Ownership and management
PureGym is privately owned by CCMP Capital and other investors. In 2014, rival The Gym Group attempted to take over Pure Gym, but abandoned the takeover after it was referred to the Competition and Markets Authority.
In May 2015, PureGym said they are close to buying their UK rival LA Fitness for around £60 million to £80 million.
Humphrey Cobbold took over from Peter Roberts as the CEO and Peter Roberts has, in turn, become the Executive Chairman, with Adam Bellamy continuing as the CFO.
