PureGym London Lambeth

Great since the refurb. Love the new functional area which is nice and spacious and has everything you'd need really for that type of training. Deducting one star as the gym can be a pain to train in in the mornings as it can end up a bit of a treasure hunt for dumbbells as people often don't bother to put them back. This is not so much of a problem during staffed hours as the staff go round and put them back.

I have very mixed feelings and experiences about this place but here is a fair summary. Pros: Open 24 h, decent equipment in terms of quality and very cheap for London. Good app. Good lessons. Cons: Absolutely packed between 6-9 so if that's your only available times then do avoid joining. Instructors take a piss by claiming half of the weights to use with a client leaving nothing for others. The gym is not actually designed for peak capacity so if you go at peaks do expect queues and not finding anything. Their business model is to have low to zero staff so things are always out of place and not very tidy. I've given three stars due to the really bad experience during peak hours. For the price it's probably fair, but it does get annoying.
