PureGym London Monument

One of the best puregyms in London, huge array of resistance machines, racks, benches and weights upto 50kg. Props to the team!

One of the better puregym sites, a good selection of resistance machines, nice and clean, brilliant atmosphere to enjoy a good workout.

Great location for any kind of workout, from crossfit to weightlifting to even hitting some cardio.

Cons: terribly hot, stuffy and poorly ventilated male changing rooms. There is only ONE air/fan unit in the male changing rooms and majority if the time it feels as if it is pumping hot air into the room. That coupled with the extremely hot steamy water from the showers, poor/weak shower extractor fans makes for an unbearable changing room. Quite often you find yourself just as sweaty after a shower as you were during your workout.

Further evidence in the poor planning of this gym can also be seen by the black/dark stains on the ceiling near the vent, something I would not expect from a gym that is quite new.

I switched to this gym because the London Wall branch was also too hot due to faulty air conditioning units (there is a pattern here, these basement puregym are not equipped with proper air units). I have had to go back to the London Wall gym, not because the fixed their air conditioning issue, but because they were wise enough to put out extra fans along the gym floor and in the changing rooms.

My advice/request from PureGym is that they lower the water temperature to prevent the Monument and London Wall changing rooms steaming up and fix the weak air vents/units.

Pros: spacious gym floor, gym floor and equipment is very clean, multiple squat racks, power lifting stations, benches and dumbbells, great location, decent music, 24hr city gym.

Great gym. All the equipment is new and of good quality. E erything is kept clea and irs never too busy.

Great gym, huge range of weights machines and activities and right within the station so easy to get to. Doesn't have different floors but has plenty so there's rarely a queue even when it's busy. Highly recommend. Good staff too

Very Compact
Everything you need
Clean and tidy

Really like this gym but something has to be done about people using the lockers when they are not actually there. It was very difficult to find an actual empty locker this morning and there was only 10 people in the gym at the time!
