A PT's HONEST Pure Gym Review 

So true mate, negative vibes in commercial gyms

This is so true because many times i been bashing out my work outs an then i get to a machine where someone is doing simple easy work outs an taking like 5mins rest an just sat on phone an am stood there like wtf for f sake get off the machine an go home an chat this is not the place its so annoying

Dude! If you're doing hard sets to failure you need long rests in between sets, so going on the phone is justified. It all depends on how much you're lifting, how adapted you are to the exercise, and whether you will be able to perform the next set well after resting for only a minute. If you rest for only a minute, but can only do 3 or 4 reps on your next set then you aren't resting enough and should be doing something on your phone. Machines can be shared between people in between sets. Just ask.

Completely agree.. I used to work for a pure gym, and it's a complete scam, you do 15hr shifts per week, running 6 classes, cleaning like a maniac between each class and at the end of the month YOU PAY THE GYM RENT, this model makes 0 sense. Clientele is almost non-existent although it does depend on what area you are in. You cannot excel in your career working like that

What do you do between sets?

The phone thing I think is fine as long as they dont sit there for more than like 2 mins or more for some exercises, if you train hard you have to take rest and less than 2 minutes is shown to decrease muscle growth results. I sit on my phone for 1.5-2 mins between every set just minding my own business while listening to music, its not quite polite to just be staring at people as well. But yeah theres a lot of people not trying hard enough and doing things completely wrong at pure gym, but its the perfect gym for me its cheap, close, open 24/7 rarely full and has the machines that I want. I have seen that its really bad to work at though.

having slightly lazy clients is probably good for a PT no, if they were extremely self motivated and knew everything they wouldn't need you

The phone (people sitting on the phone reserving the machine that is annoying. I've seen people spend half an hour on the same machine because they either chatting with their friends at the gym or on the phone

What's pure gym like to work for? I see everyone slagging it off but everyone has to start somewhere? I coach online and work full time in construction, I've been offered a role a pure and I want to live and breathe fitness to take my online coaching and physique to the next level. Do you think working in pure is a good idea for someone relatively new to the industry? Cheers

i actually hate bodybuilding gyms-just too many posers.plus some have ppl trying to push steroids i normally have a routine in mind when i go to puregym-plus you can use earbuds just to focus more
