PureGym London Bermondsey

Fantastic experience: Great gym to be in! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a supportive gym. Special shoutout to Medy who is always helpful, giving great gym tips!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff specially Medy (manager). Honestly you have to try his classes. The other instructions seem absent at times and only caring for their clients but overall nice and friendly atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly, atmosphere is good along with hygiene and machine avalability. Great place to work out at.

Negative experience: The gym I initially joined started off well, but went downhill. I've since left and joined another gym, and hoping for a better experience. At PureGym, broken equipment and facilities often go unrepaired for weeks, and the air conditioning struggles to keep up during peak hours - leaving me feeling like I need another shower after my visit! Another big issue and maybe partly due to the clientele, the gym looks ransacked after peak times, with weights scattered everywhere, making it difficult to find what I need . The primary problem, however, is the chronic overcrowding. PureGym seems more focused on growing its membership rather than ensuring a quality experience. I often had to wait ages for a free bench or share machines with one or two others. The issue is also exacerbated by gym staff using the equipment during peak hours too. It's unfortunate that this gym, which once filled an important need in the community, has declined into a gym best avoided.

Fantastic experience: Great team and I love the classes!

Fantastic experience: Manager Tunde gave me an iPhone charger and saved my day!

Fantastic experience: I cant get enough of medy’s classes, specially pump and spin. Also the staff are very nice and seem to make an effort to keep improving

Fantastic experience: PureGym Bermondsey truly exceeded my expectations! The gym is well-equipped and clean, creating a welcoming atmosphere for workouts. I had the pleasure of meeting personal trainer Medy, whose support and expertise were truly impressive. If you're looking for a friendly and knowledgeable trainer, or simply a great place to achieve your fitness goals, PureGym Bermondsey is the perfect choice!

Negative experience: Smells like piss, half the machines don’t work and it’s always busy.

Negative experience: Honestly, the only reason why I go to this gym is because it’s the only one near me. For some reason, this is the only PureGym I’ve been where people don’t put weights back or - even worse - steal those hooks from cable machines. The gym is gross, always smells bad and is full of mould (see picture).

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Wonderful and helpful staff. Manage was very nice.

Negative experience: One of the leg extension machines has been asymmetrical for a long time and has not been fixed, it tilts more to the right and only allows you to work the right leg. Someone should take care of that as soon as possible.

Negative experience: I'm giving an "It's ok" because there's indeed plenty of equipment and space and the location is convenient for me. I started attending this gym less than a month ago but there are so many small details that could be improved. But the worst bit is how disrespectful people are when it comes to putting your equipment back IN THE RIGHT PLACE. It's always a struggle to find the right dumbbell and I feel intimidated by the PTs and staff on the floor. Nor really friendly. Cleaning could definitely be improved too.

Positive experience: Mixed experience. Pros: Good range of equipment, clean, in and out quickly, repairs made quickly. Cons: Clowns with tripods and cameras *everywhere*, making it difficult to walk around let alone get on the kit you need. Often a weird atmosphere with man-children snarling and posturing at perceived slights.

Positive experience: My major issues with this gym is the lack of safety bars (not everyone knows or feels confident failing a squat safely). Another issue is the inconsistent air con so i no longer go at 6-7pm on weekdays cos it gets stinky and mustyyyy

Positive experience: Its a gym abductors and adductor need fixing they were out of order the last time i was here

Fantastic experience: Junior's class was a great mix of intensity and enjoyment. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to challenge themselves while having a good time in a supportive environment. I’m definitely looking forward to the next session!

Positive experience: Been going here consistently for over a year, and although I am happy generally the main reason I go here is because of the convenient location. Pros: Gym is spacious, equipment is plentiful, staff are friendly, zoning of the gym is logical (other puregyms arrange their free weights sections and crossfit areas poorly, here the layout makes sense) Cons: As with most gyms going during peak hour makes it impossible to use any equipment. Toilets/changing rooms always having issues and could do with better maintenance. There needs to be more cleaning spray and tissues readily available.

Positive experience: Regular user here, wish they had more common/essentials equipment. You may have to wait too much for time to time, pretty annoying given my workout has almost no special moves at all. Can be dense as well, so be careful about timing of your visit.

Fantastic experience: My favourite place! Lots of good gym classes.

Positive experience: 24h gym with 100% automated subscription + access processes! Good level of machines and a wide space!

Fantastic experience: This gym has everything you need, people are nice, Medy the manager is very attentive to needs of the gym floor, I recommend it !

Positive experience: Great sized gym with a good number of machines, weights and benches (not great as it could be given the floor space could accommodate kore

Fantastic experience: After 9years I must say I feel like home despite many changes in management. Since Medy started last year I could see a massive improvement in classes and cleanliness around the club. ❤️❤️✨✨

Fantastic experience: Just beside where I work , amazing for daily visit , clean and friendly staff , friendly environment as well , nothing bad honestly

Fantastic experience: The best gym classes! So fun, welcoming and I feel a serious burn the next day. I've learnt how to do so many new exercises and have started upping my weights which shows they are working. I have so much more confidence in the gym. The 30 min classes over lunch are perfect when I work from home so I never miss a workout!

Negative experience: 200 people at the gym and only one back machine is working and 4 other machines are not working been 1 week now. We pay we wanna use the machines. It shouldn’t take a big gym like pre gym so long to repair the machines. And hygiene on the gym is so bad on Dumblles shelfs

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this gym since 2021 and I must say this gym is outstanding. it is spacious, clean, and has variety of quality gym equipment. The personal trainers are very helpful and respectful. Moh has been amazing since he started, he has assisted me so many times at the gym. I was going to quit the gym out of lack of interest to continue because I wanted something exciting to do at the gym asides the usual workout routines, and I was so happy when Moh approached me and told me about the step dance class which had just started, I signed up and I am happy I did because it has been amazing. Puree gym is a happy place to work out and the team make you feel welcome. I would recommend it anytime you want a friendly gym, you will not regret it!

Negative experience: Very dirty! Equipment full of sweat, toilets overflowing, no soap on the sink ( this was in the ladies ). Super crowded too. Awful smell everywhere.

Fantastic experience: Good location. Great atmosphere, trainers and management are always friendly, welcoming and helpful. Gym floor and facilities are clean and there is availability of equipment. Omar is always helpful, diligent and supportive! His classes are well structured and inspiring. It's a great place to train!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff always helpful. Great management team, always listening and taking member's opinion into consideration. There is a friendly, respectful and great atmosphere to workout.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for over a year, real good atmosphere, has the machines I need to work out, generally busy after work hours but still enough space to get your workouts done.

Negative experience: In keeping with the Puregym app's general nosedive, the brick and mortar locations have gone for a similar drop in standards. If you enjoy no gym etiquette and thousands of deluded #southlondoninfluencers throw your money this way! Toilets don't work here either, so if you find yourself needing to go at any point... I don't know what to say

Positive experience: Spacious Puregym. Pretty well maintained. Lots of open areas where you can take a few weights & train. Good amount of benches. Not as oversold as some of the other locations. Few bits of feedback: - The vertical alignment is out of place on one of the fly-machines. (happens in a lot of Puregyms). - Please clean out the Yanga sports water dispenser more regularly. Coconut & pineapple tastes spoiled. Not sure about the other flavours as I haven't touched it since.

Negative experience: Showers are gross and ice cold, the male staff came once to to female changing room to sign the sheet for cleaning. WiFi doesn't work in most areas. The place can be packed on peak times but staff are limited when you actually need help.

Negative experience: Sadly this gym consistently falls below acceptable standards. Over the last year of my membership I have experienced at least 3 flooding of the male toilets, leaking roof, Yanga machine not functioning, the lack of heating in changing room and the smell coming from the drains. Today what looks like sewerage is flowing into the shower trays is the final straw for me. I will be leaving! Health Hazard!

Fantastic experience: Great team they help to keep me motivated, Marshall is doing a wonderful job.

Fantastic experience: What can I say about the amazing fitness team at PureGym Bermondsey.... Marshall/Omar/Alessio/Joe/Inno... just world class. They are the reason I remain consistent and committed to my fitness journey. They always make clients and everyone feel inclusive and enjoy an amazing experience. There is no such thing as being "shy"... not in our classes. We have fun. Fun burning fat. I absolutely love coming here. Let's make 2024 another wonderful fit year. Go Team!!!!

Negative experience: Dont feel safe leaving your belongings unattended, specially on Sundays or times where there is no staff working, as there are people out there stealing stuff. I went with a friend in a Sunday evening and after a 30-min workout went back to the locker which was not locked and from a bag and two coats, my one was not there. When I looked out for help there was no team members available which is frustrating and it gets me too pissed

Fantastic experience: The gym has everything necessary, is in general clean and the staff is friendly , familiar vibe as is usually same people working out

Fantastic experience: I cannot fault this gym. The team are amazing. Classes are challenging and I love every visit

Positive experience: Quite a large gym for London so usually can get on machines and weights alright. However they don’t replace or repair machines very quickly. You’d think for how many people pour money into this company they could keep the machines working - pretty much down to the last stair master out of 4 now. Also PureGym as a company make it quite hard to cancel or modify membership as a way to milk a few extra payments out of ya so watch out for that. But end of the day get what you pay for and it’s fairly cheap (again for London - £32 per month ish)

Negative experience: This place is off-the-charts popular, but not because it's top-notch. Don't get me wrong, it's a letdown. First things first, it's always jam-packed. Trying to squeeze your way onto a machine or find a free spot to work out is a daily struggle. It's like trying to fit in a sardine can. Rarely do they give sweaty equipment a proper cleaning. I've seen cleaner public restrooms than this place. When it comes to equipment, they're seriously lacking. You'd think with all the demand, they'd splurge on more machines, but it's a constant battle to snag anything remotely useful. And even when you do, half the time, the equipment is old and screaming for some TLC. I didn't really want to show the showers pictures, but when I told the person in charge about the problems with the showers, they acted like they didn't care and ignored me. The staff was really rude. The men's showers were in bad shape, with big problems in cleaning and maintenance. Some showers didn't work right, and others were really dirty and could be harmful to health. This place in my opinion, either warrants closure or requires a change in management right away.

Fantastic experience: Love working out here - it’s a great gym and has all the equipment you’d need for a good workout. The staff are fantastic; special shout out to Marshall for always having a smile on his face and keeping things running smoothly :)

Positive experience: Reasonable clean ( although never used the toilets). Great equipments and good variety too! The reason I am giving 3 stars is not about this specific gym… it’s for PureGym in general! This gym is extremely busy !!! At all the times! What are you ( as company) are doing to change this? Are you planning to open another one in the area

Fantastic experience: Newly refurbish, spacious and clean facilities, quality/ price is good. It can get a bit crowded in rush hour (which gym doesn't?) but other than that is a joy to workout in. Friendly staff and big shout to the managers who are always ready to help you with anything immediately, big shout out to Marshall for always being so helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great gym , variety of machines. Whenever a piece of equipment is broken it's fixed quickly.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym! not too overcrowded especially if you go in the morning. The manager definitely is doing an incredible job to keep it functioning and clean and if the machine are broke they Don't stay like this for too long. Overall a very nice and big gym but the best part for me are the spinning classes. Especially the one with Alessio, great instructor with a perfect balance of resistance, endurance and speed. Plus amazing attention to details when it come to the music track, you can definitely see that he put an effort to choce the right songs: from the very fast paced while speeding to the mellow yoga tune while doing stretching. Definitely a great asset to the Gym.

Fantastic experience: I found this gym one of the best of PureGym in London. Will PT is very friendly and always up for help.

Positive experience: Very good facility. Literally every single piece of equipment that you could need / use at the gym. Very dimly lit, and poorly ventilated. Gets ULTRA crowded during peak hours.

Negative experience: Horrendously busy unless you like to workout at 5/6am to actually be able to find a space or any equipment that is either working or not being taken by someone apparently stockpiling every weight they can gather. The place seems pretty grubby and dirty at the best of times and nobody seems to clear up after themselves. I've even spotted the staff working out and just leaving a pile of dumbbells and plates scattered about. The dirtiness is made worse now by less cleaning stations in the entire place.

Negative experience: Very good size and lots of equipment but is ridiculously busy especially after work, and there always seem to be 1 or 2 machines broken at any time, particularly the leg press and the treadmills. Staff are OK but need to keep a tighter handle on people cleaning up after themselves as the place is a tip most of the time and there's no repercussions for people who do it. They've recently also removed nearly all of the sanitising stations which seems a really weird decision given how hot it is and how sweaty the place is at the minute. Its good if you're going to work out early mornings (5/6am) or the hours when people are in work but otherwise its a nightmare, especially given how expensive it is.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Contains all the equipment you would need for a fair price.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with superb staff. Very sanitary and clean place and filled with nice people. Love the community here aswell as the spaciousness of the gym.

Negative experience: Ridiculously busy gym. I live around the corner form this gym but I'm forced to drive 15 minutes to the next Pure Gym because this one is always too busy. At times it feels like you are in an underground tube. Please either open another gym in the area or put the prices up to make this gym a pleasant experience.

Negative experience: Astonishing. NO words. I have recently joined. Planned a training schedule with a 10 k row at 5.15am Can You believe not 1 of the rowing machines was working. Broken straps . No batteries. No staff anywhere.

Positive experience: Nice place, not too crowded in the morning. 1 or 2 machines are broken, unfortunately. One was fixed quickly and other is still not working. No TRX in this branch :( Apart from that, the staff is very friendly and ready to help, very nice people.

Negative experience: This gym is collapsing! Always 2-3 machines are out of service, dirty and smelly toilets and now they are increasing again the membership fees.

Positive experience: Good gym, has all you'd need but (weird complaint I know) it's so so hot here always! Like it feels about 23 degrees most days here. Turn down the Temperature, save some money! Good gym otherwise.

Positive experience: Limited equipment given how many people use the gym. It's not rare for some equipment to be out of service for weeks at a time.

Fantastic experience: Great PureGym like others. This PureGym has a great selection of equipment for both cardio as weights. The gym is large in size and has areas for each type of exercise. Great gym for casual goers and newer members. Prices aren’t too bad for the quality of gym you pay for. Toilets and shower facilities are inside. Lockers inside for you to store your things while you workout. Very handy bicycle parking and on street parking available.

Negative experience: It is ridiculous that one room is so warm, and other room is freezing cos of air conditioners. All the room supposed to in one level of temperature. I catch cold a few times cos of that, One room is so warm, doing exercises getting so sweaty and when you going to other room is so cold and thats make you sick!!!! I think I should unsubscribe my membership unfortunately

Fantastic experience: Very clean gym and well organised. The manager Will is polite. The gym is near so its very easy to get to.

Fantastic experience: It’s a clean and nice gym. The manager helped me with the weights as I was slightly unsure. But he made sure I was doing it correctly

Negative experience: Steppers too close to each other, many treadmills don’t work, wi fi doesn’t work, only 2 sets of light weights so never available, only very large locks work in the changing rooms .. at the same time they make thousands every hour as the gym is packed! Is any staff checking this gym and machines?!? Overpaying! Horrible experience!

Fantastic experience: Really good gym, they have such passion and energy for what they do! Trainer Willian is a Brilliant professional!

Positive experience: It is a good gym, generally speaking it is clean and staff are good. Showers in male changing room, could do with more attention. Lots of equipment, if you don't like free weights you have options. It is busy, especially in the afternoon and evening. But nothing can be done about that.

Positive experience: Upgraded gym from 2022, monthly nice price. Horribly crowded peak hours, where you can't even stand up. Outside of this, it is easy to be able to do your training and be able to do different exercises without waiting too long. Great staff, cleaning all areas in their quieter moments. Full of phone tripods to record your workouts and it is uncomfortable Reduced bike parking and easily steals any part of the bike or bike. The APP allows you to know how many people are online in the gym so you can understand if it is a good time to go. In addition, you can access the gym only by scanning the QR: (to improve, when the gym is unattended, you need to enter the manual code at the door, so the app doesnt work.

Positive experience: Really good gym for a reasonable price. The classes are generally really good (especially in Cycle - Will was great) although I think they should probably cap the numbers lower for the classes in the studio, when it can feel over-crowded sometimes. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Could do with more bike racks out front as they're always full when I arrive.

Fantastic experience: Good space and range of machines. Trainers (special shouts to Marshall & Ola!) are always on hand for anything, I always get a good workout in even when it's busy!

Fantastic experience: Started going to this gym last year. Great range of equipment and staff are very friendly and helpful!

Fantastic experience: I love the gym because the staff are very nice and welcoming, the place is very big and I was able to ask any questions about the gym to the staff. 10/10 recommend

Fantastic experience: PureGym Bermondsey is the best gym. They have a variety of gym equipment to suit everyone’s training and body goals. They also have the most friendly and helpful PTs, so even if it’s your first time and the gym or your 100th time there’s always someone on hand to give you advice, whether it be advice on form or ways to switch up your gym routine. I absolutely love it here!

Fantastic experience: Joined Bermondsey Pure gym in January & very pleased I have done, great classes…especially Will’s spin class, I can always guarantee to have the best spin work out, have fun during the class and beat my PB!! We need more spin classes like Will’s, in the mornings & evenings :)

Fantastic experience: Large gym with lots of equipment, got everything you need and been very impressed! The spin chases are also very good! I’ve tried most spin studios in london and wasn’t expecting much at Pure but very impressed! Will is very motivating and you get a good class!

Fantastic experience: Best gym where to find the best classes! Circuits class with PT Alessio was AMAZING! During the class I was feeling like dying, but after i was feeling physically and mentally stronger, next week I’ll be there again. Everyone should try Alessio’s class at least once!

Fantastic experience: A really well laid out to gym with great facilities. The members of staff are very helpful and friendly. In particular, Alessio Ruggieri is an exemplary member of staff, both his personal training sessions and classes are a pleasure to attend and he has really helped me these past few months.

Fantastic experience: This gym is very good. All the equipment is very clean and there is a lot space

Fantastic experience: This gym is very good as the environment is friendly and everyone is helpful in the gym. This gym has helped me build discipline and confidence in myself. Best gym in southwark.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, need more equipment. Love the size, of the place, just more equipment.

Fantastic experience: I like the staff members at puregym. Especially because they are so nice and friendly. One of honorable mention is PT Jamie. He is so friendly and helpful even though I am not his client. He has always given me good advice!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy this gym especially the staff members who work at this gym. In particular I would like to nominate Richard and Allesio as they are always happy to just be there and have provided me with a lot of advice even though I am not their client. These 2 shine a lot at puregym however the other pts and staff members are amazing too!

Positive experience: It's a good gym in terms of range of equipment, location, etc, but it's now just got way too busy, and it's really difficult to complete your workout without waiting around for equipment or finding the space to do what you need to do. As another consequence, the equipment such as accessories for cable machines and the incremental weights are all over the place, you have to hunt around for them, and there are just not enough of them. I also go to the St. Paul's branch and this is much better to get a good workout in, and all machines have a full set of incremental weights, everything is where is should be and easy to find.

Negative experience: This gym is always packed. Never had a good workout because of that, Need to wait a lot for an equipment. I hate that... Absolutely not recommended...

Fantastic experience: Spacious, good facilities, friendly staff. Great gym to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, been coming in lately the vibe has been fantastic. Clean and organised. Lovely staff, shout out to Will and Marshall for changing up the gym.

Fantastic experience: Busy gym but it’s pretty big and everyone is very friendly! I also do Eddies spin class every Monday and it’s always a great atmosphere, with vibing music and a killer workout.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming staff members. The managers always say hello. There is more space and people are very helpful with a nice community gym feel. I was working out and someone helped me as I was doing my workout. Love this gym.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to gym for a while, and I have always found this gym to be a friendly gym to attend, it can be busy at times, but I find enough space to do my workouts. The gym is a place where I feel great to train at. Love the refurbishment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, busy but has a very lovely athompshere. Highly recommended.

Negative experience: After 8 years a s a client at Bermondsey pure gym always putting folded Brompton bike under the locker room bench - new manager has refused to allow me to continue to do so as it breached "health and safety rules". Rude and totally unhelpful. Just lost PG my subscription. Rubbish interpersonal skills Nd v bad management. Will make sure to tell everyone about the experience.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym. A lot of space, loads of equipment - benches, squat racks - honestly, brilliant gym. Price is very decent too!!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the local area by far. Great service when needed. Gym is spacious and has everything that is needed for a good workout.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, Richard my p.t is extremely encouraging and always on hand to help. The gym itself has an amazing vibe and definitely would recommend.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in South London. Very friendly and helpful staff and has all the necessary equipment to have a great workout. My favourite gym, I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Gym feels like Home… Wearing Hijab in public has never been easy, you’re always questioned no matter what. One of the most welcoming Gym I have ever been to! These past 6 months have been incredible and I can’t wait to create more memories… The staff is supportive and extremely encouraging. Would 110% recommend this Gym, well, I travel to Bermondsey all the way from Stratford. Nothing more left to say I believe… “Patience leads to Success”!

Fantastic experience: I always feel comfortable at this gym. It’s clean, has the necessary equipment and great staff… I find Marshall in particular to be very friendly and helpful. I absolutely love his spinning classes!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym and everyone who comes here! I would like to give a massive shoutout to Marshall for showing me around the gym.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I've ever been to. I've been going here for over 5 years and the most recent refurbishment of the gym is the best yet. Lots of space, a huge variety of equipment, and multiple cleaning stations too. The personal trainers here are the friendliest I've ever seen and they really make you feel welcome. Anyone on the fence should definitely sign up - you will not regret it!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for about two years and visit the gym 5-6 days out of the week, seen a big improvement since the refurb, the new layout works well. Staff are friendly and there to assist if need be. Some of the reviews have unrealistic expectations; yes, the gym is really busy during peak hours, but it’s the only well-equipped chain gym in close proximity, and the gym itself isn’t to blame for that. Other members are generally happy to share equipment when it’s busy, you just need to ask politely, I’ve never been denied such a request. Generally, it has a good atmosphere of people working on themselves and I find myself enjoying my workouts
