PURE GYM appears on your statement because PureGym processed a payment through their card payment provider.

PURE GYM (also PUREGYM, PUREGYM LTD, or PURE GYM LIMITED) on your statement is a payment to PureGym, the UK's largest gym chain, with hundreds of sites offering low-cost, contract-free memberships and 24/7 access at most locations. A recurring monthly amount is your membership fee; a one-off amount is usually the joining fee paid when you signed up, a day pass, or a class or personal-training purchase.
PureGym prices each gym individually, so two members at different sites pay different amounts — there is no single national price. Membership tiers also differ: a standard membership is cheaper than a Plus membership (which adds multi-gym access and other perks), and prices can rise with notice, so this month's payment may not match what you remember agreeing to. If your amount changed, check your membership tier and your home gym's current pricing in the PureGym app.
The most common cases: a membership you set up and stopped using but never cancelled — PureGym is contract-free, but the membership continues billing monthly until you actively cancel it; a family member's membership paid from your card or a joint account; or a joining fee alongside the first month making the initial charge look unexpectedly large. Payments continue even if you haven't visited in months.
Log in to the PureGym member area at puregym.com or the app and open your membership details — it shows your gym, tier, monthly fee, and payment history. Your welcome email also states the fee and payment date. If nothing matches, check whether anyone in your household has a membership collected from your account, and compare the amount against your bank's Direct Debit list, which will name the originator.
PureGym is a well-known, legitimate company, and a PURE GYM line is almost always a genuine membership payment rather than fraud. Unexpected charges are usually a forgotten or uncancelled membership. If you have never held a PureGym membership and no one in your household does, contact PureGym with the payment reference — they can locate the membership it belongs to — and treat the payment as potentially unauthorised if they find nothing.
PureGym memberships have no fixed contract: follow the cancellation steps in the member area, and note that PureGym's own guidance covers cancelling the Direct Debit with your bank before your next billing date. For a payment you believe was taken in error, contact PureGym member services first.
