PureGym London Kentish Town

Fantastic experience: Amazing workout

Positive experience: Clean, cheap, quiet (just until 5)

Fantastic experience: Very good i like it

Fantastic experience: me and my mum go to the puregym pump/legs bums and tums at least 3 times a week if not more! we love the classes and they make us feel more confident about going to the gym, the staff work really hard to make it a nice vibe and make everyone feel welcome (special shout-out to Haylie, Pa, and Sebastian)

Fantastic experience: It should be full time open

Negative experience: There are flies and worms in every shower cubicle every time, and they don't care. That's not an exaggeration. The basement studio gym is 1 minute around the corner, around the same price, and it's much cleaner.

Fantastic experience: Excellent I’m new to the gym and I found the staff to be lovely and helpful no problem getting on the running/walking machines which is great news for me there is also loads of classes and great equipment

Fantastic experience: Great spin class with Anthony, really worked us hard. Nice clean gym, new spin bikes (they gotvthem 3 weeks ago)

Positive experience: Decent gym with a good range of classes. The Tuesday evening spin class is a great class!!!

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym atmosphere.

Negative experience: The place definitley needs more care. I'm seeing broken equipment, unorganised dumbell racks and broken lockers. Also the vibe of the gym is not really a social one. I've tried to make some connections but i've not been successful. The only positive thing is that there is a lot of equipment albiet it is old. Not to mention there are flies some times.

Positive experience: Nice gym

Positive experience: Good gym, giving 3 stars as it closes super early on weekends, which is when I tend to exercise later in the day

Fantastic experience: I'm really impressed with this gym. Clean, loads of equipments, nice staff & good classes. It's great value for money & I'm really happy I joined.

Fantastic experience: Andy is excellent. Wish there were more 45 min classes tho

Fantastic experience: Always a great spin class with Andy, he keeps me motivated when I am dying and I feel great afterwards, although very exhausted!

Positive experience: I joined on Monday this week and have done 3 spin classes so far, all amazing and very positive instructors! Making me feel very welcome. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Andy’s Cycle class is really good!

Fantastic experience: Pump with Andy Lee at Kentish Town was amazing!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, not too busy but averaging 60 people at most times of the day.

Negative experience: Like most people these days I’m time-poor, so when the class starts 12 minutes late it really impacts me. And no apology from the trainer. I don’t want to engage in good-natured bants, I want to train. On time.

Fantastic experience: Great introduction to weightlifting with Furkan today. I love the many options available at PureGym in terms of classes and machines.

Fantastic experience: I really like this gym. It is clean and tidy and is very spacious. I love the way it has been organised especially in terms of where equipment are and how the space has been used. Changing rooms and showers are very clean also and it is very hygienic. Really nice gym with lovely staff members.

Fantastic experience: Great spin class today with Andy. He is the best spin instructor in Kentish Town!

Fantastic experience: Amazing spin class - loved it!

Fantastic experience: Excellent Class. Rahman is extremely focused, helpful, knowledgeable and a brilliant trainer. I have attended many a spinning class in this pure gym and Rahman has displayed & shown the best standard of coaching by far.

Fantastic experience: Great teacher, hard, but fun class. Thanks Rahman

Fantastic experience: Amazing class as always. One of the best teachers .

Positive experience: I have been coming to this gym for more than five years. Anthony is an incredible trainer, and the rest of the PTs are knowledgeable about their professions. There have been ups and downs with the facilities, but they always fix them. I find the manager to be very helpful. As far as I can tell, everything is going well.

Positive experience: Decent gym, nice classes and instructors.

Negative experience: WiFi doesn’t work anymore. Some equipment is always broken and the roof is leaking when raining. Price is good. Could use some heavier kettlebells above 24kg. Edit: 2 stars. Putting back weights doesn’t seem to apply to staff. How do you expect gym goers to apply, if staff are leaving 100kgs on a bar?

Fantastic experience: Great gym, spacious and amazing class. Shout out to Kay and Andy for your outstanding work

Negative experience: Don't waste your time here, a really poorly run gym. Seldom opens on time. There is definitely a fly problem. Staff are rude and unhelpful. Equipment is often faulty and left in a mess. I'd recommend going somewhere else if you want somewhere half decent to train.

Negative experience: Tried to use hydro massage table but one of the staff team slept on it Time to change gym I wish I could sleep at mine work

Positive experience: Friendly staff generally but not a guy called Cruz. I approached him with a simple question about one of the machines and he just loses it. Completely unnecessary and unprofessional. The lack of signal on the gym floor is a bit annoying. Other than that, its decent. Plenty of space and equipment

Negative experience: Today has been the 6th time I have arrived at the gym at 6am ready for it to open and no staff have turned up to open the doors. Today 20+ people were outside in the cold waiting for staff to turn up. The longest it has taken someone to open the doors is just over an hour. This is extremely frustrating when waking up at 5:30am to get an early session in, and it happens way too often. On a more positive note, the gym equipment is decent and the staff are friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Very convenient. Just one thing - Need digital clocks all around. Not everyone trains with their Mobile.

Negative experience: Incredibly hot and humid aerobics area with seemingly no A/C. A/C issue has been ongoing for months and no sign of it being fixed. Possibly dangerously warm for cardio

Positive experience: the gym has so many flies in the main lifting area. Not clean at all!!! Do something @puregym!

Fantastic experience: Trainer Furkan was extremely helpful, highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Had a trial session with PT Furkan. Great trainer. Even one session was already useful and clarified the techniques of many exercises. The personal approach is very nice and helpful in achieving the set goal. Overall, like the gym, clean and tidy. The staff is always welcoming and ready to help. Love group classes

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good equipment and friendly management. Had a fantastic tour of the gym and its facilities today. Can’t wait to join :)

Negative experience: The majority of the male changing room lockers are are broken and not working. I guess that some gym attendants are breaking them on purpose, where the security is? In the busiest days is impossible to find a working lockers, just the broken ones are available. When the gym will fix this situation? The gym equipment is ok.

Negative experience: Equipment is good, but could do with more variety. The only time I’ve used the toilets they were unflushed and dirty. The air con doesn’t seem to work, it can be pretty hot and stuffy. However my biggest issue with this gym is the personal trainers dominate multiple pieces of equipment across the gym floor. I’ve worked in gyms for over 10 years, personal trainer for 5 of them, and never have I experienced anything like it. Two separate occasions after waiting for a piece of equipment, I start setting up the handles/cables for my routine and a personal trainer comes running over saying the equipment is being used in a superset with a client who is the totally opposite side of the gym floor. No gym etiquette at all. The second time it happened I told the personal trainer that he shouldn’t be dominating equipment like this, he sort of laughed it off and continued anyway. Luckily this is not my home gym, I only use it when working nearby, but if it was I would’ve cancelled my membership already.

Positive experience: Gym is incredibly clean and tidy and there are many pieces of equipment for whatever your goals are (although I have noticed they do not have leg abductor/adductor machines). The cleaning stations are hardly ever stocked which is very annoying, as it is nice to be able to clean down equipment before and after use. Probably one of the best kept PureGyms though.

Negative experience: Opening times Saturday and Sundays are 8am till 8 pm.

Negative experience: I can't do payment and nobody from customer service team does not contact with me due Instagram

Fantastic experience: Nice gym to come and training, most of the equipment you need you can find here. Have one PT very rude, you need to go slowly don't take him. Good gym for lifting. Now you can can and visit the gym for free.

Fantastic experience: There is something for everyone... cardio... machine weights... free weights... machine massages... dance classes.... bike classes.. newbie classes etc... friendly staff and everyone's welcoming! Very clean and loads of equipment!

Negative experience: Anthony has an aggressive attitude, makes me not want to come back

Fantastic experience: Had an impromptu session with PT Furkan, and he was great! He gave me and a friend a really good workout, corrected our form and definitely increased my confidence using equipment. Finished off our weight session with a tough circuit-which was great, he was not letting us off lightly! Highly recommend him as a PT, any time I’m at the gym and he’s there, he pops over to encourage and will give a demonstration if needed. All the staff are super friendly and helpful, always welcoming, visible and offering help if needed. Overall, the gym is really friendly and clean-most people clean up after themselves, wiping down equipment. Ladies changing room is super clean!

Negative experience: Disappointed that PureGym Kentish Town is dropping to only one yoga class per week.

Negative experience: My husband went there today 12/08/2022 morning time on summer jeans to do a arms exercises and a rude personal trainer ask him to leave the gym premises because he can’t wear jeans. What is wrong with this people?? He will find different gym. We was im different brands and they never told us anything about this. There is nowhere in the gym policy or Agreement saying that you have to wear specific clothes !! I will take this higher!! This is a discrimination against people.

Fantastic experience: Nice area. Clean and plenty of stuff for exercise. There have chair massage for 10 minutes But the pure gym is not 24H/7days.

Positive experience: Equipment-wise it has most of what I’d require + a sizeable free weights section. Downsides however, are the gym seems and feels unclean (e.g. I’ve had flies land on me during workouts in the free weights room and the room/windows are littered with cobwebs). Also weights are rarely replaced in the correct areas - a problem that occurs all times of day and nothing seems to be done to combat this other than reminding people of the CCTV overwatch.

Negative experience: Update: The policies of the gym from the top management are disgraceful. Nothing against the staff. It's very very busy so you'll be waiting around a lot.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym in every way. Friendly staff, people and atmosphere. This is how every gym should be! A wide array of equipment and brilliant classes too!

Negative experience: Equipment is a bit worn out and the toilets are smelly and frequently blocked. Difficult to cancel membership. They ask for lots of notice, so back to the bad old ways.

Positive experience: Gym is a very good one , its clean , friendly atmosphere , good classes. But the negative side of it its the water temperature of the shower. Its too hot , very unpleasant and not good for your body / hair Neither in the winter its pleasant , needs to be lowered a bit, doesn't need to be that hot

Fantastic experience: Staff, trainers and members all friendly, clean gym and showers etc. No posing or showing off, plenty of equipment available.

Negative experience: Couldnt ask for a better bunch of staff who have been the reason why i keep coming back. But now there has been a change in management which came with a drop in lunch time spin classes and more classes stopping soon enough i am loosing my love for kentish town pure gym. Mikhail, Tony and Nic deliver some of my favourite classes which is the only reason i am holding on. The gym itself is very tired and uncared for. A spin studio which has been out of action for months with the rest of the place looking very tired. It seems like the gym that has been forgotten about unfortunately. Its a real shame as all the old school staff actually bring the place to life. Its just unfortunate that pure gym themselves let them the staff and us customers down with the poor at state of the place.!! Top marks also to Clive as the assistant manager who always seems positive whatever the weather *** update to my previous review below*** So it's been 8 months since I posted my last review and over a year since the spin studio closed for repair . Do you actually have any intentions of repairing it or doing any work to the gym for that matter? Of all the pure gyms I have attended this one is the most tired one and half the spin bikes don't work properly!! Staff don't seem to stick around neither!!

Positive experience: not a bad Puregym at all, but showing some signs of age. The room for classes could do with being cleaned regularly (the floor is filthy with dirt and dust, most of which you suck in when smashing through your press-ups -- and not in a good, spit and sawdust way either). Some of the machines are rusting, and showing a bit of wear and tear. Great free weight area though. Hopefully now people are returning in droves there can be some more strident reparation in other parts of the gym. But who knows. Let's go champ!

Fantastic experience: Nice gym, well equipped and everyone is into their lifting

Fantastic experience: Amazing service from Nick. Great classes too. Gym always so clean and well equipped.

Fantastic experience: Great local gym. Staff and trainers are friendly, helpful and deliver some great classes. It’s clean and always has a good vibe. Great value for the low membership cost.

Fantastic experience: The price increased so much! But wherever i went today to do a viewing on the Pure Gym Highgate i would like to make a compliment about Clive that show me the gym. Thanks Clive!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym

Fantastic experience: Good staff and members are reasonable.

Positive experience: Clean, not to packed in the morning between 9 and 11

Negative experience: Spider webs all over the place, sleeves up and clean please.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym and clean, the classes are fantastic

Fantastic experience: I love going to this gym due to very helpful and informative PTs. Classes are challenging but fun, each week there are different sets of excercises - big shout out to Lauren and Furkan!

Negative experience: Since opening back from the lockdown the quality of the gym has plunged. The massage chairs have been out of service since before they closed in the lockdown and when asked they say it will be fixed “by next week” yet week by week my premium bill payments are been taken out on time. The cleaning stations have become less frequent around the gym as well as tissues in these stations always run out so no one can clean after using machines.

Fantastic experience: Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Positive experience: No digital studio

Positive experience: My direct review via PureGym was not approved for some obscure reason, so I will just post here. I have been going to this gym for some time. I like it, there are plenty of equipment and it is never overly crowded. I did go back after the lockdown and, while there are a few cleaning stations (I feel that there used to be more before the November lockdown), I think staff should also walk around a bit and clean equipment and encourage everyone to wdar masks between exercises/machines. I know that no one is apparently legally allowed to wear one (as a French man I find it surprising. Things are definitely stricter in France), there should be signs indicating clearly that this is strongly encouraged. Take your stand PureGym. You know that gyms have been a source of contamination, and probably continue being one, so be stricter.

Positive experience: It's a well equipped gym. they advertise palates and yoga but don't offer it in there classes.

Fantastic experience: This place is a little gem! It’s close to home which makes it a great option for me. I had a great induction with Chris who I would highly recommend working with. Coming back to the gym after a long break was overwhelming but Chris was kind, professional and also but me through my paces. I’m definitely considering PT with Chris after the new year! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: good place, highly recommended

Positive experience: It's an OK gym, pricey and not as big as expected but the app gives you information on how many people are currently in which is great.

Negative experience: is not clean at all, weights and machines feel grimey. needs a deep clean. Tottenham Court Road puregym is always clean, why can't this one be?

Fantastic experience: During quarantine the staff is dezintecting machines a lot, there's also quite a few sanitazer stations

Fantastic experience: Clean, covid-safe, it's great to be back at the gym. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: The purest gym there is

Positive experience: Clean place, big, many machines, classes etc... good gym. Should be open 24/7

Fantastic experience: Хороший спортзал.

Fantastic experience: One of the nicest puregyms near central, with a carpark as well

Positive experience: Nice and clean

Positive experience: I came to say PTs and staff are very unfriendly but noticed many ppl have said that before. I guess there’s not much hope then? How hard is it to say good morning these days? Other than that well equipped and clean (except for that leak that’s been there for months).

Negative experience: Have attempted to join this gym on six separate occasions, I’ve gone there at mornings, afternoons and evenings on various days of the week, called them, emailed and.... Not a single one answered. It seems as though no staff work here, and if you are very new to the gym like me, you’ll need the help. But that service isn’t offered here. you’re expected to join online, create your own workout and do it yourself. This gym seems not to cater to beginners at all and doesn’t want their business. Doubt they even have personal trainers to

Positive experience: Spacious gym

Positive experience: 4 stars because it's well-priced for students (£20/month). Equipment is in good condition and usually only a short wait (if any) at off-peak times for machines. Shame about the ceiling constantly leaking and unnerving barriers around where the floor is caving in ...

Fantastic experience: Great gym with numerous machines and weights.

Negative experience: Literally 4 barbells for the thousands of members, constantly waiting for one to be free and can never finish a workout because of it. It's an absolute joke, also the showers are ridiculously hot and some of the personal trainers hog equipment until their clients turn up which often takes 20+ minutes.

Positive experience: Would be better if it was a 24hr Pure Gym

Positive experience: I've been a member since it opened (approaching 2 years). Good array of machines including treadmills etc. Classes of all types which are free I believe. I mainly use the machines for my needs. I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Very clean, even when it's busy you can usually find a machine or bench.

Fantastic experience: Great facility!

Positive experience: Nice and clean always packed from about 7am

Positive experience: Well apportioned gym with plenty of equipment and space. Can be busy like any gym but one never really struggles for equipment and space unless it’s at an absolute peak. It also has a fruit flavored water machine that is free for Extra members (free as of October 2018).
