JD Gyms - Doncaster Reviews 

Nothing in particular

Advertised as 24 Hours, I go on a night time due to work, the studio’s locked, toilets, showers, sauna, lockers are closed and locked at 12, open again at 5am. You get to only use to main room. Whereas other gyms the full facility’s are available. I wouldn’t say this is a 24 Hour gym. Also can only go to the gym once a day as it will not let you scan back in. If you leave something there and go to pick it up you can’t, if you want to go to a lesson you can’t if you’ve already been that day. Good equipment but not worth the money IF you like to go late. App needs updating, other gyms let you know the busy periods, and centre the app around you, how busy it is, at that moment of time,etc this app gives you a code and lesson times that’s it.

Love this gym,very professional company and great customer service

Decent gym, only issue I have is the mens showers. If there is only one shower running, the water is freezing and will not get warm. It only gets warm when someone else hits another shower button. It's been mentioned many times to staff and been like it for well over a year.

It’s nice and easy to navigate but it’s also a little bit cramped

As an organisation there is nothing you can do in your current business model - pile 'em high, sell it cheap.

Just too busy.

All goods, from machines to peaple and clean 5A realy happy 😊

JD Gyms used to be a great a gym, due to work circumstances I had to stop my membership last year, however I joined again recently and every session back has been disappointing. - Handles/Grips missing from equipment, a lot of machines not working, showers unexpectedly changing temperatures and also the closing of the sauna because there was water bottles in there - I understand that the users need to appreciate the space however it doesn’t make any sense “punishing” everyone else by turning the sauna off for a week or more. I over heard multiple people in the gym complaining about the same situation “I came today just for the sauna” - they wasn’t able to use a facility that they’re paying for because the staff thought it was ok to switch off.

Awful gym, rubbish equipment.. absolutely freezing.

Very nice and clean gym. Spacious and has lots of equipment. The true bonus is the sauna. What’s important it is open 24/7, has parking and secure entrance. Highly recommended!

It's a little bit to cold in the gym. It's not summer anymore 😁

On my visit this past Monday sadly the sauna was turned off, it was disappointing as I was really looking forward to using it. Though the gym staff was friendly and polite, the staff assured me he would look into this for me

No staff on floor. Staff stay in staff room . After 3 sessions of going am yet to see staff on the floor . U have to go to staff door to get any help , would be nice for an employee to be on the floor so you don’t have to go looking for one if you have an issue.

Didn’t end up going to the gym after someone I know had a bad time there and it put me off. So I cancelled my membership on day 15. They deliberately processed the cancellation one day after my next payment was taken to get another £21.99 out of me. Kindly pointed out in the terms it says “30 days notice helps” it doesn’t say require. And 15 days notice should’ve been more than enough. However they are refusing a refund even though I never went at all.

My idea is- JD app should show how busy the gym is at the time- meaning how many ppl is currently at the gym. Surely it is possible to create an algorithm that counts amount of scanned barcodes at the entry/exit stage and sends that data live on the app.
That would be so useful especially for ppl that stretch their daily schedules. Doncaster branch is really busy place and from what I been told by my friends that use Leeds branch- it is the same. That option on the app would definitely avoid disappointments caused by coming to the gym and realising that it’s necessary to come back later or even skip training session.

Spinning bikes, not serviced Toilets have not cleaned. Showers are Door broken you'll look after the club it's not done

Ok experience, but had problems with using my code to get in and out.

Kit is always broken, cleaning never happens, changing rooms locked from 12pm to 5am (more like 7am) in a 24 hour gym.

I have been a member of this GYM before but unfortunately it is local to me.
Fortunately I only want to do a bit of running and some cycling.
The GYM doesn’t appear to get much of a clean. The sanitation stations have been removed therefore you are usually following the previous person with their sweat all over the machine. Not everyone would use them but those of us with hygiene standards would.
There are rarely any staff to speak to or ask for advise and to be fair when I have I have felt like I’ve been brushed off.
Finally the amount of machines that either don’t work or are broken is ridiculous. I had to get on 3 spin bikes once before finding one that actually worked properly and a couple of running machines as the belts were slipping.

I liked the vast array of equipment and facilities. I just don't like the music genre. Its a bit too loud and overpowering. Plus I won't train in headphones or earpods.
