I joined Blyth PureGym on its opening day, and I'm still a loyal member. Value for money is outstanding, especially if you're a regular attendee. Cleanliness is clearly a top priority; the cleaning staff are consistently active and visible. The machines and equipment are durable and well-maintained. They offer a wide variety of equipment to cater to different workout needs. Just be aware that it can get quite crowded between 5pm and 8pm on weekdays. More...

Good size gym, decent amount of equipment. Clean and tidy. But showers aren't too warm and when it's busy it's not easy to get on the kit you need.

The gym has a open and airy feel to it, although i feel the temperature is quite hot and could be a bit cooler in temperature. The cardio machines are good. The staff are friendly though and when i asked for advice, they were happy to help and professionally answered my question. More...

Basic commercial gym but nothing special. Neglects a good seated or standing calf machine (there is one but its rubbish), no hack squat or pendulum. Just lacks equipment in all areas. Good as a back up gym for the price but there is much better gyms close by if your willing to pay slightly more. Also better music instead of the radio would bring the place alive. it can’t be that difficult to put a upbeat gym playlist on!! Thats literally the bare minimum you should be granted from a gym!! Take your headphones!! More...

I've known Gareth for years and going into his 2:1 training sessions with my husband i was so nervous, various injuries over the years that I didn't want to repeat. Gaz took everything nice and slowly easing me back into exercising. Now 4 weeks later i can see the changes and i feel so much better, you won't find him saying you can't eat this can't eat that it's not a diet it's a life changer, he's just so down to earth i sing his praises to anyone who will listen.

A lot of the equipment doesn't adjust for shorter people, which makes it impossible to bench press at all or barbell curl unless stood up. The racks for being press are back to back, which makes it very difficult for a spotter to fit behind. Also there is nothing to wipe the equipment down. Something wrong with the leg press that you put the pin in the weight to change weights. All the squat racks and areas for dead lifting are right in the middle of the room, which feel quite uncomfortable. The hip extension machine is made for a taller person as there is a metal joint that sticks into your leg and you can't properly in the seat, with your back on the back rest as the joint on the machine doesn't allow it.

Popped into the gym when visiting family. Way bigger than our home PureGym. Equipment is new, well spread out and lots of great classes on offer. Excited to continue using when we pop up to visit family! Changing rooms upstairs with plenty of lockers. More...

Quite a lot of kit there to choose from if you can actually get on any of it as even on a night it's busy. A shame there aren't any trainers correcting form on the young ones who are likely to hurt themselves

Brilliant Gym, just what Blyth has needed for a long time. Great facilities and very friendly staff. Access is so easy scanning in and out. Huge range of equipment, cardio and weights. I got a combo padlock from the vending machine inside for the lockers, only £6 which is good value. Shame the manager can't remove the 1star comments on here, total irrelevant comments and posted before it was opened 🤦. More...

Been a couple of times this week so far and each time been welcomed in by different members of staff. Chloe taught the first class I'd booked onto and within minutes made me feel very welcome and relaxed. Since then I've tried a few more classes and all instructors have been brilliant. Especially Gareth and Ryan who had abit of banter and made it fun but still a tough work out. I'm not very confident when it comes to using equipment at the gym so the classes are perfect for me. Absolutely loving having this 5 minutes away from my house and classes either early morning or later at night. Keep up the good work :) More...

Gareth has trained myself and continues to train my son and has done so for over a year. Gareth is an amazing P/T who works with you to help achieve your goals. Gareth is extremely knowledgeable and helped me gain strength in my lower back following spine surgery. Not only has my sons body definition changed his confidence has grown massively since training with Gaz. Highly recommend Gaz! More...

Gaz is a first class personal trainer. He is extremely knowledgeable in fitness and nutrition and tailors it to suit your needs and ability. I never thought I would do weights in a gym but with Gaz supporting every step of the way nothing is impossible! I 100% recommend Gaz, he is friendly, hugely supportive and excellent at what he does.

I’ve been doing PT for just over a year now and have loved every session, he always makes them enjoyable even if he’s encouraging me to do something I didn’t think I could, which I actually can! I have become so much more confident in myself with so much more knowledge on nutrition. He is so approachable so if I’m stuck with anything I never feel I can’t ask. More...

I've been working with Gaz for a little over a year and I am thrilled with the progress I've made in that time. I am stronger and definitely more confident. I have achieved things I didn't know I was capable of and am so much more aware of my nutrition. I also love how my PT sessions have given me a focus to spend time on myself. Would definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More...
