Facilities
Most locations are open 24 hours a day[7] and offer cardio equipment, fixed and free weights, and exercise classes. There are over 200 pieces of training equipment in most gyms. There are no swimming pools or saunas, which are found in more expensive gyms.
For safety, all PureGyms are monitored by real-time CCTV linked directly to security staff and emergency services. They also have AEDs and first aid kits on site. Most gyms also run weekly fire drills during off-peak hours.[8]
In May 2015, PureGym Ltd bought their UK rival LA Fitness for around £60 million to £80 million.[11][12]
