PureGym Walton-on-Thames

Very hot, no calf machine?Very small.... about the size of a sainsburys local.No free parking.£33 a month plus parking...... around £53 a month.Or David Lloyd for £70 a month! Easy choice.

I enjoy the gym, the layout is good and there is plenty of equipment to choose from. But the aircon is non-existent it’s like working out at the beach and the is only 1 drinking point to refill from sometimes which you have to queue. This is not the gyms fault but there is no gym etiquette, the amount of times someone has come up to me mid-set to ask how long I’m going to be or if they can jump in between my sets. ( I’ve never had this before PureGym) Equipment hogging as well in front of management, 3-4 guys standing around one machine talking and playing on their phones it’s becoming a joke. The changing room is always clean but I don’t use it no more, like the other reviews it’s full of topless boys taking pictures of each other. It’s a really uncomfortable experience so I avoid. I think management maybe should clamp down on what is a few group of 3-4 lads ruining a lot of other peoples experience. Oh and also stop people taking their shoes off to train in their socks and stinking the place up!

Ridiculous gym. Overpriced given the small space and limited machines available. Paid less for premium membership at TheGym and got more than i do at this puregym. The only scale available you have to pay for and paying for premium membership without even access to a body comp machine or scale is just pathetic. All they must have done with the upgrade is put some led lights in their studio which doesn’t even have floor reaching mirrors. Disappointed

I visited the gym recently. The new manager, Jo, is brilliant. She is always around in the gym and on hand if you’ve got a question. She’s friendly, approachable and always getting stuck in where she can. She is an asset to Walton.

1. It's tiny2. The aircon is severely lacklustre rendering this already overcrowded space an intolerable sweatbox3. The ceiling leaks4. Hand washing facilities in the men's toilets haven't been functional over my past several visits. There is no liquid soap and the hand dryer is not working. I use alcohol gel as a backup but I have yet to see anyone else do this. I suspect this is in breach of health and safety regulations. So much for being a safe space" that we hear about every 10 minutes on the tannoy.5. Gym etiquette or rather lack thereof is the worst I have ever witnessed. Continual hogging of equipment whilst gimpscrolling tiktok seems to the norm for a disappointing number of these gym "users".6. The staff are generally pleasant though

Pros.Good selection of equipment.Spacious stretching area.Cons.Rampant steroid use.Black mould in showers.Influencers" film themselves across the gym with no regard for other people privacy.Conclusion.Not newbie friendly. Good value for money for high street location. Avoid at peak times and do not shower on site."

Steve and Anais are amazing PTs… fully recommend speaking to either of them to help with improving your form and body transformation. Wednesday sweat class is awesome!

I honestly don't understand all the nagging and whining in the reviews section, grown up men complaining about not having soap in the bathroom..pathetic. Came here after 6 months at The Gym Group Sunbury followed by a short spell at Everyone Fitness. This one is slightly pricier than the others (£8-9) but provides some extra value. There is never broken kit laying around for ages, waiting to be repaired. The kit doesn't look like it belongs in Jane Fonda's old garage, quite decent and various machines and a reasonable amount of free weights. As long as you don't train chest on Monday, back on Tuesday and legs of Wednesday you'll be fine and won't have to wait long for others. The layout is quite smart and ergonomic despite the relatively small size of the venue. There's plenty of cardio machines if you're into that. Staff are very friendly and helpful and respond to requests timely. The atmosphere in the gym is quite intense and lively. The downsides are the lack of free parking (but it's available for £0.80-1.50 in the shopping center. The no grunts" sign on the wall could be irritating if you take your training seriously and might give some Planet Fitness vibes but if you don't bother reading it at all you'll be just fine. Also

Quite small and for the price compared to other puregyms you would expect some better looking equipment. Different size and stye benches makes it look like the equipment is secondhand from other gyms. No free parking .Apart from that it is clean and the staff are helpful and friendly.

I'm in my own little world here, surrounded by wonderful people, and I even feel I'm making progress lol. I recommend anyone and everyone to give it a go
