PureGym Folkestone

For the price this is a good gym. Not ideally located for me relying on the bus times, but I'm sure it's ideal for others. One of the lat pulldown machines has been out of action now for several weeks, but not the first gym I've been to where they have to wait patiently for the leasing company to fix it. As others have said it is a busy gym, if they could squeeze in another set of cables it would be a help. But I enjoy the gym.

It's a good gym.

Equipment seems to be well maintained and clean.

On first time visit it wasn't clear where things like the changing rooms are. There's not really any sign posts. Hence the 4 stars.

Nice spacious gym with a lot of different machines and weights to use toilets are okay and changing rooms are quite spacious

The PureGym equipment is good, but now showing its age after a number of years use. Its pretty common to have multiple items out of order. The place is small and too busy to get on all the equipment, this is pretty much the case from 4.30am to 10pm. There is pretty much one of each weight machine. The staff are not impolite but not engaging either so it can be tricky getting a resolution to any issue. The loos are stinky!! But you do see a cleaner in the early hours cleaning and again in the evening. I occasionally use the showers, the shower room doesn't have loos as they are communal and in the mezzanine area. There is plenty of parking which is great as its free. overall, its OK if you are after cardio work outs and are not too worried about changing or showering. I wouldn't recommend if you are looking to use weights, the gym is over subscribed and therefore frustrating you hang around waiting for your turn.

I love this place, never felt at ease in a gym but puregym in Folkestone is on another level. Everyone is friendly and the staff are top notch, def a gym for the nervous.

Been going for a few months, if you go early morning or within school hours it’s great but soon as it’s hits 16:30 all you get are young kids, I know the limit is 16 however you get a load of 11 to 14 years year old in school uniforms laughing at people and not using the machines properly. I think the staff can do better job enforcing this.

It's a pure gym so you get very good value for money and 24 hours opening times but the equipment isn't great for major gym rats and the weights are never put away properly. I have been a member at Dynamix and Bannatynes and now here. I have chosen to go to this gym now because of the price and opening times. It's annoying that people don't put back the weights and there isn't the high quality gym equipment that Dynamixs has to offer. Another major USP that pure has to offer was the cancel whenever option.
In summery if your a 100% gym rat go to Dynamix if you like swimming go to Bannatynes. Otherwise come here with the knowledge that weights aren't put back and it can be a little untidy but other than that it's a good gym.

It is a good basic gym which is what you need. I'm not a fan of the communal toilets that out in the gym. The place could also do with a little air flow or at least a few air freshener especially round the weights section and in the stairwell. Other than that it's a gym.
