PureGym Southport

Fantastic experience: Love going, great atmosphere good equipment, very happy

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, forgot my water bottle and they offered me a freebie - 10/10

Fantastic experience: Good gym, good equipment. Staff are friendly and helpful. 24hrs is great so I can fit my workouts around my changing work shifts.

Negative experience: Great gym in general however there's multiple roof leaks that are not being attended to so it will be full of damp and mould very soon.

Positive experience: Wow! What a gym!! Great layout, lovely friendly staff. Super clean. Would have got 5* but last 2 times I’ve been I’ve booked a 45min class on the PG app and both times they’ve finished at 26 and 28minutes. When I’ve asked why it’s finished early they’ve said that’s how long the class is, yet clearly shows 45mins on the app. Great gym though! Love the little touches in the ladies changing room with the sanitary products.

Fantastic experience: Nice, well equipped 24 hour gym. Plenty going on with classes, personal training, and plenty of modern equipment. Simply a great gym. But the key is 24/7 availability.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Pure Gym since January and was nervous to begin with as I had been away from exercise for a few weeks and was moving from a different gym, having said that I’ve been made to feel really comfortable here and not intimidated like previous premises. Shout out to Harvey who keeps the gym so pristine he does an excellent job at maintaining the cleanliness. The staff are really friendly and will always say hello and show encouragement. John the Manager works exceptionally hard to keep the flow of the gym going. He is always super supportive and always says Hello on arrival. I appreciate the brief chats as John does show a genuine interest in people’s journeys and shows excellent customer service. Top Bloke! And lastly if he doesn’t get a mention he will cry Fraser the star PT…I’ve been working with Fraser since 2022 and I’ve made outstanding progress and I’m so relieved that I’ve gotten to where I have today. Fraser’s knowledge of training is top notch and has made me absolutely love the gym. If you’re ever looking for a PT go to him, he is amazing at his job. My only criticism is…. He can’t name the Spice Girls.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, moved from another Southport gym to here. Started to go with a mate and then looked into working with a PT and reached out to Fraser. He has been amazing, I've had some terrible experiences in a gym in the past so for me to even set foot into one is a challenge most days but he has been helping me not only work towards my goals to where I want to be fitness wise but my own confidence in the gym, he's very knowledgeable, friendly and honestly the best PT I've had to date. I'd highly recommend him if you are considering working with a PT.

Fantastic experience: I love pure gym, only started my fitness journey in December. The choice of different classes and times are great. The fact the gym itself is available 24/7 is great as this fits around different work schedules. I'm always recommending Pure Southport to my people. The PTs are all approachable which has been great when needing to ask for any help or advice. In particular I've found Fraser to be so helpful with helping me along my fitness journey, and his 6:30am Monday morning class is great way to start the week.

Fantastic experience: I joined in February following a recent diagnosis of cancer. Medication had made me feel weak and I knew I had to build that strength back up again. Fraser Gailey has been instrumental in me regaining that strength and confidence. He is extremely knowledgeable and I value his experience. I love going to the gym now, it has made a huge difference to my life.

Fantastic experience: Fraser has been a brilliant coach, transformational over the last 6 months - and is a really good guy which helps a lot!

Fantastic experience: Great place and super friendly. Fraser is the best PT who is very knowledgeable and always willing to help whatever the question or problem. A few punters sit on machines taking selfies and posing or playing on their phones would like to see that limited or stopped, but it is the same in most commercial gyms. All in all top place to train and if you do, seek out the ‘Legend’ that is Fraser for great support and advice, plus he owns the biggest PT guns

Fantastic experience: Fits around your life

Fantastic experience: First impressions are good. The gym floor is spacious and well planned out. The equipment is good quality and easy to use. Atmosphere seems friendly and comfortable.

Positive experience: Decent equipment, however needs more leg machines, calf etc. Cannot use the drinks machine despite inputting my code in. I'm a late night trainer but there's been a couple of occasions when I'm unable to gain access to the gym because the outer doors appear to be broken

Fantastic experience: Great gym best in Southport in terms of equipment for the price, multiple Deadlift platforms, couple squat racks decent amount of cables and free weights go up to decent weight. I go very early in the morning 3am and it's always empty love it (gets a bit spooky tho)

Fantastic experience: Started going here start of the year. I go 4-5 night a week always a friendly atmosphere. The staff during the day are great if advice needed.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, very clean, and the staff are great

Fantastic experience: My fist full-on visit to a proper Gym.... Great venue. Great assistance and great atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Clean and tidy, great layout and use of the space, has pretty much everything needs. The young women with the blonde curly hair was most helpful lubricating a slightly squeaky piece of equipment.

Fantastic experience: the manager James top bloke, friendly, professional and the gym itself very well presented and layed out

Fantastic experience: Brand new facility. Good equipment. Recommend.

Fantastic experience: Goood but small and busy sometimes.

Fantastic experience: Recently opened and I moved here from another gym. Enjoying this and the best gym in the area. Good equipment and friendly staff. Get's busy at peak times but I have always been able to get all the equipment I need for my workouts!

Positive experience: Clean modern gym - newly opened. Lots of machines and equipment - not been too busy whenever I have been. You can see how busy it is before you go via the app. Changing rooms and showers can be a bit cold at times!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant as ever

Fantastic experience: Great gym polite staff and clean environment highly recommended will forever b my go to gym

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, great choice of equipment and facilities. Plus the staff are really friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great. Clean. Low volume music. Nonthreatening atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Good gym ☝️

Positive experience: Gym is alright, clean, have all basic equipmentyou need, however not 24/7 365 as advertised. visited gym today 28/12/2023 at 9pm which was closed. No notification of it being closed. no note on the door just door locked, music still playing inside and lights on. Advertised that gym is 24/7 365 which is not as it was closed several times over last month with no communication. Also gym app is lying, shows "live" amount of people in gym, however numbers are always inflated by at least 15 people.

Negative experience: Not open Xmas day.. whole point why I joined was to go when I couldn’t go to other gyms, nothing about it on their social media either

Fantastic experience: Great gym! While I don't pay and can't review the extras like PT's or the group sessions that go on in the studio, the gym is pretty reasonably sized. While I thought at first 'this gym is smaller than I thought', it actually isn't. As you go in there more often, and explore the downstairs area you come to find that there is plenty of space to workout and plenty of workout machines and weights. With helpful guides on the equipment with how to use them and types of exercises you can perform on them. I also find that because it is in a retail park outside of the town centre, that it is pretty quiet most of the day during work hours and at night (not so sure about new year's or public holidays). Finally, their app is so much better than Everlasts. As well as housing all of their gym information and your codes to enter the gym. They also house general stuff that circles around the gym-goer, such as a workout plan (THAT YOU DO NOT PAY EXTRA FOR). it will ask you questions like how often and how skilled you are, and then it will create a plan with warmups, exercises then cooling down. They have timers set up for each of them with a short video of how to perform the exercise. With them being made for you weeks in advance so you can nosey what the app will what exercises it will want you to perform in a couple of weeks. This helps people who most of time feel overwhelmed and want a structure but aren't sure how to put one in themselves.

Fantastic experience: Really good gym. One thing I would say though is the bar bells need to be put in a different location as there is no room to use them unless you've got a bench :/

Fantastic experience: Down the road, 24hr and right equipment for what I need

Negative experience: Just went down to Pure Gym to have a look round and join. after waiting a while outside the doors Was meet outside by a rude member of staff telling me to come bk tomorrow not a good first impression for a gym that's just opened today ... Went back the next day yet to find the same staff member saying there still no staff in today .. all i wanted to do was to have a look round but it looks like they expect you to pay first online ... not the warmest of welcomes don't think i will be joining

Negative experience: Updated October 2024 Would not recommend. I've been a member since opening day. On day one, the recumbent bike seat adjustment was broken. It would not stay in position one one of the settings.. the one which I use. As of today, 11 months later, it is still broken. Cleanliness: The showers are filthy. They were white when they first opened. They are now a dark grey around the areas people stand. I stopped using these several months ago as it was clear they aren't being cleaned to a decent standard. The water was also not a decent temperature and impossible to increase it. For some reason, the cleaner spends several hours mopping the carpet on the gym floor.. never have I seen such a practice. If he could spend that time on the showers... That would be Great. Toilet only seems to be cleaned once or twice a week. Building/equipment: The roof has been leaking for some time, resulting in some machines being out of use. The toilet door in the men's changing room has no lock and was missing for at least 2 months. The upper platform vibrates excessively when even one person is on a treadmill. As the only bikes are up here, it's a rather unpleasant experience that cannot be avoided. It makes me feel very weird and can be overwhelming. The accessible changing room shower floods out onto the hallway. It is also upstairs, so if the lift is out of action it cannot be used by the people who need it. The drink refill machine never works correctly, and when it does, the flavor is very weak even on the highest setting. Staff: In my experience they are not very approachable and almost all have headphones on, sitting on laptops or phones. I've attempted to speak a few times however they are zoned in on their own conversation or device. Conclusion: The only reason I stayed here for so long is because of the introduction price of 12.99 a month. It is not worth the full price of £22 a month.

Negative experience: Paid almost 2 months ago but still the gyn is still not opened.

Positive experience: Not opening soon.
