PureGym Manchester Cheetham Hill

Fantastic experience: Good environment

Fantastic experience: Great place to shred some fat.

Positive experience: Stinks

Fantastic experience: Great gym!!

Negative experience: No access for wc . Empty and no assistance to gain access, my fault as forgot my pin but didn't see stay to enable assistance.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, clean, well equipped, friendly staff

Positive experience: Gym location is very convenient, having a lot of space and equipment and is well designed. Classes are brilliant and staff is amazing! However , for a 2 years old gym, the number of equipment which is out of order or not working properly is way too high, would those cross trainers be ever fixed permanently? Also clients should be told to put weights away as you can trip over everything what is on the floor , its like a maize to walk and its really not staff job to clean after all “those strong clients” who are too lazy to put their weights back. Also it’s way too hot- unsure if that’s heating or no AC but it’s difficult to workout in such conditions. The classes cancellation policy is a joke. Im not putting my alarm on for 6am to cancel my class at 10am, also it does not need space freeing if there are 2 people booked in anyway. I always try to cancel but 4 hrs is not always possible, restrict me as much as you want, its just stupid policy.

Positive experience: Good to able to park outside but the showers were a disgrace. Hairs and what not everywhere. I guess the staff are lazy but this will be a reflection of the people of Cheetaham Hill area. I'll just go to spinning fields in future

Fantastic experience: This place looks sooooo professional, security in place, spick and span. I felt sad that my son was not allowed to register because he is not 16 yet. I wish they have a young teens section.

Positive experience: For a gym that’s only a few years old it’s turned pretty crap pretty quickly. Firstly my biggest gripe why is the gym always BOILING - what’s the point in having air con if it’s never on? It’s actually uncomfortable to train in! It could be -15 outside and the gym feels like a sauna and considering it’s always fairly busy it’s not nice to train in. Plus there’s never any staff to tell about it. The studio is pretty pointless considering you aren’t allowed dumbbells in there due to it “ not having an enforced floor” compared to Bury new road pure gym where you can take dumbbells in and they have them situated near the studio. Not everyone wants to there workouts in the main section with everyone and want abit of space the studio offers. Most of the cross trainers are always broke same with the treadmills! Could do with more selection of dumbbells at a lower weight. The selection and variety of free weights equipment and racks is quite good in all fairness - much better than bury new road. The machines are a lot newer too. I think more checks need to be done with the clientele, a lot of youths just messing around- at one point they was using all the mats in the studio to make a make shift ufc ring which I appreciate the innovation but it makes it hard for other people to use it. Gym probably needs a few more cleaners and members off staff - although it’s not filthy a lot of people seem to like to leave water bottles and all sorts lying around - changing rooms could do with some more TLC too.

Fantastic experience: Nice clean space.

Fantastic experience: Location of the pure gym is very convenient, just off Bury New Road. Parking is quite large and available. Premises of the Pure gym are clean with moderate ventilation.Available lockers ,changing room and toilet. All equipment mostly is operational. The guy can be quite busy in the evening. Sometimes hand towels run short, but in general nothing to complain reallly.

Negative experience: Sorry, but half of your cardio machines have been out of order for a week now, how absolutely ridiculous. Any plans on getting them fixed anytime soon?

Fantastic experience: Everything is good

Fantastic experience: Very nice & big PureGym. I like it

Negative experience: Really bad clientele at this site. Gangs of young men. Regularly there is broken equipment. On Monday night there were 3 cross trainer machines all with the left foot peddle smashed. Obviously deliberate vandalism. Other equipment out of order too. Weight machines jutter due to sted heads overloading the machines with weights stretch the machines belt. The gym is unclean with empty bottles left all over. I’ve never seen any clean the equipment after they use it. Equipment smells and often has sweat residue on it. Only 1 scruffy cleaning station at the top end. No cleaning station near the middle section machines. No visible staff presence. Clearly needs a strong staff presence to patrol the gym stopping vandalism and enforce cleaning. Hand soap dispenser in men’s toilets is badly installed so you can’t get your hand under it. Only 1 so no back up if it’s out of soap. I don’t blame the cleaners or the staff. The site is obviously understaffed. It’s the management who need to ensure a better staff presence and tackle the bad clientele who are vandalising and who don’t clean after themselves. Such a shame too as the design of gym is really nice and it has a lot of potential. It needs more cleaning stations. A staff/security to start identifying and banning the vandals, and to enforce wiping down machines by other clients. PureGym need to set appropriate standards of acceptable gym use with the clients because it’s clearly not at the moment.

Positive experience: Gym is tidy and perfect, app helped a lot. I would have rated 5 but I didn’t go to the gym regularly.

Fantastic experience: Did joined that gym last year , from day one i love it . Not to busy when im in and always clean. Cycle classes with James are great , staff always there to help. Good new equipment with loads of room to workout. Highly recommend place, you can relax easily.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym and staff, love doing James spin classes and Colleen’s Pilates, stretch and run classes! Very attentive PTs, always happy to answer any training questions and help you get the most out of your gym visit

Fantastic experience: James does the best spin classes his playlists make the time (and burn) disappear

Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service always cleaning gym great PT..Colleen.. great PT..

Fantastic experience: Spin with James, pushed to my limits but loving it, feel so much fitter, can't recommend enough Also, Pilates, Stretch, Spin and Run Club with Colleen which is brilliant fun and somewhat testing where my balance is concerned

Fantastic experience: Trainer is lovely, and good workout!

Fantastic experience: Excellent classes, Collen is always full of energy, showing different variation of each exercise so you can use the correct one for your fitness level. Always happy to help with any questions you may have.

Negative experience: This website is very misleading! The hours were very inaccurate on this day. It says Christmas may effect these hours but didn’t specify so I walked an hour to find a closed gym…

Negative experience: Very unhelpful, I have been trying for 2 days with them to change my membership to a chipper one, but with no answer from them. Once you have your membership with them you will not be able to change it to the chipper one, but you can change it to more expansive one, without any problem. Very weird.

Fantastic experience: Brand new refurb. Looks very premium now

Negative experience: I started this gym after being at the Gym Portland street for years. The vibe in this gym is not okay, I have never experienced such awful people in a gym after an incident in here, I tried to find staff to help me as I felt extremely unsafe due to what had just occurred. There were no staff I couldn’t find anyone (this was in the day time) I later managed to speak to someone but it was too late. The staff member was very kind to me which I appreciate but lack of presence of staff made me panic. I will never come back to this gym… uninspiring, lack of equipment, people in this area are utterly insane. Will never step foot in a pure gym ever again. The overall atmosphere is not good to feel welcomed and certainly not a safe environment for females especially, please be aware when being here.

Positive experience: Weights left out every where I. Gym at 9pm wed and monday nite. No warm Gre eating for on duty pt. Good range of weight. Drinks machine over charges u at £2 for bottle water or lucuzade .

Positive experience: Been coming to this gym for about a month after moving house, my former being The Gym Group on Portland Street. The facilities are very good and expansive, and the women’s changing rooms are always clean. They even have hairdryers which is a lovely touch. However the showers are always cold so I typically shower at home after my workout. The staff don’t talk much to clients but I honestly prefer to keep to myself when working out so I don’t mind at all. However, the staff don’t control or enforce the gym’s rules ie the clients leave free weights all over the place. I’ve also noticed this gym can have a lot of “unwelcoming” clients, as a younger woman I’ve felt a bit more unsafe here than any of my former gyms. I’ve had groups of older men stare at me and glare at me for the entire duration of my workout, it’s very uncomfortable. I’m pleased to say there has been no real incidents, but if you’re a woman it’s something to be aware of. Please note that I just show up dressed in typical gym wear and get on with it, I don’t invite attention, if anything I avoid it. However I have interacted with many lovely and friendly people also, they just seem a bit rarer here than at my former gyms. Overall, I will keep going, the price isn’t bad at all for how much there is, I’d just avoid peak times if I were you. The location is a big plus too with it being right next to Manchester Fort Shopping Centre.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Not too busy when I visit. The showers are a little cold lately and don't stay on very long.

Positive experience: This PureGym is larger than my local PureGym back in London however plates and dumbbells are everywhere and not in order. I found that I had to constantly walk around the gym to find what I needed because equipment wasn’t where they should be! Just as my local PureGym an example should be set by staff or staff tell those training to make sure they tidy up after themselves! I don’t expect to be unracking or tidying up after people as part of my training session!

Fantastic experience: I think it's really good to go every other day.

Fantastic experience: The showers had no hot water. But everything else was excellent! Thanks!

Negative experience: PURE GYM BOYCOTTS IM CANCELLING ALL MUSLIMS CANCEL NOW

Negative experience: Very cheeky business make sure to read the fine print in all transactions as can only change gym/alter payments once a month and then are stuck with it till the next month.

Negative experience: First time at this pure gym. It was packed, lots of equipment great space for free weights but… it was so busy that the free weights and plates were left everywhere. There was a cleaning station but no spray so nobody was wiping down the machines after Great selection of machines though. Might try this gym again at a more quiet time but will stick to my normal pure gym in the early evening.

Negative experience: Poor equipment . Gym always dirty. And every day there’s something broken like machine cardio

Positive experience: Good gym...clean equipment

Positive experience: State-of-the-art facilities and adequate security are worthy of mention when it comes to PureGym @ Cheetham Hill, Manchester.

Positive experience: It is very good pure Gym

Positive experience: Good but doesn't have aircon

Positive experience: Been at the gym since it opened last summer, my only frustration is the free weights scattered everywhere in the morning and random bits of equipment scattered around, besides that it's generally a good gym .

Fantastic experience: New and modern gym with great areas for all different types of exercise, usually a bit messy but you can tell that the staff that works there do their best and the mess is more for those who go there.

Positive experience: Lots of equipment and machines but very messy and sometimes broken equipment.

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean new gym, i think best time to visit in the morning as in the evening time it is so crowded . They have plenty of machines. Staff and gym members are friendly and they are happy to share machines with you while using them. Parking is free for 4 hrs if you put your numberplate in screen. I really hope they keep the standard same high as it is a busy gym .

Fantastic experience: Fabulous

Positive experience: Great selection of equipment and very spacious. However, it's always such a mess. The clients really leave it in a tip which is a shame as it could be a really nice gym.

Negative experience: The locker room has poor sanitation and the gym has no network

Negative experience: The whole floor literally shakes when someone puts the weights down (basically every 2 seconds). It’s overcrowded and it stinks there. Even though it’s a relatively new gym it feels dirty already especially in the toilets. Monthly fee increased without any notice whatsoever. Not gonna miss this gym at all.

Fantastic experience: Pure service now great

Positive experience: Better than bury new rd, but still meh.

Positive experience: Been going to this gym since they opened in Summer its nice inside and they are getting more equipment which is good. However, the 3 stars is for the lack of staff? Since I have been going I have seen a total of 2 staff members, so when you need them they are no where to be found in the gym? Also you are not strict enough about enforcing member guidelines such as clearing the weights after use and people constantly slamming plates on the floor. There has also been a increase in young teenage kids, I don't have a problem with them using the facility, but they are treating it like a place to come and socialise, using equipment as chairs and its a bit intimidating. Also final point, the ladies showers are always smelling? Not sure if this is a drain issue or cleaning? Considering finding another gym if these issues don't get resolved, which is a shame as this gym is so close to my house!

Positive experience: Recently opened and a great addition to the locations available in Manchester. Lots of cardio machines and the spin cycle room looks awesome. Just make sure you enter your reg for the car park so you get four hours of free parking. Had a chance to use more machines in the last few weeks and it's better than my old place in Bury. Working in Manchester makes this place an easy stopover before going into the office. Update: First day back in a while and it's disappointing to see so many machines out of order. One of the working cross trainers had a dodgy footing. Guess now it's fully unmanned nobody checks the machines properly .

Negative experience: Lots of treadmills in front view, But No crosstrainers in over there, They should leave some crosstrainers instead of all treadmills.

Fantastic experience: Ideal gym

Negative experience: Good location with free parking, decent gym layout and plenty of equipment and has much potential. However the gym is let down by the poor manners and attitude of some staff/personal trainers and the disruption that classes cause to other members as they don’t always utilise other workout spaces for them ie the studio. Equipment is left sweaty after classes and when some staff put weights back they just slam them into racks or not bother to put them away. This sets a bad example for many members who just leave weights laying around specially during busy times. There is a failure to enforce acceptable standards of customer service and hygiene amongst some staff and needs a well thought out plan for classes to minimise disruption. Let me remind you that members pay to use equipment at your gym and must never be denied to do so.

Positive experience: Good location and nicely laid out. The men's showers and changing rooms were quite dirty and smelly, which is a real shame.

Positive experience: Can get busy at times, lots of open space but not po many cardio machines so get in early if your doing cardio.

Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean everything is on one floor

Negative experience: Gym is so messy

Positive experience: It's a nice Gym but equipment is not a lot, but then again this is not a huge gym. What helps is the close proximity to the city, so if you cannot go there then you can join here. Membership prices can be better though

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Good vibes. Always clean gym. Great value. Big free weights / squat rack zone. Useful app to see how busy gym is before going.

Positive experience: Good place to work out, clean, spacious and friendly visitors. I have brought to attention of the staff couple of times there that there is no hand wash soap available in gents wash and toilet area. It's been missing for some days now. How difficult is it to buy hand wash from b&m next door and place bottles in the toilets. This is basic requirement for hygiene purposes. I am sure management will take notice. There should be at least twice daily check of such necessities.

Positive experience: Good gym but overcrowded with the wrong type of people

Fantastic experience: I have been going from the opening day till now really happy with the place. It’s very spacious and bicycle and cardio are in private areas I really really like that I would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: New , seems good

Positive experience: It's nice which is nice but is busy and doesn't have certain machines found in other gyms.

Positive experience: Nice gym but still need some equipments

Negative experience: Entering door is broken nearly a week now dont think so they want to repair it evening time long ques at 1 door outsiders want to cm in insider's wants to go out frm same door atleast if u don't want to fix active passwords on disabled one so peoples dont wait long to get in/ out

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Nice place to work out Clean and hygienic place to train

Positive experience: Hi is it free to park car for gym in parking it been only 2 days going to gym and realised that Parking is chargeable I afraid i will be getting 200 fine

Fantastic experience: Nice gym

Positive experience: Cool place Well managed

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym in well lit shopping area, across the road from my hse.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant loads of equipment and clean

Negative experience: There's a lot of kits are missing in PureGym,for example the Dip machine, secondly they are set the AC on very cold degree, which is not good, because most of people they are going to sweat during workout that will cause a kind of illness and cold.

Negative experience: Less Machines No Leg Curl Machines Only 1 door works other one broken since gym opened. Need More Machines So Many Empty Spaces. And to vibrator machines

Fantastic experience: Very clean and open, large variety of equipment, modern-looking interior.

Negative experience: I tried to buy a bottle from a vending machine and the bottle got stuck inside, what a scam. I tried to approach a manager lady but she kept walking away it was so weird. I have attached evidence of the scam in this PureGym. I would avoid buying stuff from PureGym, there is Lidl shop beside you can buy from there for cheaper price anyway. *update: they still put the bottles sideways to scam more people. You can go check yourself. I won’t take this review down until I am refunded because I am already paying for the membership not using it for free.

Negative experience: Poor. Brand new gym, lovely and clean and new but such a weird selection of equipment? 8 racks but no leg curl machine, or free weight leg press. Seems someone who doesn’t use the gym ordered the equipment, lots of wasted space. Will go back to my usual Pure with more kit.

Negative experience: It's my second time going to this gym and my pin is still not working wasted my time and plus there was no staff and they ain't replying my emails

Fantastic experience: Second trip in two days. Lovely having fresh new machines. Staff are very helpful and polite. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great

Negative experience: Giving out no information and just copy pasting a generic reply when people ask questions. Won’t be going if this is their level of customer service

Fantastic experience: Had great experience hope to be great in future as well is it 24 hrs ?

Fantastic experience: Opening date please

Fantastic experience: Opening Date please

Fantastic experience: OMG! This is too good to be true! I love pure gym and already use the one on bury new rd. But to have a Pure gym opening nearer to my home, its AWESOME! Thanks Pure Gym. CONGRATS AND BEST WISHES WITH THE NEW OPENING XXX

Positive experience: The gym is brilliant, however, they need to be more strict with people. A lot of the people there use the dumbbells and just throw them on the floor when they finish, making workout more difficult and time-consuming for other users. At least put a sign telling people not to do that. Also, these dumbbells can be hazardous.

Negative experience: I don't understand one thing; I paid in advance two months before for the gym, hoping it would open within a week. I tried to reach them for refunds, but they don't have any calling system. Why would you start taking advance membership fees when you can't ensure the opening date and time.
