I was told when I joined the gym that it has Wi Fi but the signal is so low you cannot even log on. So you cannot see the settings they recommend you to do.

A. M.

Has its busy spells, and not everyone cleans after they use the machinery. Other than that the staff are helpful and friendly!

O. T.

For some reason nobody else using this gym seemed to put the freeweights back in the correct places (out of hours so no staff around to sort it) and there were a few teens messing around with the doors. Facilities were in line with any other puregym

S. L.

Good gym with sanitizer provided. The personal trainers are helpful and knowledgeable, especially Pete Jenks.

L. P.

Small gym space below, upstairs is well equipped and larger. There's a studio as well Car park, can get very busy at peak times.

Went to have a look around the gym with the idea of switching from another gym in the area - I walk past Pure Gym everyday on my way to and from work so it is more convenient and more likely for me to go in there! My other gym was on Shirley high street and my motivation to go there from work is very low as by the time I get in from work I don't want to go out again - this one I have no excuse now if I take my gym stuff to work with me! Loved the layout and feel of the gym, my partner and I were shown around by Jeff who was very welcoming and told us all that we need to know and was super helpful! I've already signed up, downloaded the app and am very impressed by all the workout suggestions etc on there which was unexpected as the old gym app never had any of that. I'm excited to get started!

H. N.

I loved PureGym Shirley but since lockdown and now reopening I have a few issues, hence it’s gone from 5 stars from me to 3. Firstly all the classes that I used to like (Zumba, Pilates, Yoga) now have a £4 surcharge per class, so the staff get paid I believe, but PureGym should be paying them anyway and I’m feeling it’s not right we now pay extra for those classes! I am not prepared to pay an extra £12 a week on top. Also, the classes I have been attending have been oversubscribed, we get to class told there is 24 or so in the class but 18 is supposed to be the maximum because of covid guidelines. Because the app let us book they rightly say they can’t turn any of us away and we’ll make do. That was ok for a week or 2 while they sort the app but this continues to happen and I am not happy about the recommendation being exploited and packing us in, I paid the extra so I could make sure I could book in time but it seems unlimited and may as well go for basic membership. Other than that the gym is clean and well equipped but I think with this new rising of cases in covid I will leave for awhile but if PureGym would like to let me know when/if they sort sort the booking system and if all classes will go back to included then I would be interested in rejoining at some point in the not too distant future.

Good gym, 24 hours. For the price, great.

A. T.

Cleanliness wise - 5 stars as there were plenty of wipes/spray stations and people at that time (5.30am) were being really diligent with cleaning equipment after themselves. Machines too close were clearly marked Do Not Use and everything else well spaced out. Giving it 4 stars due to not being able to connect to wifi to listen to music and the 4G signal is non existent. Will have to download music to my phone and then it'll be a 5 star experience I'm sure!

P. H.

Excellent Gym, especially since the recent refurbishment. Also the PTs there are a super friendly bunch who go out of their way to help clients and gym members generally. Totally recommended.

A. m.

A nice spacious clean gym! Split on two levels with plenty of gym equipment to use even in the peak times Good changing room facilities with showers And hair dryers in the lady's changing rooms Lots of class choices for all abilities with enthusiastic gym instructors with encouraging music. Key fob can be bought for quicker entry. Vending machines could do with offering some affordable healthy food snacks the protein bars can be quite pricey.

S. M.

Not a bad gym, it's what you'd expect for the price and the people that work there are really helpful and there's lots of space. As someone who is very shy it makes a big difference to me to have approachable trainers (they are) and to have the cardio area separate from the weights area as I can feel very self conscious. The only two issues I have are 1) the ladies toilets are not very well maintained and often smell (on my last visit there were tampon applicators on the floor by the sanitary bin and a used pantyliner on the floor near the lockers, they were still there an hour later) 2) there are never enough exercise mats in the weights area upstairs (often 2-3) and the spares are in the studios which is a bit awkward if there's a class going on. It would be great if these were accessible at all times Overall I would recommend this gym :)

O. S.

Excellent local gym with plenty of weight lifting gear given the size. The equipment is new and the gym is now open 24/7 - although sadly the washrooms close between 0000 and 0500. Trainers are excellent with some competing in national drug free power lifting competitions.

S. L.

Large, airy gym. Nice changing room facilities. Plenty of staff/PTs to help if needed. Cheap gym, 24hours, great if you just want to get on with your own thing. When it gets busy in the morning/afternoon you will have to wait for some resistance machines downstairs, but I found this to be no big issue.

P. P.

Awesome gym. It has all the equipment you could ever need. Amazing facility.

H. E.

Whilst the pin system to gain access to/leave the gym is a little irritating, especially when a class has just finished, PureGym Shirley is a spacious gym in two levels with a range of equipment conveniently open 24/7. It has a large car park that has never been full in my experience. Certain periods can be a little crowded to access equipment, however the app allows you to see how many people are at the gym so you can decide when is best to go. Otherwise a great, convenient and cheap place for a regular work out.

W. T.

All round good gym. Ample parking, easy access, good equipment and helpful staff. My only complaint would be the showers. They have deteriorated recently giving off a pretty bad odor. Hopefully this will be rectified soon.

M. J.

You know what you are getting with pure gym. The weights, the equipment, the picture of the vespa with 800 mirrors but this one succeeded in feeling personable so thank you. The weights and some machines are on different floors which is going to make some super sets a pain but a good experience

A. K.

Pretty good gym. Though get very crowded during the peak time and it becomes impossible to use certain types of equipment. I pretty hate showers there, as there is no water temperature control, so you are forced to used boiling hot water. Also, I am missing more equipment for pull ups

G. M.

Typical puregym with typical facilities, a lot of equipments available and staff are happy to be approached. Large free car park and good and clean shower facilities, both disabled and men's changing rooms. Good weight section and plenty of lockers available. Classes are top notch!

D. H. B.

The gym is ok. Has a good range of equipment. However, the PT's will take over machines even when they aren't using them and will also push people off machines. Unfortunately the gym gets so busy it becomes un-usable. So any time between 4pm and 9pm it is too crowded. This actually becomes a bit dangerous around the free-weights area. Some things in this gym have not been thought through when designing it. mirrors on walls are always very useful to check technique / body position & body movement when squatting, lunging, dead-lifting etc... to avoid injuries. The mirrors can't be seen from the lifting racks. They have also put very large spot lights directly above the free-weight lifting benches, meaning that you get blinded by them and when you come off the bench you have a dark spot in your eyes. There is unfortunately no room to move the benches elsewhere.

J. N.

Good place to go and workout, everyone keeps to themselves which is nice when you just wanna go and forget about stuff. The staff here are amazingly nice to everyone and so are the trainers. The place isn't as big as you might want so some stuff might be taken and you don't have any other option but to do something else while you wait, but other than that it's a great gym. 👍👍👍👍

S. W.

Great place to go start your fitness journey and reasonable fees. Extra classes if you also wish. Plenty of great equipment to use towards your fitness goals. And instructors are useful for advice.

M. C.

The gym is well equipt and to a very good spec, pretty much what I would expect from a Pure Gym. But in my opinion, the gym is too dark, maybe due to the building its in, there was little to no natural light inside, making it seem dark and gloomy.

D. H.

Decent enough facilities, and incredibly good value for money. Would recommend however there isn't great gym etiquette amongst members, with weights barely ever being taken off of bars and racked, or just left lying on the ground.

S. S.

Great gym and fitness club. It cost a bit more than other clubs, but when you pay a premium, you also get a premium. Gym comes with a swimming pool, sauna, great equipment, and is not as full as other cheaper clubs. And there is not contract anymore. You pay extra and you get extra.

a. T.

I like this gym...great facilities...lovely staff

L. H.

It's very nice good equipment and plenty of it. The place is slightly small and has low ceilings. There is also no windows so can feel very dark. The facilities are really good but it is very busy

K. F.

Reasonably priced gym with lots of equipment and classes but the place itself is a bit grim. Tired, cluttered, dark and in desperate need of a refurb to bring it up to the standard of others nearby.

G. J.

Useful place to do your own workouts. If you're after group classes then good luck with booking. Facilities are good too with ample lockers and equipment.

K. J. T.

Good variety and quality of classes and really friendly instructors. Good amount and range of equipment. Locker and changing facilities. Vending machines. Great budget gym.

M. H. /. d. m.

Very great place to work out

J. R.

A nice and simple gym that is maybe not the biggest but it crams a load of kit into the space it has. Great for a simple workout, and usually not overly busy.

J. H.

Gym facilities are really good but no matter what time you go you are always waiting for a bench.

C. H.

A very good Gym. Lots of different exercises to do. Very clean.

J.

Good place, cheap enough, and has all the equipment that you need and open 24/7, just a shame it got rid of the swimming pool and sauna.

J. H.

Standard puregym but they have a pathetic amount of benches in the free weight section

K. K.

A standard pure gym, lots of equipment, free classes, free parking and no frills. Can get busy at peak times. Not much more to say.

P. S.

Not to busy, don't have to wait a long time to use equipment. Decent size parking and inside is good enough for what You paying for.

G. B.

They have sufficient equipment for my workout, at times you could be waiting a while for the next machine.

J. M. D.

Great gym equipment. This place needs more customer service. No one approached me to see if I needed help and my induction was aqward.

k. H.

Gym is clean and easy to use with parking outside but i find going in daytime best as it gets too busy after 5/6pm

M. T.

Clean easy going gym with good equipment, some free weights and a nice atmosphere

C. L.

A very affordable, no nonsence Gym, plenty of equiptment, open around the clock with free on site parking 😎

G. W.

Well equipped budget gym. Some equipment in need of maintenance and avoid peak times to get a chance of using workstations.

M. W.

Lots of equipment, multiple Squat racks. 2 hours free parking

V. T.

Can find a lot of equipment, but some of them are absent. Actually all equipment are new. Also there you can book a class for free. But on the evening there are a lot of people

K. M.

L. 1.

Great place with a fantastic selection of equipment, everyone's very friendly and willing to help.

A. G.

Great gym - and good atmosphere.

J. J.

Cheap and cheerful, thought PT's are often annoying playing loud music / making lots of noise etc. also often bits of broken equipment and the functional equipment is a little dated

R.

Clean and well spaced out ... option of personal trainers or you can just go in and get on with your own work out

N. M.

The gym and equipment is all good.

D. R.

Usually crowded, they need to expand, but flexible hours and near the main hospital which is good for people working there

N. T.

Great value for money 24/7 gym. Changing room could do with refurb but otherwise good

J. G. T.

It may be open 24/7, however it is so busy most of the times that you cannot have a proper workout without waiting for someone else to finish his/her exercise before you can use the machine.

C. D.

Out of the 3 pure gyms in Southampton this is definitely the least busy 👌

D. R.

T. M.

L. K.

Good gym but not enough space downstairs

T. F.

Would get 5 stars apart from the number of bozos sitting on workout machines messing with their mobile phones, when others just want to work out.

D. F.

Massive improvement, would be five stars if open 24/7 like every other pure gym

H. K.
