I have been at this gym for over a year now, on the positives the staff are good, price is great and parking is good. It does get busy at around 6.30 pm... I always ask to jump on with other people using the equipment, usually that is fine and works ok. They are definitely lacking in some equipment and some bits are in a weird place... why not move one ski machine upstairs for instance? Two main issues for me.... the equipment is never (that I can see) lubricated so isnt as free moving as it should be. The toilets are a joke, in the mens there is one sit down toilet that is disgusting and not fit for purpose and has been the same since I have been going. The showers are dirty most of the time and water is slow to drain so it just leaves a mess for the next person. The lockers are also too narrow to fit a gym bag in but I can live with that. Overall I would say Puregym is OK, I would happily pay double the price for a better gym with less people but I am governed by the location.. you get what you pay for. 24hrs access is also a good pull for me
This is the 3rd puregym i have been a member of, and i have to say the worst so far...thats not to say its awful - all puregyms are good value. However - the gym space is odd and badly laid out IMO and the balance of equipment is wrong. Too much cardio while you can't ever get on the upstairs weight equipment. I believe you need to cap the membership, up the price , or offer an offpeak student package (like colchester had) or look at what equipment is actually being used in the space. If you can't ever get on what you want to use then its pointless and frustrating.
9/10 Change room smells so bad and there is no enough ventilation in it. Eventhough it is a busy gym, equipments are in good condition overall.
this chelmsford gym is so poor, the only thing going for it is parking is good, hardly any weights equipment, you can't workout properly as equipment always busy, the place is full of little sarms goblins asking how many more sets, "the gym" over the road is far superior just lacks parking
