PureGym Bicester - Opening Soon: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Great gym, lots to do and well run.
Positive experience: So far so good. Since the opening of the gym I've been satisfied with all equipment provided. Would be nice to have a seated leg curl machine and a plate loaded seated calf raise but you can't have 'em all.. Broken machines; One that I know of was the cable seated row which I think was down for around 3 weeks, possibly longer, i can't remember. But in saying that, it was fixed faster than some other gym chains I have used before so that's a plus for me, knowing that things get fixed as promptly as possible! When considering value for money, they're always a strong choice for anyone who wants to improve their mental and physical health.
Positive experience: A very well equipped gym which has been known to handle over 120 people. The changing room is small but adequate. There are vending machines which supply energy snacks and drinks as well as a few items like headphones and proprietary items. Parking is plentiful and there is wheelchair access as well as a lift. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the lack of a dedicated person to be in the gym to give information and assistance. It is annoying when you cannot actually speak to someone when you have account issues. Having said that there are about a dozen personal trainers that specialise in different disciplines, that are there a lot of the time. They cannot however access your account to sort out problems. All in all I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to beginners and pro's alike. The app has a load of great info and workouts for all disciplines.
Fantastic experience: Lots of space, lots of equipment. Gets a bit warm sometimes so if I had to make one change I'd say turn the aircon up (temperature down) a bit more.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ja K.M
Positive experience: Always clean, doesn't smell and a great assortments of machines and free weights. It will get a 5 star when I get at least one employee to say hello when I walk in. Their station desk is right by the door, so walk by them to get to the workout areas. Nothing from any of them. Better customer service training wouldn't hurt. Update: left a late workout tonight. Lady rep at the front desk right in front of the entrance/exit. I passed within a meter of her....silence. You could hear the crickets chirp. Seriously? You'ld think one of their primary duties would be to greet and send off their clientele when they are standing right in front of the entrance. Guess that isn't in the employee training.
Fantastic experience: Perfect place for workout
Fantastic experience: First visit tonight. Busy, great atmosphere, well set out. Very happy
Fantastic experience: Value for money, always immaculately clean, staff always visible during staffed hours, not hiding away in an office unlike other gyms I could mention, lots of equipment, the list goes on
Positive experience: Good, everything I needed to use was available.... 14:00 - 15:00
Fantastic experience: Finally a gym in Bicester with friendly staff.
Fantastic experience: Great
Positive experience: I think they could turn the air conditioning up a bit but otherwise great gym
Positive experience: Beautiful gym. Very happy with the experience. One comment though, no offense but the cleaners are a bit smelly and I’ve witnessed them banging the lockers while making sure they are closed. I’m sure won’t hold for long if they do this everyday.
Fantastic experience: Loads of kit & spacious!
Fantastic experience: Loads of equipment, good layout. Studio is really nice too. Would recommend
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with this gym!! I was uncertain about how big it was inside as looks smaller from the outside but it is so spacious inside and the staff are really friendly and engaging!
Fantastic experience: I’m very happy with PureGym Bicester. Staff are friendly and the place is clean, well maintained. Recommended to a couple friends, but noticed that savehalf offer just expired. Not sure if there will be new offers coming soon.
Positive experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clean gym, well kept. All machines are new albeit some have started squeaking already. Overall, not bad. Hope staff pick this up to work on the cons to make this 5*. Pros- cheap membership, open 24hrs, friendly staff, free parking, easily accessible. Depending on puregym membership, free sports water is included which is good. Brand new equipment and machines. Cons- Temperature is consistently uncomfortably warm. Not hot, but too warm for a gym. No windows so no fresh air feeling. Although the app displays how many people are present, it is regularly busy from 0900-2300 and machine availability isn't great during these hours. Unsure of max capacity. Additionally, the covid rules seem to have relaxed and users are not cleaning kit anymore. The facilities are there but are not being used.
Fantastic experience: Clean good equipment and plenty of options availabke.
Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, with great equipment at a price that cannot be beaten. Other gyms in Bicester have been robbing locals for years with ridiculous prices and contracts that suit them and not the customer. There is plenty of room here to exercise, and there are never issues with damaged machines that take forever to fix! Welcome to the Bicester Pure Gym. Wishing you the best
Fantastic experience: It’s a gym. Does the purpose, has good equipment and nice staff. I’m really happy with the location and have no problems. I foresee myself being at this gym for as long as I live in Bicester.
Positive experience: I went to try out the free weight room today and it was pretty good. Plenty of equipment to go around. A few issues though: The floor of the entire gym shakes whenever a moderately loaded barbell is dropped on the "olympic" platform! Not even from a great height either - just from someone performing a regular deadlifts. I dread to think what would happen if someone actually tried a heavy olympic lift on it. Perhaps a solid concrete floor would have been a better idea!? The dedicated bench press benches don't have safety bars/pins, but they are pretty standard bits of kit so it is what it is. But there is not enough space behind them for a spotter to get behind the bar. So for lifting heavy, they are not great It's easy enough to set up a bench under the power rack - and there is plenty of room behind the bar for a spotter to get behind. However there are also no safety pins anywhere I could see. So if I am alone and want to bench heavy, the only option on both setups is to not use any weight clips on the bar and then just try to tip the weights off one end in an emergency. This is not something I've had the pleasure of practising. There really should be a set of safety pins available for the power rack! Please order some PureGym! On another note, the free weight area does feel a little cramped, as in there is not a ton of free space around. Which feels odd when you are there because there is a HUGE functional fitness area which was hardly being used! If some of these things can be addressed then I think I will be signing up and spending a lot more time there.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely huge space with tons of equipment. Looks absolutely great and I'm excited to be a new member!
Fantastic experience: Great Gym. I travel the uk for work and this is one of the best Puregym's ive visited out of the 20+ i have done. Great machines. Plenty of racks and benches. Plenty of space. And has sledge's and battle ropes which are always a plus.
Fantastic experience: The best gym in Bicester so far
Fantastic experience: All gym in 1 floor whit great parking, for costumers and many machines and options to trying and fit your body better than ever!
Fantastic experience: This gym has not opened and has 2 stars! This is unfair! Pure gym is actually a great business model, especially for people who work unsociable hours and travel regularly, i couldnt possibly join every independent gym in the country on the off chance i might get a job there and even if i did they wouldn’t be open when i want to use them! Ive visited many pure gyms up and down the country and they have all exceeded any local independent gyms in my home area that ive previously used, they have good quality equipment but also have a fast response to repairing and replacing damaged equipment. Good luck with the opening this month!
Fantastic experience: In response to the earlier comments and to support the newly established team that is now tasked with responding to unhappy people (can't say customers because they are not...yet anyway) - even before the branch have opened their doors. I am actually a customer for a change and have used PG for many years- previously in Oxford and now at Northampton Weston Favell branch, and both of them are great, meet my needs perfectly (affordable, modern and clean). Business model is great for those that are not looking to use swimming pool or sauna but looking for a no fuss, accessible 24/7 place to work out. And I believe it's a UK company which have grown precisely because of their business model and delivery of quality. I know that I don't need to convince anyone here, there are plenty of customers with the number constantly growing, so the only downside could be that the gyms can sometimes be crowded. Fingers crossed you can go ahead with the opening on 29th March!
Fantastic experience: According to the Oxfordshire live website, it'll be opening in March 2022. Provisionally I've given it 3 stars. If it opens, that'll go up to 5, if it doesn't, then 1! No pressure PureGym! Edit: it opened yesterday, I went today! Well equipped gym. Clean and spacious.
Positive experience: When will you open? Even the mask is now optional and Covid would stay with humankind forever like fever and cough, I wonder you are not closing because of COVID or you will stay close forever.
Fantastic experience: I live nearby and it says theres new membership offer coming up !
Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Hello, just a quick question... Any rough idea to when the gym will open in bicester? Thank you!
Fantastic experience: It says the gym is currently open however it's dark and no entrance please dont specify the opening hours when it's clearly not open yet..
