PureGym London Crouch End

Fantastic experience: Good Lovely gym

Negative experience: Had to cancel my membership. I don’t remember the last time I’ve managed to get a bench in this gym, must’ve been months. It’s way too busy for its size. Annoying having to have half finished workouts all the time. Apart from that, good equipment and clean.

Negative experience: Please , make the classes more exciting and bring back the weekend classes like circuit and bodytone. All the classes since the opening went down hill.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been regularly using this branch for ten months and don’t have a single complaint. Amazing value and a very positive gym atmosphere. I’m currently using Amma as my personal trainer and can’t recommend her highly enough. I’ve been working-out four times a week for seven years and yet am now aching in new places after just two sessions with her. Happy customer.

Fantastic experience: I just want to mention what a wonderful experience I had at Pure Gym. I am quite new to the gym world and I have to say the manager was a great help, he showed me all the machines and explained how to use them and told me all the classes that would be useful for my goals.

Negative experience: Sadly an item of clothing was stolen from here.

Negative experience: Men’s toilets both urinals leaking all over the floor, no soap by the sinks loads of lockers in the locker room had padlocks on but no one was at the gym apart from myself and a few more it looks like people are keeping kit overnight at the gym which I’m sure rules are you can’t

Positive experience: Been training here since it opened. I train early morning as it gets busy, but lots of machines and equipment so rarely have to wait for anything other than benches when gym is busy. Only negative is the smell from the drains in bathroom and showers, they need a deep clean.

Positive experience: Great value for money. Good selection of equipment. General cleaning could be better.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, always clean, good value and never too full in my experience. Weights classes with Kourosh or Issam are brilliant and easy to follow.

Fantastic experience: Great local gym, especially considering the price ️ it has free water fountain, hairdryers, sanitation wipes, vendine machine is stocked with protein stuff... Much more than I can expect for the price!

Fantastic experience: Very nice gym! Has a lot of equipment and friendly staff.

Negative experience: Avoid avoid avoid. Dont waste your moneu

Negative experience: Worst gym ever don’t come here

Fantastic experience: It's not the biggest, but it has its own charm. The studio is nice and atmospheric.

Negative experience: People walking directly through the gym floor upstairs is far from idea as I had to keep pausing to let people pass and almost punched a couple of them accidentally while doing lat raises on the cable machine. wouldn’t it be less dangerous to have a marked corridor round the outside of the training area? Also, why are the younger members allowed to hang their clothes up in the changing room like it’s a nursery school? Aren’t the lockers there to be used?

Positive experience: Not much space around to move how you want. Missing some bars and open space if you do calisthenics.

Fantastic experience: Good space, new equipment, clean toilets. Quite impressed by how they got their own Puregym logo printed on the weight plates. Clearly a good amount of investment has gone into the facility. Bravo!

Positive experience: The music is awful and always way too loud. I have top of the range noise cancelling headphones and I can still hear the music… the gym is also often quite crowded and feels like there isn’t enough equipment at busy hours. Aside from that, the gym is fairly modern and so is the equipment, which is what brought the score up.

Positive experience: It's fine. Often quite crowded. Plagued by loud, ill-mannered young men training in large groups, but they appear to be enjoying themselves

Positive experience: It's quite a small gym but has all the equipment that you may need. There is a dedicated area for weights in the basement, and their classes are frequent and variable.

Fantastic experience: So far so good!

Fantastic experience: Clean and friendly

Positive experience: Very good gym and economic

Negative experience: I’ve been at this PureGym for just over a year. There’s a huge array of equipment and the staff are polite. The place is kept very clean by staff and the changing rooms are well kept too. The workout area upstairs has a good range of extra equipment, including sleds and small bits like heal inclines, which are much appreciated. There aren’t enough carabiners and the triangle lat pull down handles could do with the rubber grips being replaced again (as they have fallen off from use) but generally the equipment is very good. Classes that take place on the upstairs area have deafeningly loud music so I do tend to avoid the area when they take place in the evening. Yoga sessions are fantastic and the instructor is excellent - ideally they should be labelled on the class list by the level or intensity, so I can make a more informed choice about attending. They are an additional fee, which is not ideal, as they were free at a previous branch I attended. As many have stated, the gym is incredibly busy. Many members are more than happy to share equipment, which alleviates this to a degree. However, the single biggest issue is that during every visit in recent months there has been disruptive behaviour by members. There are far, far too many who take up equipment and occasionally workout, but spend most of their time chatting with friends, and play fighting each other. Whilst doing this, they also stray too close to others who are working out (leaving me focusing less on my technique and more on not dropping a weight on one of them), and weights / equipment are left all over the place. Likewise, far too many times I’ve watched someone waiting patiently for equipment (which is apparently in use as possessions are on them) only for an individual to come over from the other side of the room and pick those possessions up 10 minutes later once they’re done chatting with friends. This has happened to me so many times and when challenged, I’ve received a shrug. Frustratingly, this poor behaviour consistently goes completely unchallenged by staff when present. As said, I’ve challenged this behaviour personally but it shouldn’t come to that. I completely understand that a gym isn’t a library and it is a core place for young people to exercise / socialise (as I have done since I was a teenager), but there are levels of acceptable behaviour and such behaviour shouldn’t infringe on the experience of others. As a result of this behaviour - which has been consistent during my time but has noticeably increased over the past 5 months - and the general level of busyness, I’ve moved to a different gym in the area. PureGym is a great place and great value for the area, but there needs to be a concerted effort by staff to show that such behaviour highlighted is not acceptable.

Negative experience: Well equipped gym but unfortunately far too busy. Being a cheap gym it attracts groups of youths who loiter and take up all the space. Even if you go late in the evening it’s still rammed.

Negative experience: I joined this gym when it first opened and I’ve never felt like I’ve had a good workout here. It’s way too busy at all times of the day. Most of the equipment is in use/weights are missing. The whole bottom floor is full of guys that take over the weights and benches. The equipment is dirty and the classes take up most of the room when they’re on. If there was an affordable gym nearby I would have switched a long time ago. Would not recommend

Fantastic experience: The best

Positive experience: Good value for money for the area. I download my playlist or there’s always music playing in the gym. It does get extremely busy, so check the app/Google maps on the quieter times if you’re not an avid fan of crowds.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Positive experience: Brilliant

Fantastic experience: Pure gym all very very good all the time and must go and work out again sooner rather than later . Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Convenience and well equipped for basic workouts

Negative experience: Really disappointed with my Pure Gym experience and wouldn't recommend it. I often have to wait to use equipment and the equipment itself is very basic. The studio is the only area I am at all positive about. It is also far harder to cancel or freeze membership than advertised.

Fantastic experience: It was fun to workout with a couple of friends on a guess pass. I had fun.

Positive experience: If you go during off peak hours you can do the workout you want, any other time be prepared to witness the worst gym etiquette you have ever seen. Are crouch enders not capable of working out without being on their phone every 2 minutes?

Negative experience: Awful went twice left half way threw my session and went across the road and joined virgin cant get on anything you spend half hour waiting for people to finish ,5 benches in free weights room proper ameteur gym , busy small sweat box

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing place ❤️❤️❤️

Positive experience: Wish there was a sauna

Fantastic experience: Has everything I need and never seems too crowded. The only down point is the young folk who spend hours in the gym but sit on various bits of kit for ages on end watching 'Cutest Kittens Doing The Cutest Things' or whatever on their smart phones with the result being their performing a set about every ten minutes.. I've seen a youth on a machine struggle through two sets while I have warmed up, performed three work sets of 12 reps each before then pyramiding up to my one rep max over three more sets.

Positive experience: Gym is decent, however go there @6pm-8pm and you will find classes running not only in the studio but also around the TRX bars, sleds area. Make your members perhaps aware that all they can use are the machines around peak timeslots.

Fantastic experience: I am a member of Pure Gym and also Virgin Active, so I can compare them both. For my type of gym training (free weights and various resistance machines) Pure Gym has a better variety and newer equipment compared to Virgin. I get a better workout at Pure Gym. However, the biggest let down of Pure Gym is the fact that there is no phone signal or wifi in the weights area, which means I can't stream music whilst working out (Spotify needs wifi). This is a big no-no for me. Working out with no music sucks and might be enough to send me back to Virgin... I'll keep both memberships open for now, time will tell. UPDATE: They now have Wifi so I have no issues with the gym, it's great! I still have both gym memberships (Virgin and Pure) so I can have variation, but I go to PureGym more often because of the 24/7 operating hours.

Fantastic experience: Clean friendly environment lovely gym

Fantastic experience: Brilliant value for money, good modern equipment unlike some other gyms, friendly staff, would recommend

Positive experience: The Gym itself is decent. Could do with some more benches downstairs for free weights. All staff are friendly and helpful but when I was at the start of my fitness journey I decided to book in a session with a PT. I opted for Ollie, A nice guy with lots of experience who seems strong and that's what I wanted as a PT. I booked in a phone call with him and we chatted and then booked in a free taster session. We had the session and it was good. Said he knew what we would do and we would make a plan together. I decided to book in 4 sessions for £40 each so forked out £160 via transfer with the promise of four sessions and a proper plan. After the first session I was content, second session not so much, I asked for my plan that is promised to you when signing up for PT sessions. I received a Txt Message telling me to not eat certain foods and stop drinking alcohol. This is not the kind of unprofessional plan that someone who is starting their fitness journey needs or wants. You need structure and planning if you want to hit your goals. After a fair few changes to the time of my sessions and a few session being cut short because he was running group classes in the gym I decided to look elsewhere for a proper personal trainer who actually cares about your fitness journey. I found an online PT who makes time for you weekly, knows about nutrition and the science behind weight loss and your journey to fitness rather than just telling you how to lift a weight in a gym. I ended up taking a loss on this. I had two sessions left and honestly I wouldn't waste my time with them and this PT. I still see him in the gym every day when I'm there but he literally ignores me like I'm not there and we have never met, it is very awkward when I see him he can't look me in the eye like a man. To conclude this gym review. - Gym is nice with decent new equipment. - Staff are nice people including the PT I mentioned above. - If you're looking to take this seriously, Don't waste your time with someone you haven't done your research on. DO YOUR RESEARCH TO FIND THE BEST PT FOR YOURSELF!!!

Positive experience: Great location and it suits all, I go there with my daughter

Positive experience: Free parking. Cleanish showers. Good range of equipment

Fantastic experience: Świetny trener personalny

Fantastic experience: Beautiful place to escape from London life

Positive experience: Amazing gym!

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym over ground and basement. Good quality equipment, clean showers, studio room, disabled lift if you need it. Good atmosphere, no posers.

Fantastic experience: Nice and convenient gym. Crowded 6-8pm, but open 24 hours so easy to find other time

Positive experience: Good locarion

Positive experience: Really enjoy the classes, though they can be a bit full and warm, the staff are really nice.

Fantastic experience: Brand new state-of-the-art equipment, spacious and well-maintained modern interiors, super friendly and helpful management, and an App packed with a plethora of useful information and training hacks, all very competitively priced. Couldn’t possibly ask for more. We have been waiting for a gym of this calibre to arrive.

Positive experience: Overall a pretty decent 24hr gym. Good selection of equipment, friendly staff, good ventilation & clean environment. As a previous member at Virgin Active just down the road, I definitely don't regret signing up here. Areas for improvement - having an active wi-fi as there is no signal in most parts of the gym, ensuring the yanga station isn't out of flavoured water & it would be nice to have a woodway treadmill for those who prefer it over conventional one.

Positive experience: I came here when it first opened, but didn’t end up reviewing it at the time. This gym isn’t one of the biggest pure gyms, but it’s well spaced out, so it doesn’t feel crowded, even at busy times. There’s plenty walk way and the changing room is also quite spacious. The only downside I would say is that it doesn’t have enough equipment to cope with busy times. I went in the evening (passed 8pm) and I found myself having to wait for a certain machine, and end up working out a completely different muscle group, just so that my workout don’t get ruined by cold muscles. But my visit was still a good one.

Fantastic experience: Brand new gym whit all what you need to trying. The only bad think is missing a parking but for residential person are perfect and is available all equipment you need

Negative experience: First gym I’ve been to with no wifi, very odd, wifi is a necessity for a gym, especially for listening to music etc.

Fantastic experience: Clean and spacious. Multiple areas for floor work and all the machines and free weights I ever use together with good amount and variety of cardio machines. Perfect 24 hour gym that works around my unorthodox work life times.

Negative experience: If you want to spend hours queuing for equipment then this os the place for you. And this is using it at offpeak times !! In life you get what you pay for.

Positive experience: New addition to the franchise - now in Crouch End. Everything nice&new/works well so far - makes up for a pleasant visit over-all. Mind you: to get the changing rooms you need to cross almost all of the "working" floor od the gym

Fantastic experience: Matt Van Mol is the best personal trainer, that is all!

Fantastic experience: Nice big gym. Went for a class here, yoga and really enjoyed it. Entry is by qr code, staff were friendly and membership is cheap

Fantastic experience: Muy buena cadena de gimnasios. Buen material, limpieza continua de la sala y las máquinas y un ambiente agradable y acogedor. Precios competitivos y en ocasiones muy buenas ofertas si estás de paso y quieres probar los gimnasios. De momento sin duda uno de mis preferidos Instagram: jesusdelcampodj Web: jesusdelcampo.con Facebook: jesusdelcampodj Youtube: jesusdelcampotv

Fantastic experience: Was in crouch end and needed a toilet so went in and the lady at the front was so nice. Hello and goodbye from staff is not normal in my local pure gym!

Fantastic experience: Love, love, love this gym!! I used to be a member of Virgin Active because I couldn't find an alternative gym in the area and then PureGym arrived. Not only is it half the price of my Virgin Active membership but the facilities, staff, equipment is 100 times better! I am so pleased that you've finally launched in the area and I can go to a proper gym after 2 years of 'slumming it'!!

Fantastic experience: Great staff and good people. Friendly and not intimidating good people.. apart from the weird dudes that vape and bench weights

Positive experience: I was looking forward to this gym opening as it’s closer to home. I’ve used the Finsbury Park and Holloway PureGyms over the years. All top notch new and clean equipment but feels very soulless inside. Bottom floor with free weights, cables and barbells feels tiny with no natural light. Very claustrophobic. Always full even the week after it opened, seemingly at any time of day, so already have to queue for most machines. No wifi or phone signal on bottom floor is also really annoying. Wifi would definitely make this a more solid 3*. I probably won’t keep my membership despite the locality (2 min walk for me). Would recommend elsewhere if you’re into free weights and don’t want to queue for equipment. If you’re into classes, machines and cardio, this gym is probably fine.

Negative experience: Nice gym, nice new equipment and studio area. Very local. Although despite promising free wifi when I bought my membership, this isn’t true, there is NO wifi. So have to work out with no music unfortunately if you don’t have data.

Positive experience: Air con not powerful enough. Clearly heading for long term overcrowding as it is so cheap compared with Virgin Actibe 150m away (a third of the price) and lots of people are going to swap as incomes are squeezes. Really is too small for the location.

Fantastic experience: Warm, informative and motivating staff. Every staff member has their own unique way of leading classes, and this really changes things up! Clean, well designed space. Excellent equipment. Just a really great place to get fit. I always look forward to visiting. The only thing I wish is that the music was turned right down to almost off during explanations at the beginning of the classes

Fantastic experience: Amazingly clean and well-lit gym which motivates you to work out. Equipment is all new and so in great condition. Unlike other puregym sites, this gym feels spacious and there’s never a long wait to use equipment. One downside is the cellular services block in the basement.

Positive experience: A great , affordable set up for whatever level of gym experience that you have with some great functional areas (my reason for going), the omitted star is because none of the bars have centre knurling and they aren't the safest to squat with.

Negative experience: TINY GYM & RUDE YOUNG STAFF! I have been a member of pure gym for many years, and been to the Holloway and Finsbury park gym. This is definitely the worst one. Only positive is the crouch end gym has some equipment that is not found in the other bigger gyms (Holloway & Finsbury park). What is worse, is the attitude of a young gym trainer who was then grinning in my direction after bluntly stating that the entire area was for his session. The manager was nice enough when mentioning her staffs' attitude, but excused it was its "his first training session" and "hes nervous". An rudeness is not a symptom of anxiety. Although she stated she would have a word, he appeared to be quite happy in their conversation. Clearly people skills werent part of the interview process.

Negative experience: I purchased the plus multi-gym package in order to use other Puregyms closer to my home during my breaks/holidays, as i am a teacher, i am currently a member at Cheshunt, Brookfield centre, as i work in Broxbourne, and now want to use Puregym London Crouch End, as i live in Haringey, however i was refused entry, and told to go to the website to update/change my package, which i tried to do on the members area but London Crouch End is not on the list of gyms I can transfer to, I continually send emails but get nothing but automated responses or nothing at all. So how do I resolve this issue? Not impressed and not happy with the customer relations service i am experiencing at the moment.......

Positive experience: A nice new branch with a very solid selection of equipment. Just two problems: 1) there is currently zero wifi coverage on the bottom floor, and 2) I could not see any safety bars for the squat racks upstairs or downstairs. If you don't have any, you REALLY need to make that an utmost priority please.

Fantastic experience: Had my induction, which lasted about an hour. It was brilliant wad told the best machines, for what I wanted to achieve, and how to use them. Very impressed

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym and lovely equipment Brand new ! Highly recommend

Negative experience: Signed up to join when it opens had first month payment plus joining fee taken. Now they are offering no joining fee which should have been offered to early members. Extremely disappointing!

Negative experience: Signed up to join when it opens but last week had joining fee + first months fee taken from my bank account despite the fact it doesn't open for another two months. No contact details at all on PureGyms website, no email, no phone. Poor.
