M. G.

Gym, necessary place for new age lifestyle. I joined caversham branch coz its nearby. It has huge parking space to park your car however I walk as it takes only 3 mins. Lots and lots of equipment you can choose, multiple areas of cardio, functional, hardcore and sessions. Trainers are professional and helpful however if there would be multiple trainers then it would be good ( only minus point I can say). Overall its great for your health and affordable on your budget as it starts with just £15 per month. Stay fit, stay blessed!!! Cheers to life!!!

E. S.

Great gym and with amazing facilities, equipment. Staff are so helpful and really easy going. Especially Helena showing me the ropes and tricks of the gym

F. E. A.

I love puregym, my go to gym. Fully equipped gym with friendly staff. I always work out here and I enjoy it.

B. G.

This review would be 5 stars as the equipment is great and the staff are friendly and efficient. However, recently the number of cleaning stations has halved which is especially an issue in the weights section. Barely anyone is cleaning down the equipment. This was not an issue when there was a cleaning station in the middle of the weights section. Though a reduction in paper waste may be a plus, the flipside is that the cleanliness gets worse. With the new Covid variant it would be good to feel safe again in the gym. A good gym, just a lack of cleaning stations!

C. R. Y.

Loved it and daily I will go to this gym. Lot of instruments and good place for workout.

Z. J.

Solid gym. Sometimes when the gym is full it can get a bit stuffy, so I'm wondering if there's a way to enhance ventilation, especially since there's a gigantic garage door where the gym is? Thanks

A. W. (.

It's a clean, straightforward, well equipped gym. Only criticism is it could do with a few more staff. There's barely anyone there when I go. For all that though it works well as an automated system.

S. R.

It's a PureGym. Enough equipment for all your fitness needs. Slightly let down by the toilets.

I. S.

The gym is great, especially since they've redone the weights area, has every machine you need and a lot of platforms. The community feeling is lacking a bit here though, which can make a gym experience so much better

B. C.

Good gym can get busy but the app lets you know ! Lots of equipment...

K. C.

Very good, has alot of good equipment, a little cramped for walk space tho

W. T.

Good no frills gym, usually do not have to wait too long to use equipment but usually avoid visiting Mondays/Thursday evenings as it is packed. Unfortunately the majority of members do not wear facemasks while moving around the gym, they are putting others at risk.

D. C.

Been going for several months now and always been a good experience. It's accessible 24/7 which is great. The facilities are always in good condition and even at busy times, You rarely have to wait to use a machine. The aerobics and mats section definitely could be bigger though as it's always crowded and sometimes I've had to wait. I can't let that hold back a 5 star review for an otherwise great gym.

M. V.

A great gym with lots of equipment and space. Great classes too! The only downside is how crowded it gets on weekday evenings.

R. A.

Lovely well equipped gym. Fresh, tidy and friendly. Busy enough to know that it's popular. Plenty of good machines. Try a complimentary massage after your workout.

d. b.

Best gym in Reading. All gym members and staff are extremely friendly, and everyone is well on top of maintaining social distancing, cleaning all weights as well as putting it back. Great atmosphere too. Highly recommend checking out!

J. K.

Great gym with lots of equipment and very friendly staff. It can be busy in Jan and certain evenings throughout the year but if you are flexible in your workout then I have never had trouble getting on equipment. Very reasonably priced and classes included.

S. K.

Perfect gym! Best equipment. And with all the facilities that you need. Clean environment, outstanding hydromassage chair and very tasty Yanga drink replenishments . Highly recommend

M. d. L.

Excellent gym. It's got the atmosphere of a top class sports club at quite affordable prices. They've taken hygiene very seriously and have put lots of COVID safety meassures in place. I love it!

D. P.

Excellent place to go, very good equipment and I really enjoyed the rowing machines. I also like how most equipment is simple to use. The area is clean and well maintained, with access to changing rooms, toilets and lockers. You should bring your own lock or you can buy one from the vending machines, of course not essential. I would recommend this gym.

A. M.

Negatives: Very busy in the evenings. Low ceilings in free weight section make certain exercises tricky or unfeasible if you are above average in height. 2 Smith machines... Positives: Improved layout since the refurb. Very clean and tidy for a gym with this many people coming in and out. Nice feel to the place. Better equipment all around in comparison to other chain gyms in the area.

K. C.

First visit today and very well laid out with plenty of signs around and cleaning stations.

C. B.

Well set out ....clean....good atmosphere

J. P. S. F.

I've been going to this gym for quite a while and I can say it is highly recommended. The choice of equipment is quite good. There is an upper floor if you prefer to work out in a more quiet place. The environment is great. The music is quite annoying but to be honest this is the case with pretty much every gym I have visited. Give it a go and you will not regret it. When I started going there I was a little overwhelmed but people in the gym was quite friendly and helpful and after around two years I keep going every week.

S. G.

good to have 24 access. lots of different quality equipment to work out in. great shower and special offers just 10 pound a month for 3 months. only problem is no pooling or steam room. also need your own padlocks for lock. also finess equipment no TV to watch sports on worker machines.

A. S.

Can't be beaten for the price, probably the largest variety of weight machines I've ever seen. They have equipment for movements I'd never imagined existed. Free parking, free WiFi, and plenty of staff if you need assistance. Would definitely recommend, although it can get busy. If you choose to sign up, you may want to time your first visit for when it's less busy.

J. L.

Like most puregyms- very busy at peak times and can be frustrating trying to use required equipment. Could perhaps do with another 1-2 squat racks. Nobody seems to have towels/wipe equipment after use and this policy is not upheld from what I've seen, so remember to wash your hands. Classes tend to book up fast. On the whole, good value for money- probably better gyms in Reading, but not at the price/flexible times offered

G. P.

The gym is good and functional. You can tell that it's an older one though. Some machines, like a lying leg curl machine, are missing. The weights section can get busy. Seems lacking in smaller weights (1-10kg) dumbbells. Showers and changing rooms are always clean and the people using the gym are normally courteous and friendly.

R. O.

A really spacious gym with lots of kit spread over two floors, memberships are good value and instructors are cheerful and available to help. Can become busy at peak times after work hours but open 24/7 and always clean.

S. G.

Really good value membership which gives access to clean changing rooms and showers. Equipment available is great too. Trainers are on hand to give tips, but leave you to your own devices if that is what you want too.

M. E.

Great equipment, open 24/7, choice of gyms (three in Reading all included in the membership), plenty of parking!

S. K.

Best GYM in Reading. Huge and vast gym comprise of 2 floors. Enough equipments and do run their free and paid classes as well. Open 24*7 and is under monitoring all the time. Provides lockers and drinking water in the premises.

J. G.

Very good gym, great selection of classes, weights and machines. I often go the gym in the middle of the night, but the gym music is typically a bit loud for that time of day. Apart from that it’s a great 24 hour gym

A. H.

Great gym, well equipped and reasonably priced with trainers always available to help. Only complaint - PLEASE invest in a couple more Olympic bars. There's a lot of waiting around. Thanks :)

D. B.

Pure Gym is great. Very good price and flexible times. No need to pay £40mth when you can pay less than £20. For too long we've all been had by the more expensive gyms.

S. M.

For a budget gym this place is brilliant. I've been going to various gyms for the last 20 years and if you forget the extras like swimming pools and spas this is by far the best gym I've been to and it only costs £20 a month! Everything appears well maintained. If something breaks, as they can do, they are fixed quickly (can't say that about most gyms). Maintenance guys are on site so things break less than else where. There's an excellent range of fixed weights and free weights and enough of them so that queuing is at a minimum during the busy parts of the day . . . and there's no queuing at all during the rest of the time. Theres loads of classes that are free (although personally I don't use them much but it's nice to have the option). The changing rooms are nice and clean. My only complaint, and this is me scrapping around for something negative, is that you can't choose the temperature of the water in the shower. If that's the only thing I can whinge about then I'd say it's a great gym to join. If you're thinking about it then DO IT! :)

F. S.

I really like this gym (so much so that I switched from the previous one I used to go to in London TCR). it's spacious, clean, lots of classes and instructors are friendly

D. D. S.

Gets too busy at peak times you have to qiuew to use equipment. Quite small and locker room smells. There are 3 squat racks but it's usually used by people doing bench press or bicep curls.

A. M. G.

Great variety of class, big gym full of machines you know. 24/7. Usually pretty busy but you always find a spot even when it's busy.

N. T.

Open 24/7 - which is very convenient... The price is very affordable and they have top class equipments... Just note that during rush hour (i.e. from 5pm - 8pm), you may struggle to find any equipment to use and you might have to wait to use them...

M. W.

Lots of threadmills although Ive never seen them all used. You can easily find room for cardio or streching. There are massaging chairs too. Lifting section is small and busy except night.

J. S.

Good selection of equipment and classes. I would be happier if there were paper towels and disinfectant spray to wipe down equipment with, instead of relying on people to use their towels, but otherwise no big complaints.

R. N.

Good value gym with tonnes of equipment and great atmosphere (not daunting for non gym bunnies)

M. (.

Fantastic gym, great price, trainers are always around helping people out. If you aren't looking for any of the extra stuff like a pool and a steam room, this is the best gym you could ask for.

S. S.

Very clean and almost all tools and training equipments are in the gym. I'm very happy with it. Thank you

J. C.

Absolutely great place , if you love gibbons and orangutans it's a best place in UK to see them.

J. M.

It's a good gym once you get used to getting in and out. I like the different options you get in the gym. Sometimes can be over crowded

A. H.

Good basic gym for the money. Good range of equipment and classes. Can be busy straight after work but otherwise ok. PS. Bring your own towel.

I. O.

Gym gets too packed, it's excesively loaded of unused cardio equipment, lack of basic fitness equipment (hello incline leg press? Leg hack press?), too hot inside... Shame I came from another city with a superb pure gym, but this one does not live up to the expectations...

M. S.

All good with the newly refurbished interior. Only the body weighing thing should have been free. This is just too basic thing to ask in a gym.

A. L.

very good not to much people I could get on machines when I wanted and very clean really good job sanitising down the areas and machines

A. C.

Well equipped and maintained gym. Friendly staff who put on enjoyable classes. They will also spend time making sure technique is correct.

V.

Good gym for the monthly membership. Lockers are a nightmare to lock, they get stack and cant bw closed but they rest its ok.

P. H.

Cheap gym with good equipment and classes. Busy at peak periods (i.e. 5-7pm) but no surprise there.

M. J.

Great gym, can get on most equipment even when very busy. Air con is very useful too!

S.

Good variety of training, regularly cleaned. Decent changing rooms. 3 squat racks, lots of machines and cardio equipment

V. N.

It offers what a 24 hrs gym has but the equipment is not so great. I wouldn't do a proper weights session here only used to do cardio here.

S. M.

A cheap gym with good facilities. The only thing I don't like is that the studio is visible from the cardio area. I would have preferred for it to be less visible.

H. F.

Gets pretty busy but equipment is in good order, changing rooms are clean and gym is good value.

s. v.

Gym maintainance is good. Cleanliness are well maintained.

D. W.

J. A.
