PureGym West Drayton - (Near Hillingdon, UK)

3 /5 Dell Goodman: Nice location, but sadly I find the site cramped with Holiday Inn vibes. Im a regular at the Gym Groups gyms, Uxbridge, kingston etc. For the same cost I found I had more space, less worry of queues for benches or cable machines at the Gym Group. That Ive only attended one entry at Pure Gym West Drayton before asking for a refund. This was the same with the Kingston pure gym. The worry of peak time will make the gym a frustrating workout. Pros; nice new gym with new gear, right off the high street. Cons; not enough of the same workout stations. Benches, machines etc. Changing rooms are cramped woth a handful of lockers. Mens changing rooms have 1 toilet, 2 shower units. Ive gone back to my old gym, to remove thar cramped feeling. Also, this was £15/M for one location, while currently i get 5 locations at £21/M with the other company.

3 /5 Laura: I got a day pass just to see if it was worth me changing gyms. I really like the fact that it has its own free car park, it was clean and the equipment was all in good condition (as you would expect with a new premises). Unfortunately, despite attending the gym just before 7:00 a.m. on a Tuesday, it was very packed. There isnt much space to swing a cat, let alone skip. The gym also does not have key equipment such as an abdominal, hack squat or standing calf raise machine. There is also no punching bag. They seem to have a 3rd floor that is not in use? Maybe if the gym was extended upwards to include more equipment and more space for mat workouts, boxing etc. I would consider switching over. Otherwise, Ill just stick where I am.

1 /5 Baljit Singh: Looked packed when I went to assess. If you really want to train seriously then go to Ultraflex gym 5 mins away. Has all the latest equipment and doesnt ever feel to busy due to the size. Honestly you wont regret it!

3 /5 brian siwela: Easy to use equipment. Accessible. Members parking is a bonus. Its great that access is 24 hr - literally. Anti-bacterial wipes are not as visible, not sure if they are supplied. Some stations with wipes around the gym would be extremely helpful - i do wonder how clean the equipment is. Overall reasonable value for money. If sanitation stations were added , id definitely recommend.

3 /5 L Amber: It’s a very expensive gym vs. Others in the area for what it is offering. It’s quite small and can be full fast. It’s brand new opening in November so all equipment is fresh and new. Equipment is limited and split across 2 floors - you have to be imaginative with your workout use free weights and create your own set ups. - They have a hip thrust bench on the ground floor but only 15kg barbell and no barbell pad but on 1st floor there is no set up but 20kg bars and a barbell pad for example, layout isn’t logical you find yourself going up and downstairs to order/ structure your workout. Parking is limited and ANPR is being installed they recommend to park at Tesco. Other users seem to be inexperienced locals - not many people seem to be locked in or know what they’re doing so don’t expect a good spot. Often people in groups, many also tailgate walking in (not having their own membership). Classes on offer daily but no spin room. Missing machines such as seated leg curl, T bar row, high row, plate loaded shoulder press, limited leg/ hack squats. No hygiene wipe down equipment available. Functional equipment for hydrox etc but there’s not really space to utilise it. DB up to 50KG, mirror placement could be improved - no mirror for form check on the bench or squat racks or deadlift area. Pre made straight barbells but no EZ barbells. Many empty water bottles laying about. Staff seem friendly. Cardio machines don’t seem to link to Apple Watch fitness.
