PureGym Ashton Under Lyne - Upgrade Complete!

Positive experience: Just a regular gym

Negative experience: No only woman area, no hot water for showers. Parking free for only 45mins then need to pay. Won't be attending again

Positive experience: PureGym Ashton is okay, but it has some downsides. The lack of variety in machines can make workouts repetitive, and the absence of hot water on weekends is quite inconvenient. It’s decent for basic fitness needs, but there’s room for improvement.

Fantastic experience: Gym isn't fancy but has everything you need, decent sized free weights area with lots of benches and good selection of machines. Getting in the tiny starship enterprise airlocks is a learning curve, but you know the place is secure. It gets busy in the evenings but not excessively. Not had to wait long to use anything. Everything seems to be in good condition. Not always staffed but full of cameras and PureGym say they will challenge any harassment. Big plus for women - the changing room is single SEX not single GENDER, or unisex, no nonsense, so you feel safe stripping off in a female only area. Clean, good lighting and toilets well located. Showers nice and hot. Can't complain for the price.

Positive experience: Cheap off peak membership. Free parking. Not overly busy, so you can usually use the equipment that you want, without waiting. Although some people will spend 30-40 mins using the only dual cable machine and then spend most of that time on their phones, and waiting 5 mins and upwards between reps but other than that, usually a good experience. Not too many meat heads, gym bros and a good mix of beginners and experienced members, of all ages, both male and female. They also offer an introduction induction, which isn't particularly thorough but eases you in. There are instructions on machines but YouTube is your best friend for learning the correct form and use.

Negative experience: I suggest no one use this gym im just burned because the shower they put on high temperature to save money And they should not let kids come inside Or best thing i should left this kindergarten

Fantastic experience: Suits every level, no age or fitness barriers, clean, staff are professional and informative, a first class experience

Fantastic experience: Love the Wednesday early morning sweat and Thursday early morning metcon

Positive experience: Nice clean gym. But gets really busy.

Positive experience: It is an unsupervised place and the men's changing room is always very dirty and smells, the sinks are always without water and the floor is all water, few dumbbells and few equipment, I don't think it is a suitable place. But I only like the 24 hours

Negative experience: This place could be so much better. On a positive note, the staff are welcoming and friendly, but on the negative side, the downstairs training area is untidy. After the recent refurb of the main gym, it would be good if the staff encouraged members to return free weights to their stands and correct storage area. The staff don't appear too bothered about the abandoned weights dotted all around the gym. The dumbell rack rarely has weights in the correct location ! Changing rooms have dozens of broken and vandalised lockers, with cleaning appearing to be kept to a minimum. This could be a much better place with care incorporated into the place.

Fantastic experience: Good crowd, clean gym, happy with the machine and weight choices so far. Really good value for money.

Negative experience: Bad

Negative experience: Was a good gym until someone in the staff decided to keep the music blasting at 100% at all times with no way to turn it down. They just don't care about inflicting hearing loss and headaches on their members. It's also extremely busy at all times other than 2-4 AM. (Busy at 5 AM onwards)

Fantastic experience: Me and my wife’s first Time at this gym together and we loved it

Fantastic experience: Love Ald stores

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly had a good time at the gym. It was my first and I loved it.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym

Positive experience: Very busy around 4-6pm

Fantastic experience: Amazing

Fantastic experience: Great classes with Ellen

Fantastic experience: Enjoy the classes, helped me loads. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Great intense work needed for me especially I'm over 40 and I'm trying to get back into shape

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Amazing classes and Amazing trainers

Negative experience: Cheap and cheerful. Gets really busy around peak times, but you get what you pay for (bare in mind iTrain in dukinfield and thegym in Oldham are cheaper than here). For me, I ended up cancelling my membership because the gym is just too hot. It's impossible to do anything without getting sweaty. It's made worse by there being very little cleaning equipment so the chances of sitting on a machine that has the outline of someone's buttock is high

Fantastic experience: Great newly refurbished gym, amazing classes

Fantastic experience: Attended pur gym 10 years ago & liked it then started going again now and its even better since referb

Fantastic experience: Ciarans classes are brilliant. Loved circuits. Music is great

Fantastic experience: Nice

Positive experience: A top-notch gym facility with many facilities. It’s accessible and affordable all the time.

Fantastic experience: Every Pure Gym is the best because of the exercise machines and the people in there who affect

Fantastic experience: Having not set foot in a gym for 20 years I was really happy with the place. Everything needed to get a good workout in, chilled atmosphere, was very happy with it. Booked a few classes for next week and making my second visit tomorrow

Fantastic experience: Great classes and staff are amazing

Fantastic experience: Fab first combat class. Ellen loved it

Positive experience: Pure in Ashton is a fantastic gym with a variety of fitness classes for all levels and large car park. Instructors are on the whole fantastic, especially Carlos and Craig who run consistently brilliant classes and are great trainers and PTs.

Fantastic experience: I always saw the gym as a fear but soon as I stepped foot inside the staff are so friendly and I slowly started to gain my confidence. Elen the New manager assistant is amazing always up for a chat and to help people out plus her spin classes are so fun and up beat ! I would definitely recommend this gym . If you’re nervous to start classes definitely start with the spin class it will get you out your shell !

Fantastic experience: Good spacing of equipments and same plenty for the attendees. Staffs very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Its great to see equipments have been moved around, it was great idea and excellent team in Ashton under lyne.

Fantastic experience: Lovely class with Elen. Thank you. See you soon!

Fantastic experience: Amazing LBT this morning with Beth! Thank you for brightening my morning

Fantastic experience: Beth gives the BEST gym classes. Always pushes you and is really enthusiastic which makes you work even harder. Really enjoyed the legs, bums and tums and stretch class

Fantastic experience: Staff here are very approachable. I have attended classes with Beth, Floyd and Craig which gives me a nice balance throughout the week.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy the stretch class with Bethany, really relaxing and great for the end of your workout.

Fantastic experience: bethany’s class had a wonderful atmosphere and was conducted really well

Fantastic experience: Bethany is a great instructor!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous

Fantastic experience: Good gym and staff

Fantastic experience: Best gym over. 10/10 would recommend

Positive experience: Great gym good equipment but it could be more visually pleasing me and a couple others suggest adding some nice LED coloured lighting

Positive experience: Cheap good monthly price, ground floor can be full of people clearly on steroids

Positive experience: It's very clean and kept tidy always with super hardworking staff. Only thing holding it back is the cluster feeling. A lot of treadmill and bikes just lying around not being used whilst most users are interested in the weights and lifting.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! PureGym has all the equipment you could possibly think of, and is open 24 hours which is great for everyone trying to fit the gym into their busy schedules! I used to go during the late hours of the night or early in the morning as there would barely be anyone there and you would have the freedom to go on pretty much whatever you wanted. Think the women’s changing rooms shut about 4am, not sure specifically, but not really an issue as you can carry your bag around. During the day staff are friendly and supportive also. Easy to get into the gym, you just type in your code and go through revolving doors so there is maximum security here which is amazing. They have a machine which tells you your fat and muscle percentage and you can weigh yourself. Even have a sports water machine where you can decide on your flavour and how strong you want the flavour to be. Everything you could ever need at a gym and more, couldn’t fault it! They have lots of classes throughout the week but haven’t tried so can’t comment. Amazing gym!

Positive experience: Got the essentials but is nothing compared to urban exchange puregym. Needs the new benches and free weights. Could do with some additional machines for more variety

Fantastic experience: Really good branch of Pure Gym. Lots of equipment available and always clean.

Positive experience: Mixed feelings about this gym. The Yanga water doesn't give full measurements and the machines all feel cramped around each other, on the plus side, parking is free, there's plenty of lockers, and HOT SHOWERS.... The only PureGym within a 20 mile radius to have hot showers

Negative experience: Well i joined. First class on 28th march. I put my car reg in when i arrived but have just recieved a parking ticket.... hope this can get sorted today. As ive parked there twice there since.

Fantastic experience: Hard working lovely lady definitely be using her again.

Fantastic experience: Really good 24/hour service we’ll cleaned and maintained and very good to make sure the machines are in working order as much as they get used

Negative experience: The Gym is not bad the problem is car park I have membership it is my 4th month in four months I got 2 tickets from Euro Car park, I appealed and they rejected,so I paid more for the ticket then the membership.they need to sort out the car park problem for their members

Negative experience: i registered 2 days ago, still can’t go in online, i use my email address and pin number still saying if your detail in our system we will text you in 10 minutes, it’s about 2 days

Negative experience: Hundred of people in the gym and one equipment for each exercise, which makes you wait a long time to be able to use it.

Fantastic experience: It's all good

Positive experience: Mo

Positive experience: Brilliant gym! Great classes! Just needs some air con on as gets extremely hot

Positive experience: Upper Body Day. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Great gym with all the latest equipment. Spacious, lots of classes and the price is affordable.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, lots of exercise machine, friendly staff, not very crowded , highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Good size gym

Fantastic experience: Good gym, with loads of equipments.

Fantastic experience: Overall a nice place with a good range of equipment and a very friendly atmosphere, would absolutely recommend.

Positive experience: Went in at 9am, very few people at the time. Plenty of equipment, well maintained. Nice clean gym. I only wish it was easier to find the weights, they were all over the place. Free parking for members for first 4 hours.

Positive experience: Spacious and not too crowded. Enough equipment to work out, as well as floor space to warm down after. Just need to fix the AC in the downstairs studio (imagine the winter days). But other than that, pretty decent PureGym

Negative experience: It has 2 floors and has a nice range of machines, but my god its packed, I mean even at 5-7am there's a good chance the machine you need is not available.

Negative experience: Weights not put back and left strewn everywhere. Music as per usual is too loud- can’t hear my own music on full volume over the terrible music they play.

Negative experience: After reading the reviews I was going join I don't think I will I'm 58 I don't need all that stress

Negative experience: worst staff in any gym ive been to and iv been going to gyms for 15 years and really experienced all the staff be friendly nice at most of other gyms but the staff at pure gym is the worst wouldnt recommend anyone

Negative experience: Barely any machines available during times 10am-8pm on Mon-Fri, it’s ridiculous. There’s no personal space at all and everything seems crowded. Vending machines are ridiculously overpriced, only good thing I can say is for £18 it’s a decent enough membership.

Fantastic experience: Local Gym, Clean, Cool, Brill.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great equipment. Staff are always friendly and lots of space especially if you go off peak

Fantastic experience: Safe place and full equipment ☺️

Fantastic experience: Every thing is neat and tidy ,full of equipment, more space friendly people's feels really safe its been 2 days and i already loved the place.

Fantastic experience: It's very good only i wasn't there i was in Jollys next door. Now that's better training taking your dog for a walk ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: Really well equipped gym and it's very clean which is important to me. The staff are friendly, even if you don't know them they always give you a nod. Would recommend to anyone of any level, even beginners like me.

Positive experience: Very good staff but they don't have many diversities of machines

Positive experience: Standard pure gym, good to be able to come whenever I want, machines are well maintained and regularly cleaned. I do haaaaate the 5 second shower button though and miss having a pool and steam room.

Fantastic experience: Great staff nice environment Tom is a welcoming gym manager

Negative experience: This building is really small for a pure gym, always packed and you have to wait for equipment and machines due to only having one for different muscle groups. Overkill on the amount of cardio bikes too that’s needs to be replaced for more machines. They need multiple bench and deadlift places zones instead of just one which gets packed. Machines are set all over the place and they need to be set into an actual order to use the space efficiently. Overall not worth coming to this particular building maybe it’s better in other ones but this one needs expanding asap

Fantastic experience: Nipped in for a quick look round during my night shift and it looks decent, nice and clean and plenty of kit with not a single piece "Out Of Order"

Fantastic experience: Spinning class with Elena is always the best! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place ,, great staff always helpful ....... get down there....

Positive experience: It's okay, can do with a lot more equipment/bars and barbell weights however

Negative experience: Very small, limited equipment and often have to wait to use it... loads of cardio machines but essential machines like hamstring curl and shoulder press nowhere to be seen, joined and left after 2 months as it didnt meet what I need in a gym, over-priced too

Positive experience: Pretty good. Classes are very limited,especially cycle classes. Lots of add ons that cost a small amount and quickly add up. Started on £15 a month and left them once I got to £25

Fantastic experience: Awesome place. Great staff. Just an overall great atmosphere there.

Positive experience: Ok sometimes can't get on machines depends when u go,also got sanatized hand stations and cleaning stations to wipe down equipments, but few lazy people won't clean after going on 1 machine after another sweating ,only takes 10 sec ,same culprits day in day out

Fantastic experience: Plenty of equipment. Quiet late evening. Clean

Positive experience: Quiet Clean Gym

Fantastic experience: I went at 1745 and there were plenty of available equipment. All seems to be as safe as can be

Fantastic experience: Great space. Free parking (remember to enter your reg inside the gym so you don't get fined) Good classes

Positive experience: Every clean plenty of machines. To work on staff are friendly and the web site easy to use
