PureGym Gloucester Retail Park

Puregym is a very good gym but this branch is very bad.
Most of the equipments are old, not smooth and making sounds while you're using it.
The benches are so old and not stable, you can get injured easily.
No enough cleaning stations, ventilation is bad, no enough mirrors.
The equipments are not well organized, it's everywhere on the floor. It always takes time to find what you are looking for.
I would not recommend that gym, the other branch in quedgely is much better. Hopefully the management takes action and improve it.

I've just started going to this gym this month (06/22) as it's very convenient for me and 24/7.

The price is reasonable at £25.99 which allows you to freeze your membership and also gives access to the branded drinks station and any other PureGym locations. There's a basic subcription at £19.99 aswell.

As the location is still relatively new, the equipment is all in good order and clean enough to use. There's plenty of parking when I go in the AM as well. Locker room and showers etc look clean although I haven't used them. It's a little odd that they're located upstairs and at the far end though meaning you walk through the gym to the locker room.

Huge amount of cardio equipment mainly consisting of treadmills, steppers, bikes etc but only 2no. stairmasters right next to eachother.

The machines and weights section is downstairs but due to the large class area the weights section feels very enclosed right at the end of building. It contains racks, bench presses, benches, bars & the leg press meaning it's always busy. It's the only free weights section as well so personally it's quite intimidating as someone new to this gym.

The rest of the machines are placed throughout the ground floor and it just doesn't feel right? Something about the layout doesn't particularly click for me, it just seems hap hazard. There's a wide multitrainer and a couple normal multitrainers, pretty sure there's just 1 each of the typical machines you'd expect to find.

Upstairs opposite the cardio equipment is a mostly wasted space, there's a few mats and things but again it just isn't right.

Personally I'd do away with some treadmills, create a mat area at one end of the cardio equipment and have another free weights section running in front of the upstairs mirror. There isn't a lack of space in this gym, it's just a poor layout.

Ultimately I'll probably use this gym over summer as it's super convenient but I'm still on the lookout for a better one.

Good for someone looking to do cardio with some weights as opposed to the other way around.

Love PureGym Glos - every member of staff is lovely, easy to get along with and happy to help! Plenty of up-to-date equipment, a friendly environment and a fabulous app to help you motivate and plan your workouts! No swimming pool but that’s fine for me!

Used to use this one alot for its convenience being close to work. Plus the 24 hours availability from when on nights was a huge bonus

Even at busy times i didnt struggle to get on machines however free weights was a different story.

Good value for membership, good array of equipment, the showers and changing rooms are cleaned regularly. There is also good covid 19 measures with cleaning equipment spread across the gym.

Only real gripe is there is no boxing equipment here. A few punch bags and a couple boxfit courses a week would have kept me coming here instead of going to the quedgeley one instead due to change of jobs

It has a digital entrance system, with mobile app, it helps a lot with bookings. So far it hasnt been that crowded. Cleaning is much better since my last review. Good car parking facilities

Great gym very well equipped. Is is getting a bit dirty inside specially in the corners and edges of walls, could well be better cleaned. And another downside is that people keep "forgetting" to put the gear back to the right place after using it not thinking about other who will use the kit next. There should be reminders, and staff should also be reminding users, proactively and reactively, to put things back in place after using.

Your standard pure gym experience. However I do really like this pure gym as it is very bright and well spaced out. It’s also usually super clean and not very busy.

As with all gyms it would probably be better if they had just one more bench press and squat rack as they’re always busy even at non peak times.

Gym instructors / classes = all great. I’m not motivated enough to go to the gym on my own accord so the classes are perfect for me. I’ve been to a few different gyms when travelling for work but hands down this one is so much better than others. Good space, clean changing rooms and most of all friendly and encouraging trainers.
