Pure Gym, Walnut Street, Leicester

[stix]

I used to be a member and thought they were crazy cheap? Was £25/month and got full access to every council gym in Leicester (no off-peak/peak times) and unlimited swimming, squash, badminton, tennis, classes (yoga, pilates etc.) and use of the Saffron Lane track. Seemed a complete bargain to me?

Alot of bang for your buck there for sure. Is it just a flat rate £25 charge though regardless of the facilities you use? because if you want to go to the gym 3,4 or 5 times a week and only intend on doing abit of running and some weight training the £11-odd a month these 24/7 gyms charges would be better value still.

Yea, there aren't tiers, it's all or nothing (well was when I went, must have been a year or so ago now). So yeah, if you just want a bit of casual use then go for a 24/7 gym. If you play a racket sport even once a week, swim, or use the athletics track, or do classes, it works out pretty good though. Depends what you are after.

I actually stopped my membership as I found for me, running outside was 100x nicer than a treadmill, and got some kettle-bells at home for weights, so pay £0 a month now. Annoyingly have to pay £3 to go to the track now though, or £4 for Squash - but still works out cheaper per month.
