I’ve been attending the GLC classes at PureGym Erith and cannot recommend them enough. Chukwuemeka Nsonwu and Enka Gill are both doing an excellent job their energy and coaching style make every session enjoyable and effective. If you’re looking for top-tier trainers who really know how to motivate a class, definitely check them out.
I joined PureGym in January and it’s honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I regularly attend spinning, core, pump, mind & HIIT classes, and every single session leaves me feeling stronger, more energised, and amazing afterwards.
The trainers are fantastic, but Asia truly stands out. She is an incredible coach — you can genuinely see that she gives 200% in every class. Her energy, drive, and dedication are so motivating, and she really pushes you to be your best while still making the sessions enjoyable.
I also love the Saturday classes — the coach who runs them is absolutely amazing too (I’m so sorry I can’t recall his name!), and he brings such a great vibe and energy to the sessions.
I absolutely love coming here and would highly recommend PureGym to anyone thinking about joining. You won’t regret it! 💪✨
A wonderful gym experience overall. Easy to access. Plenty of equipment. Great class offerings! And the cherry on top is that I was able to apply a sale deal to my existing membership (the sale happened a day after I signed up)! I really appreciate the company honouring this. Don't hesitate to sign up. You get more than a bang for your buck!!
This gym is great. It is spacious, lovely staff and very helpful, they do not bother you, but if you ask them for help they will help you. The gym very clean and amazing classes. It could do with a little bit more kit, but overall it is very good.
I met a PT named Joel, a really awesome trainer. He showed me around and also how to do workouts. He's really friendly and has a very professional manner of speaking, which makes him make perfect sense. I feel like if you were to listen to him, you would grow significantly in power and size.
I love PureGym and nearly go as far as saying it is life changing. Clean gym, knowledgeable staff, good selection of equipment, great value. I hired a PT a year ago and pointed me in the right direction and never looked back. What more can you ask for.
If I was able to give -5*, I would.
Firstly, I don’t believe any of this is the fault of the staff at PureGym Stockport South. I’m sure they do their best — but the real issue seems to be poor decisions from senior leadership and underinvestment in this site.
I joined at the end of November 2025 after moving to Stockport. The location is incredibly convenient (5 minutes from my home) and I was excited to join… but within the first week I knew it wasn’t going to be great.
The equipment is in an atrocious state. Much of it feels like it needs replacing, and some machines simply need basic maintenance (tightening, repairs, etc). It’s bad enough that it impacts tracking progression because resistance can vary day to day. That’s unacceptable.
The gym is also filthy. Machines are visibly dirty over multiple days, some equipment is rusty, and the mats look like they’ve never been properly cleaned or replaced. I’m not overly picky — but this is unhygienic to the point of feeling like a biohazard. I even saw someone in the changing rooms with what looked like ringworm.
The changing rooms and toilets are just as bad: rubbish left in lockers, powder everywhere, showers that stink and appear stained, broken locks, hair in sinks, and urine-covered toilet seats. I ended up wearing sliders just to avoid touching the floor.
It’s also unbearably busy most of the day unless you go extremely early. There’s a heavy focus on classes with music blasting at deafening volume, and because the studio isn’t properly separated, the sound travels across the whole gym.
Classes also take place in the functional area, which is disruptive because it’s where the only two power racks are. The classes are often listed as being in the studio, but they aren’t — and I’ve been told to leave the area even when it wasn’t advertised. I have a job and a routine, and I should be able to plan my training around accurate timetables.
Member behaviour is also poor. People refuse to let others work in on machines, hog equipment for long periods, and treat the kit badly. I’ve also had items go missing from lockers with no real help from staff.
On top of that, I had serious data protection concerns: my personal details were left visible in the office, and after submitting a feedback survey my name and email were shared to management without consent, who then contacted me directly. When I raised it with head office I was basically told it was my fault.
Finally, I was threatened by another member over a misunderstanding. Management initially took it seriously, but the fact it happened at all made me feel unsafe.
This gym needs serious improvement. I’ve now rejoined The Gym Group and the difference is night and day.
I attend Anton’s morning classes regularly and they are consistently excellent. He is always in great form, highly motivated and very creative with his sessions. No two classes feel the same. He makes training enjoyable while still pushing you to improve. I would highly recommend his classes to anyone.
Ashford Pure Gym is a fantastic gym - great team - manager Luke very good at keeping the place clean, organised and the instructors very pro active - good standard of classes - best pure gym i think ive used
AVOID!! AVOID!! AVOID!! I had a very disappointing and uncomfortable experience at PureGym Alton.
I added a friend to my membership and around 30 minutes into our workout, we were approached aggressively by someone who identified himself as the manager. Without any reasonable discussion, he accused me of conducting personal training, purely based on my appearance and physique. This accusation was completely unfounded.
His manner was extremely rude and confrontational. He stood far too close, puffing his chest out as if trying to provoke an argument, and raised his voice in front of other members. The situation felt intimidating and wholly unprofessional. I recorded the rude man who claimed to be the manger and the incident and I will be passing it to head office, despite there being no misconduct on our part.
At no point was the situation handled calmly, respectfully, or in a way you would expect from a manager representing a national gym brand. The entire interaction left both myself and my guest feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome it was his first time ever in a gym.
Based on this experience, I would strongly advise others to avoid this gym. There are far better alternatives locally, such as Everyone Active, where staff are genuinely friendly, respectful, and treat paying members properly.
