PureGym Colchester Retail Park

Signing up is very frustrating. I’ve been trying to join this gym for 3 days. After entering all my details on their website, the final bits not going through.
Took time out of my schedule and went to the gym hoping the staff could help. But was disappointed. Even sent them an email. Still no response!

As a girl who loves her food I do try to use the gym on a regular basis.

I've been a member of Pure gym for approx 6 years now, covering 2 different locations with visits to a third location.

They have a wide range of machines from treadmills through to bikes as well as machines that you can work on your abs to thighs & anything else in between.

You have quite the choice!

There is a huge variety of other exercise equipment that you can use from weights, bands, balls & lots more besides.

Then there are the Classes that are held by experienced staff on site. Spin class & work outs are my favourites.

They do have on site personal trainers that you can pay to help you show you ways to get fit with a work out plan that suits your needs, lose weight & to use the various machines to help you achieve your goals.

I have personally used a couple of personal trainers which truly did help me in the beginning as I had no clue where to start.

The gyms in all 3 locations all had the same machines etc & all 3 were overall clean.

The staff are mostly friendly & approachable.

The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is the toilet & shower areas. Especially the showers as they could be at times disgustingly filthy. From stray hairs, shower gel/shampoo waste down the sides of the shower, left behind items like razors, empty products & detritus left on the floor are very off putting.

So I no longer use the facilities unless I really have too.

Otherwise all 3 gyms are kept clean & they do have sterilisation stations so you can wipe down & clean the machines & equipment you use.

One thing I will say is that the membership price is extremely good indeed, there are no added fees or 3/6 month's notice if you want to leave the gym for good.

They do have free sign up offers from tine to time as well as reductions for students.

Overall my experiences at PureGym have been extremely positive indeed & I would highly recommend them.

Enjoy!

Love as always xXx ❤️

Good location, great equipment and atmosphere.

Been a member for nearly a year now, clean happy gym with outstanding staff members and an overall great atmostphere. Hopefully we could see some more abdominal machines but apart from that one of the best gyms in colchester. :)

Pretty small gym but has all the kit you would need for any session. Quite busy even during off peak times so you probably won't get the kit you want. Can't comment on classes or PT, Clean and tidy overall and good price per month

First visit as just moved to Colchester and loved the Circuit class.. Good trainer who motivated and corected and help. Everyone seems very friendly so looking forward to using it daily. Fab monthly charge and no tie in!

I left a review on trust pilot a few weeks ago about the how unclean I felt the gym had become along with the lack of classes. Happy to say it's all improved. Thank you

Good little gym. Not too full even after lockdown eased. Never have to wait for a machine. Clean with decent amount of equipment.
