PureGym London Wandsworth

Positive experience: Puregym Wandsworth is great if you want a gym that SUCKS :) ridiculous floor and equipment distribution, not enough weights and not enough variety of equipment, tiny tiny rooms. It’s like a maze of tiny rooms and you struggle to finish a workout cause you have to keep going up and down 3 floors and getting lost. I’m putting 3 stars instead of 1 because I love Puregym and have been with it for years, switching locations every time I moved. I have been to at least 5 different Puregyms in London but this time I am particularly disappointed and thinking of changing gym. Why did they have to use this weird old building?!

Positive experience: Get more than one bench press, I actually beg of you. And also more than one lat pulldown machine. You have doubles of machine preachers and those weird tricep extension machines but only one bench press and one lat pulldown. That is crazy icl

Negative experience: Been training at this gym for a long time - the equipment and especially the trainers are great but recently a lot of the facilities (AC and toilets) have been breaking and they’re doing very little to fix it. Walked in today and the place absolutely stinks of sewage. Will be considering a switch if they don’t change it soon.

Fantastic experience: New equipment the gym is always empty, very spacious and great location, loads of machines and clean!

Fantastic experience: Great gym love, it's open 24h

Positive experience: Busy busy gym. Not a lot of floor space with benches. Lots of queuing/sharing equipment with others.

Negative experience: It's my second day in this gym and I'm already bored. How is it possible that they close one of the public areas at 12am in the morning? and the first floor is small, there is no space to do exercises with dumbbells, only the machines and few people fit, I have to carry the dumbbells up to the 3rd floor because if I go to take them from the public section that they closed, they will tell me that it is not possible. I imagine, they should put a sign saying that they will close the areas or do it in the very early hours, we all have rights, it is not possible for us to be excluded

Negative experience: Sadly a very dirty gym. Lack of fitness classes consistently on, not much staff around. Weights area is quite small and often have to wait even when off peak. The ladies changing room/bathroom is soo dirty and very smelly, never came in and saw it clean. Even at hand wash basin I came in on Thursday saw ginger hair around sink took a rest day Friday but on Saturday came back that same strand was still there I've been to better pure gyms than this

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, saved me from crushing myself as i improve myself. 10/10 would do it again

Negative experience: This gym is ultimately the reason I withdrew from my PureGym membership. I was previously at Purley where I was paying less, and moved into Wandsworth. However, the bathroom (male) facilities always has a bad smell, and the toilets are really untidy. In addition, I feel like more work could have been done on the orientation of where the weights are placed and how people use the sprint track. It has all the equipment, but unfortunately the gym is just not good for me, and the air conditioning is null. Gyms should give you a fresh sense when you enter but this one doesn't. Now at Nuffield Health.

Negative experience: I really like this gym but the fact I’m here at 5am to train and all the lights are off in the main gym area is ridiculous and very dangerous. There’s literally people working out in the dark and I’ve already injured myself once. What a joke

Negative experience: the quality is dropping again! Today, Sunday, the gym is cruelly dirty! walls, mirrors, floor, everything! The bathrooms are always in trouble and the men's bathroom, in the flush area, doesn't smell like sewage and mold.

Positive experience: Pictures make it look way bigger than it is. However decent gym

Positive experience: Only comment would be due to no staff being around at weekends users never put things back where they should be which is very frustrating. You should keep announcing or have posters up reminding users to do so especially for the cable machines.

Negative experience: The lazy gym managers need to fix the horrendous dumbell situation here, considering how they do nothing else but stand around looking up people or on their phones

Fantastic experience: Awesome

Positive experience: Has everything apart from a seated row.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Plenty of equipment and the classes are fantastic. Never too busy to a very good price. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Always clean and so big didn’t expect this much space. Lots of different machines and little rooms to work out in private.

Positive experience: Nice gym with loads of equipment. It gets very busy at times.

Negative experience: All the lockers are broken. Toilets are always broken. Men's changing rooms stink the whole time. Whole gym smells of sweat. No windows. Only good thing is the price.

Positive experience: Attending on boxing day - multiple pieces of the same equipment , cleaning station provided. several floors. Stretching area. No car park.

Fantastic experience: Very spacious with plenty of free weights and machines.

Negative experience: WiFi never works and there's no air con. Not nice to visit

Negative experience: The facilities are not bad and the pt’s are good but some of the classes, particularly on Monday & Tuesday are very oversubscribed to the point now where it’s becoming a health and safety issue & there simply isn’t enough room to perform the activities in the class. People who are on the waiting list are turning up & taking part and some of the pt’s are to nice to just tell them the class is full and there isn’t enough room for them to take part. This need to be addressed urgently as it’s an accident waiting to happen.

Fantastic experience: Great experience

Fantastic experience: Way bigger than it looks, every piece of equipment looks fresh and all were available, great air temp and very good price for what’s on offer.

Negative experience: This venue is too cramped

Positive experience: Modern gym, could do with more AC.

Positive experience: 24 hrs Good facilities Cheap monthly plans

Positive experience: Great gym. Nice and clean. Many options for cardio or muscle Only downside is the many stairs, like 3 floors

Negative experience: Looking closer to a maze rather than a gym, damp smell everywhere, a constant leak held by 2 buckets on the ground floor, stretching area is quite tiny, and a cold shower to complete the lot!

Negative experience: Rude bitter woman working as staff.

Negative experience: The whole of last week the coloured water machine hasn't been working and it's a new week and still nothing PureGym don't care about the customers just the money!

Negative experience: Equipments rusty, and not that clean. Far too many people for the number of machines even at off peak times.

Negative experience: (15.04.23) No hot water has been a problem for far too many weeks. Maintenance is a serious issue at this branch.

Positive experience: Fairly good gym. Never too busy when I visit. Changing rooms and showers are a bit tired

Negative experience: Half of the Men's showers are broken and the few left that work have only cold water. It's been for months like this. This is definitely not what I am paying for

Fantastic experience: Absolutely lovely ,the staff take a time to warm to you but big of Tom a personal trainer he is super cool .

Negative experience: Gym is so small guys don’t waste your money and time

Fantastic experience: One of the best PureGyms I’ve been too.

Fantastic experience: The gym have a varietion of classes and staff are very friendly. Gym have everything u need for a good gym session

Negative experience: Ok

Fantastic experience: Perfect

Negative experience: I used a three day free trial at this gym to try it out as I wanted to join a gym. The first thing I noticed was that I could only go to the specific gym I had the pass for. I only noticed this once trying to gain access to the putney gym... But the code to enter didn't work. This wasn't a great start. The problem with these gyms being unstaffed is that you can't actually speak to anyone to resolve the issue and gain entry. You can't even phone them as they don't have a phone number. All you can do is email them and wait several hours for an answer, but why would you waste several hours waiting outside a gym for an answer to an email? Very impractical. I then walked to the gym in Wandsworth Town which is the gym I had initially selected and fortunately gained access. I tried this gym out for three days and it also seemed like it was usually unstaffed. I at least managed to gain access and was able to exit the gym without much ado. Although, needing a code to gain entrance and the gym being unstaffed didn't fill me with much confidence if the emergency services would need to gain immediate access due to needing a code to get in. If they did manage to get in by some quirk of fate, and needed to stretcher someone out then there's no way in a thousand years they'd be able to carry anyone out on a stretcher through those pods - even if they had a code. I know they have their emergency leaver in case of an emergency, but they would still struggle to get in even if the emergency button worked properly. From reading other reviews it seems like the emergency button has been used before and there was no help available. For these reasons I would not recommend using this gym, even if it is somewhat cheaper than the competitors. The lower price comes at a higher risk!

Positive experience: Happy with the facilities, just wish there was a yoga or zumba class to join.

Fantastic experience: A much better gym than others locally, albeit leg machinery is lacking, as seems to be the case with most PureGyms.

Fantastic experience: I was a little nervous of going to a gym, but as the weather got rainy I found it hard to continue my woddling (jogging) in the park on a regular basis. So I joined a gym. Pure Gym in Wandsworth is quite and I found I got comfortable there quite quickly. The only down side was when I 1st attended there were no staff or reception, so I found myself wondering round aimlessly and using the wrong equipment for me (it would have been nice to have someone there just to show you were things are. However I found the app extremely useful and simple in showing how the apparatus works, which really enhanced my experience. I am beginning to enjoy it there now. It is easy to keep yourself to yourself and not feel that you are being judge. And you can use it at any time.

Positive experience: Good gym for the price and a good size and a good variety of equipment

Negative experience: Not great. Won't be renewing my membership. Edit - Not enough equipment, when it's busy you're waiting around for ages.

Positive experience: Everything you need in a gym. Cheap memberships for London and offers great classes. Equipment is relatively well maintained. Can get busy at peak hours but hasn't stopped me getting on the things I want to use.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Positive experience: Been coming here for a while, staff are friendly, faciltiies are a bit lacking (especially the cleanliness of the changing rooms) but at the end of the day for the price it's pretty difficult to beat in london.

Fantastic experience: Ótima academia, bem equipada, bem distribuída.

Negative experience: Always problems with payments and they try to change you extra 'admin fee' because they problems whit admin. And take weeks to resolve the problem with the email to costumer service. In the mean time you cant attend the gym so you keep wasting money. So unfair. I don't recommend it at all.

Negative experience: I go to Puregym Wandsworth frequently but recently I was extremely appalled by the lack of support from staff. A lady injured herself last Sunday when the gym was unstaffed and no one responded to the other gym members who were trying to call for help using the red emergency help point... The poor lady was feeling unwell for an hour and other members called 999 and carried her outside and helped her get into a taxi to the hospital, whilst the gym announcements were running every 10 minutes "If you need any help during the hours your gym is unstaffed you can contact our CCTV team using one of the red emergency help points located around the gym. Our CCTV team work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and all activity inside of our gyms is recorded. Our teams have the ability to monitor and speak directly into a gym using the tannoy system if required." This concerns me a lot and I do not feel confident using the gym during unstaffed hours anymore.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym

Positive experience: Great space comfortable environment

Positive experience: Good value for money. Not too busy, plenty of space and equipment. Classes are impossible to book!

Positive experience: One of the better PureGym in London

Negative experience: A lot of equipment is breaking and the cleaning equipment is not stocked. Most likely due to them reducing staff hours so not the staff's fault.

Fantastic experience: very good and quiet just right to work out

Positive experience: Decent space but the lights on the ceiling are too string and they blind you when excercising looking up and they make you dizzy.

Fantastic experience: Great stuff, worker's, personal trainer's & clean place

Fantastic experience: Great gym , always clean and the staff is very friendly .

Negative experience: Already oversubscribed before the January rush. Any hours outside 9-5 and you’re going to be disappointed.

Positive experience: No staff member on hand when I visited at 4pm. Interesting layout to the gym.

Fantastic experience: Nice gym plenty of apparatus and not to busy

Positive experience: Meandering. Sometimes full to the brim, so it is almost impossible to do any exercise routine.

Fantastic experience: Enough equipment not to wait long time,staff is always present and friendly,other members polite to.Makes it all a pleasant experience.

Fantastic experience: Best atmosphere , and best personal trainers in London , I love this place because let me give from myself this 110 % as you guys know ... Matt

Positive experience: Overall it's a good place. Spacious with lot of equipment. The only thing I miss is connect. Means I do not find anyone there to ask anything.. I am new to gyms so always need guidance. Hence started using mobile app to have gym schedule.

Positive experience: Does have a lot of the equipment you need, but can get quite busy during peak times that you can’t get on anything. Only one flat chest press bench and 3 racks.

Fantastic experience: Amazing clean gym and the staff (Paul and Enoch in particular) Are fantastic! The customers that frequent the gym are very considerate and kind as well ...never any problems!

Negative experience: The worst Puregym I've been to in London. Small, crampt and a very weird layout. Tough to find space to do anything without being in someone else's way

Positive experience: Nice Gym with most of the Equipment I need there to get strong. It has great squat racks, different range of barbells, Hex Bar for Deadlifts, Farmers Walk & even Deadlift holds for grip strength.

Positive experience: Decent gym, has all the equipments necessary. The monthly fee is the biggest draw.

Negative experience: Horrible. Walked 3 miles and give up

Positive experience: Nice clean gym, weights weren't all over the place which was nice to see. Seems a little small I can imagine during peak hours it must be manic in there but I went late night and was nice relaxed atmosphere

Positive experience: To busy sometimes

Positive experience: The only thing I don't like is the quality of the running machines. Some need replacing. Pick your times well, to make good use of this gym as it can be very crowded with in house classes too.

Positive experience: Equipment is in pretty good condition for a PureGym, however, for the amount of members its too small, not enough free space to train in, not enough benches etc. spend more time waiting for space/equipment to come free

Negative experience: Can verify with many others here. The staff are rude and try to intimidate you. And their are a few "regulars" that run the gym. However it's 24 hrs so can't complain. The staff will also back down once they know you cannot be intimidated. They need more toilets out of hours as one member tried to abuse me when I was using the toilet. At the same time not the safest place to go.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for great gains! Would be cool if they had different treadmills tho, as I've also said previously

Fantastic experience: Very well equipped, and very clean

Fantastic experience: I felt clean and safe. Happy to be back at the gym and see new PT's!

Fantastic experience: Probably the best gym I have used in London. Big, plenty of equipement and most importantly never saw it packed. The price is also very good.

Positive experience: Great gym all around, good branding, could use a cable row.

Fantastic experience: Overrated

Positive experience: Very good gym, it's got lots of machines therefore there's virtually no waiting time even at peak times. Good choice of classes but if you are a fan of body pump just give up, classes are constantly fully booked (maybe add more classes?). Changing rooms and showers could do with more cleaning and a air freshener. Also machines could do with a thorough clean, cup holders and fan vents are often filthy.

Fantastic experience: Magnífico

Positive experience: Fairly decent gym with all the necessary equipment and facilities. It does get extremely crowded at peak times. My only issues are that I’ve never seen anyone use a gym towel and the smell - the ventilation must be poor because it literally smells like a mine workers armpit.

Negative experience: It’s a cheap gym that is not inclusive. The class times are being constantly changed or cancelled to suit a few members. Other areas of the gym have became a substitute for a youth club where all one can hear is foul language and loud rap music from mobile phones. It’s not a pleasant atmosphere. Pay a little extra to join a gym that caters for all members not just a certain demographic.

Fantastic experience: Bit dark but very big with a lot of equipment. Personal trainers are very nice and even if you don’t have booking but you ask them how to use some of equipment they will help you out.

Positive experience: Have been coming here for the last 5 months and am very happy with it. Good selection of equipment, classes and friendly staff. Wouldn't mind some hygienic wipes placed around to clean equipment and a stricter approach on people unnecessarily dropping weights and permanently leaving locks on lockers. Overall, great value. Highly recommend!

Positive experience: Great gym with multiple floors of equipment!

Fantastic experience: Really impressed with the refurbished gym, the floor space and equipment has been maximised to give people multiple spaces to workout.

Fantastic experience: Nice clean gym. The refit has added more equipment.

Negative experience: I walk past the gym on my way to work got to admit people coming out of there look fit and healthy

Fantastic experience: Great gym
