Maggie Bazemore Such a great gym! I love that it’s all class based so you get a real sense of community and see a lot of the same faces. The trainers are wonderful and are really dedicated to making the environment fun and energetic while giving their expert advice on form and techniques. Friday morning tornado with Tom is my fav!

M C My 13 year old neurodiverse daughter has been training with Clint for the last 10 months. Clint is a real find. We had been looking for a personal trainer who could help my daughter build up core strength and stamina, improve posture and overall functional movement. Not easy to find, as most gyms out there seem to be focused on how much weight you can lift or building the "perfect beach body." And very few would be interested in working with a neurodiverse teen. Equally important, we needed someone who could also make my daughter feel comfortable and yet push her to achieve her goals. Clint ticks all the boxes. He has a warm, friendly manner that put my daughter at ease right away. At the same time, he is always super professional. Clint has come up with a bespoke programme for my daughter that he also varies to keep it fun and interesting and also quickly changes up, reading my daughters mental/emotional/ physical condition on the day. This is all highly bespoke. My daughter has worked with alot of occupational therapists to work on things like bilateral movement, core and coordination. We think Clint actually does this better! We are already seeing the results. For example, my daughter has always been a good swimmer. But her swim coach has noticed how visibly stronger she is in the water - e.g. her strokes are stronger and she is able to break the water more decisively to power through the water, she is overall faster and can easily lift herself out of the pool in the deep end. My daughter says she feels it too and it has helped her confidence. There are lots of gyms in this neighborhood, but if you truly want an individualised, thoughtful programme delivered by someone who cares, then go to Clint!

Christiaan Kamstra I’ve not been back to Pure Gym in almost 1 year due to my international travels, but will say it’s one of the worlds most convenient gyms in the world!! Easy access 24 hours and supper clean, staff is always friendly when ever I’ve come. If only pure gym would open more 24hr outlets in the Middle East as one location in Dubai is to enough to fight the Gymnation’s, fitness first and warehouse gym.

Aseem Rangnekar Maria is an exceptional PT. She possesses a mastery of the technical knowledge of all aspects of fitness, including cardio, endurance, strength training etc. She has combined that with a thorough understanding of my individual fitness goals and needs. She crafts very tailored workouts which invariably make me feel that I have stretched myself further. And last but not least, she has a very personable manner which makes the training session tough but enjoyable. I used to hate going to the gym. I now look forward to my PT sessions with Maria every week.

Yarpole Belfry Beyond terrible. Not fit to call itself a Virgin active. Grimy and disgusting. Hair everywhere. The cleaner was too busy having a sauna to do any real cleaning. The Jacuzzi had brown sediment in it. Its like a public baths from 1985. Its incredible anyone pays the fees to go here.

Ellen Humphries AMAZING studio - it’s like stepping into a gorgeous Riad in Marrakesh! The yoga and Pilates classes are amazing and it’s so lovely to also be able to do healing practices like red light therapy and the acupuncture sessions. Every element of the studio is designed beautifully which makes it feel extra cosy and inviting every time.
