What's a gym?

Just got off the phone with PureGym. The customer advisor said that you can indeed apply the 6 months free voucher to exisiting memberships. Just call up with the code O2 give you when purchasing the band and they will apply it to your account. The PureGYm advisor also said it didn't matter which gym you already had membership with.

No that's a bit trampy, plus it's a quality addition.

​A place where you do pokemon battles for badges

I've got pure gym code i won't be able to use because I'm moving house midway through so waste of time

After a load of hassle back and forth with O2, because they didn't send me the gym code, they have finally decided they have none left which is really disappointing as I was actually going to use it!
And there are none left on ebay either apart from one chancer wanting £95!

Sold the garmin for £93 on ebay.

Just wanted to post and check that no one who was an existing member had encountered issues with their direct debit still being taken?

I never received any kind of confirmation but my usual DD is on the 5th and it looks like they've not taken it, so all good at this end.

Everthing comes in the same bag, used my code today with no problems. Gym would cost me £29.99 a month for 6 months.

normally received in the post in a flat white jiffy bag

I've received my fitbit - when and how will I receive the PureGym membership code? Is it in the post or email?

Ok, signed up but was told I will only be able to use one particular gym of my choice, toh well still decent deal.

Has anybody tried signing up using this then upgrading to "all gyms" membership? Or can someone login to their account and let me know how much they are asking for the upgrade?

If anyone interested o2 priority are giving a 10 day pass. Do the pass then start the 6 months membership.

Got Gear s2 today using o2 priority discount. Paid £199 and got 6 months gym membership as well. Cancelling my current membership at local gym (£30pm). Bedford pure gym costs £19. This saved me £114 plus £50 priority plus saving on current membership. This watch effectively cost me £20 (current membership cost). Happy days. Only one downside I have a IPhone, and that means having to download app on kids Nexus 5. Cannot wait for IOS app release

Can anyone give me the box dimensions of the Garmin? Either by itself or including the packageing from o2. Did it fit through the letterbox? Bit random but don't want UKMail leaving it at their hole, then trying to tell me they posted it.

Cheers

Didn't get the leaflet when I bought the gear s2 damn, it showed up on the receipt though. Is the code you need the same one that is written on the receipt next to where it mentions the puregym offer?

just wondering if anyone getting mixed responses. I called the number and CS advised I can only access one gym (based on previous comments, i thought this was open to all gyms?) Also how long did people have to wait to get a pin from Puregym? It's been an hour and I havent received a text. I wasn't too happy with the PureGym CS to be honest, they rushed me and didnt repeat my details or check the spelling of my name..

I received my tracker today, 1 day 12 hours after ordering, not bad
I have also phoned Puregym and added my voucher

UK Mail surpassed themselves with my father's order, it was placed at 10pm and the Fitbit was delivered before 11am the next day :confused:

Impressive.

​The CS rep I spoke didn't know herself and had to ask her manager. It may depend upon who you speak to.

Got my Fitbit yesterday, had a good talk with CS who upgraded my membership to an additional gym before applying the free 6-month code. Also confirmed you couldn't stack the codes in order to get 12-months free.

Just emailed them askinh why it is delayed. They said that they havent even received it from the sender.

Heres my reply to them.lets see what they say
Hi on my previous enquiry i was told my parcel hasnt been collected from the sender. But the tracking page says different.


15th March 2016 07:10 Delayed
14th March 2016 19:20 Booked/Awaiting Collection
14th March 2016 18:44 Collected.

Can i ask how long it is delayed for and what the situation is please

Which one is easier to sell?

Anyone else having problems with ukmail?
Dunno why o2 use them worse company out there.

Status saying item is delayed for last 2 days

Thanks op, my dad got one of these and I've been fiddling about with it for a few days until I officially hand it over at the weekend!

A note: I have very slim wrists (14cm/5.5ins) and I'm not even using the smallest hole on the 'large' size band!

I can only imagine that the 'small' band is for children!

I do find the Fitbit a bit cumbersome but I am used to a slim ladies watch. I've kept my watch on my left wrist and put the Fitbit on the other wrist (my dominant arm).

I'd love one for myself, the information is great and I can see how it could end up a little addictive.

great deal, I have recently signed up to puregym and am on £11.99 a month deal, so meaning that the tracker will only cost me £28 after the £72 saving.
I also happen to own a fitbit charge already, but the battery has died on me and I am only getting 10 - 12 hours out of a full charge. I emailed fitbit on Friday and received a reply on saturday, saying that they had viewed my account, my battery was losing 70% charge over 4 hours and that they are sending out a replacement for me.
Hows that for customer service?
I did ask for an upgrade to an HR model, but was told I can only get like for like, so I am going to buy the HR from here, apply the 6 month code to my puregym account and sell the brand new Charge that is due to arrive in the next few days.
Gotta love Hotukdeals

edit: ordered

Picked a Fitbit up a few days ago, impressed with it so far. It's amazing how it makes you consciously make an effort to reach targets such as steps taken and amount of water consumed. Only took 5 mins to add the 6 months free gym to my current PureGym membership.

Ordered the garmin

Went online only "BLACK" available. Can i to choose another colour if i went , instore ??

No they just ask you for the model i.e. Fitbit charge HR

For the record, the o2 website is atrocious. Wont let me change my billing address from a previous account, so have to create a new account...

An update for those who live in areas where PureGyms are currently being planned/developed/coming soon.

You can claim the offer and then defer the membership until it opens.

Existing PG member here.

Anyone know if you can apply the code to upgrade from the gym you're at now to another? I.e. New Barnet to Piccadilly...

Monthly member, but no contract so can cancel at any time. So you could cancel after the 6 free months.

Does this work if you already have a membership?

Could you confirm whether, during the call to register your code, they ask you for any details regarding the Fitbit you just bought or your Fitbit membership ID etc?. Thanks in advance.

Called up to add mine, sounded like the chap had to fill in a form so I don't think it's an automated system,

Question: Is PureGym, Pay as you use gym or must be a monthly member to get in ?.

Hmm..it's been about 5 hours, does the notice come in the form of an email?

Hey guys, anyone receive a confirmation email to suggest the code has been applied to account? I'm an existing pure gym member but haven't received any confirmation as of yet. Been a few hours since I called them up

HOT HOT HOT!
Already a member of pure gym and been looking to get a wrist hr monitor for a while and the timing of this offer couldn't be any more perfect. Ordered yesterday and got delivered today. Rang pure gym and got all sorted. <3

In the end I went for Garmin Vivosmart Hr because I am already on Garmin Connect and have garmin watch and handheld and hopefully will be able to broadcast hr on those devices. :laughing:

trampy, maybe.

I would be interested to buy fitbit of you.

​yep does work at canary. just signed up :smiley:

I was just curious...
My intentions were to flog it on the bay anyway, £50 would convert 6 months membership to circa £8

Has anyone tried registering their membership and returning the Fitbit?

I've received a text and another email advising delivery tomorrow. Which is strange as I'd already rearranged delivery for Wednesday.

Quick check and it's two separate tracking numbers so I assume that's what's happened to those that have only received a code.

People that have given their code to pure gym have you received an email confirming the 6 months to your account?

do you have to pay a joining fee for the gym aswell?

I bought two, and received two big jiffy bags with the leaflet/code and no watch, assuming that will be a week later. Can't see anything that says they cannot be stacked, want to do that but will have to buy another two if so for the other half, wonder how long this offer will continue for... Will call up PureGym and see if stacking is possible.

Have you been able to access multiple gym branches with your membership then? I bought a fitbit after Puregym confirmed to me that I will be able to access most branches with the same code but now after buying it, they say it's only valid for any one branch

I saw at the website that the offer was also valid in store. I went this morning to the nearest O2 store and I bought a fitbit and they gave me the voucher. I called Puregyn when I arrived home, and 15min later I had the pin to access the gym.
Anazing offer, I was looking for a gym membership, I got 6months cheaper than the regular price and the fitness tracker for free

Oh good - I was out this morning when mine turned up, but my e-mail matches this description. I have spoken to O2 and they have said the parcel that was delivered is the only one I should be expecting.

Has anyone else had a more positive answer?

Has anyone else received just the code for pure gym and not the watch?
My "Initial order" email showed watch + pure gym code + delivery. Then "order confirmation" dispatch email showed STANDARD DELIVERY COST £0.00. There was a paper invoice in the package but, it showed 0 quantity for the watch and the parcel is 1 out of 1....

Wouldn't bother ordering - they lost my order and still charged me for it been waiting for 6 days now for a refund

Has anyone tried applying two passes to the same account yet?
Bought a Charge HR at the weekend for my wife & quite like the look of it, so was thinking about getting one for myself & applying both codes to my Pure Gym membership.

Is there any possibility to delay the start of the 6 month membership?

Does this work for just the single gym memberships? Or can you get the all gym memberships with the code?

Did you sign up for the gym already? the one near me (Canary Wharf, London) is also 34.99 and I was wondering if they were still included in this offer.

bought the fitbit on friday, collected on saturday with the gym pass, sold the fitbit on ebay for 85 quid. after ebay have taken the fees i am left with £73 from the fitbit sale. so all in all got 6 months worth of gym for 26.99 (99.99 - 73) , works out at 4.49 per month. puregym near my area charges 34.99 PER MONTH!. Well and truly chuffed! :smile::smile::smile::smile:

andrea296 I'm interested in the gym pass already have a Fitbit. I did wonder whether I could get the pass and return the Fitbit but I'm sure they have thought of that

don't forget your student discount or company perks discount which O2 offer. take proof of where you work with you and get them to check the list of discounts.

they do offer these discounts but haven't checked if it's available on this item

What's a gym?

Damm it, I thought the free membership was it at the gym group... :disappointed: poop

Fitbit would be handy but don't need the gym

Not a member of Puregym, will I have to pay a joining fee?

Awesome! thanks for the info mate.

Does this mean that the signing up fee is free too or do you have to pay for that?

I've had it for about 6 months and I 'm thinking about getting the garmin just to give it shot.

can you stack codes? received 2 vouchers...

Anyone know why you have to be 18 to order the device, but PureGym accepts 16 year olds?? Will they let me have the membership if I say I'm 18?

I've gone and ordered the Fitbit Charge HR to gain the gym membership. I was going to join puregym anyway but was aggrieved to missing out on the introductory £10.99/month membership recently.

Already have the very excellent Charge HR so clearly I'll be selling one of them on!. Queried on 02 chat whether this promo might be extended to the Fitbit Blaze released next week but sadly it's not. So I'll be selling one of the Charge HR and then buying the Blaze next week also :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for the heads up Op! Much appreciated!.

Best tracker to go for? Any recommendations?

perfeeeeeeeeeeeeecttttttttttttttttt.

Any one know if it´s possible to do their NATIONWIDE MEMBERSHIP TO EVERY GYM?

Suspect there will be a handful crop up on ebay

Grrr... Sometimes I hate having choices. The Fitbit looks SO MUCH more good looking than the Garmin, and is cheaper, but in the end I went for the Garmin for its extra features. Would've loved any excuse to get the Fitbit.

Thanks OP, cracking deal. Will be adding to my existing membership :smiley:

shame not one near me as I'm looking for gym membership and a fitbit :disappointed:

hot hot hot , if it works will save a lot of money, was just thinking about joining London/Canary Wharf branch which is 35£/month , will visit O2 this weekend and report back if accpeted

not bad.
Though I am already a member of Virgin Gym, so wont bother with this offer + already got a fitbit.

super cool thank you.My charge already collected :]

I purchased the fitbit tracker and managed to get 6 months free membership added to my current Pure gym membership. Thanks for the info on this great offer.

Just activated my O2 code, six months free so no joining fee, I am new member but I asked if current members were eligible and was told YES, it gets added onto their membership, my O2 shop said they had only sold 2 in 3 days so hopefully it isn't one of these limited offers that have gone before it starts.

Mine comes out on the 12th, I told her to let March go through and start from April if possible

Looks like she managed to get March done as I just got an email to say the next time my direct debit will come out will be on the 12th Sept 2016

:smiley:

Just spoke to Sophie on the phone (she was nice). Told me they apply it from your next direct debit date

Sorry to ask another question, does it matter when in the month it's done? I.E. my fitbit is due to arrive on Monday 7, but the direct debit for March is also taken on 7 March. Don't want to end up losing a free month if that makes sense. If they just postpone the billing date for the next 6 months that'd be fine.

thanks man!

so existing account holders have to call them up?

Hilarious.

yeah i'm happy to wait until a mod clarifies. I have paid £99 for the fitbit so as long as I am not selling it for more than that, surely that's not profiteering.

whats the rule on selling gym membership or the fitbit here. does it count as profiteering. as the gym membership technically is free. i don't want to break any rules on here but i'm happy to sell my fitbit when i get it as I don't have much use for it.

^ Reported.

this is why i love hotukdeals. also this is a saving of £50+ with only 600 heat yet amazon savings of £7 get 5000 heat.

So with this offer can you access multiple sites as part of the offer? Or would you be restricted to just the one?

Pretty good deal...even though I have gym membership near my home, I buy this and use it for a gym membership near my work place. According to PureGym they charge £24.99 a month so I will be quids in!!! :smiley:

Anyone know if this works for the nation wide Puregym membership which is £35.99?

Thanks OP - off to o2 now. Does anyone want the gym membership? I already have a plan supplied by work.

Can someone confirm if this offer would work for any London gym? I'm already signed up to a Pure Gym branch which is in the same building with my office :smiley:

I just gave PureGym a call and can confirm it is applicable to existing members too. They just add a 6 month credit to your account from your next billing date.

My soon to open local is £29.99 a month (as an earlybird OFFER). This is smoking if I can apply it

No it's a gime

:wink:

so many fit people

On more question regarding garmin. For fitbit they have 2 sizes available on o2 website, but for gamin there is no choice of size. That is going to be regular then I suppose? what if I needed large?

And i still can't decide between 2. Simplicity and a probably better resale value if I do not like it (as fitbit is popular), against functionality and waterproofness (if I do like to keep it).... Arghhhhh decisions, decisions...

Are the gym passes able to loaded on top of another if I buy 2?

Also does it include all the gyms or only the selected gyms mentioned earlier?

Very good deal, was looking at getting one of these anyway, just irked at the admin fee I've just paid to join mine. pretty sure in London minimum per month is £24.99

Well good for you. Some people find that if they keep track of their activity, they end up doing more exercise.

Should be, its a scratch card with code, no other personal details on there

Just picked up a fitbit :smiley:

the card/leaflet they give seems like it can be used by anyone. Wouldnt be surprised if O2 staff just gives out the card to friends and family shortly!

Mine is ready for collection, fingers crossed train is on time so i make in time to pick up today

It is the HR but just checked and the offer has expired. If you got a code, you can still use it till tomorrow.
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/v-vosmart-hr-english-black-regular-71-99-garmin-with-code-free-postage-2404914

Not sure if I will use my code.

Is the card transferable onto another person??

No gyms within an hours drive of me. Shame.

I wouldn't go for the Vivosmart. It is available to buy for £72.

I have just got my from in-store with the card and have activated my 6 months free with pure gym (already a member) :sunglasses: Heat Added

hmm i'm not fully convinced, i can imagine the leaflet with the band coming with a bunch of terms like: subject to 12 month subscription & including joining fee

Going to wait until someone gets one first..:neutral_face:

Just picked up mine from my local store

You get a voucher code which you scratch off and call Pure Gym with

Heat, FitBit will end up costing me £24 as I'm already a Pure Gym member

Bargain

This is smoking hot. Local PureGym is £16 a month for me. Garmin = £120 - 96 = £24 !!!

Nope, I do plenty of exercise without needing to know how many steps I have done on any particular day!

does this pay for the joining fee ?

Thanks OP. Heat added. Puregym membership for my local is £23 p/m so £38 saved and a free Fitbit!

Yes I have seen a few, I might really just sell the tracker to bring costs of membership down further, but it might be quite useful actually, so I'll have a look and then purchase:) shame I can't go to the gym now as i injured my ankle while playing footie recently:(


Edit: Looking at yt reviews, I believe that garmin is actually a better choice, waterproof, more features including notifications etc. One problem Im thinking about is using it during workout, it will be hard to use touch screen with sweaty hands?

Just been on the phone with pure gym, no gyms are excluded and you can add this to your existing membership. Im in then! Can you buy this o2 inshore or is it just online?

Also, how does fitbit compare with garmin? The latter looks better and is only 20 quid dearer

wow is that good for current members? I pay 20 a month myself so its essentially a 20 quid saving + a free fitbit hr. Im in!!

Thanks for the heat and comments guys!

I'm gutted as i've discovered that PureGym were going to take over the LA Fitness that's literally up the road from me, but it's been bought by someone else! My nearest PureGym is about 20 miles away :/

That's obviously not the full list. Pretty sure all puregym branches are however applicable with the offer. But only the ones I stated are accessible if you want to access multiple branches with the same code

I'm sure all Puregym brances are applicable with this offer. But if you wanted to access multiple branches with the same code then only the ones I stated are possible. But call Puregym to confirm that your local branch is applicable with the offer. the member services team there is very helpful.

Okay sorry I should have made it clearer. That's the list that the manager of Puregym's member services team sent me so for all the locations I can go to with apart from my main gym selection. I am pretty sure all Puregym branches are applicable with this offer. But if you want to access other branches with the same code then only these ones can be accessed because they have a new code access system.

You keep track of your activity. It's handy because it can serve as a reminder to you to do more exercise, hence the term 'goal'. Have you ever used one?

Thanks OP, Cracking deal mate. I've spoken to PureGym and the manager has confirmed to me that we can access all the branches listed below if accessing multiple branches using the membership number provided by PureGym. So basically the membership we're getting with this promotion is comparable to the nationwide membership which is £35.99 so this is an amazing deal. Should get really hot! Please note: all branches of puregym are included in the promotion but only the ones below can be accessed alongside the main branch you select. Email from the manager:

why is it handy? what do you do with it?

you really want a dedicated HRM and sports watch for that though, the wrist ones the fitness trackers use isn't reliable for intense activities.

Thats surely cant be the full list theres about 200 odd gyms in the UK.

Plus that list has all the london ones one it so if theyre on then my 2 local would defo be on it.

To me that looks more like the list of ones excluded

I don't get the point of fitness trackers, do you really need a thing on youwrist to tell you if you aren't moving about enough? just look down, if you can't see your feet there is a good chance you aren't doing too well!!

ordered

Garmin vivosmart or Fitbit Charge HR? which is better?

This deal is crazy hot.

£99.99 for the fitbit (I don't run or do any pedometer sports), resale value would be near the same. PureGym near me is 16.99 (£101.94) effectively making the fitbit free.

Thanks sent to daughter!

Cheers saves me a trip to ask at my local at lunchtime

Found it - Puregym membership needs to be claimed by April 30th

Is the fitbit charge really worth that kind of money? The Xiaomi miband 2 pretty much does the same thing for 10 quid doesn't it?

Is there an expiry time before using the gym offer?

Nice one! Thanks for calling beat me to it. Put an order in and don't for get TCB for 2.1% HAHA :smile:

Actually if you stop your DD 2 days before it's due you maximise your membership and my contract doesn't have a months notice attached.

BEWARE:- the day you stop your DD they will turn your access code off

Just got off the phone with PureGym. The customer advisor said that you can indeed apply the 6 months free voucher to exisiting memberships. Just call up with the code O2 give you when purchasing the band and they will apply it to your account. The PureGYm advisor also said it didn't matter which gym you already had membership with.

What about the joining fee? Will you need to pay it when activating the free 6 month membership?

Would also be interested to know if this extends the pure gym membership as mine's about to go up to £15.99 a month. I assume you have to pay a new joining fee as well?

anyone knows if all of their gyms are included... e.g st pauls..

I just spotted this and tried to find out if you can add the 6 months on to your existing pure gym membership but they were useless and couldn't tell me. I've now messaged them on Facebook and I might ring pure gym tomorrow.

If anyone interested in this and is near an o2 store can you go in and ask. I would but there isn't an o2 store in my local town I work!

The terms on the o2 website doesn't say anything about exisiting puregym members but does say this, so might be worth a pop:

The closing date for the Offer is 31st March 2016 and for claiming your free gift is 30th April 2016. Customers must redeem their free membership by calling Pure Gym Member services 0344 477 0005 and supplying the code on the back of the Voucher provided with your Eligible Device.

Here's the actual link for anyone looking:

https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/smartwatches/#sort=content.sorting.featured

I hope it does, I've been a Pure Gym member for nearly 4 years.

Tried it out...
Free returns if it doesn't work out

Thought whole point buying fitness tracker was so didn't need to go to the gym given most of newer gym equipment ( bikes/treadmills) have built in monitors ???

Might buy this and sell in ebay

Currently paying £12.99 a month at my local Pure Gym and also looking for a fitness tracker

Will check my local today to see if its new memberships only

Hot

Sweet

Sorely tempted to get this; according to the PureGym site, memberships in London are at least £25pm in my area. :confused:

Will do, would you be going near a store tomorrow by any chance to ask?

Saw today in newspaper, I wonder if gym comes with 12 months contract or more? Puregym is central London starts from £29.99 and no contracts.

Thanks!! This must go hot hot.
