PureGym Staines

Overview

PureGym Staines is a functional spot for fitness that's part of the well-known PureGym chain. It's open 247, which is a huge plus if you're juggling kids and work. The atmosphere is generally friendly, with a decent mix of cardio and weightlifting areas. But, it's worth noting that some parts of the gym are currently undergoing refurbishment, which might cramp your style if you're looking for a full workout.

The gym itself is a bit on the small side. You've got your cardio machines in one section and the resistance training area up some stairs. While that might seem fine, it does lead to crowding at peak times - a real hassle if you're trying to get on a machine or find space. The staff are helpful though, which is a nice touch in a busy environment.
