Being used to the excellent facilities at the Pure Gym in Portishead, I moved my membership immediately after moving. However upon my first session I found the gym is oversubscribed, and in the evening is absolute chaos with queues for equipment and weights being left everywhere. It feels like there is much less staff than in Portishead, or at least there is no one enforcing the rules or tidying. The gym has poor ventilation and you really notice the smell on entering. The Yanga water machine doesn?t work most of the time, and the water pressure for the normal taps is inconsistent. There is a good range of equipment and some duplicates, but much of it needs maintenance and I've had to swap exercises due to rust and inconsistent resistance. However, the location is very convenient, changing rooms are clean, and the spin room has a great view. I feel very torn on whether or not to continue.

Great gym! Lots of equipments, space for stretching and free weights. Changing rooms and showers are clean and spacious. Classes are fun to challenge yourself. Staff are friendly and supportive. I just love it here and you get a nice view of Bristol ?

Good range of equipment with 6 power racks with platforms, bumper plates , 2 benches. Lots of dumbbell benches and dumbbells up to 50kg.Been here 4 years and they?ve made a good number of improvements (decking out the power racks, new deadlift platforms and new pull up bars etc).Only gripe is the lift keeps on breaking and takes ages to get fixed, at least once where have been without a working lift for a few good weeks so you have to walk up 5 floors.But overall the gym has kept prices cheap , is good quality and going early morning I?ve never had any issues getting on the equipment I need

Fairly big gym well equipped and functionally designed. The gym is located on the 4th and 5th floor, you can get a day pass on the PureGym app for less than 8£.

I have been using Filton Abbey Wood gym over one year as a home gym on basic membership.Moved house so change membership amount to use several gyms as I move around alot daily.The home gym became Bristol harbour side and secondary gym Abbey Wood. I had access to both gyms on £29.99 package. I continued this way without issues for 2 months approximately.Suddenly I cannot access Filton Abbey Wood as secondary gym overnight it becomes not included and I am asked to pay £3 more and upgrade without any prior warning.Incredibly unprofessional and unacceptable to change terms over night. Very disruptive to my routine and I will not be using this gym again and willl take public to warn others of this practice.Furthermore no one to talk to to help management are not competent in helping.

Use this Pure Gym a lot. Good range of equipment and very clean! Avoid peak times because it does get very busy, like all gyms.

We came to Bristol for a weekend break and I usually come to the area maybe three or four times a year and always felt guilty about neglecting exercising because i didn't know there was a PureGym in the area.PureGym Bristol Central was a mere three-minute walk from my hotel at Travelodge Central and i liked that i didn't even need to bring much because it was that close to the hotel.We first came here this weekend and we did get a bit lost walking around the building but i think it was the Google Maps placement that made it look like it was opposite Pizza Express but it isn't.We came into the building and it was a standard capsule entry where you have to enter your pin to get access to the gym. You then need to take the lift up to either the 4th floor (the main section) or the 5th floor where the lockers and changing room are.I initially thought it was a bit of a confusing layout because it was a different style of building compared to the other gyms i have been to under the same PureGym franchise.We liked that the lockers here are bigger than the standard sizes so we could fit in a backpack instead of just being given space for a phone and maybe some change. The changing rooms here were bigger and i liked the showers, I didn't have a chance to use them because my hotel was literally around the corner but they looked high quality. The glass door was a little off-putting but it hid the private areas so i guess that's something.We used the treadmill first, this was an older style of treadmill than my local and it even had the connection points for an iPod. However, they were all on standby mode meaning it looked kike it wasn't working but you have to press the green "Go" for up to eight seconds before it reboots.I liked that there were multiple of the same machine meaning i could choose where i wanted to run but some of them were unusable due to some of them facing the bright white building that the sun was reflecting and i wonder if that was more suited for the clouder days perhaps.I had a good run and then i tried some of the weights, this is not down to the company but the customers themselves who would leave huge sports bags and jackets on some of the machines when they were not using them. This seemed to be accepted by the community and it really shouldn't be.Otherwise, it was a great gym and i am glad i visited, it is nice that i could exercise while being away from home and i like how it is open 24 7 meaning i can choose when i can exercise.

Great location for a gym, great staff, good amount of space and equipment, members are sound. My one gripe is the weights not going back where they belong/left on the floor. Not staffs fault as a popular gym like that is going to attract a few rouge weightlifers with no etiquette.

Decent pure gym, spacious and friendly enough. Lots of kit. Decent changing rooms and showers.
