PureGym Wakefield

Fantastic experience: Great gym, very spacious, clean and tidy, all the latest pieces of equipment

Positive experience: The personal trainers at Pure gym make this place. All of them are friendly approachable and helpful. Excellent value for money for a gym. Far too much cardio equipment not relevant to demands within the gym. Free weight area could be extended to meet demands. Good to see independent cleaning individuals at certain times. Overall a good standard budget gym which is adequate.

Fantastic experience: Perfect gym

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out! Fab staff

Negative experience: Gym is a sweat box and unless it’s the peak of winter it is unbearably hot in there. Some of the seats on the pec fly machine have been broken for more than 2 years. Most recently they’ve decided to turn the escalators off going up to the gym but not on the way down. Really irritating. Also full of groups of 16 year old kids who spend their whole sessions talking and using it as a social club

Positive experience: Good facilities, friendly staff, the atmosphere is good. It is used by all kinds of people and not just full of angry looking men trying to show off. I just wish the other patrons would stop trying to rip the locker doors off and would use the toilets better.

Positive experience: Fantastic gym, great staff. Only problem is the lockers.

Negative experience: What a waste of space no gin at all

Fantastic experience: Great space, good variety of machines/free weights. Impressed and would recommend.

Negative experience: 5:33 group of immature gym goers messing around with the yoga balls. Genuinely unacceptable behaviour. Safety hazard for all the other good gym goers.

Negative experience: 5 30pm saturday group of 3 boys kicking bouncing balls around the gym nearly hitting a middle aged woman

Negative experience: I went to Puregym on 29/5 Wed at 11pm with a friend, and locked my bag in the locker in the changing room as usual. However, when I went to get my drink, I found out my lock was broken. I checked and realised the cash in my wallet was gone but other stuff such as credit card & debit card were still here. I reported this to Puregym and got their reply. From their email reply, as well as my conversation with staff, this is not a single incident. However, this is not addressed seriously and no action is mentioned to be taken. I am suggested to report to the police even they won’t be able to do much as described by the Puregym staff, and I did. The incident got more serious because I found out my debit card info got stolen and used on 30/5 Thu. Honestly the gym itself is not bad, and the staff is friendly and nice. However, this incident is critical and worth serious handling by Puregym. I would like to bring users’ attention for safety precautions.

Negative experience: the lock of locker was broken and all the money was stolen after gym

Positive experience: Fantastic gym. Friendly PT's and good availability of equipment even at peak times. Ruined by inadequate air conditioning. Impossible to do any serious high intensity exercise. Restricted to resistance programmes and steady walking / jogging on the treadmills. Message to Management - air temp needs to be a consistent 16 degrees around the treadmills and aerobic machines with the Air Conditioning functioning and on 24/7.

Fantastic experience: Clean, no broken machines, not too busy

Positive experience: PureGym is a place with a wide selection of heavy things. If you want to pick up heavy things and put them back down then PureGym is a good place to go. If you want to keep the heavy things then you must go to a different place. You are not allowed to leave with the heavy things. Some people like to run and cycle but don't want to be distracted by interesting scenery or sunshine, so there are lots of machines so you can do these things in 1 place. There are also steps you can climb and never get higher and places to row without a boat. I'm told there are classes but they don't usually involve the heavy things I go to pick up. There are also people who you can ask for help, so you know how to pick up the heavy things. One advantage of this heavy thing place which sets it apart from many others is that you can pick up the heavy things 24 hours a day.

Fantastic experience: Very good

Positive experience: Great spin classes with Jess and Sophie! Gym is super busy straight after work, better in mornings but big range of equipment

Negative experience: For the size of the gym there is simply not enough machines, be prepared to wait to use some. Hack squat machine is unusable as padding is non existent. Entrance system is annoying. If you are a beginner, casual gym goer or someone who wants to lose weight using cardio machines this gym would be suitable. For those of you who are experienced and serious lifters, I would not recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Grateful friendly staff. Everyone just gets on with it, no one thinks they are bigger or better. I would be staying here but not from area

Positive experience: Good equipment and overall gym layout, staff from who I've met have been kind and approachable, but knocked a star down as lockers in mens changing room are either broken or just about manageable.

Negative experience: This is the worst puregym I've ever been to. The showers are always dirty as are the changing rooms. Full of people who never seem to work for a living who sit and hog machines whilst on their phones constantly.

Fantastic experience: Great

Negative experience: Najgorsza siłownia na jakiej trenowałem cały czas coś nie działa i naprawę sprzętu długo się czeka. Trenerzy personalni są nie odpowiednio wytrenowani już nie mówię że niektórzy z nich są niepełnosprawni i nie umieją odpowiednio trenowac innych. Siłownia wyrzuciła mnie za to że trenowałem razem z moim kolegom który nie był doświadczony a ja tak wiec go trenowałem. Gdysz sami nie mają klientów i mieli o to żal. Porażka

Negative experience: I use this gym late night/early morning it's spacious and fairly well equipped though missing a couple of important machines. Well ventilated and cool enough in the summer. Free parkimg validation is helpful or park right out side the gym in the dead of night. On the down side the locker room is always disgusting, regardless what time you go the toilets are never even remotely acceptable and are very obviously not being cleaned regardless of who ever has signed the cleaning schedule on the wall (it definitely just gets signed and not cleaned). Any broken equipment stays that way for much too long, weeks and sometimes months at a time. 2 stars due to the unhygienic state of the bathroom areas and lack of equipment maintaining. Still worth going if you can do very late nights for a few pound a week.

Negative experience: The staff at this gym are unbelievably rude and unprofessional. The assistant manager there looks down at people. One of the "personal trainers" there kept making sly comments to me when walking past. I tried speaking to the manager and higher up but no one seems to care.If you are shy or anxious this gym is really not for you. The gym itself is alright and at a good price but the staff there ruin it. Definitely wouldn't recommend especially for women.

Fantastic experience: Everything is simple and logical. Large area and many friendly people. The main thing is that everything is clean everywhere

Negative experience: Ben Chard is an unhelpful manager very rude and has no customer service skills !!!!! Don’t go to managers here if you need any help , they will think ur a problem and attempt to not help you !!!

Positive experience: 24 hour open gym bit rushy sometimes

Positive experience: It’s a low cost 24hr gym, no reception and hardly any friendly staff. The equipment is getting dated but you can do most workouts

Negative experience: Not enough equipment and overcrowded. Improper use of space with too many cardio machines and insufficient resistance machines.

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Positive experience: Jam packed but ok as they have got loads of machines and equipment

Negative experience: They’ve got the most horrible changing room with a sticking toilet that hasn’t been cleaned for days

Negative experience: Needs improvement in several areas. Decent equipment, but the flimsy locker doors are either warped and won't close or the locking mechanism is damaged so you waste the first 5 mins of each visit searching for a functioning locker. One water fountain is inadequate for the size of this gym. Only one of two entry capsules is working and has been that way for almost a month now. This causes unnecessary congestion at peak times and the disabled entry should be in use for all members until a repair is carried out. Given the monthly membership has increased by £3 a month since Jan 2022, it would be nice to see that additional revenue invested back into the things benefit all members.

Negative experience: No matter what time it is, this gym is always full of inconvenient beings who don't know how to behave respectfully. The equipment should be used for working out and not to serve as a backrest to stay on the cell phone. I've stopped worrying about people using the only power lifting equipment at the gym for more than 20 min. This is insane! (I force myself to train weightlifting between the equipment where people are passing). Either they're staring at their phones or they're chatting more than working out. The lockers are in poor condition to be used safely and the amount of people who drop their backpacks on the gym floor is too much. Just a drinking fountain for the whole gym. The dumbbells and weights are never organized. The place smells unpleasant and the only thing I can praise is about a nice staff guy who have always been kind to me and is a nice person when I see him, because this gym is always with zero staff around. This is my last month as a member since from what I've seen here in the reviews this gym has been like this for a long time and it doesn't look like it will get better.

Fantastic experience: Spacious, clean gym. One powerlifting platform. Enough weights to do any workout. Trinity Walk car park free for two hours- validate your ticket before leaving the gym. Welcoming and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place and self service made easy using their app. As a first timer they were really helpful.

Negative experience: Horrible place to workout. Men's.chanhing room lockers are mostly wonky and showers are mouldy. Weights are everywhere. Just a mess. Apart from the pricing and 24X7, nothing else is good about this place. Most of the machines S hooks are missing or misplaced. Chewing gum stuck in the wall. Omg

Fantastic experience: Good gym run by a great set of Managers and some excellent PT's.

Negative experience: Been tonight for first time wil defo not be going back over crowded no machine free people just sat on machine on there phone machine out of order worst gym I have ever been too

Negative experience: Overcrowded... early morning or late evening... most of people just sitting on machines and checking their phone. Waste of space. Reply from pure gym "because we are popular". It's not that, you are just the cheapest gym maybe think to open second one in Wakefield

Fantastic experience: Bailey was very helpful

Fantastic experience: Great gym.

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience:

Positive experience: It’s the middle of summer and the air con isn’t on!! It’s stifling in there, you workout for 5 minutes, you have to stop, it’s madness, this gym generates far more than enough money to afford air con, The gym standards have also dropped dramatically, dust everywhere, under machines just simply not moved, there a stand opposite the Olympic stand thats covered in a think layer of dust and grime, I hadn’t been to pure gym for 6 months, soon as I went back I got sick, was informed there’s a sickness bug lurking around which I can confirm, which brings me back to my main point, no wonder when you Aren’t circulating the air, it’s completely stagnant, it genuinely puts you off going to the gym because you already know how unbearable it’s going to be, after 40mins I need fresh air been asthmatic, I think it’s extremely poor standards throughout pure gym, the weights are NEVER in order, always in random places in and around the gym, from the studio, to the mats way at the other end of the gym, if you want 2 dumbbells between 1 to 10kg forget it!! Don’t even waste your time, those racks are consistently empty, I also reported a guy who spat around the gym and on the walls, literally bombing huge greeners on the walls,he also spat near the leg press and on the rubber floors, I told the manager, nothing happened, 3 days after that you posted him on your Instagram purchasing yanga water!! Seriously!! Management is pathetic I wish I was joking about the spitting but I’m really not, 6 months later and decorators have actually painted over his disgusting mess!!! As for the changing rooms, don’t use them because your stuff will be stolen, better yet pure gym will do absolutely nothing about it either, The manager isn’t approachable, very unfriendly, almost seems he doesn’t want to be there or he doesn’t like people unless they benefit his criteria… Pure gym was very clicky 5 years or so ago, and he’s brought that right back into play, basically if your face doesn’t fit don’t bother talking to him..he will simply brush you off and act uninterested, I’m just waiting for we appreciate your input and Weill take this on board……I highly doubt that,

Negative experience: Targeted by manager! Targeted by manager! I just finished three-sets of deadlifts and went to refill my water-bottle. When I returned to do a fourth set, another gym-member asked if I had finished with the weights and I said yes, so he took them. I then proceeded to the preacher station and did some curls. When I turned my back the manager started putting my weights away and I said - ''excuse me, I have not finished with these weights''. This statement angered him somewhat and his response was to say - "Well I could be cruel and tell you to put the weights you left on the floor away" - weights i'd already given to somebody else! I then had to re-clip the ez-bar as he skulked off. When I left the gym, I approached the manager and told him that the other gym member took ownership of the weights and he might want to check his CCTV before wrongly accusing me of leaving the weights lying around. He completely ignored me and walked off without apologising or saying anything. To the manger. Your attitude stinks. Perhaps consider that the revenue generated by PureGym members helps to pay your salary and your co-worker's salary!!! Due to this experience, I'm canceling my membership and going to another gym. Disclaimer. I'm a little inconsistent with putting weights away but on this instance, I was not at fault. Date of experience: 04 August 2023

Positive experience: Excellently ran, meticulously clean, great team of friendly helpful staff The large lockers in the gents are letting it down

Negative experience: Whilst my experience at this gym has overall been decent, It has no been the SECOND time that I have had things stolen out of lockers (I even had a lock pad on) The machines are often out of order and the locker room toilets are always in shambles. No security and have had things like my coat, bag and house keys stolen. Do not come here unless it’s your only option.

Fantastic experience:

Negative experience: Disgusting and zero security system the last week someone stole my money and manager said that would you like call police? Police come and arrest exactly which person!!!! When there's no any CCTV and today my friend said that someone stole my whole thing inside the closet again big shame

Fantastic experience: Very spacious and friendly and plenty of equipment

Negative experience: Fine for cardio work, but weight machines are frequently out of order, not enough bench stations, dumbbell's are usually in the wrong places and finding the right ones can take a while as weight area is usually a mess. Treat new members a lot better than existing ones with better deals etc. Overpriced imo

Fantastic experience: Good place for work-out

Negative experience: Don't use the vending machines, they never give you your items and there's never any staff in to sort it

Fantastic experience: Disable bathroom currently is out of order! This is very unfortunate as i need it desperately.

Positive experience: Standards dropping

Fantastic experience: Great

Negative experience: Did not enjoy the experience at this gym. No weights were put away and couldn’t find what I was looking for. There was nobody to ask either. Won’t be going back.

Positive experience: It’s busy most of time.

Fantastic experience: Visiting from Australia, 1 day pass easily sorted. Very spacious and clean

Negative experience: For gym its ok, but shower area is very dirty, they never clear their drainage system.being a local I have used gym for years but now almost giving up as the management is not bothered at all and never invested in gym.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym people are there to help you set your goals in what you want to achieve.

Fantastic experience: It's a Pure Gym, recently upgraded equipment and validates parking

Fantastic experience: Clean. A lot of the exercise machines have just been replaced by newer versions. 2 hours free parking in Sainsburys car park. Not over crowded.

Fantastic experience:

Negative experience: Because they respond very badly to customers,

Positive experience: Love my gym

Fantastic experience: Buenas instalaciones, muy amplías, los vestuarios están razonablemente limpios. Con la app entras y sales casi a la hora que quieras y hay muchos planes de entrenamiento para ponerte a ello auto-organizándote, en la app echo de menos alguna adaptación por edad y condición física.

Positive experience: It was nice experience, I spent more than two hours workout;)

Fantastic experience: Decent gym while I was down all one level easy access

Positive experience: Loads of gear but I had no idea - gym newbie. Air con, clean and tidy. Business model seems to be based on no, or minimal staff so no one about to advise or help. Buy a day pass before getting further in.

Fantastic experience: Nice clean gym with lots of equipment. Staff are always friendly.

Fantastic experience: Tends to get busy on an evening so I like to hit squeeze in a quick workout on my lunch break, showers and changing areas are always clean

Negative experience: Overall its ok, only the olympic rack has a mirror, the others don't which is really dangerous for lifting. Especially when the free weights get mirrors, poorly designed and should be changed. Update: After using the gym for 4 weeks now, the yanga water you pay extra for has completely run out, waste of money. Old men stand in front of you while you're trying to train using a mirror which is already 5+m away from you. After having surgery on my hip, form is incredibly important and only way to lift safe and this is impossible. The wifi is awful, might as well just use phone data. Weights left everywhere and anywhere, gym managers don't care

Positive experience: Good gym but some equipment missing

Fantastic experience: Pure Gym is an excellent place to become a member and to achieve the goals that I have set to become a more healthy person for myself and my loved ones. The classes are second to none with trainers that spend quality time with me that are patient and understanding.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, very spacious and clean. Could improve with more dumbbells

Positive experience: limited amount of equipment. it's hard to train in rush hour.

Negative experience: Awful didn’t even get in - crowded busy and was a nightmare trying to find staff.

Positive experience: Very crowded and felt like everyone was on top of each other.

Positive experience: Busy enough for an atmosphere but no so busy you can't get on the pieces of equipment needed

Fantastic experience: Great gym, I'm happy with everything here. The staff are friendly, I recommend it!

Positive experience: Way too many tredmills, needs another two deadlift platforms at least. Over all not a bad gym

Positive experience: Overcrowded,

Negative experience: Easy to get too but the equipment is very aged snd broken

Fantastic experience: Bit crowded but have got all the equipments

Positive experience: I find that it's busy it always feels busy. I find it is good value for me. I also don't like that I have got to type my pin number in as it feels like I am going into a prison.

Positive experience: hi, is there a free parking at the wakefield puregym? thanks

Fantastic experience: Great gym and always leave feeling great. The mantra of the gym is "all welcome" and this I felt throughout the gym. Don't feel bad about your skill age ability or size as all really are welcome

Fantastic experience:

Negative experience: Unless you have direct debit, the 24hr line or night staff can't help with any other type of corporate membership! Not even pt academy lol, and you're meant to not only do your training there but potentially be partners after! Not sure how the session for rent stuff works out either, cos a group session should be £50-60 so only two classes taught weekly should cover rent. If you don't have clients, loitering as spare gym instructors devalues the role of a pt, especially if they asking non pt duties!

Positive experience: Has plenty of kit and decent access but quite a numer of the bikes are faulty and unrepaired. I had reported some as well. Quite a few of the sanitiser sprays at the stations are often empty. Still better than another place beginning with X though.

Fantastic experience: Love this place a lot

Fantastic experience: Clean, well maintained no frills gym with plenty of equipment. Well stocked cleaning stations and reminders dotted around to clean equipment down before/after which people seem to be adhering to.

Fantastic experience: Good range of equipment, good price. Can't fault

Fantastic experience: Plenty of equipment that is well maintained and good quality. Cleaning stations dotted around and friendly atmosphere. Love that you can check how many people are using the gym at any given time by accessing the app as I prefer to go when its quiet.

Fantastic experience: Wspaniałe miejsce dla Wspaniałych ludzi

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, good equipment and nice workout environment
