Pump Gyms Colchester

Packed almost all day, hope you like waiting around. Online portal is good for literally nothing except booking classes. Membership can only be cancelled via email, this is also with a minimum 5 day notice period that they will not tell you about. There is no room forgiveness if you do not abide by the 5 day warning. Cables and machines break regularly which is to be expected, however they can be left out of use for weeks at a time in my experience. The 2 stars are for the physiotherapy clinic that operates inside and for the quality of equipment available. Ignoring all the flaws the training experience cannot be understated.

This gym has such potential but it's awfully managed and set up. There are loads of machines, but they break so often and take a long time to fix. Need for better quality machines and more of them with the space that's there. The staff might as well not be there. They allow people to abuse the machines by throwing equipment around and ignore people moving the machines to their pleasure breaking THEM. They don't do anything about people leaving weights on machines, in fact I actually watched one of the PTs with a large group of people let them leave the weights all over the floor and on the machines and left with them. They let people sit around and chat on machines for half hour to an hour, what's the point. They need to add more machines and make the price higher and put a cap on the number of people allowed to subscribe as the numbers are ridiculous. I'm not usually one to complain but I've been a member since the gym opened and I hate to say it but there's so many rude members now, it amazes me how people will smash machines just to appease their ego, leave huge weights on equipment just to assume other members will remove the weights, take up machines and proceed to engage in an hour long conversation with another member before they even attempt another set it all gets a bit boring and tiresome tbh. It'd a GYM not a social club.... If people want to act like this then the pt's need to take some accountability and pride in their work place and start calling these people out.... temporary bans, warnings and active monitoring to stop these people needs to happen. If people want to behave like there's no consequence for being so arrogant then they need to accept theyll be finding another gym. I rarely see people putting weights they've used away now... WHY? Who do you think they are? How can you be that lazy? All this behaviour ruins the gym which would otherwise be a brilliant so please fix it other wise all the decent members will leave to find Gyms that are actually organised and managed well.

Not a bad gym kept nice and clean plus lots of equipment so never struggle to get on anything plus if the equipment breaks they are usually fixed quite quickly. Staff have always been friendly and give advice to when needed. Personally I don’t use the sauna but its a handy extra for some people , would prefer a steam room but can’t have it all for the monthly price.

Pump is amazing, always clean and tidy. Had my introduction with Mercedes today and she is so lovely she has gone into amazing detail, Mercedes has gone above and beyond and has even planned a weeks worth of work outs for me. It has certainly made me feel excited to go to the gym as I now have a structure and know what to do.

I often reminisce about this gym after relocating. Easily the best £20 monthly investment, and I'd gladly pay more for its amenities. They constantly updated equipment and fostered an environment conducive to reaching fitness milestones. Old warehouses make such a unique gym setting. I hope for a branch in East London soon!
