjoy my workouts anymore.. Its a shame cos the gym has good equipment but way too many people... And it doesnt matter even u go late.. Still way too busy... But still a decent gym

L. T.

I was excited to start but was disappointed by the end of the induction. I was left on one of the equipment for 20 minutes thinking trainer was coming back to finish the induction but he didn't. I don't like the fact that you are unable to book a class that you would like to be in because it's over booked. If it's popular should there be more than one class Per day?

G. M.

Nice, clean gym. The staff members could interact with you a bit more and the hand sanitizer was empty for a week. But apart from that they have WiFi and free classes which are really good.

D. K.

Modern equipment, open 24/7, but cleanliness in changing rooms/showers is not of the highest standard and finding staff to help can be an issue as everyone seems to be a personal trainer working privately.

j. k.

Not the best of pure gyms I've been too. The machines are not clean and weights are everywhere on the floor not maintained well by stuff or people that go to this gym and does get very busy at times. End of the day it does the job and is closes pure gym to me

M. F.

Verily, my dear readers, I say unto you that this gymnasium is a cornucopia of things to lift both up and down, of mystical machines where one may run without moving forward, populated by herculean blockheads with bombastic vests and so on and so forth. It's got a pretty big free weights room which is safe, but remember to bring your own towel if you want a shower - the ones purchasable from the vending machine wouldn't fit around the waist of an emaciated kangaroo, so unless you're an exhibitionist it really is necessary. People keep saying they're aren't enough mirrors but they cover at least 50% of the walls. Clearly some peoples vanity is impossible to assuage. Should that make me sad. I don't know. Cool. Bye.

D. R.

Solid gym - and good value for money. Can get a little claustrophobic at times, and the squat/bench racks are normally taken, but a good variety of gear, good classes, and an easy going atmosphere

M. B.

It’s small but good gym with number of machines.clean and nice.but it should have windows so that fresh air could come in. Because we feel suffocated sometimes.

C. M.

Clean good I did 120 minute now blob lame

L. T.

Great value. Modern equipment, and enough for everyone. Good selection of free weights, class rooms, changing rooms are clean and have plenty of lockers.

P. A.

A decent enough location for a gym, which is fairly well stocked with machines, but the showers and changing rooms aren't great, the showers are on a push timer rather than taps so they cut out while you're washing or they continue on after you've finished... The keypad entry is nice enough as means that it doesn't need to be manned, and it's open 24/7, so easy to get to, but there is only street parking, so expect a walk to/from of you drive, but the station is really close

I. m.

The air is quite cold inside. Whilst using the bike machine and cross trainer especially, the coldness in that area causes my lungs to feel like they're going to shrink to raisins and then eventually kill me lol.

S. H.

Good gym with decent facilities, could use more heavy weight equipment, as you often have to wait if you go at peak times.

o. d. a.

Nice location. Opens 24hrs and a few minutes walk down the road to get a 24hr bus towards lewisham. Only shortcoming is the always smelly Men's changing room downstairs.

s. b.

Good clean well maintained gym lots of equipment and machines as well as large area for free weights, studio for classes, and an open area for own workouts.

J. J.

I would give more stars but they need to fix the smell of smoke that fills the place on a seemingly random basis. After a while it makes me feel nauseous. Other than that, I like the gym.

D. W.

Good, clean, good staff - men's taps have issues regarding soap dispenser for a couple of months now though, apart from that good service and memberships pricing

P. H.

Good gym, lots of equipment. Personal trainers are all really friendly and the classes are of a great standard

L. W.

Sick gym, has everything and anything you need. Although there are some hours where it can become very full, it is easy to work around this.

C. S.

Good gym, good people, good price, Bad smell in the men's changing room that smells like something has died in the wall... It's open 24 hours a day which is good !!

M. D.

Love this gym. Only thing missing is steam ans sauna rooms. Classes are great.

C. J.

Raheem Sterling-Parker Spin classes on a sunday are expectational. Basic gym where a few of the PT's really help to create a great sense of community

C. R.

Feels very aggressive compared to other places I've used close by. Weights are never put away and there is a board confirming how many members are suspended for this. Get in, do your bit and get out.
