Fantastic experience: I have been a member at PureGym Saffron Walden since they opened and still love it. Great vibes and fantastic staff. The classes are really good, particularly the MetCon class with Sean, It’s always varied and has a great atmosphere.

Dan Kirby 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great PureGym Local, similar to other PGL's in the area. Had the majority of equipment required.

Stephen Levy 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Although it's a very small gym with not the greatest equipment, the ambience is very nice. The staff are a bit stand offish but great vibes

Tyler Cannan 1 year ago

Positive experience: I thought pure gyms would be the same moat locations, but this is a particularly bad one. Very small, always something broken, way too busy at peak times. Been to other way better pure gyms.

Andy Stamataris 2 years ago

Rebecca Hurst 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have PT with Sean, he is brilliant I feel he really listened to what I wanted from my training and made a plan to help me in them areas! I feel more confident in the gym and stranger than ever! 100% recommend

Chloe Webb 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started early morning metcon classes at SW PureGym with Sean, great vibes and atmosphere!

Shelagh Eggo 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to the gym for a few months now and take some of the classes which are great. Pure Gym. SW is a friendly place. However I didn’t have a lot of confidence to use the equipment in the gym and started seeing a PT, Sean, who has been fantastic. He is so knowledgeable and patient and I would recommend anyone thinking of using a PT to contact Sean.

Ellen Dear 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have been using SW PureGym & training with Sean for over a year now. Can usually use what equipment I need. Sean is a great PT, helping me build my strength and fitness, really enjoy our sessions

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area.

James Elliott 2 years ago

Negative experience: Been training here for approximately 3 years but I’m soon going to leave. During covid times things were great, staff would say hello and PT’s would chat to you. The manager would be stood by the front door working saying Hi to everyone. Now they huddle by the vending machine ignoring their customers. Since then the what seems to be bi monthly change in staff don’t acknowledge customers, and the swarm of teenagers that flock to the gym at around 2pm every day go completely unchecked when they’re messing around, training in jeans, not putting weights back or even worse training incorrectly and risking injury - which should be corrected by staff - in my opinion they have a duty of care to people. Showers have been ice cold for months with signs up saying that the problem is soon to be fixed, I think now (Feb 2023) it’s back to a slightly warm. Pictures attached are how things are most days, cleanliness was never an issue here but it appears to have gone completely down hill. I’ve stayed because of 24/7 opening and location but I’ll soon be looking to change gyms.

James Kemsley 2 years ago

Negative experience: Been a member since it opened. Never really had an issue till the last 6 months. Recently too many people filming themselves which is painfully irritating. Teenagers in the way doing things wrong, staff not acknowledging members just staring at them. Constant smell of pickled onions. Nah I’m ok thanks.

Isabelle Egerton 2 years ago

Negative experience: Gym shower ICE cold even after 20mins. I joined this gym on the 3rd Nov… there was a sign up then saying there was an issue with the shower then - a month and a half later it is still far from fixed. There’s also no water in the hot tap. I would recommend this gym if you don’t plan to shower here or expect hot water when washing your hands!

Hi Isabelle. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review, we are sorry to see this is 1 star. We always appreciate and take on board member feedback. We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused. It would really help us if you could get in touch directly with the Gym Manager to provide more information (such as date and time etc.) so this can be investigated. Thanks, PureGym.

Clay 3 years ago

Positive experience: I go at 5am to beat the crowd and that usually works, though it is starting to get busy in the morning. The biggest issue is that I need to have a quick shower before going to work. The showers have had a sign up for at least a month saying that hot water will take “a minute” and that the plumbers are looking into it. That “minute” is a lot closer to 10 mins. The sign has been up for at least a month, and the overnight temperatures being cold now means that a shower is ice cold in the morning. The showers are fixed at this point and I’m adding a star. It still takes quite a while for warm water to get through.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and welcoming environment to get fit in. The classes push you but are enjoyable and really lead to results. The instructors are professional, knowledgeable and friendly and great in the classes. The equipment is also very clean and tidy. I would strongly recommend this gym. The only negative is the cancelled Friday morning classes which prevents the build up of people attending.

Oli 5 years ago

Negative experience: Lack of equipment in comparison to other PureGym sites. Staff just seem to sit around one table chatting. Changing rooms made out of cheap wood.

Hi Oli, thanks for taking the time to leave this rating, but we’re sorry to see it's only 2 stars. We always aim to provide a broad spread of kit to cater to a range of fitness needs and meet demand as it changes through the day, getting the balance right between weights and cardio, but if you have any other/specific suggestions please approach the Gym Manager or leave a note in the feedback box, which is regularly reviewed. There are always personal trainers in the gym between 6am and 10pm, but especially at peak times they are often occupied with classes or clients. However, if one is available they will always be happy to help. If they're not immediately visible, you can try knocking on the office door or pressing the button to call for assistance. In the meantime, we hope you're able to make the most of the gym and reach your personal fitness goals. Thanks, PureGym

Positive experience: They could easily add another floor or two to this gym. There's a fairly small selection of machines to use, but they've got plenty of room for other exercises. Membership price is about average, but includes all classes
