JD Gyms - Doncaster Omdömen 

Amazing gym when opened and I have been a member since then. Initially there were very helpful PT’s who maintained gym etiquette/discipline, cleanliness was great, etc

Now the complete opposite. There has been no new equipment since the gym opened therefore much is getting very tired. Simple repairs take far too long. The equipment is subject to extremely high use, probably compared to most other JD Gyms therefore it should be maintained and replaced more frequently. I have handed in multiple cable attachments which are dangerously worn, evidencing either a lack of maintenance, or ‘tick box’ checks.

PT’s - due to they their contract generally do not care, apart from their clients. I have not seen one PT ask a member to re-rack weights or pick up their litter for years.

Cleanliness - this is a major concern and I’m sure if the local authority visited at certain times the gym would be closed. The male changing room and toilets should be cleaned hourly during peak times. They can be absolutely disgusting. Cleans overnight are frequently missed.

JD are happy to take money from members but only do the bare minimum in return. Considering the quantity of members at this particular gym, JD should be doing more for them. JD will probably think that the gym itself attracts so many members because it is a good gym, but unfortunately I suspect this to be mainly due to its location.

I have spoken with managers of the gym over the phone and in person. The consistent message is that they try but nothing happens above them.

A recent power outage was the final nail in the coffin. Power was off for approximately 10 hours throughout the day this week. Members were only to find out of this after travelling to the gym, as JD did not think to put messages out on social media, via email, or through their app.

I’m now looking to join another gym.

Always they got a problem with shower cabins, sauna and many training machines always out of order and looks nobody don't want to fix this. For 30 pound per month can be and better. Unfortunately but I thinking choosing another gym and it's not be JD

It’s really sad that there isn’t another gym around my area. JD Gym is the worst gym I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s always dirty, and many of the machines are often not working. Most of the equipment is from the 90s and constantly causes problems. The locker rooms are often overflowing with trash, and nobody takes care of it. It’s a complete disaster...

My son's bag, which contained all of his school supplies, was stolen from his locker while he was working out at the gym. I wonder how a gym this size can lack lockers with keys. The thief opened the locker, stole the bag, and left. The reception staff saw nothing and refused to provide CCTV footage.

Easy access and use of equipment.
Space and flexibility
Helpful staff

Equipment and changing rooms all ok . Unfortunately every time I ask about the sauna being out of order I get different answers ( usually rubbish) although I am still paying for something I cannot use , definitely need someone to be honest will it ever be working again if not I can take myself and my money elsewhere.

A good gym however a few machines are out of order in the cardio section and at busy times it's hard to use the desired machinery as it is often occupied.

The equipment is good but the car park situation is ridiculous. The men's changing rooms and sauna smell very bad and are not clean.

I used the men sauna and it was terible experience, dirty, rubish on the floor, fag ends, leak from ceiling and the water was not draining.

This is the second time I’ve join JD Gyms. The first time was when it open with all new shiny equipment.

I’ve rejoined due to JD Gyms is closer for me and easier to get to. I have found that the equipment dirty and a bit all over the place. The dumb bell rack mixed up and missing or damaged.

The attachment for the cable machines are damaged & a bit of a mix match and have made me go and buy my own handles to use.

The gym it’s self has gone down in merit in my opinion but for the hours I spend working out and location for me it’s ok but could be better.

Gym looks very trendy but the machines feel cheap and flimsy

Shocked and saddened to hear that we are losing some fabulous classes at JD Gym Doncaster
Spin classes and body attack classes all going in the name of cost cutting ! No classes on a Sunday at all !

Mark Sands classes are some of the best and most popular classes at JD Doncaster.
Some people only subscribe because of his classes
I think JD should have a re think before people start to look else where for their weekend classes

Good range of equipment

Friendly welcoming Gym

I’m very excited visiting this gym.

good equipment and classes, good that it’s 24 hours. however after a recent price increase it’s a shame that the locker rooms still aren’t 24/7 and that you can only go once a day. the gym is also extremely busy and often you can’t use the machines you want to use because they’re taken.

The machines and building needs upkeeping and the entire place smells due to their sauna.

Gym itself is really good, the big downside is male bathroom/toilet, smells horrible and it is very messy state most of the time. Maybe some air fresheners and bleach used on regular basis? Also, containers with soap are empty most of the time… Clearly, poor control and management of that aspect.

Hi

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share some feedback based on my recent visits to the gym. I've been quite disappointed with the cleanliness and the state of the equipment. The crossover machine handles are often scarce, making it frustrating to find some to use. Additionally, a lot of the equipment looks worn out and could use some maintenance.

The condition of the toilets is also concerning, as they are often dirty and unhygienic. Given that JD is such a big brand name, it's surprising to see these issues. Furthermore, the area for deadlifts has noticeable dips, and the clips for the bars are virtually non-existent.

I hope these concerns can be addressed soon to improve the overall experience.

The lat pull down machine, near the entrance to the right hand side, where you secure your legs is not secured properly.

The cold shower hasn't worked since I signed up so I cannot do hot and cold therapy, also it has been out of order for an month, when I asked a memeber of staff.

The showers stink and are filthy the past 3 days I've been in.

I had high hopes for this gym and it does have what i want but some equipment like the lat pull down machine is faulty, there was no clear sign to where a peice of equipment is to what I needed, I needed a different handle but I couldn't find it and there was nothing on the wall or any buckets with different handles in.

I really would like to use the cold shower and as of yesterday staff do not know when it will be fixed.
