PureGym Manchester Market Street

This gym has so much potential, but it’s completely let down by the way it’s run. Cleanliness: By far the biggest issue. The place is filthy, easily one of the dirtiest gyms I’ve ever used. I’ve seen everything from half eaten chicken pies and beer cans left in the showers to bloody socks, food wrappers, and general litter scattered around. The mirrors are streaked and stained, equipment is left everywhere, and in the months I’ve been a member I haven’t once seen a cleaner or staff member giving the place proper attention. Equipment: The machines and weights themselves are fine for the price (£17/month), and you can get a decent workout in if you’re patient. The real problem is organisation, nothing is put back in place, so half the session is wasted searching for dumbbells or cleaning things before use. Changing Rooms & Facilities: The changing rooms are genuinely disgusting. Toilets stink, showers are broken (most give barely a trickle, the few that work are scalding hot) and smell like urine. The new lockers already have broken locks and bent doors. Todays new addition was the huge hole in the men’s changing room wall. The hairdryers are so weak you’d be quicker letting your hair dry naturally, literally 2-3 business days to dry anything! Overall: It’s such a shame because the gym’s location and basic set-up could make it a brilliant space. Instead, it’s completely neglected and poorly managed. Unless cleanliness and maintenance improve dramatically, I can’t recommend it unless you're in and out to change at work/home.

The worst experience ever! At first 3 day pass should be for free via voucher, but somehow I was still charged. Second no information about that gym is closed! Not on website, not on the gym doe! Third where is the info about I need my own locker?!? FAQ has only that I can USE lockers and thats it! So I paid for 3 day pass and not once could use it! THANK YOU for nothing!
