PureGym London Holloway Road - (Near , UK)

2 /5 Caine Chan: Your average commercial gym- decent equipment (they recently brought in some new ones), generally clean. But as a former personal trainer, I’m in awe of how terrible the personal training I have witnessed were. Many times I’ve seen personal trainers not paying attention to their clients, some of the techniques had me genuinely worried of the clients’ wellbeing (basic stuff like bracing core, keeping back straight, proper breathing, root feet to the ground etc). I’ve specifically observed one of the trainers a few times, his name is Cem, for often throwing weights to the ground, many times empty barbells! This is about respect. His doing that effectively demonstrates to his clients that it’s okay for them to do that too.

1 /5 Rob Antonio: Been there twice recently over a few weeks and both times the exercise balls to stretch were all flat, I’m suprised there is not more complaints about it. I think they have 6 balls or more all flat it’s not hard to pump them up there is no point having new equipment in if the basic stuff isn’t looked after… I have now attended again since my last review and still the Swiss balls ain’t pumped up only one which isn’t my size please please can you pump them up or will I need to bring my own Swiss ball

5 /5 Yajaira Timaure: The personal trainers are fantastic, and everyone at the gym is really friendly. I’ve even made a few friendships with other members. I was training with Cem, a Turkish personal trainer, and I was so impressed with the progress I made, my fitness improved, my tummy became flatter, and I even started to see some definition lines coming through! Unfortunately, I had to stop the PT sessions due to my university commitments, but I would seriously recommend having one.

1 /5 Leona Tomeckova: The hygiene of this gym goes down. The ladies bathrooms are always dirty with 2 weeks old poo marks on a floor (never cleaned) and dead flies on a sink. The gym has got ok equipments, but it’s not clean.

3 /5 ABC123: Overall decent but people aren’t great at putting weights back in the right place. Also one workout group/trainer on Monday evening seems to think the gym is a personal club with music that drowns out even noise cancelling headphones at max volume
