The main issue for me is that bodybuilding gyms aren’t open 24 hours and with my job and family commitments I often workout late in the night so gyms that close at 10pm just won’t work for my lifestyle

[@charliebelton1994]

I used a 24-Hour generic gym. Found my feet like yourself and learned the fundamentals for a year. My rule of thumb was once I could shoulder press, bench and utilize the heaviest dumbell's for most workouts, I would move onto a bodybuilding style gym. Best decision I ever made! For me the likes of pure gym & 24-hour gyms are just a steppingstone for those looking to get serious, or its convenient for those who work shift work, or even just like to turn up 2/3 times a week.

NOOO WAY Thats the puregym I go to! Could have seen you but I went to my family's place for a couple weeks D: I personally just use the machines and been going for bit over a year and have seen great progress, with headphones in and no camera I enjoy it just fine. Amazing video as always, imo with the machines you got to really play around with the adjustments and it can be hard to get it just right, and different body proportions affect the feel/effectiveness greatly so maybe these just aren't good for you. Good luck with the competition your looking great!

[@seanohare3509]

Trained at a pure gym when I first got back into training, moving into a bodybuilding gym was one of the best things I ever done training wise. Lots more people for advice, also they seem a lot more eager to give the advice even if they look more intimidating 😂 Also I like the idea of constantly thinking I’m small because some of the lads in there are just absolutely huge so it’s always pushing me. Oh and before I forget it’s nice not having to wait for machines as well

[@AR-q8z]

those guys are serious if they say 3 sets they mean literally 1 min rest inbetween they usually go again.

[@matthewconnor6817]

Trained at a couple in Manchester for one month - always overcrowded, never any etiquette by members. People leaving weights and dumbbells everywhere, asking mid rep ‘how many sets left mate’ - ended up at places like Genesis Wembley, Catts Wigan and Ralls in Leeds. Night and day to commercial crap

[@joesimpson7245]

Problem I’m having is the machines really restrict your range of motion. Take leg press the 45 degree one I have to put my feet right up to actually feel it

[@AR-q8z]

matrix are poorly designed you won't usually see pro athletes or body builders using that brand. top end brands that take pride in the biomechanics of machines are. hammer strength,cybex,precore,prime,pannatta,gym80,arsenal just to name a few there are more. just the general smoothness and muscle contractions they give are superior by a mile compared to matrix.

Come on folks, remember when we were in lockdown everyone trying to buy weights off gumtree and the likes, I could train with anything and get results, can't see any positives slagging off other gyms. Everyone has their own level and budget, at least more and more people are now going to gyms, which then means more and more people interested in bodybuilding and fitness vide on here.

[@davidhenderson7433]

@surb yup, totally agree, put on the headphones ignore everyone else and use the weights, machines etc shouldn't matter where. Only atmosphere I got is in my own zone, I don't notice nor interested in any one else's shit in there. If getting gains that's what matters.

[@markgoss9150]

Pure gym machines are designed to help you, the tracks on the machines make the load easier the pec fly is 137kg max but it can be done one handed for like 20reps and almost the same 2 handed? I know it sounds stupid but hope you see what I’m getting at :) It’s an amazing gym if you can’t afford anywhere else as a gym is a gym at the end of the day but for me personally I felt everything was designed to be easier thus boosting confidence

[@smokeyj1656]

I was one of those people questioning you when you hammered the other gym and it’s equipment etc etc but bro honestly couldn’t agree more when it comes to these chain commercial gym, “it’s depressing in here” is literally the best way to sum these gyms up! Equipment below par, music is dog shit and not one ounce of inspiration in the place.. The worst part is the proper gyms are dying out especially down south as shit holes like pure gym are pricing out all the good little gyms🤦🏻‍♂️ Looking really good btw george improvements from 2019 are clear as day and from the side you look deadly! Keep working hard mate very inspiring 💪🏻

[@tobyanderson5360]

Yeah 100%. Currently at a really nice 24 hour proper gym after moving from a commercial gym. The gains difference i made was insane simply from the difference in atmosphere when you walk in. You have serious people of all different stages really going for it and it inspires you to push those extra few reps each set. Cant explain it properly but those extra few reps and genuine care taken into implementing well thought out, functional machines does wonders for progression and staying consistent. Its £40 a month but still worth it tbh, if you are serious then £40 is nothing in the long run.

[@smokeyj1656]

@@tobyanderson5360 I’m literally doing exactly the same thing Toby and it’s night and day the difference between the “pure gym” and a proper gym!

I use to go to a gym called Snapfitness which is originally american but spreads around the world and the UK and that gym was amazing. The late times were spot on and were perfect times for people with social anxiety and it would always be the same day after day. At puregym even on my first day something felt a little weird. It feels as if puregym arent very secure places at all. The gym was nice looking but it would be busy every hour of the day it would not stop. People quieing infront of the equipment is awful too like go do something else while you wait lol. Puregym is the british Planet Fitness

[@AR-q8z]

No planet fitness atleast have hammer strength machines that piss on matrix machines

[@mortyst290]

I’ve started to train at a local pure gym just on a Saturday morning after work! If ultraflex was open when I finished then I’d be there but I don’t think Normanton Ultraflex opens until 6am? I know what you mean about the machine George unfortunately most of them apart from plate loaded ones use a rubber belt system and with the use they get and not maintained enough the belts get slack and stretched. If your ever over Normanton Leeds and need a training caddy for an hour👍🏻 keep up the fantastic videos mate and good luck for future comps, your dedication and consistency is top draw.

[@Ollyb2106]

I went to PureGym for the first time this week after training for 6 years and I had one of the most mundane training sessions I’ve ever had. The machines felt mega tacky and like you said, struggled to get the full range of motion to satisfy me. The dumbbells feel cheap too and I hate how you can’t get the part of the bench you sit on fully flat when doing a dumbbell shoulder press. And yeah, dumbbells on the floor unracked is an eyesore. My local gym is a commercial one local to my county and it’s recently fully refurbished to the point I can say it’s one of the best gyms I’ve ever been in. Mainly because it’s fully kitted out with brand new pristine Technogym equipment and man it’s so comfortable to use and find I push myself to the brink every time. I’m fully convinced Technogym is the best brand of equipment in the game.

[@mrrrrr5158]

You're picking out some BS negatives. I cannot stand Pure gym but the only reason is that the one's nearby to me are always too busy. Whether the Dumbells feel cheap or expensive what difference does it make to the weight!? Anyway at the end of the day the weights being lifted are the weights being lifted and progressive overload can be achieved. Weird negatives

[@Ollyb2106]

@@mrrrrr5158 To be fair it’s just me being pedantic cause the dumbbells are all just as usable as each other at the end of the day. But some are way more comfortable to use than others. Machines on the other hand can feel radically different from brand to brand

I think pure gym is clean and car parking is not normally an issue however the gym layout is odd....machines all over the place and most remind me of a "super market curry meal.........." - "Looks great but just something missing you can't put your finger on..." I think in the potential evolution of a bodybuilder it gives you an idea if you love it or not ....then after 6-12 months you migrate to more of an old school or modern bodybuilding gym if your lucky like an Ultraflex or iron asylum (Mold) where I train fortunately. They remind me of a good hotel gym on holiday .....not knocking them at all ...some may absolutely love them and grow / train well. ...it's all personal choice. One thing you do feel is the total lack of pump achievable on some machines as they don't adjust to fit / hit the muscle effectively which is the whole idea behind a machine (with the added bonus of being difficult to injure yourself). It's just like an Aldi with weights😂 .......Keep up the great vlogs. Be safe 🙏 Namaste 🦉 Gary
