PureGym Cambridge Grafton Centre

This is unfortunately one those places where the younger clientele are the only downside. It is a shame, the place is otherwise clean and the staff are all very nice. It also has a great location. There is a lot of bro behaviour in the weights area with very young men being inconsiderate of person space, yelling around, and throwing weights/slamming them against things. Doing a bench press, don't worry, there will be a dude walking within inches of your bar/head during a press! As a consequence of the clientele, this gym is not inclusive for women, especially in the weights section. I am not even sure men would like this but I don't think that they would do this to a man. It is the kind of place you might want to avoid if you are a woman exercising alone. It is not a peaceful or enjoyable gym experience.

After going to this gym for over a year, my experience has been a mix of positives and negatives. The facility is spaciousness, conveniently located, has a good range of good-quality equipment, and is good value for the money. However, the persistently terrible state of the female toilets makes me want to find another gym. On several occasions, I have had to leave the gym to use the restroom in the nearby shopping centre, and then come back to finish my workout. I find this very inconvenient, but still preferable to using the toilets in the gym (I don't want to go into details, but they are often in dire need of cleaning). Again, the gym itself is good, with good space and equipment, but the constant poor state of the female toilets means that I can only rate it 2 or 3 out of 5. If this was wasn't an issue I would be happy to rate the gym 4 out of 5.

Does the job, good gym and decent equipment. Bathrooms are not always clean but can’t complain. Best thing about pure gym is their prices

I usually go to the leisure park one. But to my surprise, the grafton gym seems to be better. The machines are newer and more diverse, the locker rooms and showers are modern and well maintained, and it’s less crowded on Sunday mornings. The only catastrophe is the lack of the massage chair 😭. So please if you are reading this review make sure to add one.

I go to this one as well as the leisure centre one, and I really enjoy both!! I get nervous when working out, but the trainers are really nice in the classes and make you feel really at ease. I remember I was the only one to attend one of the classes, and the trainer still went through with the class. (Other places would of cancelled due to lack of attendance) But they still did the class! The equipment in the studio was a bit dogey one time I went, but it appears to have been fixed.
