PureGym London Swiss Cottage

Fantastic experience: Value for money! This is the best value for money gym in the area. Lot's of equipment and the venue is huge.

Positive experience: It's not cheap for no reason. Avoid going at rush hour since it's a nightmare, but otherwise you shouldn't have to queue for machines. The place isn't filthy but not pristine either. The stench on the downstairs area is sometimes unbearable though.

Fantastic experience: Clean, simple and efficient for a neighborhood gym. Staff are friendly. The app sometimes get confusing otherwise a very valid gym to get started on your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Good for calisthenics. Has height adjustable dip bars and very good pull-ups bars

Positive experience: Machines need fixing also not enough ropes keep struggling to find one. Leg press machine has been broken since I joined still not fixed. People take equipment from downstairs multi gym and you have to hunt around to find it.

Negative experience: Manager froze my membership while I was within the gym because I spilled some water and didn't hear him say to clean it up since I had headphones on. Left me trapped in the gym and unable to get out, without an explanation, instead of coming to find me. Staff are overall very unprofessional. Only person who deserves any credit at this gym is Gus, he's way too good for this place.

Negative experience: Gym full of rude kids they don’t train and they don’t let you train.. also stinky bathroom

Fantastic experience: Great gym! great team!

Negative experience: The latest management is absolutely terrible. I was a member for over a year and cancelled my membership recently- there are other gyms around the corner so it's not a smart move for PureGym to act so nonchalantly. The classes timetable is now uneven in terms of cardio vs weight bases classes, classes often get cancelled as management seems unable to retain staff. There used to be really great instructors and classes - there are a couple left but they are clearly unhappy. I somehow kept getting strikes and suspensions for classes I actually attended, and kept having to involve customer service to remove. I can't be bothered with this anymore.Hordes of kids/teens hog the machines and there is no staff overlooking this. Shame as the space is huge.

Positive experience: Tem o necessário ! Os planos de 3 dias ou 7 dias são consecutivos! Staffs muito amistosos

Fantastic experience: Swiss cottage Pure gym very nice, open great vibes, cycle class great but not many members make use of it.

Negative experience: Pay for a monthly membership just for a bunch of broccoli heads to stand around and have a yapping session and not put their weights back. What a joke

Fantastic experience: Great gym, lots of equipment, probably missing a few essential but nothing you can't really substitute with dumbbells or other machines. Lots of space compared to some other gyms.

Negative experience: First thing first I understand they agree everyone in the gym but age restrictions has to be, the other day it was a group of youngsters were 10-12 years old. Like is it even legal to have that young ages in the gym. They keep the exercises and more than work out they use the gym as a playground. Other things people work out without shoes that is definitely not good. This should be completely ban. The staff are friendly in Swiss Cottage gym but I believe they only look for their money and not really making safer environment for other people in the gym. Not recommended

Negative experience: Very bad gym experience and bad service

Negative experience: I was a member for just under a year and I didn’t really enjoy it. The changing rooms are a long way from the entrance. The women’s toilets were almost always out of order and dirty and in general the changing / showering facilities were not clean compared with other gyms I have been a member of. Not enough variety or number of classes for those who prefer classes to gym machines. Classes are not a big feature here and that is really what I joined for. Also in the spinning classes the music is so loud that you can’t hear the instructor, even though they are shouting. Which is stressful and unpleasant. In general not a positive experience.

Fantastic experience: A very good gym,There is a lot of activities you can do here while you execrise i recommend you go to this gym.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with all the equipment one needs for a hardcore training session in the vain of Batman. Also do day passes that work well for people who travel, and want to get some pumpy in

Fantastic experience: Daniel , the italian guy at the front desk , i think, is the manager who was very professional, friendly, very welcoming, and explained everything to me . The gym was clean , there was plenty of space to work out , plenty of classes to join , and a great atmosphere. Place was very clean and tidy, and Daniel was on top of that as I heard him talking to the guys while I was joining online inside, Deffo, I can recommend this place

Negative experience: I’m going to cancel this as my main gym as its more expensive than some of the central london ones without a clear reason. Busy and dirty like other people have said, toilets are constantly out of order and the changing rooms are far away from the entrance. Because of all the floors, I think one should be womens only and then it would have more appeal. No cleaning products so being your own wipes

Positive experience: Average gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Decent tbf for a puregym, hate commercial gyms in general but aslong as you're willing to never go at 5pm then crack on

Fantastic experience: I enjoy going to the gym especially during mid-morning as it quiet.

Negative experience: Always crowded, I stopped going because I spent half of my session waiting for others to finish Machines are constantly broken, people are always loud and filming themselves The studio doesn't have some equipments like stability balls and enough jumping boxes

Fantastic experience: The Gym is very clean with a very helpful team, there is a great atmosphere and great community, super fun challenges and events in and outside club, brand new facilities maintenance when issues arise.

Fantastic experience: Lovely experience at this gym for the first time today. The staff are fantastic and super friendly. The space is great! Really love the functional room upstairs! Perfect for some Hyrox training actually has the targets for wall balls which I had not seen in other Pure Gyms I visited.

Fantastic experience: Correen was a great PT and she helped me get confident to train in the gym :)

Fantastic experience: Best place to exercise

Positive experience: Not enough cleans spray at the gym.

Negative experience: There are no 2.5kg or 1.25 kg plates.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Negative experience: Way way too busy

Positive experience: There are little things about the facility that could use improvement--for instance the spray bottle isn't always refilled, and sometimes the machines aren't fixed right away, but considering the price and the quality of the instructors, it's hard to get as much "bang for your buck" than PureGym. The instructors at this location, Sheida and Amin make the included classes engaging and I really noticed a difference in how I felt after doing spin and pump with them. I feel lucky to have that quality of instruction for £30 a month.

Negative experience: Two stars because one of the personal trainers denied my access to accessible toilet because I am not disabled. There is no obligation specifically stated in the UK or in the gym (I couldn't find) that non-disabled people cannot use accessible toilet.

Negative experience: Crowded, Machines not distributed in a good way around the gym. Example: If you want to train legs you need to visit different floors. Only one loaded chest machine.

Fantastic experience: I was at this Pure branch for over 8 months. Would come early in the day and I always appreciated the space and variety of machines. The app was great and I loved the fact that this branch is 24/7. Only reason I’m leaving is because I’m moving to another part in the city

Negative experience: Should be rather called ….THE KIDS GYM!! So much potential ruined by hordes and hordes of kids and teenagers occupying all the machines without even using them. One pays the membership and 4 right behind enter without paying!! Simply because staff is never around to check. The same kids are smoking and vaping in the facilities The company should have a better way of controlling memberships since the frustration among people is palpable. Really considering to cancel my memberships as it appears things are deteriorating instead of improving. BETTER GET A GRIP ON YOUR JOB GUYS!!!

Negative experience: Staff are a bit rude, apart from the female manager she was nice. Such a lovely big space but it’s missing quite a lot of important equipment.

Negative experience: Ridiculously busy at peak times making it nigh on impossible to get on to equipment to complete a full workout if you're planning to use more than one machine or location Expect over 200 people plus their god damn tripods in the gym during busy hours

Positive experience: Good gym, the facilities are great but the classes often start late and sometimes they change the times without updating you

Negative experience: Main issues: 1. Extremely dirty 2. Toilets are constantly out of order 3. Staff are never there 4. Fire alarm went off & no staff - we had to evacuate ourselves 5. Machines are always broken for weeks at a time and no one fixes them EVERY SINGLE DAY I GO IN HERE THE WOMENS TOILETS ARE NOT IN USE - they then also lock the other toilet to make it look like they aren’t in use? I used the toilet in the main area and it’s piled up with rubbish pee all over the seat - NO ONE CLEANS THIS PLACE AT ALL. Staff just sit around and there seems to be no cleaners??? Everything is dirty. Machines are constantly broken and not fixed, the body mass scale has now not had the paper replaced for weeks so no one can use it. Now recently when I’m going there are no staff the sign is up at 4pm on a Sunday that no staff are there, the other day on new years ever at 5pm this sign was not up - but there was a fire alarm & NO STAFF WERE THERE WE EVACUATED OURSELVES. There was no sign no one was there they just had no staff there. GENUINELY GOING TO LEAVE AS THIS IS GETTING UNSAFE.

Negative experience: This gym looks great. It has plenty of space and equipment. But the smell of festering sweat almost burnt my nostrils, it was extremely overwhelming and overpowering. I couldn't even complete my workout and left in less than an hour. I'm now considering cancelling my membership.

Negative experience: This place is disgusting, crowded and so smelly! The machines stay broken for months! Toilets are always a mess and smell is so strong! The gym floors smell like poo as well. The cleaners use the floor sweep to “clean” the counter tops as well. This place is unbelievably dirty. And they keep taking away the plates so there’re not enough of them for people to use even outside of the peak times. The experience is extremely frustrating and infuriating.

Fantastic experience: Ходила в прошлом году, очень понравился. Чистенько, спокойно, всё необходимое есть и все тренажеры новые. Персонал очень хороший

Fantastic experience: Me and my friend were having so much fun an enjoying every moment of it

Negative experience: Very poor maintenance especially since the price is almost £50! Stinks of B/O the second you enter (before the coded doors at the front). The smell migrates throughout out the gym and you don't even want to know of the odors coming from the changing rooms/toilets, repugnant is an understatement!! The gym floor is like walking into a school playground full of groups of adolescents, only thing missing from this joke of a place is spray paint stand and a cocktail bar for the delinquents and those who think they're in Ibiza. Seriously get this sorted daylight robbery at the very least. Going into a filthy/smelly alleyway is the equivalent to this puregym branch, only difference is its free!! Don't bother joining, no staff ever on sight and if there is one or two they sit there chatting instead of fixing the broken machines which have been out of service since the summer.

Negative experience: No toilet paper toilet obviously not checked just signed off and the disabled toilets and shower room always seem to be locked and I am eligible to use them

Negative experience: Women's toilets at the Pure Gym in Swiss Cottage are always DISGUSTING! They are always dirty, smelly, and/or out of service. Honestly, the quality of the experience here has been a nightmare because of that.

Positive experience: Good gym has everything i need, and the staff keeps things tidy and clean

Positive experience: Not very clean and pretty much smelly most of the time.

Negative experience: 2 out of 4 of their stairmasters have been “out of order” for months! There are only 2 working stairmasters so you always have to wait in line to use them and it doesn’t seem any steps have been taken to fix the other two stair masters over the last few months. Cleaning supplies are also scarce and the gym could definitely benefit from additional cleanings, not very hygienic. Please fix those two stairmasters, we’ve been waiting for months!!

Positive experience: One of the nicest pure gyms I have been to. So much space, a lot of money n time has been spent on this gym.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym of the area, with expanding to 4 floors. Separate functional floor and a massive hall for digital classes and studio. Must visit

Positive experience: Huge and well-equipped. The main drawback is the hygiene. This gym frequently runs out of anti-bacterial spray and soap in the men's bathroom.

Fantastic experience: Nice spacious gym

Fantastic experience: lots of treadmills available to run on but sometimes it can be a little busy. all in all it's a nice place to work out

Fantastic experience: Fantastic value, excellent choice of machine and good availability, spacious and doesn't feel crowded. And always open!! It's brilliant.

Positive experience: Excellent gym, Great staff and nice equipment. Can be very busy at peak times other than that great gym

Negative experience: Disabled toilets are always either locked or have feces all over the floor. This place seems to rarely get cleaned. It's pretty small, always packed and can barely get to the weights. I hate it when PT's come up to me in the middle of a set. I don't want a PT!

Fantastic experience: Big space overall. Only 1 leg press tho is not enough. Big suggestion: move the bench press from under the lights!! It makes everyone blind

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area, great location, great gym space and friendly staff members always greeting you with a smile.

Negative experience: This is the most dirty place I have ever been, don’t understand how they can have a shower with no cleaners on a weekend at all?? They don’t follow any health and safety regulations and will be reported as this is not how gyms should be run in in London these days! Any public places like gyms must have a cleaner on board and premises must be cleaned few times a day! Especially in a place which runs 24/7, 7 days a week. I am disscussed by the smell and the dirt in womens changing room especially! The manager I would recommend to read the gym and health clubs dirty enviroment rights, health and safety regulations at first. How this gym can run under these circumstances?!

Fantastic experience: Great gym to do sport

Negative experience: Overcrowded and messy. Weights, dumbbells, and clamps are all over the place. There are only two flat benches for bench presses, so they are almost always occupied, and there are no safety bars on them. They should raise the price if they need to and increase staff to clean the place, put the weights in order, and warn people taking the spaces too long and add two more flat bench press benches.

Negative experience: Tell my y there is a homeless man sleeping in the entry inside the gym please I’m trying to find a phone number on the website no help this was around 2:30 in the morning Wednesday 12th July

Positive experience: Very good gym with multiple floors, the only issue is that it's too packed. They need to add more machines on the main floor

Negative experience: Too many people in the gym at any time

Negative experience: Horrible gym

Negative experience: Last month PureGym suspended my account for no reason, when I called their number they told me to email them, I had done so and they replied the next day telling me to email the gym manager, I sent him an email last month he still has not replied they took 37 pounds from my account recently without me even being allowed in the gym it is honesty horrible sitting and waiting to get an email back at the minimum staff here truly have little consideration for their clients, do not recommend joining.

Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly and helpful staff, quiet environment where you can focus, large space and plenty of equipment! The manager Daniel is always present and helpful. Amongst the trainers Simone, Augustus and Vivek are very friendly as well as Andy and Sheida.

Positive experience: Gym is pretty ok but there’s constantly some sort of mess and no one to clean it. Last week there was blood all over the disabled bathroom and I searched on each floor for staff and there was no one there. There’s no way to contact the gym so I reached out on Twitter but it’s a robot on the other end so no one responded properly. Today there is tissues and bottles all over the treadmills. I get it’s a budget gym but there should be a way to reach out to staff about problems if there isn’t going to be anyone in the building available. Additionally, the women’s bathrooms and showers always seem to be broken.

Fantastic experience: Good place with nice and friendly staff it is a pity the lack of culture of some of the customers, most of then leave weights where they want and drop them doing really annoying noises, the price is more than fair, I would add a wifi network just in case!

Positive experience: Is there any way of stopping people bringing tripods and filming? Or the amount of time people are hogging equipment scrolling on social media....way too many idiots tbh

Negative experience: Just too busy

Positive experience: No cleaning sprays anywhere around the floors, no staff circulating the floors, equipments not well adjusted, a lot to be done, please also put some signs for people to stop playing with their phones while on equipments , had to wait forever for several equipments while people where on their phones instead of working out. It’s a really good gym but still a lot to improve.

Fantastic experience: Don't visit during peak time, the place is packed, Very frriendy staff and very well equipped gym, still missing some machines

Fantastic experience: State of the Art. Brand new clean equipment so many different places..and different rooms

Negative experience: The whole place smells of sweat no solution for the ventilation problem

Fantastic experience: It’s a really nice gym where everyone is welcome! Very good classes and cool PTS who motivate you to push harder ! Just what we need

Negative experience: For a newly built gym the management should be ashamed of our poorly this gym is being run and maintained. The ladies' locker room stinks and toilets are always dirty. There is never toilet paper and you always have to ask to some of the rudest staff I have seen at pure gym. One day they overfload and the day after they are locked. Yesterday the room was locked altogether with no notice. I have travelled to get there to find out that the locker room was inaccessible and we should use the tiny lockers on the groundfloor. As the gym was massively overcrowded by teenages hoarding multiple machines and the lockers were all taken, me and 6 more people were forced to leave. I feel I should be refunded for my membership. Shame!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Can be a bit crowded in the evening, but that’s nothing to do with the gym itself. New equipment, 3 floors divided by zones… I mean, that’s what I expect from the gym. It doesn’t have fancy saunas or a swimming pool, but hey! I don’t think there is anything as good as this gym for £20

Fantastic experience: Goooood

Negative experience: EDITED 2024: Please, the adductor machine has been broken for over two months, and now the hip thrust machine as well. Stop moving the equipment around and fix it instead. 2023: It used to be great when I opened, but it keeps getting worse, in my opinion. I keep changing the time of my workout looking for a quiet time, but the gym is always busy (even at lunch time) and yet they are looking for more and more members. It looks like no one is looking after the equipment. People just leave the weights and the handles everywhere and sometimes is hard to find the right piece of equipment for the workout. I agree with other comments that I read: groups of teenagers are specially annoying.

Positive experience: There are no sanitizers and napkins in the appropriate places to wipe the equipment after other people use it. This is unpleasant and unhygienic, because not all visitors clean up after themselves. It would be great if staff paid attention to this.

Positive experience: A good spacious gym and clean too. The only problem is there are too many beautiful women there so if you want complete concentration you need to go when it's not busy otherwise they'll squat and RDL in front of you and I'm thinking "please please I don't need this distraction in my life now!" I think I might need to move gym as a result

Fantastic experience: Nice space for workout

Fantastic experience: Staff are great. Classes are great. Gym is great.

Fantastic experience: Very good gym. Many choices for exercise and professional staff is very very friendly and helpful. I can recommend this gym.

Positive experience: Not bad all in all, but there is no WiFi even though they have been saying for the past few months there will be...

Fantastic experience: I started at PureGym Swiss Cottage a few months ago after having not been to the gym for a long time. I started PT sessions with Correen Herbert, and she has been so amazing! I feel as though she really thoroughly understands what my needs are (she took the time to conduct a very thorough goal-setting and introductory session with me at the beginning, where we went through all the questions I had and what plan would work best for me), and tailors every session to my requirements and skills while still encouraging me to do better and push harder each lesson. I was nervous and out-of-practice at first, but I feel confident going into the gym and using the machines now - and as someone who totally isn't naturally sporty at all, this is a huge step for me. When I think I can't do something, Correen encourages me and makes me believe I can do it. I really feel like she is helping me achieve my goals quickly and in a sustainable and inspiring way! Thanks so much to her and to everyone else at PureGym Swiss Cottage

Fantastic experience: Massive gym one of the biggest pure gym in all London whit 4 floors and all what you need for keep your body healthy. Big studio, spin studio, digital studio, stretch area, functional area, cardio area, fw area. Just recently open few months ago whit a very good managers and personal trainers who can help you to keep your body healthy and stronger. Come to visit the gym for free!

Fantastic experience: Having struggled to find a gym that I liked in London I have finally found a place that I am comfortable training in. I really like this PureGym at Swiss Cottage and really look forward to my workouts there. I did a Learn to Lift class with the PT Andy Cummings and it was great, such good value that this is included in the membership price! I have recommended this gym to all of my friends and family. Lots of good space to train in - and it is always clean. A really nice, welcoming atmosphere :-) Well done PureGym!

Negative experience: Trying to get in touch with someone / anyone at this useless gym is impossible. Trying again once more, after that I'm goin to the gym a few doors up. Embarrassing.

Fantastic experience: Very spacious gym with plenty of rooms and equipment, good level of cleanliness and not too much noise. PT Correen (Kiki) is very helpful and provides well structured, personalised sessions that are great even for a newbie like me!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area. The gym is clean. Staff is amazing and always there to help. Classes are on point and the mood is vibrant!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym, it's nice and big with great trainers. As a lifter it has everything I need, thank you Mercedes for making me feel welcome

Fantastic experience: I recently visited London for work and I used the PureGym at Swiss Cottage as a one off. I love the PureGym back home in Newcastle but this Swiss Cottage branch is next level! Wow - what a huge gym - brand new equipment, all working and all clean. It was busy but not too busy. I did not know where anything was but the manager Daniel was really helpful and spent almost 15 minutes of his time to show me around and make sure I was comfortable. I really enjoyed my visit and will be back soon.

Fantastic experience: I used PureGym for the weekend while I was staying with a friend in London. It is a great gym, the staff were friendly and helpful and the changing rooms were clean and tidy. I would recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at PureGym Swiss Cottage since January this year. I love the place! I have worked in the fitness industry for over 10 years now so I know a good gym when I see one. The space is huge and the equipment is up to date and they have everything you need for a great work out. The staff are super friendly and helpful and I have enjoyed all of the classes I have taken. I would recommend this gym to anyone - especially at such a low price.
