    I’ve been going to this gym for months, and ever since Blink started transitioning into PureGym, the place has become an absolute disaster. The cleanliness is nonexistent. The facility smells terrible, there’s no proper ventilation, and it genuinely feels like many members don’t even know what deodorant is. To make things worse, there has been a cockroach in the bathroom for weeks — at this point it might as well be a fossil. It’s unbelievably dirty, and it’s reached a point where it’s no longer just unpleasant, it’s a public health concern that needs immediate attention. This gym desperately requires proper cleaning, maintenance, and management. I hope this review helps spark the improvements that members deserve.

    Needs better filtered air, it was extremely warm & more attentive staff, there was no one around at the front desk for long periods of time(30min)/people just checking themselves in. I had to figure things out on my own, first time trying the gym, had questions about membership/personal training but I will try again next time.

    I would give this 0 stars if I could worst smelling gym I’ve ever experienced across multiple states and countries. No ventilation and the whole gym is a total mess. Terrible. Would not recommend this gym to ANYONE. If you want a cheaper gym just go to planet fitness trust me.

    Nice and spacious gym. Superbly equipped with state of the art machines. Immaculately kept and well managed! Jihad , the morning gym attendant on-site is courteous and eager to assist with some questions I have about the gym. He is a definite asset to PureGym conglomerate. Thankyou BX

    Stinks machines are always broken, slow to repair. Gym is always crowded. Gym Culture is horrible - they don't enforce REQUIRED shoe policy; people walk around bare feet. And it stinks constantly. (worth a second mention). Also there should be posted signs about the illegality of recording, ESPECIALLY IN LOCKER ROOMS. 🤦🏿‍♂️ People freely set up Tripods in there and management doesn't seem to care.
