PureGym Colchester Retail Park

Unfortunately the gym has not met even my most basic expectations. There is only ONE flat bench press rack. This is just unacceptable. The gym was basically empty when I attended yet I had to wait for 20 minutes to start my workout. The gym floor, especially upstairs, was very dirty and untidy. There was no sanitiser in sight, and I saw teenagers sneezing on machine handles, whilst complaining about how ill they were. The bar stoppers supplied don’t grip the bar so are completely useless. The men’s changing room absolutely stink - there’s a clear ventilation issue that needs to be addressed. The variety and placement of equipment was just odd and nonsensical. I wanted to leave the place the second I stepped inside. It’s literally the worst gym I have ever seen.
