PureGym Charing Cross

 



Description:

Puregym Charing Cross offers a range of equipment mainly targeted towards beginner and intermediate lifters. It is very spacious and user friendly with lots of supportive information around on different exercises. Personally, I have never been fond of Puregyms due to their environment and basic equipment. Recently I have began to change my opinion on them, after moving flat for this academic year I have started a membership at Puregym Charing Cross due to the location being very convenient. The main upside I have felt since joining is the 24/7 opening hours. As a student I find it hard to fit in a workout sometimes especially during busy periods during the semester. The flexibility of being able to access a gym at any point has helped me fit in workouts where I couldn’t before. Another benefit of the flexible opening hours is that the gym is less busy at all times as there is not the usual rush of people going in the evening to get a workout in before the gym closes. One big attraction to the gym is its convenient location, the gym is located near the city centre nearby to Charing Cross station making it very accessible for anyone from commuters to students. The equipment is extensive but very basic and offers very little to more advanced lifters. Another downside I have noticed is the temperature. I’m not sure if there is currently an issue, but the gym gets very warm during times and can be very off putting when working out.

Pros:

-          Open 24 hours

-          Large changing rooms

-          Very spacious layout

-          Wide variety of classes available

Cons:

-          Lacks atmosphere

-          Very hot at times

-          Limited machines

-          High app dependency for access and bookings

-          Joining fee

Price:

-          Day pass: £6.99

-          Monthly: £20.99 (£16.99 for students)

Opening hours:

-          Monday-Sunday 24 hours

Strathsport

  Description: Strathsport has been my primary gym for the past two years due to it being located on my university campus. I have had a very positive experience training here. For a commercial style gym, Strathsport offers some high-end equipment that others do not such as the high-end racks and specialised ESP kit. It has a very spacious layout and offers a wide range of facilities such as racket courts, a swimming pool with sauna and steam room and many others. It also offers some of the cheapest student membership I have seen, and they come with access to all the facilities. The environment is very positive as all of the staff are very supportive and friendly. There are often new, challenging competitions available in the gym which encourage a strong sense of community such as timed sled pulls or distance challenges on rowing machines. One thing that does take away from the experience at Strathsport is it can get very busy in the evenings which creates long waits for some equipm...
